Abstract:
The rural population constitutes a major segment in india. The livelihood strategies of this vast segment depend primarily on agriculture and allied activities. Growth in this agriculture sector has shown a declining trend during the last one decade. This has made huge impact on the domestic production, employment, etc.. These problem can be tackled to a certain extent by developing entrepreneurship in rural India .this distinctive challenge and opportunities of developing end in rural location, and also provides the necessary suggestion that can be used in this c

Abstract:
Rural tourism is an important form of tourism in many countries, including Finland. To understand rural tourists’ behaviour and help tourism companies market their products more efficiently many scholars have segmented rural tourists in several different geographical locations. This study aims to combine segmentation approaches used in earlier studies, namely motivation and benefit segmentation, and segment online rural tourists in Finland. Data is collected in a rural tourism affiliate website and analysed using cluster analysis on tourists’ motivations. Among 727 respondents, four rural tour

Abstract:
Increasing traffic flows on road infrastructures and the associated comfort and safety problems have led to an increased risk of accidents for road users. To take the proper corrective actions, it is fundamental to analyze the accident phenomenon in all its aspects. The purpose of the current paper was the development of an accident prediction model for rural road segments of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) Region. The model predicts the accident frequency as a function of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), segment length, and both geometrical and environmental features related to the targeted r

Abstract:
Control of vehicle speed is a central tenet of the safe systems approach to road safety. Most research shows that raising speed limits results in more injuries. Advocates of higher speed limits argue that this conclusion is based on older research, that traffic fatalities are decreasing despite higher speed limits, and that modern vehicles are able to safely travel at higher speeds. These arguments were used to justify raising speed limits on rural highways in British Columbia, Canada (July 2014). We used an interrupted time series approach to evaluate the impact of these speed limit increases

E-commerce has reached most of the consumers in the urban sector and the youth, but the challenge lies in front of the companies so that it reaches the rural sector and the aged people. The rural population of India has to go to nearby cities to purchase luxury products. E-commerce can widen its area of operations and come to their help. Also, thanks to Jio, the people aged more than 45 and the retired are increasingly getting digital in the urban areas. Many of them still purchase the old-fashioned

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global tourism sector in an unprecedented manner. After the relaxation of lockdown measures, there was an expectation about the chosen tourist environments and how rural tourism would be positioned. This chapter starts from a theoretical framework on rural tourism in Portugal and analyses how this segment has been impacted by COVID-19 from a quantitative perspective and the choices of summer season environments by Portuguese tourists through a questionnaire survey applied to almost 700 Portuguese tourists. The results show that demand increased and that r

Abstract This chapter explores how management of rural resources in Central Europe changed to expand the rural production from the thirteenth century on, highlighting the important transformations in food-production patterns and new technologies that made the region comparable to parts of the European medieval West. One significant element in this process was the massive transfer and flexible adaptation of organizational frameworks and agricultural techniques arriving with settlers from Western Europe. The increase in agricultural production not only contributed to a higher standard of living

Growing demand for energy, along with the depletion of traditional fossil fuels and the development of civilization, raises interest in the use of bioenergy in all sectors of the economy, including electricity, transport, heating, cooling, and industry. In developed countries bioenergy is an alternative to traditional non-renewable energy from fossil fuels, as its resources renew in natural processes, making it practically inexhaustible. Due to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, bioenergy is also more environmentally friendly than fossil energy. Thus bioenergy sector is a key segment o

Years ago, tourism was presented in numerous scientific papers as a phenomenon which greatly contributes to the economic and social well-being of the community in which it develops. It is known that there are various natural and cultural values which are located in rural or urban areas and which are used as such to promote an attractive tourist offer which will attract different segments of tourist demand. Given that tourism has a long tradition and that there is almost no country that does not recognize its multiple importance, the increase in competition on the tourist market was inevitable.

In everyday life, in engineering technology and processes, as well as in mechanical engineering, oblique collisions of bodies are widespread. These collisions can often be analysed numerically using computer programs. However, in many cases involving oblique collision analysis, optimization, and synthesis, it is desirable to derive analytical relationships in a general form. Such analysis can help predict desirable outcomes (e.g. rapid rebound) or prevent undesirable ones (e.g. jamming).
