Hacia un desarrollo Smart en las regiones rurales despobladas de Europa: análisis de las convocatorias Smart Rural 21 y 27 (España)
Abstract
In the quest for innovative and “smart” rural development in Europe, driven by goals like digital, green, and social transition, pilot calls Smart Rural 21 and 27 have been launched. These recently implemented initiatives are under European evaluation, with a specific focus on Spain. The research employs the logical framework methodology, drawing from official websites of both calls. A problem tree analysis is conducted to understand the causes and consequences of rural depopulation in Europe, forming the basis for a tree of intelligent and sustainable solutions proposed in Smart Rural 21 and 27 pilot territories. The initial hypothesis aims to validate European objectives in reducing economic, social, and environmental impact in depopulated rural areas. Technological and organizational innovation, linked to sustainability, guides the path towards intelligent and sustainable territorial development in European rural spaces. The success of these calls will determine the new ‘smart’ approach to rural development in Europe. The article aims to disseminate and analyse these calls, along with Spain’s involvement.
