The Place and Functions of Farming in Peri-Urban Mountain Areas: Lifestyles and Perceptions of Rurality
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2006.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The social values (such as 'back to nature'?) accompanying peri-urban development in the alpine corridor have the farming community wondering about their changing place and functions in local societies. With a view to responding to that concern, a survey of local residents was conducted and four resident profiles defined. These reflect a variety of perceptions of the living environment and farming. Alliances between farmers and residents are possible, but they require a shared view of local development issues. How can the farming community position itself when it no longer plays a central role in peri-urban areas or even in residents' understanding of what is rural?
