The Role of Social Entrepreneurship in Shaping Sustainable Rural Development: The Case Study of Croatian Mountain Rural Area Lika
Main purpose of the presentation is to explore social entrepreneurship as sustainable rural development supporting model that could bring development dimensions of Lika region in balance. Article consists of two thematic parts: in first part results of desk research are presented to describe social entrepreneurship scene in Croatia ; and in second part we present results of qualitative research in two segments. First segment of the qualitative research are semi-structured interviews with local social actors involved in Likas current socio-economic development (2013). Main topic of the research was the economic dimension of sustainable development. Second segment of the research was focus group with social entrepreneurship practitioners in Lika (2015) – civil society association. Main topic was state and development of social entrepreneurship. Research results are showing social actor’s awareness of opportunities for sustainable development in Lika (e.g. preserved natural resources) and also awareness of alternative and/or complementary economic models that could lead to enhanced quality of life. Key social actors (research participants) see social entrepreneurship as opportunity to develop alternative/complementary economic model in Lika, e.g. “to incorporate ideas of people in the economy and to adapt economy to people”. Additional “push” factor for development of social entrepreneurship is connected to the third sector actors (Association Prospero) as they are working on new project – eco-social farms and grouping of farms based on the inventiveness, communality and social capital. This could also lead to the possibility of neo-endogenous development, especially because Lika region still does not have development strategy.
