This article investigates three types of embeddedness of Fisheries Local Action Groups in Poland (FLAGs—area-based cross-sectoral partnerships operating in fisheries, aquaculture and related domains) within local and external organisational environments: institutional, structural and relational. We compare the results of A) content analysis of legal administrative documents about FLAGs (reflecting institutional embeddedness), B) the webometric analysis of hyperlinks to local and external organisations from the websites of FLAGs (reflecting structural embeddedness), with C) findings from semi-structured interviews conducted with FLAG representatives on direct relations with local and external stakeholders (reflecting relational embeddedness). The highest share of FLAGs linked to central government bodies, followed by local governments. Interviewees most frequently identified regional and local authorities, followed by local farmers and entrepreneurs as their main institutional contacts. This discrepancy may reflect the differentiated functions of open and direct communication channels. The links to EU institutions and foreign LAGs were the weakest. The observed pattern of ties indicates that while FLAGs exhibit a degree of local and external embeddedness, typical for MLG, their primary orientation in many cases appears to be securing EU funding rather than engaging in deliberative processes concerning sustainable fisheries policy. These characteristics of embeddedness allow two types of FLAGs to be identified: transformative pro-development and narrow grant-orientated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103791"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144657280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative online survey across several European countries tested five hypotheses regarding the differences between the two groups. A regression model was used to determine whether differentiation in support is necessary. Based on the results, we found that the feeling of being “established” as a farmer is influenced by the mode of entry—whether as a family successor or a newcomer. The two groups differ in their contributions to agriculture and rural development, as well as in their dependency on public support. These differences underscore the importance of considering entry methods when designing support schemes. The results suggest that the efficiency of new entrant support could be strengthened by tailoring schemes that take into account the specific entry methods of farmers.

To this end, the present paper analyses five case studies of GI designations, three in Peru and two in Ecuador. A qualitative method centred on the gathering of semi-structured interview data from different actors involved in the development and management of these GIs has been adopted. The analysis of these cases shows that these designations are valued, primarily, as tools for accessing international markets. Yet, the results also point to other objectives, most notably the contribution they can make to product differentiation and the empowerment of producers along the food chain. However, this article identifies a series of obstacles that hinder the meeting of these expectations, including a lack of alignment with the supply chain and market demands, and the multiple scales at which a GI has to be governed. Moreover, it is evident that the GIs are often granted without any consideration of the objectives and expectations of local actors. This appears to explain why, in some of the cases analysed, the GIs continue to exist solely on paper.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103788"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is based on individual-level register data that have been harmonized across time. The main focus is on the development of the sex and age profile of the rural-urban migrants. The analysis is conducted using discrete-time event history analysis in terms of the logistic hazard rate of rural-urban migration. The results, as expected, show that the development of the hazard of rural-urban migration increased substantially over time, closely following the general development of urbanization in Sweden. Furthermore, that the hazard among women was continuously larger than among men. However, the relative differences between the sexes were largest at the beginning of the investigated period and have become smaller over time, primarily due to men gradually adopting migration patterns similar to those of women. The study suggests that this is due to the rural labor market, which for a long time offered more compelling pathways for men to stay in rural areas. However, as these rural labor markets gradually declined during the 20th century, coupled with the increasing importance of higher education, rural men began moving to urban areas to a greater degree. While young adults constituted the age group with the highest risk of rural-urban migration throughout the period, the earliest rural-urban migrants started to move directly as they reached working age, however, after the 1980s, movers typically postpone migration until their early 20s, the same time as they enter into tertiary education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103767"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144596487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Hypothetical Discrete Choice Experiment (HDCE) was conducted, utilizing images (pictures) and video formats (2D and 3D) to represent the destination landscape with varying levels of immersion. Participants expressed preferences for different apitourism activities (museum visits, hiking tours, tasting experiences, beekeeping, and wellness activities). Participants consistently preferred museum visits, hiking tours, and tasting experiences across all presentation formats. Beekeeping and wellness activities were less popular choices. WTP estimates differed significantly depending on exposure to landscape images and the specific presentation format. Notably, the study suggests a potential link between exposure to video 3D representations and increased WTP for apitourism activities. However, further research is needed to confirm this association definitively.

Recent studies of rural depopulation have attempted to measure rural depopulation risk using depopulation or development indexes, but without considering a crucial dimension in this field: spatial dependence. The main objective of this paper is to include spatial dependence in the analysis using two novel approaches. First, we propose a spatial depopulation risk index (sDRI) for a large set of demographic and socio-economic variables using spatial principal component analysis. For this purpose, we use a geostatistical tool, the semivariogram, to determine the range of spatial dependence. Second, we provide a depopulation risk probability map (DRPM), showing the risk across the region as a whole, produced using Indicator Kriging. We apply these methods to the case of Castilla-La Mancha, a region of Spain in which vast areas have population densities lower than those of Siberia or Lapland, and which has been a pioneer in the implementation of laws and economic measures to combat rural depopulation. The results show that (i) accounting for spatial dependence in the design of the compound index provides a consistent classification of municipalities according to depopulation risk, and (ii) depopulation risk probability maps are suitable instruments for the identification of zones in which countermeasures can be applied.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103771"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
