| Popis: | Special session: Smart rural development and beyond; Rural areas are generally considered as less innovative because of their limited agglomeration of activities. There has been little research on innovation in rural areas, whereas they host many environmental innovation projects. In this study we propose an analytical framework to examine the role of internal organizational factors and environmental factors (sectoral, spatial, and regulatory) that influence the development of eco-innovation projects. We tested this framework by using an original method: the Quantified Narrative Method (QNM), applied to seven cases studies in French rural areas conducted in the framework of the TASTE project and afterwards. Based on in-depth interviews, this method enabled the identification of external resources (nature, mode of acquisition, and location) used by the project. The results show the importance of personal networks – especially local professional networks - and projects’ leaders to strengthen the project’s absorption capacity (mobilisation of specific local factors, development of related activities). While local resources remain crucial for these projects, remote resources are increasingly mobilised along the projects’ path. |
