Abstract
El objetivo principal de la investigación es el estudio y la validación práctica en territorios del sur del mediterráneo de metodologías de intervención basadas en el marco teórico del desarrollo local, que establecen el fortalecimiento del capital territorial de un espacio/comunidad como elemento de partida a partir del cual desplegar con éxito estrategias de desarrollo eficaces y efectivas. Este objetivo principal pretende dar respuesta a necesidades que surgen tanto desde el punto de vista científico y geográfico, como profundización en un orden científico que proporcione nuevos conocimientos sobre las características de determinados territorios y comunidades, como desde el punto de vista de la investigación prospectiva, como respuesta a la necesidad de testar la aplicabilidad y pertinencia de ciertos enfoques y métodos de trabajo en territorios y comunidades del sur de cara a establecer los cimientos de una adecuada intervención en el territorio. El estudio se ha desarrollado desde la óptica investigación-acción aprovechando la participación en el diseño y ejecución de diferentes proyectos financiados en Argelia por la Agencia Española para la Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo con el objeto de poner en marcha procesos de activación y puesta en valor del saber hacer ligado a actividades tradicionales que forman parte del patrimonio cultural mediterráneo como la cerámica y el vino. La investigación ha seguido un planteamiento constructivista, respaldado por la metodología cualitativa, que entiende el conocimiento como el resultado de la interacción de los actores y su ambiente llevándolo a un escenario en donde los actores recobran su protagonismo. Se trata de un método adecuado para analizar procesos y estrategias de desarrollo como el que nos ocupa y que exige considerar las múltiples conexiones socioespaciales que existen entre los elementos estudiados, para lo cual es conveniente que la investigación adopte una visión sistémica de la realidad que permita identificar las diferentes entidades y actores que la conforman y estudiar las relaciones estructurales existentes entre ellas. El predominio de un enfoque cualitativo que articule el grueso de la investigación permite recoger y analizar toda una serie de factores inmateriales y de difícil cuantificación que tienen gran importancia en procesos económicos y sociales como los que estamos estudiando. Las técnicas utilizadas han sido la entrevista en profundidad de carácter amplio y no estructurado, tanto en su variante individual como de grupo y la observación directa en la idea de que la suma de ambas técnicas permite una mejor comprensión de las factores que alimentan o frenan los procesos de dinamización y puesta en valor de los recursos de un determinado territorio, y de cómo las acciones emprendidas dentro de una estrategia de desarrollo a medio plazo alcanzan con éxito los resultados esperados o fracasan en la consecución de los objetivos propuestos...
The main objective of the research is the study and practice validation in southern Mediterranean territories of intervention methodologies based on the theoretical approach of Local Development which establish the strengthening of the territorial capital in an area /community as a starting element from which successfully deploy effective strategies of development. This objective try to respond to needs arising from both scientifical and geographical point of view, to provide new insights about the characteristics of certain territories and communities, and also from the point of view of the prospective research, as response to the need of testing the applicability and relevance of certain approaches and methods of work in southern territories and communities in order to establish the foundations of an appropriate local intervention. The study was developed from a research-action perspective, taking advantage of the participation in design and implementation of different funded projects in Algeria by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development in order to implement processes of activation and enhancement of the know-how linked to traditional activities that are part of the Mediterranean cultural heritage, such as pottery and wine. The research has followed a constructivist approach, backed by a qualitative methodology, which understands knowledge as the result of the interaction between the actors and their environment, bringing it to a stage where the actors recover their role. It is a suitable method for analysing processes and development strategies as the present one which requires consideration of the multiple socio-spatial connections between the studied elements. In this case, it is appropriate for the investigation to adopt a systemic view of reality that allows identify different entities and actors that form it and study the existing structural relations between them. The predominance of a qualitative approach involving the bulk of the research allows collecting and analysing a range of intangible and difficult to quantify factors that are very important in economic and social processes as the ones we are studying. The techniques used were in-depth and unstructured interviews, both individual and group variations, and direct observation in the idea that the sum of both techniques allows a better understanding of the factors that can stimulate or hinder the processes of revitalization and enhancement of the resources of a territory, and how the actions undertaken within a development strategy successfully achieve the expected results or fail in achieving the objectives...
