Abstract

The depopulation of rural areas is a problem for many European regions, including Sardinia (Italy), where several villages are in danger of disappearing. Different policies are being implemented to strengthen their competitiveness, and this paper aims to highlight the opportunities offered using various strategies. Therefore, the main territorial development projects promoted in Sardinia and the role of tourism in the search to make rural areas more attractive will be analysed. All the data will be treated with the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Research confirms that rural areas, despite being rich in cultural, en-vironmental and historical resources, have been unable to exploit them as well as they could for tourism purposes. However, there are several funds that can be used, and, in the conclusions, some useful considerations are given to make these areas more attractive to tourists and try to halt the demographic decline.

La despoblación de las áreas rurales es un problema para numerosas regiones europeas, incluida Cerdeña (Italia), donde hay varias poblaciones en peligro de desaparecer. Se han llevado a cabo diferentes políticas para reforzar su competitividad, y el presente trabajo pretende subrayar las oportunidades ofrecidas por distintas estrategias. Se analizarán, por tanto, los princi-pales proyectos de desarollo territorial promovidos en Cerdeña y el papel del turismo en la búsqueda de un nuevo atractivo para las zonas rurales. Todos los datos serán tratados con los Sistemas Informativos Geográficos (GIS). La investigación con-firma que las áreas rurales, a pesar de ser ricas en recursos culturales, medioambientales, históricos, etcétera, todavía no han conseguido explotar estos recursos con fines turísticos, como bien podrían hacer. No obstante, hay varios fondos que pueden ser utilizados, y en las conclusiones se hacen algunas consideraciones útiles para mejorar el atractivo turístico de estas zonas e intentar frenar el descenso demográfico.
