Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Welcome land for Travellers — Rhône

A Traveller’s Land is a generic designation of any land permanently or intermittently developed for the passage or stay of Travellers. The common characteristic of such land is to be constructed and managed by a community which may be either a commune, a group of municipalities or an intercommunity. Some of them benefit from a State subsidy.A Traveller’s Welcome Land may be included in the Departmental Traveller Welcome Scheme (this is the case for reception areas and large passage areas) or not (this is the case for small crossing areas and family rental grounds). There are municipalities that have set up a reception area for Travellers outside the departmental schemes. Reception areas, large passageways and small passageways and family rental grounds are the four types of land representative of the public action for the reception of Travellers.The areas included in the SDAGV are assisted by the State by prefectural decree. This assistance may be supplemented by grants from the region, the department and the family allowance funds. The State’s financial contribution relates to investments necessary for the development and rehabilitation of permanent reception areas up to 70 % of the expenditure incurred within two years of publication of the scheme. State aid for the management of host areas may complement investment aid. Similarly, the law authorises the participation of the department up to a maximum of 25 % of the operating costs of the areas.
