“…El capital natural y la calidad del medio ambiente pueden tener una influencia directa en los procesos de desarrollo rural (Courtney et al, 2006;Hoggart et al, 1995). En este ámbito se incluyen factores como los recursos naturales disponibles, la periferia y el carácter remoto, el paisajismo, la contaminación o el impacto potencial del cambio climático (Agarwal et al, 2009).…”

Recibido en julio 2013. Aceptado en enero 2014. RESUMEN:Este trabajo pretende identificar, en el contexto actual de crisis económica, los factores asociados a la resiliencia territorial en el medio rural andaluz. Para ello se ha diseñado una metodología que, aplicada en dos períodos de tiempo (2000-2008 y 2008-2012), permite, por una parte, y mediante un enfoque Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), identificar territorios que han experimentado procesos de cambio resilientes, y por otra determinar la influencia que un amplio rango de factores territoriales tienen sobre dicha resiliencia. Los resultados alcanzados pueden proporcionar información útil para el diseño de políticas que permitan una mejor respuesta de los territorios rurales frente a la crisis.

Rural areas of Andalusia facing economic downturn: Analyzing territorial resilience factorsABSTRACT: This paper aims to identify, in the current context of economic downturn, the factors associated with territorial resilience in rural areas of Andalusia. In order to do so, we have designed a methodology that, applied in two time periods (2000-2008 and 2008-2012), identifies territories that have undergone resilient processes of change using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The selected approach determines the influence that a wide range of territorial factors have on the aforementioned resilience. The result obtained could provide useful information for the design of policies allowing rural territories to respond more favorably to economic pressures.

“…The potential to generate territorial advantages comes from a suitable preservation, use and management of these territorial assets. Likewise, the capacity to embrace different activities directly engaged in the environment or in its management -denoted by Courtney et al (2006), the core activities and dependent activities -must be highlighted. Nine geomorphological sites comprise the focal settings for planning development strategies in the Larouco Mountain and the surrounding rural lands.…”

“…The perception of rural development has undergone considerable changes in the past 30 years, and it has become a multi-dimensional issue [2]. Academicians have paid a great deal of attention to the importance of natural resources, environmental dimensions of rural development and economic dimensions [6][7][8][9][10]. Meanwhile, a growing number of studies have found that the economic development level in those rural areas, especially in districts close to cities with highly liberalized economies [11], is higher than that of remote rural areas.…”

Although the regional differences of rural economic development can be easily determined, a challenging problem for research studies regarding rural economic development has been the inter-relatedness between different areas, and this challenge has been noted remarkably little in research data to date. As an empirical investigation, this study analyzes the spatio-temporal characteristics of rural economic development from a period beginning in 1978 to the year 2012, in the eastern coastal region of China. In order to determine the special differentiation characteristics of rural economic development, three indexes, namely the Gini coefficient (G), Tsui-Wang index (TW) and Theil index (T), were employed. To explore the inter-relatedness among the different areas, we selected a spatial autocorrelation model. The results indicated that, to a large extent, rural economic development from 1978 to 2012 in the eastern coastal region of China was greatly influenced, and the per capita annual net income changed significantly, due to the process of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Generally speaking, the annual net income constantly increased, from 87.7 USD in 1978 to 1628.1 USD in 2012. However, the calculation results indicated that the per capita income gap in the same province decreased, while the gap between the provinces presented an aggregate trend. The regional polarization widened continuously. It was also found that the spatial positive autocorrelation for the regional economy was significant, with a waving and ascending trend, and the neighbor effect of regional economic growth was continuously strengthened. Qualitative analysis of the driving mechanism was applied, and it was determined that there are three primary factors affecting the development of the rural regions, namely resource endowments, economic location and policies.
