“…The first two are common to all rural areas, whereas the third particularly affects the most disadvantaged areas. However, it is also true that deagrarianisation (Camarero Rioja, 2009, Collantes, 2007a, 2007b and the simultaneous shift towards the service economy in present-day rural economies and societies has not led to the disappearance of the rural space but instead has given rise to new and multiple forms of rurality 2 (Sorokin & Zimmerman, 1929;Hoggart, 1995Hoggart, , 2001aHoggart, , 2001bRatier, 2002;Ballas, et al, 2004;Woods, 2005;Cloke, 1977Cloke, , 2006Waldorf, 2006;Jornad, 2009;Rieutort, 2012;Berdegué & Proctor, 2014;Rauch, 2014;Goerlich, 2016).…”

Depopulation Processes in European Rural Areas: A Case Study of Cantabria (Spain)

Europe witnessed massive migration away from rural areas throughout the 20th century. Spain was no exception to the rule, albeit with differences in timing and pace, and the population in Cantabria constitutes a paradigmatic case. Here, the rural exodus began early – before the mid-20th century – in some mountainous districts, but reached a peak in the 1960s and continued throughout the following decades. Since the 1990s, population levels in rural municipalities have fallen at a slower rate, while the population of the region as a whole has increased slightly. Disturbingly, the rural population has continued to decline in the early 21st century, in an overall context of almost zero population growth. The demographic trends analyzed here are not only different in time, but also in space. With the partial exception of regional capitals and their neighbouring communities, municipalities in mountain districts have witnessed such a substantial decline in their populations that they have experienced a genuine process of depopulation. This case does not explain the all-similar cases in rural Europe as a whole, but it can help in interpreting other comparable processes in different regions of southern Europe where depopulation reached its maximum in the second half of the 20th century and still continues today.

“…at the age of 11-15 years (Straková and Simonová 2015). This was confirmed by Rieutort (2012) with a focus on the mutual competition of rural and urban schools, and Gueneau (2011) who highlighted changes in parental preferences that affect the existence of rural schools and the mobility of children regarding education.…”

This paper assessed the importance of primary school development in relation to community life, availability of funding, and attractiveness of rural municipalities in the suburban, intermediate and peripheral countryside of the Czech Republic. The importance of primary schools was analysed based on empirical research of the mayors of small municipalities in regions at the NUTS 3 level, i.e. suburban countryside in a large metropolitan area (the Central Bohemia Region), intermediate – stabilised rural region with a low population density (the South Bohemia Region) and predominantly rural region, internal periphery (the Vysocina Region). The results are discussed in three main themes: (1) general importance of schools for municipal development, (2) factors for school maintenance/absence in the village, and (3) development problems of municipalities in particular types of rural regions. Generally, the study findings prove the above division depending on whether there is a school within the municipality, with disparities with different types of rural areas not significant. Representatives of rural municipalities with a school confirmed that that the school is an important element in terms of community life and the attractiveness of the municipality for current and future residents, whereas in municipalities without schools, the necessary institutional memory to assess the importance and potential of a school was missing. Therefore, schools are only perceived as a provider of education without the possibility to positively influence the life within the municipality. This approach to understanding primary schools in conjunction with trends in rural outmigration in distant rural municipalities enhances the vicious circle of socio-economic shrinkage.

“…Nevertheless, an effort to control phenomena related to suburbanisation is vital to protect the cultural identity and environmental values, and to create proper functional, spatial, and social structures [12,61]. In the European Union, the developed rural area grew, while the rural population decreased in the period from 1960 to 2010 [85]. Studies on French metropolitan areas from 1990 to 1999 demonstrated that processes related to suburbanisation, and particularly residential developments, social segregation [86].…”

Urban Features in Rural Landscape: A Case Study of the Municipality of Skawina

Events associated with growing suburbanisation and transport infrastructure lead to changes in the use of rural land reaching further and further from the central city. The present research focuses on the impact of the location of the municipality of Skawina and the functioning of its rural areas in the impact zone of Kraków. The first step to determine the transformations in the municipality of Skawina caused by the growth of Kraków and its suburban zone was to investigate the internal conditions in the municipality, such as its spatial development or functional structure, and external conditions such as its demographic transformations. Next, the development of the settlement structure in recent years and land management changes were investigated. The paper focuses on the introduction of typical urban features and functions into rural areas to identify the transformations and their dynamics. The status of the space was diagnosed by interpreting the map documentation for the administrative boundaries of the municipality of Skawina, regarding the presentation of the spatial development in 2006 and in 2014 to 2016, by verifying the existing planning documentation, and by visiting the site. The conclusions can be the basis for guidelines to protect the traditional rural and cultural landscape near Kraków.
