Cognitive Mapping of Future of Farms in the Southern Great Plain

Summary/Abstract: From geographical point of view, the farms are organic parts of the rural territories. Their situation is double-faced, they are vulnerable because of their size and production capacity; but their opportunities in value creation based on local resources and leisure capacity can be transformed into advantages. The research aim was to have actual information about farms (abandoned level, infrastructure, farm types, development, European aid use, future prospects) and discover the mental cognition about farms through sketch maps made by the focus groups. Four focus groups (people living on farms, agriculture related people, and not related people subdivided to: rural and urban population) were involved. The differences of cognition can be observed on the drawings (elaboration, number of objects, and their relative location).
