Closeness is not accessibility: Isolation and depopulated rural areas in the proximity of metropolitan urban areas, a case-study in inland Spain

The increase of accessibility is one of the most important strategies to achieve territorial cohesion and slow down depopulation processes in rural areas.

Accessibility is a wide concept with a range of interpretations.

This study proposes an accessibility analysis based on connection and function of one of the most depopulated territories in inland Spain: the province of Guadalajara (NUTS-3) which constitutes an interesting case-study because its proximity to the Spanish capital city (Madrid) and the integration of part of the province on its dynamics and economic processes.

La accesibilidad es un concepto amplio con una amplia gama de interpretaciones. Cuando se trata de zonas rurales, las medidas habituales de accesibilidad que introducen proximidad y facilidad de conexión física pueden conducir a interpretaciones erróneas que no siempre responden con la realidad. Este estudio propone un análisis de accesibilidad basado en la conexión y función de uno de los territorios más despoblados del interior de España: la provincia de Guadalajara (NUTS-3), que constituye un interesante caso de estudio por su proximidad a la capital española (Madrid) y la integración de parte de la provincia en sus dinámicas y procesos económicos. Los resultados muestran diferentes niveles de accesibilidad rural que pueden ser útiles para el diseño de políticas públicas y la toma de decisiones sobre infraestructuras. Además, el modelo de accesibilidad sugerido puede aplicarse en otras zonas rurales despobladas de Europa.Sciendo202420242021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.2478/euco-2021-0025https://hdl.handle.net/10578/39095reponame:RUIdeRA.
