The Territory, a Container of Local Specificities: Evidence by Analysis of the Local Productive System of Ksar-Hellal
Journal Title: Romanian Review of Regional Studies - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
This article aims to highlight the relevance of the territory in the experience of local development. Indeed, by an application on a Tunisian case, it was shown that the territory of Ksar-Hellal is implicated in the functioning of its local production system, specializing in textile and clothing. It turned out that the Hilalian territory is abundant in specific economic resources such as competition, complementarity, and non-economic such as cooperation, technological externalities and social values. Those resources that are specific to the Hilalian territory are essential to stimulate the local dynamics of the productive system in question.
