New Rural Geographies in Europe
This edited volume is the sixth publication of the series "Rural areas: Issues of local and regional development". It aims at intensifying scholarly exchange on topical questions of social, political, economic and landscape-related transformations of rural areas in Germany and Europe. Europe is a meaningful frame and research topic for rural geography. This edited volume assembles 14 contributions from various countries that shed light on the variety, as well as the differences and commonalities of rural regions in Europe. The volume aims at initiating general reflections about common development mechanisms and structures in the European context in contrast with specific national conditions and path dependencies. By assembling both regional and country case studies as well as cross-national comparisons, the anthology provides a sound basis for future European research in rural geography. It pleads for more cross-national and comparative approaches.
European rural peripheries revalued
This volume provides an overview of research on seemingly, current and former peripheral areas and on processes of peripheralisation in Europe. Particular emphasis is given to questions of local and regional governance, to multiple actors of peripheralisation and residential revitalisation as well as to economic and ecological transformations. --
Cities and Metropolises in France and Germany
In both countries, France and Germany, there is great pressure to change and adapt towards new forms of urbanity and to conceive new strategic approaches with limited public finance and a need for economic efficiency. Not all types of urban areas are equally affected by these issues. The book aims to do justice to this situation, considering in both cases the context of the national urban systems. As it proved impossible to address all the topics relevant to the spatial development of urban and rural areas, the authors decided to concentrate on a number of important topical themes which are undoubtedly relevant in both countries, albeit in different ways, and which could be significant for a...
Processes of Immigration in Rural Europe
Contemporary immigration processes, such as forced migration and labour-induced mobility, as well as lifestyle and leisure-oriented movements, increasingly affect areas in Europe that are considered as peripheral or rural. This edited collection sheds light on the diversity of in-migration, its specific implications for development and strategies for coping. Contributions from various sub-disciplines of the social sciences, including human and cultural geography, sociology and spatial planning with different regional foci, encourage theoretical discussions, enhancing empirical knowledge and providing stimuli for practitioners involved in migration and development issues. The structure of the volume therefore follows four main themes: (1) conceptual reflections on immigration to peripheral rural areas and development prospects; (2) patterns and types of immigration processes, drawing on various case studies from all over Europe; (3) realms of integration: namely, housing, economy and social life; (4) immigration management with a special emphasis on regional and local strategies, undertaken by policy-makers, the private sector and civil society.

Die Gesundheitsregion als zukunftsfähiges Konzept für ländliche Räume
Die Aufrechterhaltung regionaler Versorgung mit medizinischen Dienstleistungen stellt in vielen ländlichen Regionen, die vom demographischen Wandel betroffen sind, eine Herausforderung in Gegenwart und Zukunft dar. Regionale Governance-Konzepte greifen mehr und mehr auch Themen der öffentlichen Gesundheitsversorgung auf. Regionale Entwicklungsprozesse erhalten durch erweiterte Akteurs-Netzwerke, an denen u.;a. auch Akteure des Gesundheitswesens beteiligt sind, neue Impulse. Ausgehend von einer Vielzahl innovativer Modellprojekte mit Fokus auf regionalen Entwicklungsprozessen widmet sich der vorliegende Band dem Konzept der Gesundheitsregionen.
Im Ruhestand aufs Land?
In Österreich können zunehmend Senioren beobachtet werden, welche in ländliche Regionen zuziehen. Während junge Menschen im Allgemeinen aus peripheren Regionen abwandern, zeigt sich die ländliche Idylle attraktiv für Personen rund um den Ruhestand. Welche Motive hinter dieser Zuwanderung stehen und welche Bedeutung Ruhestandswanderungen für Gemeinden haben, wird anhand zweier Fallregionen - dem Südburgenland und dem Waldviertel - im Rahmen des Buches in den Fokus gestellt. Es thematisiert, inwiefern die Zuwanderung von Senioren sich als Strategie eignet dem Bevölkerungsrückgang entgegenzuwirken.
