Abstract :
Entrepreneurship is often recognized as a catalyst in changing and improving the standard of living of community members. Ensuring the community participation in entrepreneurship is deemed necessary for its effectiveness, particularly in projects initiated in the rural areas. However, the level of community s participation in entrepreneurship is rather low. This article aims to identify factors that influence the level of community s participation in order to mark the future direction of entrepreneurship. Other complementary factors that determine these trends in rural areas are also discussed. Through active participation among community members, it is anticipated that rural entrepreneurship will be progressing towards prosperity and success in rural areas.
