The massive influx of visitors at rural surroundings generates overpressures

Increasingly the tourism masses at epochs and concrete dates generating overpressure at the territory, multiplying the temporal populace and shooting his necessities hídriques and of kicks of prompt form. This overpressure ends posing at risk the preservation of the wealth patrimonial and ambient of the territories, in addition to affecting the experience of the visitors and the daily life of the residents.

At the case of the region of the Collsacabra, the beaks of demand surpass with escreix the capacity of received of the territory taking into account that the capacity of the parkings already is sobredimensionada with regard to the capacity to offer kicks of the townships, how now the restoration or pernocta. Rupit has little less of 300 inhabitants and gets some 150.000 annual visitors. The Jump of water of the Pierced has registered entries of more of 700 visitors at an only day, an untenable figure at territorial level.

Pilot proofs for the regulation of the visitors at the Collsacabra since the 2018

Since the 2018 at the Collsacabra manage several natural rooms by means of informadors ambient (project awarded by the UNTWO the 2023). Since the 2020, during the periods of Week Santa, the city councils of the Squirrel, Rupit and Pruit, and Tavertet, decided to intervene at the flux of visitors by means of canals of WhatsApp among the informadors situated at the natural rooms, the informadors situated at the parkings of the territory, the employers of restoration of each people and his mayors that decide at which moment his townships are: Free, Saturated or Full.

This information transmits at direct at the visitors at l‘entered of the territory by means of panels mobile LEDs and a system of informadors at the principal points of fit at the territory. From this system, has obtained a model of mobility controlled that it resolves the problems of overcrowding. It treats but of an analog system that has his limitations and that now would have to digitise to be able to it make more efficient and magnify his possibilities.

Sensors and panels LED for monitoritzar the mobility at the territory at real time

The act that implements in the project Life eCoadapt50 is the physical installation at the township of Rupit and Pruit, as a part of the project bioregional, of the sensors and panels capable LEDs of monitoritzar the mobility at the territory at real time. The act divides at two phases:

  • Phase 1: survey and technical writing of the project including meetings with the city council, owners of the road and private owners affected as well as with the suppliers of the already implanted tech to establish ports of connectivity.
  • Phase 2: implantation of the planned tech at the phase 1, the connectivity and management of the data and the put into motion of the operative.

This size has the support of the territory so that it splits of a participatory process titled “Collsacabra Future” realised during the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 and at what posed of manifesto the necessity to limit and order the flux of visitors to have a more habitable territory and resilient.
