“…Therefore, this research contributes to a broader understanding of the higher education system in a Western Balkan country, identifying it as a crucial pillar in tackling one of the biggest concerns in the region, the brain drain intention. Second, by observing the opinion of a large sample of current students at Macedonian universities, the investigation adds to the body of knowledge of higher education in developing countries, giving the possibility to recognize forms for improving higher education on its path toward sustainable education and equal working opportunities, which in the long run are responsible for the economic and social enhancement of the region (Churski et al, 2021). With this in mind, input is made to support educational policies that help hinder students’ intentions to leave the country and overcome the economic breach between Balkan countries and the European Union.…”

Following the relevant literature on higher education services, the objective of this study explores how the higher education perceived value outlines students’ satisfaction with the service and their migration intentions. Data from1,150 university students in Macedonia was collected and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that functional, emotional, conditional and image value perceived about the degree are significant incitements of overall satisfaction, while social influence by reference groups minimizes satisfaction. In turn, students’ satisfaction decreases their intentions to leave the country. Moreover, the year of study acts as a moderator by delivering higher satisfaction, hence reducing brain drain intentions, for students in higher courses. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need for universities to increase appreciation of the higher education system’s quality, efficiency, and reputation. Since the beginning of their studies, students should be able to recognize and experience their education as beneficial for their professional future in the country, reducing in this way one of the major concerns in Western Balkans, the brain drain intentions.

“…The local economy and labour market remain in a relatively good condition. For this area, however, growing unemployment among women is a distinctive feature (Churski et al, 2022). According to local development plans valid for the case study counties, that is a result of the specificity of the regional economy, as well as of the still popular patriarchal family model.…”

The goal of the study is to explore the co-evolution of the tourism and industrial sectors. This paper addresses the concept of inter-path dependency as the theoretical framework for this study. The case study of Bełchatów industrial district is applied to discuss the co-evolution of tourism and heavy industries. Tourism and heavy industries are usually seen as mutually exclusive. However, in the case of the Bełchatów industrial district, tourism (starting from social tourism, through business tourism and educational tourism) is confirmed as being complementary to the industrial path shaped by triggering events (launch of radical industrialisation, and economic transition). Recently, implementation of the Just Transition Mechanism was planned and includes development of leisure tourism in the case study area. Some doubts of that intersectoral linkages are discussed in the paper – mainly in the context of the expected sustainable development of the Bełchatów industrial district – and followed by policy recommendations.

This study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding effective design practices for crowdmapping in participatory mapping, considering the diverse agendas, expectations, and needs of stakeholders. Through interviews and analysis of a crowdmapping project, we developed a roadmap and guidelines to inform the design process of a web-based crowdmapping tool. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on end-user evaluation, our paper explores the perspectives of facilitators and developers involved in the participatory process. By understanding their motivations and perceptions, we can plan and design user-friendly tools that meet the requirements of all stakeholders in participatory mapping.
