“…Como lo primordial de este trabajo se dilucida para un ámbito rural y lo que se pretende es relacionarlo con esa idea de territorio en el que sus habitantes están vinculados a una funcionalidad agrosilvopastoril (Iglesias et al 2011), se advierte que el concepto de rural y, por extensión, de ruralidad entrañan ciertas discusiones entre quienes se dedican al estudio de este tipo de espacios y de sus ocupaciones y que tampoco encuentra consenso entre distintas administraciones, ya sean nacionales o del ámbito europeo e internacional en general. Es decir, caracterizar lo rural y la ruralidad es una cuestión que no solo se plantea en España, sino que, como apunta Poulot (2015), suscita tantos debates y controversias que los estudios rurales se convierten en algo difícil de mantener, todo ello a pesar de la importancia que para disciplinas como la Sociología o la Geografía Rural han alcanzado desde los años ochenta. Así se refiere Romero (2012) apuntando que estos debates han obligado a introducir el concepto de «nueva ruralidad» porque, efectivamente, la evolución del mundo rural ha obligado a descubrir elementos de mayor o menor emergencia y redescubrir fenómenos de magnitud importante, que quedaron encubiertos por la anterior visión extremadamente agraria de estos espacios.…”

El municipio de Torre Pacheco ha conocido una significativa evolución en las últimas décadas, tanto desde el punto de vista territorial como socioeconómico. El principal objetivo de esta aportación es comprobar qué tipo de actuaciones han contribuido a modificar la tendencia de declive que compartía con otros espacios rurales. Junto al estudio de caso, se ha recurrido a una metodología no experimental, exploratoria y descriptiva de tipo cualitativo, sin renunciar al soporte de las estadísticas necesarias que cuantifiquen y apoyen determinados aspectos. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de relieve los beneficios alcanzados en Torre Pacheco mediante el incremento de su disponibilidad hídrica, a partir de la aplicación de estrategias de planificación llevadas a cabo con un horizonte temporal de largo plazo.Abstract The municipality of Torre Pacheco has undergone a significant evolution in recent decades, both from the territorial and socioeconomic point of view. The main objective of this contribution is to verify what type of actions has contributed to modifying the trend of decline that it shared with other rural areas.Along with the case study, a non-experimental, exploratory and descriptive methodology of a qualitative type has been used, without renouncing the support of the necessary statistics that quantify and support certain aspects. The results obtained highlight the benefits achieved in Torre Pacheco by increasing its water availability, through the application of planning strategies carried out with a long-term time horizon.

“…This remaining connexion with big cities and foreign countries participates in the redefinition of the frontiers between urbanity and rurality. On one hand, they embody the "landscape idyll and desire to live in "human-size" units with associated social practices, meaning the friendliness attributed to small communities because of generalised mutual acquaintance" that Poulot (2015) labelled "urban ruralisation". But on the other hand, they also participate to a soft rural urbanisation by importing urban lifestyles, practices and references in the countryside.…”

Originally associated to big cities' centres, coworking spaces and «third-places» have been blooming in rural regions and small towns over the past five years. The development of those places has been critically supported by local and national authorities, with a growing interest from rural localities. Indeed, those places are supposed to provide answers to numerous contemporary territorial challenges, and to tackle several dimensions or rural vulnerability. They are supposed to enhance sustainability by reducing the need to commute and car-dependence, by bringing both workplaces and services closer from home. They are also mobilised to tackle the issue of the digital gap between centres and peripheries, providing digital infrastructures and hardware. Finally, they are supposed to reduce territorial inequalities by strenghtening rural entrepreneurship, safeguarding local jobs, facilitating professional retraining and attract new residents by providing an easier access to telework. Conducted between 2018 and 2020 in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, our study provides some elements to evaluate the effects of those places on territorial vulnerability and marginality. Based on the study of 17 coworking spaces situated in rural areas, their funders’ trajectories and their users’ profiles, we discuss the motives and the expected returns of those places, and their actual potentialities and limits. We first present the definitions of coworking spaces and third-places, the origin of their recent spread in the rural areas and the main features of their geographical locations. Then, we present the rationales behind the creation and attendance to those places, by analysing funders and users’ trajectories and motives. We then present the potentialities and limits of third-places on territorial vulnerability. In the discussion, we interrogate the notion of marginality at the light of those places, that can be defined essentially as spatial and social networks. Indeed, our study enlights the diversity of lifestyles in the rural areas. Coworkers display particular spatial anchorages, with local resources being valued, though combined with forms of plural and multilocalized belongings. Their relationship with the margin is chosen, controlled and reversible, sometimes even yearned for. Their connectedness is not so much defined by where they live rather than by who they know, embodying the predominantly social dimension of marginality.
