Abstract

Rural areas are recognized by type of settlement and the surrounding areas, where agricultural and forestry practice was performed. This settlement model lasted until the advent of industrialization, implemented at different rhythms for developed countries and that is also reflected in a long and severe process of rural depopulation for city cores. Currently, the urban population continues to increase, while rural decreases, reaching with frequency ratios that lead to concentration problems, given the scarce opportunities for development and innovation discoveries in rural areas, instituting a repulsive character to the fixing population in these spaces. Nevertheless, in the last 30 years or so, there have been models that support the maintenance and preservation of rural areas, especially multifunctionality models, in other words, the concentration of several different functions in these areas in an attempt to energize and attract young and skilled population, with city roots phenomenon titled naturbanização. As it relates to the Cinfães municipality, in this territory since the middle of last century that the demographic decline is significant. However, Cinfães presents full potential, which are divided between the scenic beauty of the Montemuro mountains and unspoilt nature that surrounds the Bestança river. It is a town with numerous points of interest among which stands out the historical and cultural heritage, traditions still very marked by a full population of stories and memories, in addition to the tranquility and safety of small towns, but where there are still a number of specialized services. If we associate all these advantages to promote new opportunities, Cinfães municipality will gain new momentum.
