RUIZ-VARONA, Ana. The Social Space of the Uninhabited Lands in Alto Aragón, Spain. Ethnographic Approach to the Current Occupation Practices as a Factor to Preserve a Rural Environment of Great Landscaping Value. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.82, pp.1-18. ISSN 0122-1450.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.cdr15-82.edaa.

The current poor preservation conditions of the uninhabited lands in the Huesca Pre-Pyrenees represents an alarming scenery involving the loss of cultural, landscape, architectonic, and social values associated with this territory. The qualitative study of the reoccupation practices provides insights into the motivations by some minority groups to recover these life settings. The results thereof indicate the role of the natural environment when it comes to settle specific uninhabited lands and whether these experiences would eventually become an option for the land autonomy and a suitable option for preservation, even so under the framework of the current space planning provisions.

Keywords : patrimony; landscape; urban counter-development; ethnography.
