Tertiary Sector Activities and Rural Dynamics
Chevalier, Pascal
Tertiary Sector Activities and Rural Dynamics - 2005.
2
The tertiary sector activities have gone through important development in rural areas and are most often the main source of job creation. Generally speaking, this growth is the result of a locally induced endogenous process. In other words, these activities are created by the residential and tourist population dynamics, itself the result of a substantial population growth in rural communities. However, some of these activities also produce services instead satisfying the needs of non-regional markets. The phenomenon of induction, long advocated by traditional economic theories, is no longer pertinent to characterize these services, whose active roles in territorial development are today recognized by many authors. Indeed, the constant development of the tertiary sector in rural areas plays a key role in rural demographic and socio-economic dynamics. The goal of this paper is to relate this inversion of rural trajectories to the dynamics of the tertiary sector, and to examine the new relationship between these activities and rural development. In fact, services contribute to a sort of enrichment of rural areas and are at the origin of local development processes.
