“…When assessing entrepreneurship in a developing context, we need to understand the factors that motivate women to start and run a business ( Anwar-Ul-Haq et al, 2014 ). Several variables that affect entrepreneurship as a career choice have been identified including age ( Dary and Kuunibe, 2012 ; Litsardopoulos et al, 2020 ), education ( Shehu and Abubakar, 2015 ) marital status ( Dary and Kuunibe, 2012 ), household size ( Babulo et al, 2008 ), family support ( Constantinidis et al, 2019 ), location ( Brown et al, 2006 ; Shehu and Abubakar, 2015 ), access to markets ( Wanyama et al, 2010 ), access to credit ( Kuwornu and Dumayiri, 2014 ; Tisdell et al, 2020 ) and social networks ( Shehu and Abubakar, 2015 ). Social networks in literature about livelihood activities have been reported ( Scoones, 1998 ), and in the rural context, social networks are more important as compared to urban settings particularly for securing micro-loans ( Tisdell et al, 2020 ).…”

Entrepreneurship is considered as one of the strategies for economic and regional development. In particular, women entrepreneurs engaged in different geographic locations, where their characteristics and business factors are different in each location. This study examines home-based women entrepreneurs in Pakistan in relation to their place of residence, specifically rural or urban context. Very few studies have considered place of residence as a variable affecting women’s businesses at the household level. This is critical since the business context can exert a major influence on available resources and constraints that affect business viability and sustainability. Data were collected from 504 women entrepreneurs using a survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and binary logistics regression were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings revealed important and significant differences based on the rural versus urban context of women entrepreneurs including home ownership, household size, the number of adult family members in the household, family financial position, business record keeping, having a bank account, and type of business. While the binary logistic regression analysis reported adult family members, family financial position, business record keeping, bank account, and beautician business were the significant predictors of the women entrepreneurs’ rural–urban model. The findings offer implications for policymakers, funders, bank/financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations for increasing women’s entrepreneurship, empowerment, and income equality in developing countries.

“…Several researchers evaluated the results of implementing the SLA to find methods relevant to the context that can be generalised. However, the results of these evaluations cannot be used as the same pattern to be applied to different regional contexts (Brown et al, 2006). The conceptual framework of rural community livelihood strategies in the household realm is used to identify things that cause dependency as an aspect of vulnerability that can be minimised (Rahmatullah et al, 2015) and alleviate poverty (Khatiwada et al, 2017).…”

This article aims to describe the livelihoods of communities around the mining area through cases in Mulawarman Village, Tenggarong Seberang District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. These findings show that the vegetation index value in Mulawarman Village degraded from 2014 (0.35) until 2019 (0.33). It shows forest degradation, which affects the livelihoods of rural communities that depend on agriculture or forestry. The leading cause of the decline in the vegetation index value is the expansion of coal mining activities. Indirectly, coal mining activities have limited the ability of the Mulawarman village community to access natural resources. Some residents of Mulawarman village have decided to sell agricultural land and move to other places. However, residents still survive to live in Mulawarman village by starting livestock and trading businesses to maintain their livelihoods.
