Objective
This proposal addresses Area 4.6 of the call (Rural Development), in particular Area 4.6.4 focusing on the analysis of the impact of different Community policies on the situation and development of rural areas, and also Area 4.6.3 concerning the constraints on the development of new economic activities in vulnerable rural areas. It involves the development of methodologies concerning the identification and assessment of conflicts and tensions which exist between Community environmental policies affecting transport activities, and the policies for rural development. It uses study areas from five participating countries; Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Greece and the UK.
The objectives of the proposed Concerted Action are to develop research methodologies which will allow the following to be carried out:
(a) Identification of polices at Community and member states levels, present an planned, and particularly new environmental polices, which affect the economic costs of transport activities, vulnerable rural areas of selected member states, and thus the mobility of people and goods both internally and externally with respect to rural areas.
(b) Identification of policies at Community and member state levels, present and planned, for rural development in which the mobility and access of people and goods, both internally and externally, is a significant factor.
(c) Assessment of the implications for rural development policy of conflicts between these policy areas.
(d) Reflections on the directions in which environmental policy might be modified to allow rural development policies to have maximum effect.
The proposed Concerted Action is important for the development of policy in the environmental and rural fields. Methodologies which allow the recognition of tensions between policies in these fields will facilitate the more effective evolution of policies designed to achieve rural development, as well as policies designed to meet the Community's environmental commitments.
