Individual countries have already carried out national campaigns, which is why the European ARGE Land Development and Village Renewal was founded in 1989 . The association sees itself as an unbureaucratic association of politicians, experts and scientists. The ARGE is based in Vienna . Until 2006, the ARGE worked as a platform for the Austrian Eco-Social Forum .

In November 2006, the ARGE was founded as an independent association with its own legal personality. Since 2009, the association has received support from the Europe for Citizens program of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education and Culture .

The current chairman is the Governor of Lower Austria, Erwin Pröll .

Members

19 European member countries and regions are members of the ARGE. Switzerland has been a member since 2008. The Lower Silesian Voivodeship joined in 2009 .

Village renewal award

In order to create an incentive, the ARGE awards the European Village Renewal Award, which has been awarded every two years since 1990.

Village renewal guidelines

Village renewals are carried out on the basis of the village renewal guidelines adopted by the federal states.

The general objectives of village renewal are set out in the text of the guidelines, for example in Lower Saxony :

“The promotion of village renewal is part of the state's structural policy for rural areas and the rural areas of regulatory areas. It should enable the communities and their citizens to preserve the unmistakable character of rural settlements, which are characterized by socio-economic, structural-spatial, ecological and cultural values, and to adapt the villages as living, working, social and cultural areas to future requirements. "

The money used in village renewal comes from state, federal and EU funds.

The funding should (also in Lower Saxony, for example):

  • make it possible to develop guidelines for the future development of the village,
  • Maintain and improve rural settlements as locations for agricultural and forestry operations,
  • Eliminate economic obstacles in agricultural and forestry operations and reduce their workload,
  • harmonize the environmental impact of agricultural and forestry operations with the requirements of contemporary living and working,
  • improve the living conditions of farming families,
  • secure and strengthen the general economic power of the village,
  • secure the building fabric typical of the area, if necessary through conversion,
  • improve the living environment,
  • Preserve or restore the rural ecological character and diversity,
  • make a contribution to the maintenance of the townscape and the creative development of the village,
  • integrate the village into the surrounding landscape
  • as well as giving impetus for a meaningful long-term village development and for further public and private investments.

The sequence and focus within the aforementioned list of the goals of village renewal show that in Lower Saxony, in particular, the agricultural and forestry operations are being moved into the core area of ​​interest. Their position in the village is to be secured and developed as a matter of priority. But the other aspects of village development, such as general economic development, the development of the village as a place to live, maintenance of the townscape and village ecology, should also be the subject of village renewal.

In Hesse, the focus is more on the conversion of formerly agricultural buildings, with the maintenance and creation of jobs playing an important role in addition to the creation of living space.

A distinction must be made in the village renewal programs between the promotion of communal and private measures. In the case of municipal measures in Hesse, special emphasis is placed on ensuring that they are developed together with all local population groups. In particular, measures should be promoted that provide for internal development (building in the center of the town) before external development (new development areas) and that take demographic development into account; d. This means that an attempt should be made to keep the villages liveable for all age groups.

Village renewal plan

The basis for promoting village renewal in accordance with the village renewal guidelines of the respective federal states is a village renewal plan, which shows the development goals for the planning area and the measures required for implementation in text and map.

The village renewal plan is a local development concept that is intended to provide an overview of future planning and action in the village, and which specifies the time and financial framework for the planned measures. The village renewal plan is to be drawn up by the municipalities. Intensive participation of the resident citizens and property owners is sought. The public interest bodies , the villagers and other claimants are to be involved in the planning in an appropriate manner.

Country-specific characteristics

  • In Hesse , the offices for rural areas (at the respective district office ) are responsible, funding is provided by the Hessen Economic and Infrastructure Bank (Wiba). Village development plans are no longer created here, but in the year the location is recognized as a funding focus, an integrated municipal development concept (IKEK) is created jointly by a specialist office with the local residents, which, in addition to a strengths / weaknesses analysis, provides a model for future development and receives a catalog of measures for the communal measures, but no planning in the narrower sense. Funding priorities in Hessen remain in the program for 9 years, after which funding is no longer possible.
  • In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , the municipalities and associations of municipalities are funded. Are the contact persons for funding
    • outside the areas of land consolidation / land consolidation proceedings the district and
    • within the areas of land consolidation / land consolidation proceedings, the locally responsible land consolidation authority, i.e. the state offices for agriculture and the environment.
  • In Rhineland-Palatinate , village renewal officers are active in the district administrations who oversee village renewal. Every local community that presents a qualified village renewal concept is included in the funding program, and funding can flow for both private and municipal measures. In addition, "investment and measure priorities" are recognized for a period of six years. By updating the village renewal concepts and special advisory and moderation services, priority should be given to the distribution of funds in the priority communities.

Austria

In Austria, the idea of ​​village renewal began to gain a foothold in the federal states in the late 1980s. Since spatial development is also the responsibility of the federal states here , village renewal is also organized at the state level , similar to the urban renewal that begins later . Lower Austria played a leading role in this area . The village development programs run throughout Austria as part of the Local Agenda 21 and the LEADER programs.

The programs and institutions of the countries are:

  • Village renewal department, Office of the Burgenland Provincial Government
  • Department 20 - State Planning, Local and Regional Development / EU Program Office, Office of the Carinthian State Government
