The Community Initiative LEADER I and the implementation and results of the Hungarian Pilot LEADER programme in rural development

Bulletin of Geography. Socio-economic Series, 2013

The aim of this study is to present the basic methodological elements of the LEADER Community Initiative in rural development established in 1991 and its practical implementation in geography. The most important principle of the LEADER programme is the territorial approach and the appearance of local communities in a relevant subregional and landscape context. The determination and creation of a natural and cultural geographical framework is not at all an easy task, although the LEADER cautiously puts down basic principles and makes clear references to spatial definition of local action groups. The aim of LEADER I is to demonstrate the spatial segregation of these communities and to evolve a particular image and a kind of critical mass (population, resources) to build a relative self-sufficiency

Leader in czech rural development

2014

The initiative LEADER is the successful method of rural development which has been applied in the EU since 1991. The LEADER target is decentralized rural development support directed by local subjects, so called local action group. The Czech Republic has been preparing for this method since 2004, when some support programmes using LEADER principles came into force. This article is focused on LEADER method evaluation in the Czech Republic. It presents the strength and weakness and adumbrates recommendation for the budget period 2007-2013.

LEADER: Theory and Practice from Hungarian Point of View

2014

The EU access of Eastern European former socialist countries has presented new frames of rural development in principles, key actors and terminology as well . In the spirit of the above our article aims to highlight the essential attributes of LEADER approach in Hungary. The most important results of our research can be summarized in the following major statements: firstly we may argue that a critical mass of participants is needed for a proper realization of individual action plans. Secondly it can be stated that LEADER principles create an overlapping and united system which set up a proper frame for the implementation of the programme additionally the whole method is different from the earlier achievements of the EU agricultural policy. Finally the Hungarian (and probably the Central European) state-of the art is quite unique because of local anomalies.

Human Resource Development As A Possibility For Developing The Most Underdeveloped Microregions Of Hungary1

Interdisciplinary Management Research, 2014

Regional differences in development have further been increased in the lasttwo decades. The most important question is developing the most underdevelopedregions. Due to planning and project generating work, the micro-regions havedeveloped the project package within the centrally prescribed frameworks. Thechosen areas for financing may have been influenced by political aspects aswell. The most essential problems cannot be faced with the help of thismethod. We have conducted research regarding the improvement of thedevelopmental work of the 8 Transdanubian MD (Most Disadvantageous)micro-regions in order to summarise the experience of the developmentprogramme. By the experience of micro-regional planning, most problems occurin connection with unemployment and the related underqualification, and withthe underlying drop-out from education.

LEADER Program—An Inclusive or Selective Instrument for the Development of Rural Space in Romania?

Sustainability, 2021

The LEADER program is one of the European Union’s financing instruments dedicated to the development of the rural communities. The instrument was introduced in the Romanian rural territory in 2007, a territory characterised by a high level of local and regional economic inequalities. The main goal of the present research is to question whether the development level specific to the rural communities have influenced their performance in managing the LEADER program. In order to answer this question, the characteristics of the initial level of development were analysed in relation to the spatial distribution of LEADER funds. The indicators taken into consideration were the number of projects, funds per capita, funds per Local Action Group (LAG), and the percentage of employees from the total population. In order to assess the relation between the initial level of development and the LAG’s performance, the method used was the Ordinary Least Squares regression, which calculates a set of s...
