Opis: The doctoral dissertation examines juvenile delinquency patterns in rural and urban environments and seeks to develop and test an Integrated Risk Factor Model of delinquency. The theoretical section discusses the challenging period of adolescence and the emergence of delinquent behavior as normative behavior. It then describes the concepts of juvenile criminality and delinquency, concentrating on specific problematic forms of delinquency and highlighting the importance of studying juvenile delinquency through both official crime statistics and self-report and victimization studies. The dissertation emphasizes the significance of environments and delinquency in urban and rural communities. This is followed by an overview of official statistics on juvenile crime and crime in both urban and rural environments, along with a presentation of key findings from studies on delinquency, victimization, and youth violence in Slovenia since its independence. Special attention is given to findings from the second international study on self-reported juvenile delinquency and victimization (ISRD2). The dissertation then discusses risk and protective factors crucial for studying and understanding delinquency. Finally, the theoretical section examines various criminological theories, focusing particularly on well-known integrated theories, and develops a new Integrated Risk Factor Model of delinquency, which is subsequently tested. The empirical section of the dissertation tests the hypotheses and answers the following research questions: 1) What are the prevalence rates of self-reported juvenile delinquency in rural and urban areas in Slovenia? 2) Is there a correlation between socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, immigration status, socioeconomic status, and religion) and involvement in juvenile delinquency? and (3) Can an Integrated Risk Factor Model explain delinquency in rural and urban environments equally well? A series of bivariate and multivariate analyses are performed using data from the 4th international study on self-reported juvenile delinquency and victimization (ISRD4), conducted between October 2022 and March 2023, which involved 2,653 juveniles aged 13–17 from urban and rural environments. The results reveal variations in the prevalence and most common types of juvenile delinquency between urban and rural areas. It shows that delinquency is not solely a product of urban environments. Context-specific differences in demographic factors and risk factors are observed. The findings show that in rural environments, fewer risk factors influence delinquency. Still, these factors have a stronger impact, while delinquency among urban juveniles arises from a broader range of risk factors. This section also tests the Integrated Risk Factor Model. The model is structured around the relationship of delinquency to three broad concepts: 1) Crime Propensity (moral values and self-control); 2) Strain (Family (family bond, parental supervision, and adverse childhood experiences); school (school bond and school crime); and peers (delinquent friends and victimization)); and 3) Involvement (time spent in public places, at parties, and with family). The final Integrated Risk Factor Model successfully explains a significant portion of delinquency. However, the tailored model for urban and rural environments explains a slightly larger proportion of delinquency than the general model. In the final section, three Integrated Risk Factor Models are presented: the general Integrated Risk Factor Model, the Urban Risk Factor Model, and the Rural Risk Factor Model. The conclusion addresses the implications of the findings for the hypotheses and research questions and provides suggestions for further work as well as recommendations for policy and practice.

Opis: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of wine tourism on well-being. Wine tourism includes many activities, and not only wine tastings, perhaps paired with food tastings. It includes hiking and biking in the vineyards, reading literature on wine (fiction and non-fiction), attending seminars and conferences on wine, getting acquainted with new landscapes and socializing with others. Another issue relates to whether wine, particularly red wine, confers additional health benefits. Within the Mediterranean diet, wine seems to be an essential component. The starting point for wine and health studies was the “French Paradox”, which suggests that consuming red wine daily not only helps the cardiovascular system, but also increases lifespan due to the resveratrol found in the skins and tannins of red grapes. Recent evidence suggests that wine consumption is correlated with less stress and prevention of the development of certain cancers.

Opis: This paper explains the impact of fish farms on the development of rural areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fishing in Bosnia and Herzegovina was recognized as an opportunity for industrial production, tourism and placing high quality healthy food on market as well as rural development and the possibility of creating new jobs. In terms of agroclimatic conditions, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very favorable geographical, hydrological, climatic and ecological conditions for fish production, which is reflected in the availability of water resources of rivers, lakes and marine fish farms. In Bosnia and Herzegovina there are 41 registered fish farms of freshwater and saltwater fish and it is estimated that there are about twenty unregulated fish farms. With the available resources, the existance of tradition in production, decades of existance of lake fish ponds and dynamic development of production in cages classify fish farming as a significant branch of economy, which ensures it in the domestic market, but also on the markets of neighboring countries, the European Union.

Opis: The article focuses on neoendogenous rural development that enables development of endogenous potentials of rural areas (human, social, economic, environmental etc. as development resources of the local territorial level) and external resources (i. e. RD programmes on national and EU level). Four Slovenian case study areas were chosen to test the existence, functioning and outcomes of economic cycles. The survey was undertaken on the smallest spatial-social unit (household), additionally existing voluntary local network (associations) and locally and widely connected economic structures (entrepreneurship) were observed. The research partly confirmed that the activation of endogenous potentials of rural areas is evident through the empowerment of (regional) economic cycles.

Opis: This article focuses on the analysis of the distribution, characteristics and effects of large businesses in Poland located in rural areas outside the reach of the largest urban centres. The first part of this paper presents the distribution and characteristics of companies in which the level of employment reaches a minimum of 200 people located in non-metropolitan rural areas in Poland. The second part contains an analysis of the level of socio-economic development of rural communes, in which enterprises included in the study are located, against the background of all non-metropolitan communes. The last part presents selected aspects of the impact of large economic operators on the local environment using the example of a company with its headquarters in a rural, agricultural area.
