Résumé : | In many regions peasant farm households are disappearing under socio-economic forces, their destine is either to become landless or holdings, but in Southern Europe more often they are relatively stable or became part-time farms. Great importance in the intensity of use of resources is attributed to the relation between the ownership of the land and its management. The paper objective is to inquire which are the effects of land property and management on the attitude toward the rural landscape. The study is an empirical work conducted in a rural area of Southern Italy. In this context two main typologies are delineated: the traditional peasant household and the part-time farms. The figure of the traditional peasant is typically associated, in this context, to a poor marginal agriculture. Therefore, agricultural activity, in that it is the only source of income for the family, is substantially like a kind of continuous robbery that determines the accentuation of the environmental degradation already broadly diffused in these areas. Unexpectedly the part-time farming better guarantees the control of the territory in terms of resource preservation. The results seem to confirm that the most discriminating variable, able to influence the attitude toward a preserved rural landscape, is not the relationship that intervenes between the ownership and the management of the land |
