Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Rural Revitalisation Zone in Cantal

Official classification of the municipalities of the department in a rural revitalisation zone

Rural Revitalisation Areas (RZs) are designed to assist the development of rural territories mainly through fiscal and social measures. Specific measures for economic development shall apply. The aim is to concentrate state aid measures for job-creating enterprises in the less populated rural areas most affected by demographic and economic decline.

The ZRRs were created by the Law of Orientation for the Planning and Development of the Territory (LOADT) of 4 February 1995. The Interministerial Committee on Territorial Planning and Development (CIADT) on 3 September 2003 set out new guidelines for adapting this tool to current needs. The corresponding provisions are contained in the Law on the Development of Rural Territories of 23 February 2005 and Decree No. 2005-1435 of 21 November 2005.

The list establishing the classification of municipalities in ZRR is drawn up and revised each year by order of the Prime Minister in the light of the creations, deletions and modifications of the scope of the EPCI with own taxation established on 31 December of the previous year

This national sheet corresponds to part of the metadata of the COVADIS ZRR standard. This standard has been developed in a generic and non-milled manner (its name and definitions do not mention any date as in previous records) to apply to different versions of the ZRR Order. The local GeoBase layers should be named N_ZRR_ZSUP_ddd_aaaa, aaaa corresponding to the data vintage.

The 1996 and 2005 RRAs remain described in National Fact Sheets #311 and #752.
