Study of the views of the enterprises having benefited from Rural Development Investments Support Program in Western Mediterranean Region
Abstract
The industrialization has led to remarkable changes in world economy. The urban areas have been regarded as the focal points of the economic development and more importance have been attached to these areas while the rural areas have taken backseat. All these have caused the economic imbalances between rural and urban areas to increase. However, the idea that the rural and urban areas form a whole and no distinction is to be made between two have gained acceptance in many countries. Thus, this has shifted the direction of the investments to the rural areas. In Turkey, rural development activities initiated in early years of the republic and several projects, strategies and programs have been developed. Rural Development Investments Support Program (RDISP) that was put into practice in 2006 is one of these activities. Within the scope of the program, 96 enterprises in Western Mediterranean Region (Antalya, Burdur and Isparta) were entitled to receive government funds from between the years 2006 and 2011. The enterprises demand that the deficiencies and challenges in making use of the products grown in the region should be removed and the needs of the region should be met. This study has the objective of analyzing the projects that the enterprises in Western Mediterranean Region that have benefited from this program developed within RDISP, the business segments of these enterprises, the underlying reasons for developing such projects, the objectives they would like to attain, their viewpoints regarding the project, the challenges as well as what to be done to enhance the program.
