Management Model for Single Rural Heritage (MOMAr)
MOMAr is a European project, led by the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, focused on highlighting the existence of territories with problems of population decline, aging and underutilization of resources, and whose identity is marked by a rich heritage .
In some cases, they have UNESCO heritage, but their management institutions have not finished defining their models of action in the context of cultural and natural resources or have simply borrowed models that do not correspond to regional reality. .
