Resumo(s)

This chapter extends the analysis of urban-rural relationships by the use of case studies. Through these studies more detailed information on processes and relevant policy initiatives are presented which complements the analysis undertaken at NUTS3 level. As urban-rural relations do not coincide with administrative boundary systems, analyses based on datasets organised according to such systems can only provide limited insights into the processes underlying and shaping urban-rural relationships. The case studies are representative of the different categories identified in the typology of urban-rural characteristics (presented in Chapter 3) and they address three different themes: · socio-economic diversification, · territorial interdependence and · land use profitability. The first two deal mainly with functional relations while the third deals primarily with structural and power relations. Table 4.1 summarises the location of each case study in a matrix based on the area types and the three themes. The findings of the two first case study themes are presented in the subchapters 4.1 and 4.2 – and summarized in 4.3. The questions of land-use profitability and urban sprawl are dealt with in Chapter 5. The case studies were prepared by project partners and some subcontractors, as well as by the two observing partners1. The case studies can be accessed at the website2 of the project. Some key features of the cases are presented in Annex 7. The case studies undertaken for this project build on the research undertaken for the Study Programme on European Spatial Planning (SPESP)3. The final report from the SPESP project identified several dimensions of economic, socio-cultural and political transitions which were considered to be underpinning changes in contemporary urbanrural relationships. These are summarised in Table 4.2.[...]
