10.2.4 Aims and significance of an integrated rural development

Integrated rural development in Germany is pursuing the following aims:

  • Safeguarding the functionality of the entire rural area
  • nation-wide land management,
  • preserving a wide scattering of land ownership as an important principle of democracy
  • Slowing down the exodus of the (youth) population from rural regions
  • preventing the sprawling of urban agglomerations,
  • producing a balance between urban and rural regions.
  • Preserving a pastorally influenced cultural and recreational landscape.
  • living, dwelling, working and finding recreation in the countryside as a way of life.
  • Securing of ecologically intact biotopes
  • conservation of water bodies, landscape, species and biotopes,
  • recreational areas for people (resource tourism).
  • Preservation of the social and cultural home (identity) of the rural population
  • That is a strategy, a development concept, a financing concept - and at the same time a mental, ideological concept.
