Next Thursday there will be a new seminar DRIE right of Future casts a shadow on the present. Using a Structural Equation Model to explain the limitations of rural livability on the fronts of extraction contexts. Will be carried out by the researchers Helena Martínez-Cabrera, Miguel Caínzos López and Gonzalo Rodríguez Rodríguez.
This presentation will address how the models of development based on the extraction , influence the ability of rural communities to define and pursue their own wellness goals. The analysis focuses on the mechanisms by which the economic specialization may limit the habitability of the territories, generating a dynamic of the depopulation, the weakening of social institutions and the perceptions of uncertainty regarding the future.
People authors use a Structural equation Model Multilevel (MSEM) to examine the relationship between the agency, local ways of life and the capacity of territories to sosteren styles of life at the time. The study is based on data from the representative survey of rural areas in galicia, a region increasingly specialized in the extraction of wood from the fast-growing species. The results allow to validate the habitability as a concept that integrates both the satisfaction of the needs of the present as future expectations, and show that the areas with the most experience in wood offer less opportunities of well-being.
