dels espais agraris periurbans: el cas de les Cinc Sènies-Mata-Valldeix
de Mataró The value of peri-urban agricultural spaces: the case of the Cinc Sènies–Mata–Valldeix in Mataró Peri-urban agricultural spaces are rural transition zones that are subject to a high degree of interference from surrounding towns. Due to their agricultural activity, these landscapes are of great worth and interest, especially in light of their proximity to urban areas. In order to preserve this type of landscape, however, these zones should be protected not only by legal safeguards, but also by careful maintenance and stimulation of the agricultural sector. Agricultural activity serves as the prime determinant of a landscape’s specific value, as without it the landscape would lose its function and dynamism. The objectives of this article are as follows: to create awareness and generate interest in the problems associated with the current state of protection of the agrarian zone Cinc Sènies in Mataró; to describe those conservation proposals currently under discussion; and to design a research project geared towards these issues from a three-fold perspective (landscape, socio-economics and natural). It is hoped that this will generate wider public concern regarding the productive, environmental and cultural values of this zone. There are two important reasons for undertaking this project. First, is the need for a comprehensive management plan, one that guarantees the maintenance of a dynamic and productive agricultural sector, but which at the same time reinforces the ecological and agrarian values still present in this zone. Second is the need to create awareness among the citizens of Mataró and its surrounding communities (Comarca of Maresme) that the irreplaceable cultural and environmental value of this landscape cannot be neglected or abandoned. |
