Social Discourses on Path and Trails in Andalusia (Spain). Revaluation of Rural Heritage, Conflict and Governance
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to analyse a complex social process affecting road heritage in rural Andalusia. The urban population demands the enhancement of this heritage for tourism, sports and recreational use, but part of it has been abandoned or usurped. In order to study this reality, qualitative research has been carried out to elucidate the social positions with respect to this heritage. The results show the social attribution of environmental, cultural and economic value to this heritage, but also numerous conflicts between rural and urban populations. The findings of the project can help to guide public policies and the governance of road heritage.
