!!!Dorferneuerung

Village Renewal, collective term for measures of regional planning 
aimed at adapting village structures to meet today´s social 
requirements. In the early 1980s the term "village renewal" mainly 
stood for activities aimed at improving the appearance of a village 
(village decoration, decoration of façades, restauration and 
maintenance of the original village structure); since the end of the 
1980s it has also included cultural aspects aimed at improving the 
quality of life in rural areas. Projects on village renewal include 
the appearance of a village, neighbourly help, culture in the village, 
traffic reduction, improving the economic situation of villages, etc. 
The Austrian province of Lower Austria has been particularly active in 
village renewal.
