“…Moreover, if there exist feeling trust and safety (FTS) in local society, then without any hurdle, their desirability for entrepreneurship raises so it also strongly influences entrepreneurial intentions (EI). Analysis shows that if they are having neighborhood connection (NC), then they know each other in community so positively influence on perceived desirability of entrepreneurship (PDE) which has positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (EI) and these results are in line with the results of Ali, Ahsan and Dziegielewski (2017); Roxas and Azmat (2014); Lee (2009); and Liao and Welsch (2005).…”

“…Following the studies of Onyx and Bullen (2000) and Roxas and Azmat (2014), this study also considers four facets of community social capital which have been recognized as valid and reliable measures of social capital at community level. These four facets are family and friends' connection (FFC), participation in local community (PLC), neighborhood connection (NC), and feeling of trust and safety (FTS).…”

“…Entrepreneurial intention shows overall intention to start a new venture (Krueger et al, 2000). Entrepreneurial intentions indicate the conscious and voluntary decision to start a business and by following Roxas and Azmat (2014); this study also examines EI by looking at three main variables, i.e., perceived desirability of entrepreneurship (PDE), perceived social norm towards entrepreneurship (PSNE), and perceived self-efficacy (PSE). PDE shows an individual's perception about positive and negative outcomes of commencement of a business (Fayolle, 2005).…”

“…PSNE measures the existing social pressures exhaling from one's perception of what people or groups think of someone who engages with business, and PSE indicates one's perception of the feasibility of commencement of a business in such a way that he/she thinks that she/he can or cannot continue the process of setting up such business (Krueger et al, 2000). As suggested by Roxas and Azmat (2014), PDE, PSE, and PSNE tend to mediate the influence of social capital on entrepreneurial intention, as social capital does not necessarily directly increase entrepreneurial interest to start a new venture. It is further argued positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship, individual's perception of social norms, and one's personal belief in entrepreneurial engagement have greater influence on the entrepreneurship intentions.…”

“…It is also discussed that these three factors affected by social capital within one's immediate community and therefore, the mediating role between social capital and entrepreneurial intention is played by PDE, PSE, and PSNE. This study thus considers that EI is formed by an individual's PSNE, PSE, and PDE as suggested by Krueger and Carsrud (1993) and Roxas and Azmat (2014).…”

Understanding the antecedents of the entrepreneurial intentions is vital in development of entrepreneurship in a region. Entrepreneurship is considered as one of the important elements of local economic development which can be used to address the issues of poverty and scarcity of livelihood opportunities in rural areas of the world. This study investigates the influence of social capital on entrepreneurial intentions in rural area of Pakistan. For this purpose, a representative sample of 325 respondents has been selected from rural community in Gilgit-Baltistan. The constructed model has been estimated using the partial least square method and the results show that social capital has significant positive impact on entrepreneurial intentions by forming perceived desirability, perceived self-efficacy, and perceived social norms towards entrepreneurship. This study recommends rural community of Pakistan should be given awareness about the potential of entrepreneurship opportunities and such awareness programs have unique advantages to various segments of rural community. Women, unemployed individuals, and younger generations in particular may get the maximum benefits as people in mountainous regions have already limited earning options. In such a case, developing entrepreneurial intentions of the mountain community in Gilgit-Baltistan leads to understandings of benefits of initiating their own ventures, get economic advantages, and contribute to households' income.

Following the fish inland: understanding fish distribution networks for rural development and nutrition security

et al. 2019

© 2019, International Society for Plant Pathology and Springer Nature B.V. In developing countries, smallscale fisheries are both a pivotal source of livelihood and essential for the nutritional intake of larger food insecure populations. Distribution networks that move fish from landing sites to coastal and inland consumers offer entry points to address livelihood enhancement and food security objectives of rural development initiatives. To be able to utilize fish distribution networks to address national development targets, a sound understanding of how local systems function and are organized is imperative. Here we present an in-depth examination of a domestic market chain in Timor-Leste that supplies small-pelagic fish to coastal and inland communities. We present the market chain's different commodity flows and its distributive reach, and show how social organization strongly influences people's access to fish, by determining availability and affordability. We suggest there is potential to advance Timor-Leste's food and nutrition security targets by engaging with local influential actors and existing social relations across fish distribution networks. We argue that in addition to developing improvements to fish distribution infrastructure, utilizing existing or locally familiar practices, organization and social capital offers opportunity for long term self-sufficiency. Livelihood and food security improvement initiatives involving natural resource-dependent communities are more likely to succeed if they incorporate rural development perspectives, which frame directly targeted interventions ('intentional' development) within broader structural contexts ('immanent' development).
