The Metadistricit as territorial strategy for revitalizing the rural economy

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal is to explore a new concept of 'Metadistrict' to be applied in a region of Southern Italy, the Apulia region. After a literature review about network structure importance, we analysis the case of Apulia Region highlighting the overlapping of the development programming of two agro-industrial Districts, of 64 IPFs and of the 25 LAGs. We attempted to overcame this overlapping through a simplified Matrix Organization Model of Metadistrict by taking into account the Districts, IPFs, and the LAGs Programs frameworks summation. So the Metadistrict may represent a key role of the rural economy and, in special way, a driving force for the internationalization through the networking of District Activities, IPFs Products/firms and LAGs Territories/Countries. Finally the results should lead on a long term to revitalize the primary sector increasing economic and productive opportunities due to the implementation of a shared strategy.
