15 years of implementation of rural development programmes. Social and territorial inequalities in the province of Granada

Abstract

Initiatives LEADER I, II and +, as well as PRODER I and II Programs have produced benefits in rural zones were they have been developed, for instance the province of Granada. Nevertheless, there have been other undesirable effects derived from them such as investment territorial distribution, which has favoured the most dynamics councils, or the limited role in marginal collective, among others. This general trend in the 25 years evolution have several shades between the different periods. As a consequence territorial and social disparities have been remarked favouring regional center and the most active municipalities thus restricting the access to these aids of peripheral towns which continue suffering drift from the land.
