| Sumario: | A recent transition in the field of rural
development theory is a move from a
narrow agricultural sector approach, to one
which adopts broader territorial vision. This
passage seeks to interpret interactions
between urban and rural worlds in a more
comprehensive manner.This relatively
new theoretical perspective is of particular
interest to academics and politicians in Latin
American countries where, since the mid
1990s, the concept of new rurality has been
seen as the source of a new approach to
rural development.
Therefore the theoretical purpose of this
research is to clarify the analytical signposts of
the new rurality theme in Latin America and to
identify the differences between sectoral and
territorial approaches considering the socioeconomic,
institutional and environmental
aspects involved. The transition from
sectoral to territorial approaches also
means, from an operative point of view, the
recognition of homogeneous areas for the
suggestion of rural development strategies.
The operative purpose of this research
consists in proposing a methodology to
identify these areas with an application in
the Maule Region in Chile. The conclusion
underlines some critical elements that
should be considered in the definition of
territorial rural development strategies.
