“…Una migración urbano-rural en busca de una mayor calidad de vida y de la realización del propio self a través de un nuevo estilo de vida, a menudo, aspiracional (lifestyle migration) (Benson y O'Reilly, 2009;Benson y Osbaldiston, 2016). Finalmente, hay que destacar también aquellos trabajos que analizan determinadas migraciones urbano-rurales como una estrategia de resiliencia ante una situación de crisis (Gkartzios, 2013;Ebbreo, 2019;Figueiredo, Partalidou y Stavriani, 2019;Oliva y Rivera, 2019).…”

“…La pérdida del empleo, la carestía de la vida y el miedo a no poder reengancharse al mercado laboral, entre otras, representan puntos de inflexión inevitables. Es, por tanto, una migración que comparte elementos con la observada en otros lugares y que también ha sido relacionada con el impacto de la crisis en países como Grecia, Italia y Portugal (Gkartzios, 2013;Ebbreo, 2019;Figueiredo, Partalidou y Stavriani, 2019).…”

Las áreas rurales remotas en proceso de decrecimiento poblacional son altamente vulnerables y sensibles a los movimientos poblacionales, tanto a la salida como a la llegada de nueva población que engrose las cifras de la población local. El artículo explora el impacto que tuvo la crisis del 2008 en las migraciones prorrurales que se dirigían hacia este tipo de áreas rurales. Para ello se analiza el caso de la comarca de Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia, en Salamanca. El trabajo de campo, de naturaleza cualitativa, consiste en una serie de entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes clave y nuevos residentes. El análisis permite observar el impacto de la crisis en un doble sentido: una migración forzada por la crisis como último recurso de supervivencia y una migración vinculada a aspiraciones de tipo medioambiental que encuentra en la crisis el impulso para poner en marcha un deseo que permanecía en estado latente.

“…Such factors are nature, beauty, community space, parenting, tranquillity and vital regeneration (e.g., Halfacree, 1997); the relevance of the middle classes as a major actor in the story and, closely related, a new process of rural gentrification (Phillips, 1993, 2010), and the complex coexistence of a diversity of drivers and profiles of new residents (Rivera, 2004, 2007a). Ultimately, the story of counterurbanisation has also provided us with its crisis‐related processes, in which the difficulties of surviving the economic crisis in the city have motivated some people to move to rural areas (e.g., Ebbreo, 2019; Figueiredo et al, 2019; Gkartzios, 2013; Oliva & Rivera, 2019).…”

European peri‐urban areas keep growing in terms of land, population and socio‐spatial complexity. This article looks at the role of new residents in the ongoing reconfiguration of peri‐urban space, by focusing on how their narratives make sense of their residential choices and experiences. The analysis is based on the case of the peri‐urban area of Pamplona, an intermediate city in northern Spain surrounded by a peri‐urban space characterised by a disperse habitat of single and collective rural‐like settlements in a clear process of population growth. The discussion is grounded in a series of semi‐structured interviews conducted with key informants and new residents. The results reinforce the relevance of the residential lure of these territories as well as of the housing policies adopted. They also show three key elements to understand better the complexity and internal heterogeneity of this process: the different motivations supporting the residential choice; the links established with the place and its population and the experiences within the territory. Finally, the article concludes by suggesting that the different profiles of the new residents and their different orientations regarding the way of residing and experiencing the residence generate different territorialities through which they form new and coexisting ruralities, as well as a hybrid identity construction with the place.
