Abstract: It is true that the individual dimension is definitely a key element in business creation but the territory seems to be at the heart of entrepreneurship through the local availability of production factors (human and material capital), the type of local demand and the institutional regulation.Based on more than a hundred surveys conducted in the Haut-Languedoc and Luberon Natural Regional Parks, it appeared that the availability of raw materials at local level still has a significant but declining role.The features of human capital on which the institutional i regulation can act is -aside from the closeness of the markets -a major factor accounting for the amount of business creation in the studied areas.
