Janálová, Karolína

This diploma thesis presents and analyses the possibilities of promoting sustainable rural development in the Ccapi District, Cusco Region in Peru. The aim of the thesis is to propose a development project which contributes to an increase in economic, environmental and social opportunities for the poor and improvement in standard of living of the local communities with regard to their cultural values. The project is designed in response to the major causes of poverty and environmental degradation in the rural Andean areas of the Ccapi District. Based on results obtained from the literature, field survey, and semi-structured interviews with the local families and authorities, the paper analyses the initial situation and proposes a set of innovations which should be adopted by the vast majority of the residents living in the communities and therefore should contribute to the sustainable rural development. At the end, concrete results of the implemented project are presented and recommendations for further research in the area suggested.
