“Exploring the rural-urban continuum”: Methodological framework to define Functional Rural Areas and rural transitions. D1.1 (RUSTIK)


This report responds to the needs set out in Task 1.1 of the RUSTIK (Rural Sustainability Transitions through Integration of Knowledge for improved policy processes) project:

  • Critical review of rural change and rural area definitions
  • Identification of the concept of Functional Rural Area and the differences/similarities with the current definitions of rural areas at the European level (including EU and non-EU countries). This implies analysing the functional characteristics of rural areas, their importance in the different contexts and interlinkages between urban and rural areas based on these characteristics
  • Analysis of the different transition processes and their effects on rural areas
  • Definition of a general typology of rural diversity
