“…This adds up to the case of the GSBR as a rural area with a significant share of the population depending on subsistent agricultural production. Rurality often relates to peripherality and remoteness (Máliková, Farrell and McDonagh, 2016). The GSBR is a rural area with a 29 km (45 min.)…”

Planning practice in Serbia is influenced by the transition to more efficient governance, including the digitalization of public administration. Urban areas adapt faster to new requirements in comparison to digital transition in rural areas (RA) and mountain areas (MA). This research aims to provide an understanding of the contextual factors for digital public participation in MA in the example of Serbia, with a focus on the Golija-Studenica Biosphere Reserve. The analysis is based on the contextual factors recognized in the recent literature and their testing through the available statistical data. The results suggest that RA, especially MA, have advantages in comparison to the national average only regarding a smaller share of vulnerable groups, including women. On the other hand, disadvantages are an aging population, a low level of technological equipment, and accessibility to technological advancement and knowledge. Findings suggest that future public participation formats in MA should be hybrid.

“…Periphery is often defined as an area "away from urban agglomerations" (Wojcik et al 2018), "on the outskirts of impact of regional centers, or in economically weak areas along regional borders" (Máliková, Farrell, and McDonagh 2016). Peripheral regions are characterized by a number of specific common features which could be determined from the political perspective as a high dependence on decisions of central authorities; in the terms of demographyas weak population density, sparse settlement system, zero or negative net migration; in socio-economic senseas low level of economic development, relatively high proportion of the primary sector in the economy, low per capita income and consequently household consumption, etc.…”

“…It is also suggested to measure peripherality by the travel time to the closest regional/sub-regional center (Wojcik et al 2018) as the potential for economic activity at any location is a function of its proximity to other economic centers and of its economic size (Schürmann and Talaat 2000). Some authors even propose to define the level of peripherality by mental maps (Máliková, Farrell, and McDonagh 2016).…”

The Role of an Open Border in the Development of Peripheral Border Regions: The Case of Russian-Belarusian Borderland

Does an open border necessarily contribute to a higher level of cross-border interactions in comparison to a stricter border regime, to intensification of cross-border contacts and bring social and economic benefits for border regions? Border location of a region often means that it belongs to the economic and social periphery of a country. Is an open border a tool to destroy the vicious circle of interdependence between border and peripheral location? The case of the boundary between Russia and Belarus offers a good opportunity for answering these questions. It is the only boundary in the post-Soviet space where customs and border control practice have virtually never been in place. Its regime and functions are determined by the policy of integration declared by the leadership of both countries. The paper is based on an analysis of statistical sources, 59 expert interviews and 320 structured interviews with local inhabitants collected during field studies in 19 border rayons (2008-2018). The conclusion is that processes of state-building in both countries and the separation of their economic and social space had a much stronger influence on borderlands than the openness of the boundary and the policy of integration. Most border rayons remain depressed.

Rozdílné bývá také nastavení územní podrobnosti při vymezování periferií (sídla, obce, okresy, NUTS), stejně tak uplatnění hierarchie periferií.…”

The aim of the paper is to delineate remote peripheral municipalities and compare the human and demographic capital of peripheral, semi-peripheral, and central municipalities of the study area. The paper applies the concept of hierarchized remoteness peripherality – peripheral municipalities are delineated on the basis of their considerable time distance from the central towns at the micro-, meso-, and macro-regional level. First, we define micro-regional central towns on the basis of population numbers, commuters, bus and train connections, and services. Consequently, peripheral and other municipalities were delineated. Then, we evaluated the human and demographic capital of peripheral and other municipalities, simultaneously, using 10 indicators. Generally, values of human and demographic capital are increasing towards central towns. Nevertheless, almost 40% of peripheral municipalities at the micro-regional level show favourable rates. There have been improvements in the capital values in some peripheral municipalities due to the immigration of counter-urbanites and entrepreneurs in tourism, the opening of the border with Bavaria, and the stabilization of local communities.
