Nuevos usos residenciai.es en el espacio rural de castilla y León

Abstract

Today the settlement of Castilla y León, old and dense, is dysfunctional. Productive changes since the mid XX century have led to depopulation and a disharmony between the number of people living in rural areas and the number of villages. Many of these, at risk of disappearing, are maintained thanks to the renovation of houses and the construction of others. This is due, on one hand, to new settlers, few in number, but with large qualitative value, and, on the other hand, to the massive arrival of temporary residents, who, without appearing in the statistics, provide economic and social life, and are the key to the maintenance of villages, against demographic and permanent recession, characteristic of the rural areas of Castilla y León.
