The multifunctional development of rural localities

The suggested model of multifunctional development can be considered suitable for rural localities of a northern region, since the principles which this model is based on are fundamental for any industrial region. The expected outcome, after the realization of the model, is an increase in food security and an improvement of living standards for the rural population. To achieve this, the following principles of local administration should be realized: The first principle is that the multifunctional development must consider the interests of all social groups of the given industrial region, and it must be aimed at increasing the public welfare of all groups. Secondly, the model must be targeted at the development of the specific advantageous features of the agricultural producers of region, but not at the expense of competition with external producers. The third principle is that, rather than focusing on changes in benchmarks for the development of rural localities, the local administration should strengthen the economic growth by improving food quality for the population. The fourth principle is that the model develops not only the economic potential of the rural localities but, primarily, social growth. The model points out the importance of the multifunctional development of rural localities, which, in turn, is bound to affect the standards of living in the rural localities. This model of a regional model of multifunctional development was introduced to the local governments, and it was found to be promising as a mandatory part of the regional innovative development program

Bangladesh has been improved its economic condition dramatically in the last decade. Currently, it’s considered as a middle-income country and there is an aspiration that Bangladesh will be a high-income country in 2041. The secret behind this is the development of the energy sector which boost up other sectors to achieve the sustainable development. Currently 99% area of Bangladesh is under the coverage of the electricity and the government is committed to bring 100% area under the national grid system within 2021. But there are several challenges which may arise in future such as quality electricity supply, regular maintenance, future development etc. All of these are related to the funding and technological advancement.

Also try to analysis the social-economic impacts of it on Bangladeshi citizens

Формирование интенций студентов российского университета в сфере социального предпринимательства

Social entrepreneurship is nowadays an appealing topic for researchers to investigate. It is considered to be an agent for social and economic development. To involve youth in social entrepreneurship and provide them with the opportunity to use their knowledge, skills and abilities to solve real world problems is a task to be addressed by modern society. This paper explains Russian university students’ intention towards social entrepreneurship which is considered to be the predictor of actual behavior. We developed hypothesizes based on factors which have an impact on the social entrepreneurial intention. The tested hypothesizes confirm that attitude as well as subjective norm and perceived behavioral control all have a positive impact on the social entrepreneurial intention. The entrepreneurial environment and education as a contextual element were found to be significant predictors of the social entrepreneurial intention. The study uses the quantitative method where data of 107 Russian students were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 20). In order to detect the impact of variables on each other, correlation and multiple regression tests were run. The results show positive intentions of Russian university students towards entrepreneurship. The study also found that contextual variables-entrepreneurial environment and education have an impact on social entrepreneurship intention. The entrepreneurial environment was found to be the most significant amongst other variables of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control.В настоящее время социальное предпринимательство является актуальной и перспективной темой исследований. Социальное предпринимательство требует развития особых форм знания, умений и навыков. Вовлечь молодежь в социальное предпринимательство и предоставить им возможность использовать свои знания, навыки и способности для решения проблем реального мира – это задача современного общества. В предлагаемой статье изучаются интенции студентов в области социального предпринимательства. Исследование направление на анализ интенций как важного предиктора поведенческой модели социального предпринимательства. В статье выдвигается гипотеза значимости факторов, оказывающих влияние на предпринимательские интенции студентов. Авторы утверждают, что намерение стать социальным предпринимателем определяется в большей степени субъективными, а не объективными факторами, поэтому деятельность университетов по формированию предпринимательских интенций должна быть направлена на развитие особой поведенческой модели. В статье объясняются факторы, обусловливающие стремление студентов к социальному предпринимательству. Доказательство гипотезы строится на основе данных полученных в результате опроса студентов. Была использована случайная выборка из 107 студентов. Интерпретация и анализ корреляции и множественной регрессии в статье основывались на использовании «Статистического пакета для социальных наук» (SPSS, версия 20). В качестве теоретико-методологической основы исследования была использована теория спланированного поведения. Наряду с такими переменными отношения к предпринимательству как субъективная норма и воспринимаемый поведенческий контроль, было показано значимое влияние предпринимательской среды и образования: последние оказывают сильное влияние на интенции и инициативу студентов в социальном предпринимательстве. Выводы свидетельствуют о том, что государству необходимо уделять больше внимания предпринимательскому образованию, вовлечению молодежи в социальное предпринимательство

Russia’s rural entrepreneurial ecosystems

Rural entrepreneurship is considered one of the key driving forces for the development of rural and regional socio-economic systems. I propose to analyse the development of rural entrepreneurship in Russia within the framework of the entrepreneurial ecosystem theory. The article presents the results of studying economic and institutional factors constraining entrepreneurial activity in rural areas. The research, based on a survey of rural entrepreneurs in the Ural region, aimed to identify factors that have the greatest negative impact on the development of rural entrepreneurship. The survey questionnaire was compiled using the Likert scale. The survey was conducted over 10 years; each year a simple random sample of 30 respondents was chosen. Then the data was processed with the help of special software “Strata 11”. The obtained results have demonstrated that the main factors hampering the development of rural entrepreneurship were the lack of qualified workers able to perform innovative types of work (value 4.6), high cost (value 4.6) and high risk of innovative activity (value 4). The most interesting is the dynamic of the “enterprise immunity to innovation” aspect. While in 2007 it was named as one of the main negative factors (value 4.5), in 2017 its value decreased significantly (to 3). I claim, a lot of entrepreneurs incorrectly percept a business development model that is adequate to entrepreneurial ecosystem’s conditions. That misunderstanding leads to efficiency reduction of both certain enterprises and rural entrepreneurial ecosystem in general. The study’s results have both scientific and practical importance for defining a model of rural entrepreneurship development and determining the most effective mechanisms of its support. © 2019 Institute of Economics Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Solid Waste Management: Entrepreneurial and Managerial Approach

В настоящее время перед практически всеми городами остро стоит проблема не просто сбора бытовых отходов, а формирование системы экологически чистой переработки бытовых отходов. В рамках решения этой насущной проблемы цивилизационного развития Уральский Федеральный университет совместно с другими университетами из Европы, России и Казахстана участвует в проекте по разработке образовательной программы по организации переработки твердых бытовых отходов EduEnvi. Нами разработаны принципы, концепции и модели организации муниципальной системы переработки твердых бытовых отходов. В основу нами положены институциональные принципы построения системы, которые определяют природу и развитие исследуемой системы, а также ее эффективность. Для определения эффективности нами был применен принцип повышения уровня жизни населения.Currently, almost all cities are facing an acute problem of not just collecting household waste, but the formation of a system for environmentally friendly processing of household waste. As part of solving this urgent problem of civilizational development, the Ural Federal University, together with other universities from Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan, participates in a project to develop an educational program for organizing the processing of solid household waste EduEnvi. We have developed principles, concepts and models for organizing the municipal solid waste processing system. We are based on the institutional principles of building a system that determine the nature and development of the system under study, as well as its effectiveness. To determine the effectiveness, we applied the principle of raising the standard of living of the population.Статья подготовлена при поддержке проекта программы Erasmus+ 585761-EPP-1-2017-1-FI-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP «Повышение компетентности в области устойчивого управления отходами в вузах России и Казахстана (EduEnvi)»
