Industrial legacy, contemporary views
Industrial heritage is often highlighted in development strategies as an asset that can be valorized and thus contribute to the redevelopment of old industrial regions. However, the inclusion of industrial heritage in development efforts is based on a specific constellation of perceptions and expectations of local or regional stakeholders, which ultimately transform these efforts into newly revitalized places. Based on semi-structured interviews …
Beyond the civic participation
The existential aspect of participation is a salient feature at the village level. • Residents prioritise existential needs and emphasise 'development of community'. • Conventional community‐development processes often overlook these concerns. • Axiology-driven discourse incorporates the existential realm into local development dialogue. This article investigates how rural wellbeing is shaped through civic and existential forms of participation. …
Disentangling the ‘capacity to act
In recent decades, attention to the role of actors in regional development has shifted from the role of 'formal and collective' actors to the role of individuals in change agency.In doing so, individuals mobilize their capacity to act, which comprises the total volume of resources accumulated over the course of their life.However, there is a lack of studies focusing on how such capacity is then mobilized for change agency.Therefore, this study se…
Exploring local land use conflicts through successive planning decisions
With immensely growing pressure on land and its scarcity, conflicting societal expectations concerning land use increasingly result in land use conflicts (LUCs). In this paper, we explore local LUCs, which we define as the complex situations, where fragmented planning policies encounter place-based societal conceptions and perceptions of site-specific developmental priorities. The paper adopts a dynamic approach and introduces a theory-driven typ…
Power relations and local agency
Local agency is marked by its structural boundedness including nation state strategies. We investigate the dynamic and mutually constitutive interrelationship between agency and state strategies to better understand and explain change in local development with the examples of four mining towns: Kiruna (Sweden), Zeitz (Germany), Most (Czechia) and Tatabánya (Hungary). They embody processes of industrial transition and mining activities that are he…
Barriers for and standpoints of key actors in the implementation of smart village projects as a tool for the development of rural areas
It was my duty to change this place’
Although old industrial regions (OIRs) face many development obstacles and suffer from a rather negative image, there are many examples of human agency contributing to the transformation of these regions and the creation of a new development path. When implementing change agency, individuals and groups use various resources, such as money, knowledge and social networks. However, the motives initiating these changes are diverse. This paper seeks t…
Evolution of alternative food networks in an old industrial region of Czechia
Changing Approaches to the Conceptualisation of Rural Space in Rural Studies
The article focuses on various approaches to conceptualising rural space within the evolution of (in particular British) rural studies. The overview starts with the functional definitions (descriptive and socio-cultural) typical for the positivist and modern period of rural studies. Descriptive and sociocultural definitions derive from the rural-urban dichotomy or continuum, and the rural space is defined in relation to cities as non-urban space.…
