MOVE DYNAMICS OF HISTORIC GARDENS

Huerta de Zaragoza

Securities and revitalization of historic gardens peri

A large group of scholars and / or defenders of the traditional orchard in Iberian Peninsula met in late March in Baeza (Jaen) because of course being organized by Universidad Internacional de Andalucía under the title "The agricultural heritage: the protection of meadows and historic gardens in the suburban areas."

After some introductory presentations and theoretical, the second part of the course consisted of successive presentations on current issues of values \u200b\u200band historical gardens of Granada, Pegalajar, Orihuela, Zaragoza, Valencia and Murcia.

Eugenio and Pepe Castillo Cejudo talked of the plain of Granada emphasizing its secular character of the agricultural area radically transformed in recent years because of the rise of brick and exponential population growth in the municipalities of the metropolitan area. Also reviewed the patrimonial character of this space, with the maximum guarantee of the footprint of García Lorca to ask for their protection, even taking into account that although it was considered necessary to protect more important to manage.

Salvador intervention on Orchard Mesa Pegalajar, in the province of Jaén, stood out among the others because it is a small garden space more rural in character but of unquestionable heritage.

Gregorio Canales explained the history and current state of Baja del Segura Huerta, around Orihuela in Alicante province and physical then the garden of Murcia. This space is also unique because of the very best use was subjected to the low flow of the river Segura in a system that included the surplus of irrigation water to be returned to the runway to be bled again downstream. Currently, tourism development in the area has managed to displace its urban axis towards the coast leaving the garden space in very precarious conditions.

these lines, the undersigned, spoke about the history, heritage and current status of Huerta de Zaragoza shelling their peculiar environment, its long history, its monuments, ethnological heritage, agriculture and natural as well as some hints about its current situation: the conditions among which the urban expansion and the abandonment of horticultural crops, the alarming decline in the number of gardeners, and initiatives have emerged in recent years as the Bureau of the Huerta de Ebropolis and above all the controversy surrounding the garden of Las Fuentes with the important role of the Compact City Platform 2014 in postponing (at least) of the planned ExpoPaisajes.

Vicente Torres, the group Per l'Horta de Valencia raised the status of a garden attached to a metropolitan area of \u200b\u200ba million and half people. Is a complex production network, water and residential (including housing and barracks traditional farmhouses) in close relationship with the city. Today the cultivation of oranges has meant that 85% of the growers are part-time as the de-professionalization of the sector and therefore lack of relief generation. Otherwise suffer multiple attacks and industrial discharges, illegal workshops farmsteads, major road infrastructure such as belts to which the soil has advanced urban conurbations ...

The northern half of the garden is somewhat better preserved even in large part thanks to the popular mobilizations that 30 years have failed to stop successive drafts of a new belt. A prominent example of these attacks was the expropriation of the Punta Horta for conversion into commercial port logistics zone, because although this project was never realized this area has been transformed into a set of derelict illustrating the maximum sad of "breaks first and then reclassified." In return, the Valencian huerta recent years being the center of a large public and institutional debate following the drafting of a Territorial Action Plan by the Generalitat Valenciana has not yet come to fruition. José Antonio Moreno

, the Conservation Association de la Huerta de Murcia (Huermur), offered another interesting story about the battered Segura average garden described in a current situation to the brink of chaos from a town planning The letter supported by a General Plan which included doubling the population of only ten years ago, "modernization del regadío” mediante el entubado de acequias y azarbes que muchas veces servía para trazar encima de la antigua acequia un camino asfaltado a los lados del cual se iba edificando, y todo ello sin un Plan de Modernización de Regadíos.

Ante todo ello, Huermur ha intentado huir de la protesta pública para centrarse en una acción judicial que ha dado desiguales resultados prácticos pero que ha conseguido incorporar el debate sobre la huerta a la actualidad murciana de tal manera que a día de hoy todos los partidos abanderan la defensa de la huerta en sus programas para las próximas elecciones. Otra de sus acciones ha sido la petición de la declaración como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) para la red de orchard ditches whose resolution is still in court.

Course table topped with a debate in which representatives of Pegalajar, Zaragoza (on behalf of the Platform Compact City intervened Olga Conde 2014), Granada, Motril, Alicante, Valencia Antequera and summarized the state of their gardens and their proposals for action and progress in establishing some common coordination.

Some of the initiatives and concerns that did not fail to appear in this debate were the recovery of traditional crops, agro-ecological market close, the effort required in agricultural training, consideration of these areas as threatened reservoirs of fertile soil, the preference of productive revaluation formulas before the urban protection, enhancement of the gardens as a sign of local identity, the need for supra-scale planning or the commitment to revitalization and management strategies of these spaces from the figure of Agricultural Park or similar. In addition there was agreement on the state to refer to the activity of the Baix Llobregat Agricultural Park as well as its chief Josep Montasell.

In this sense, one of the most interesting documents to be circulated was the Charter of the Peri-Urban Agriculture, signed in Castelldefels September 2010, the Agricultural Park is defined as "peri-urban agricultural area managed with the objective of preserving agricultural functions and promote own economic and territorial development of agricultural holdings, while preserving and disseminating ecological and cultural values associated with it.
