## Exploring the Dynamics of Rural Attractiveness

The Index of Rural Attractiveness (RAI) used here is made up of 4 sub-indices: social, natural environment, human-made environment, and economic (read more about this here). Having a look at these sub-indices helps to get a more differentiated picture of the rural attractiveness in the different regions: In which fields does a region perform well and in which fields does it lag behind? Drilling down deeper into the RAI also helps to better understand where changes in the overall RAI come from, in which fields changes occur that increase or decrease the overall value of the RAI.

Thus, the visualizations below show the development of the 4 RAI sub-indices for the PoliRural pilot regions from 2015 to 2040 under a business-as-usual scenario, which means everything continues as is. See here to find out more about the different visualization types:
