The Rural Development Policy in Extremadura (SW Spain): Spatial Location Analysis of Leader Projects

Abstract: Abstract:Since the 1990s, a series of rural development aid programs (LEADER Approach) has been implemented in European rural areas, including Extremadura, in order to solve the demographic, social, and economic problems that rural areas experience. The main objective of these programs is to diversify the economy to reverse these problems. The purpose of this present paper is to study the distribution of the investments committed during the period of 2000-2013 in Extremadura according to the geolocation and to… Show more

“…This paper analyzes its implementation in two rural and border regions of southwest Europe (i.e., Extremadura of Spain and Alentejo of Portugal) during the last programming period (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). These are two areas with the lowest economic development in the EU having a GDP that is 75% below the European average [1,2]. They have mainly agricultural incomes, which generate a low productivity, and have industrial and service sectors, which are weak in terms of economic profitability and very dependent on public administration.…”

“…Este fenómeno ha llevado a algunos autores a caracterizarlo incluso de mecanismo de turistificación del medio rural en lo que se refiere al sobredimensionamiento de la oferta (Cànoves et al, 2006;Ivars Baidal, 2000;Paül, Lazovski & Lois, 2016). Pero no ocurre de forma uniforme en el espacio, pues recientes estudios dedicados a la distribución espacial de LEADER dan cuenta de cómo las mayores inversiones turísticas se relegan a las áreas menos dinámicas demográfica y socioeconómicamente que son también aquellas que menores proyectos de transferencia de conocimiento y cooperación ejecutan; es el caso de Andalucía (Cañete et al, 2018) y de Extremadura (Nieto Masot & Cárdenas Alonso, 2018). De un lado, se confirma así la aplicación diferenciada del método en los territorios, pero de otro, cuestiona la eficacia del modelo de turismo en el medio rural con LEADER al darse en las áreas más vulnerables.…”

“…Contexto de crecimiento del mercado turístico en el medio rural (finales 90 y principios 2000); contexto territorial local favorable por la presencia de recursos o por la larga trayectoria turística (Hernández Hernández, 2008;Nieto Masot & Cárdenas Alonso, 2017;Zasada & Piorr, 2015); contexto político-administrativo descentralizado (Ivars Baidal, 2000;Rosell & Viladomiu, 2012); convencimiento de lo apropiado del turismo como mecanismo de desarrollo neoendógeno (Cànoves et al, 2006;Pitarch & Amandís, 2014;Solsona & López, 2012); disponibilidad de fondos (Esparcia Pérez et al, 2000); contexto territorial demográfica y socioeconómicamente poco dinámico (Cañete et al, 2018;García Marín, 2011;Nieto Masot & Cárdenas Alonso, 2018 tienen lugar transposiciones reglamentarias exactas y obligatorias (con el fin de garantizar una implementación harmoniosa con los principios de la UE), pero, en consonancia con el propio modelo de desarrollo neoendógeno basado fundamentalmente en ideas, actitudes y principios de acción, el margen de maniobra de los Estados miembro y, sobre todo, de los GAL se mantiene amplio. La transferencia de los Planes en Destino está sin duda relacionada con el tipo "soft" pues no existe normativa específica más allá de los convenios programáticos muy amplios en sus objetivos y limitados al reparto de responsabilidades.…”

“…Since the entry of Spain into the EU, and especially in recent decades, various policies and strategies have been designed to alleviate the depopulation process in rural areas such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) [37], the Rural Development Policy [38], or the European Structural and Cohesion Funds. These European aids have been complemented with state economic development plans (for example, agricultural subsidy) as well as regional ones, in order to try to increase employment opportunities and improve living conditions in the rural spaces, preventing young people from leaving their home regions [39,40]. Specifically, the Community Agricultural Policy and agricultural subsidy intend to increase the income of small farmers; the rural development aims to introduce complementary economic activities related to tourism, heritage, and crafts, etc.…”
