The present study is aimed at proposing a methodology for defining and profiling different typologies of rural areas. A quantitative exercise has been developed in Greece, an European country showing drastic economic changes in rural areas during the last decades. Results indicate that the optimal classification for rural areas in Greece can be derived through the combined use of the Degree of Handicap of EU Regulation 1257/99 and Degree of urbanism (using the standard OCSE criterion). This methodology constitutes an appropriate base to inform policy measures stimulating the socioeconomic performances of rural areas in Greece, that could be successfully extended to other European Countries.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at proposing a methodology for defining and profiling different typologies of rural areas. A quantitative exercise has been developed in Greece, an European country showing drastic economic changes in rural areas during the last decades. Results indicate that the optimal classification for rural areas in Greece can be derived through the combined use of the Degree of Handicap of EU Regulation 1257/99 and Degree of urbanism (using the standard OCSE criterion). This methodology constitutes an appropriate base to inform policy measures stimulating the socioeconomic performances of rural areas in Greece, that could be successfully extended to other European Countries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
