Project Summary
The overall objective of Re-Place is to mobilize participatory research in non-metropolitan Left Behind Areas (LBAs) to examine the impact that spatial (i)mobility has on areas of origin and destination and how it can be harnessed to enhance alternative local development, the cooperative building of human capital, well-being and sustainability in various contexts.
Focused on LBAs in six European countries, including Germany, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Romania and Spain, the Re-Place project aims to: i) develop empirical tools - namely a typology and a representative online survey - to advance the understanding of development and mobility trajectories; ii) focus on 12 areas in 6 countries to examine (i)mobility factors and movements to and from different types of LBAs, assessing the consequent spatial, economic, social and cultural transformations; iii) qualitatively examine the perceptions and livelihood practices of (i)mobile residents in various domains of life; iv) co-create place-based policies to enhance the benefits of mobility and alternative local development through living labs in villages and the development of a policy toolbox; and v) reshape existing narratives about LBAs to strengthen residents' and newcomers' sense of belonging, using co-production and visual methodologies.
