complex view, Sobrance district is low attractive for potential investors.
Opportunity of the district is mainly the orientation on inflows from abroad that could
create new job opportunities for people in this region. Current European initiative oriented on
the support of renewable energy resource use, can also create work opportunities. This area is
suitable also for reinforcement of tourism, as the one of the pillar of increasing economic
power of the region. Bio-farms and eco-farms, or reconstruction of the Spa in Sobrance
can be the initial solution. It could allow the growth of the economic opportunities for
inhabitants in the locality.
Threats in this locality can be divided into two areas: threats within its own locality, and
threats from outside. Threats within the district of Sobrance primarily related to the inability
of people to use the potential sources, weak interaction between people and involvement
in public affairs, leaving the people to work abroad, or lack of communication between
the competent authorities and weak innovativeness of firms. Threat that comes from the
external environment is particularly weak interest in investment opportunities in the
region by foreign investors. This relates to the ability of presenting and communicating the
district Sobrance to present its strengths.
The result of analysis – by an assessment of the internal environment (strengths and
weaknesses of the district of Sobrance) and external environment (opportunities and threats),
is the alliance (adjust) strategy. For this district, it is the way to union with the adjacent
districts or cross-border cooperation with Transcarpathian region in Ukraine.
