These "methodological guidelines" complement the resource sheets. The resource sheets describe different local schemes, based on pooling of experience and collection of field data. They endeavour to understand local dynamics currently in place, by means of a comparison chart featuring the different schemes. Using this work, we have been able to draw a comparative analysis of the different initiatives, with a view to meeting several objectives :
To define the notion of collective and territorial scheme (DCT) through comparative interpretation, based on identified common criteria
To facilitate the emergence, development and sustainability of DCTs in rural sectors in Europe.
