| Problem and objectives. Non-farm rural diversification is gaining prominence in the debate on rural development since the end of the 1990s. The expansion of non-farm employment and the diversification of incomes are important policy objectives because they offer a solution to the employment and structural problems of a shrinking agricultural sector. Development policies focusing on the rural non-farm sector aim at offering employment options and reducing urban migration. They can contribute to poverty reduction, economic growth and a more equal income distribution. This research is based on a household survey including 240 randomly selected rural households in the regions of Gorenjska and Pomurska in Slovenia as well as Gevgelija and Kumanovo in Macedonia.... |

| Several definitions of "rural" are available for national and provincial analysis using the databases at Statistics Canada. We compare six in this paper. Each definition emphasizes different criteria (population size, density, context) and has different associated thresholds. The size of the territorial units (building blocks) from which each definition is constructed also varies. As a result, an analyst's choice of "rural" definition matters. Different definitions generate a different number of "rural" people. Even if the number of "rural" people is the same, different people will be classified as "rural" within each definition. In general, each definition provides a similar analytical conclusion (e.g., rural people have lower employment rates and lower... |

| Social sustainability is “one of the three legs of the sustainability stool” (the other two are environmental and economic. There is limited literature that focuses on social sustainability to the extent that a comprehensive study of this concept is still missing. As a result, there have been very few attempts to define social sustainability as an independent dimension of sustainable development. Social sustainability is related to social capital, social inclusion, social exclusion and social cohesion in rural economies, terms that are measured by relevant social sustainability indicators. This paper aims to measure these indicators and to compare them. In order to measure these indicators, a household survey carried out in the context of the research... |

| R. G. Gregory's article on the effects of mineral discoveries on the Australian economy (Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, August 1976) has attracted much attention. While the partial-equilibrium nature of his model has enabled it to be absorbed readily, it has the usual theoretical limitations of such analyses. Allowing for general equilibrium repercussions, but still accepting his general assumptions, some of Gregory's conclusions regarding the impact of new mineral discoveries require modification or extension: (a) Although production of goods other than minerals can be expected to decline, the production of some goods in this category may rise; (b) A social gain is still possible even if outputs of other goods do not change; (c) While... |

| Le but de cette étude est de proposer des axes de recherche en vue de renforcer, dans une perspective de développement durable, la transformation locale et la commercialisation d’un produit traditionnel vietnamien typique : le vermicelle de tolomane. Dans la province de Hung Yen, la transformation de vermicelle de tolomane est une activité artisanale et participe au folklore local des villages. Cette province compte plus d’un million d’habitants sur une superficie de quelque 923000 ha dont 60% de superficie agricole. Chaque travailleur agricole y dispose en moyenne de 0,1ha mais, avec l’urbanisation, le développement d’importantes infrastructures routières et de zones industrielles, la surface agricole disponible est en constante diminution. La province... |
