Rural areas


Project code: TI-LR-08-PID404
Contract period: 01.01.2014 - 30.04.2014
Purpose of research: Public relations

Supply facilities have closed down in rural areas. More and more local politicians, representatives of rural development, and citizens are dealing with the question of  how they can sustain a provision within walking distance in the long run. The handbook should present the current state of research and provide recommendations for these groups.

Since the 1990s, scientists and practitioners have been discussing alternative supply concepts as a solution for villages and they have established these facilities. The research project "Local supply in rural areas" evaluated respective facilities. The final report, however, consists of about 300 pages and the practically relevant information is scattered over the whole report.  It is hardly feasible for practitioners who would like to run, establish or fund facilities of local supply.  Thus, the project aims to summarize the relevant information and prepare it for practical use.
