| Interreg IIIB MEDOCC Project "Rural Med – Permanent table of discussion and network of centres for the development of rural areas" Years 2003 – 2004 |
The project promotes the creation of RURAL-MED, a network for the exchange of experiences and specific initiatives concerning the rural development. Regions from the North (French, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and the South (Algeria, Morocco) of the Mediterranean Sea are involved.
The network should promote and optimize the rural development processes in the West Mediterranean Area thanks to a continuous exchange of experiences and best practices, the implementation of vocational training and information program as well as the realisation of common actions.
RURAL-MED should be a “network of network”, with the aim of the integration under a unique net of the overall landscape of the rural development organizations already existent in the area at regional, national and international level.
RURAL-MED is founded on three main elements:
| • |
The territorial centres (each participating region has a territorial centre provided with human and technical resources that is present at various level of the general net) |
| • |
The general themes (fields of sectional and permanent cooperation in which each region can develop a different specific aspect with different actions (studies, experience exchange, training and information activities..)
They are:
a) Rural development opportunity – Andalusia coordination (Spain)
b) The heritage as rural development element – Algarve Region coordination (Portugal)
c) Eco-friendly agriculture, the quality products and the guarantee of origin in the Mediterranean area – Valencia Region coordination (Spain) |
| • |
Virtual Community RURAL MED WEB. A web site will show the overall project activities. It will be a channel of communication among the elements of the network and a useful tools to spread the project results. The web site will offer the services as follows: virtual library, discussion tables, information, documents and databases. |
Rural heritage and landscape safeguard
The “Società Consortile Langhe Monferrato Roero” is engaged, inside the theme “heritage”, for the territorial animation development and for the rural landscape safeguard of the South Piedmont. The landscape is in fact one of the most important elements of the rural landscape since it is composed of the human activities together with the natural environment and it witnesses our social, historical and cultural roots.
In the area of Langhe and Roero there are lots of different multicoloured kind of cultivation. nevertheless a special attention is to give to the woods and the vineyards that are mainly sharing the sweets slopes of the hills according to their different exposition to the sun.
In such areas, the landscape has a very important economical function, linked to the quality product production and to the rural tourism. The study of the territory involves as well the study of the housing and the cultivations characterizing the area: often the construction of industrial buildings enters the rural areas without a proper planning with heavy consequences on the overall landscape.
In order to safeguard the landscape from such actions, it is necessary to promote a study on building typologies with a low landscape impact. On this theme on 16 and 17 February 2004 an international meeting has been carried out in Piedmont, in order to find out new models for the landscape planning and safeguard and to focus the elements that better underline the socio-historical importance of the territory, and the heritage of castles of the Piedmont is a model for this.
