Situation Map Aguaviva
Belongs to the shire (comarca) of Bajo Aragon
Aguaviva Township is located in the comunity autonomous of Aragon, and on the border of the province of Teruel in Castellón. The area of the municipality is 41.9 km2 and is situated at 549 meters above sea level.
Aguaviva is situated between the rivers and Bergantes Guadalope, surrounded by a landscape becomes wilder the more we advance along the A-225 towards Morella (Castellón).
The area in which lies the town of Aguaviva highlighted by a difficult terrain makes communication with the capital of the province, especially in winter, despite the improvement that has occurred in the roads that we communicates with Teruel.
The geographical situation explains the dependence and direction of economic and social flows and its region Aguaviva to the city of Zaragoza instead of Teruel, which is administratively. This situation has made the economic development of the area has been less than others with better communication.
A means of communication that could have been a major industrial development for this area is the railroad Aragon. Since the end of the last century there was a line linking Barcelona and Zaragoza had his way through Alcaniz. Another company joining the San Carlos Aragon with the Rápita further contact with the former. These lines service stopped in 1973, which led to this zone but be connected to the rest of Aragóny other nearby areas of development with the consequent delay in its industrialization.
The population of Aragon, like the rest of the province, has suffered a setback continuous but slow. Within the area, a special case is the town of Alcaniz, which has seen its population was increasing at a constant due to the influx of people from surrounding villages.
The justification of the demographic decline of the Bajo Aragon, which includes Aguaviva, is to be found in the natural dynamics (birth and death) and especially in migration. Given the scarcity of resources, emigration has been the traditional outlet to find a better way of life in more developed areas.
The precariousness of rural living drives people to emigrate from the region, bound next most developed regions (Catalonia, Saragossa, Valencia, Madrid). The problem is that the emptying of the Bajo Aragón, in the long term, unfortunately, does not result in an appreciable improvement in income and quality of life of those who have stayed.
In the years when the economic crisis is stronger, the exodus seems to stop and even recorded some returns of former emigrants. In our time weighs more interprovincial movement, emphasizing the depopulation of the mountains in favor of the county seats. This explains the case of Alcaniz noted above.
The strong reduction in population of the region because of emigration has resulted in the loss, by the people, their self-renewal capacity, surpassing the deaths to births.
The average age of the inhabitants of the region of Aragon is 43 years, reflecting a progressive aging of the population, due in part to declining birth rates and the decline in mortality.
The birth rate has been declining steadily and is now Teruel is a province with lower rates. Specifically, the Aragon Teruel has a birth rate of 2.1%.
In mortality have been declining over recent decades, although mortality in our region is higher than the Spanish average due to its aging population. The mortality rate of Aragon Teruel rises to 7%.
With the above data we obtain that the vegetative growth of the region of Aragon is negative (-4.89%).
All of this aging population results in economic terms in a decrease in the labor force, weakening of productivity, higher taxes and lower labor initiatives around the world to be older people.
The considerations made so far in relation to the demographics of the region of Aragon, they can move to the area of ??the town of Aguaviva and that is submerged in the same context.
The predominant economic activity in the town of Aguaviva is agriculture and livestock. On these two activities underpin the economy of a large núermo of local families. Most people working in agriculture are owners of their land so the unemployment rate is zero in this activity.
Another important activity Aguaviva by the number of people dedicated to it's construction. The majority of workers engaged in construction makes it self-employed and doing work within the locality.
Professional groups with a certain importance in Aguaviva economic activity, are also engaged in technical branches such as plumbing, electrical, mechanical, etc. .... and persons engaged in retail and hospitality.
Because the predominant activity is agriculture and industry is virtually nonexistent, unemployment rates in the population are low in relation to other locations where there is or has been a major industrial activity.
Current situation: Aguaviva is an eminently agricultural. Their lands are in a favorable geographical position determined by the low altitude, which allows the cultivation of a wide range of agricultural products. All this is accompanied by good quality land.
The property is the most common formula tenure compared to only existing lease in the area. The degree of fragmentation is very intense, with a large number of farms, although a small number of people shared half of the tierrras available. These farmers often join neighboring parcels in order to obtain a greater ysize operation more profitable. This attitude reminds us of land consolidation as a way to make farms more productive.
Aguaviva is in a location close to centers of consumption and marketing strategy as Zaragoza, Catalonia and Levante.
Among the products that exist on this earth, highlight some with some brand recognition, and peach oil, able to compete in other markets. Oil production is characterized by a number of serious shortcomings such as the high rate of consumption exists, the application of modern techniques null in elaboracióny aging plantations.
The excessive weight of the cereal production makes this sector particularly sensitive to negative consequences dela Reform of the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), while cereals will experience a sharp decline in prices to assimilate global market conditions.
Young people tend to abandon farming activities because they do not have enough attractions, including economic ones, which could achieve the welfare of society demands.
Aguaviva is located within the area of Bajo Aragon where it is located more than 60% of the overall population.
The customs tradicióny livestock in a rural area like this, come down for many years, and in the past, it has been established and updated with more advanced techniques. The vocation of these people by livestock is seen in the increase of animal population censuses.
