Both the notion of cluster and that of creative activity tend to be associated by mainstream research with urban settings; thus, situating them in an non metropolitan or rural localities has required us to adapt the usual methodology to the scale and idiosyncrasies of a rural setting. Based on this new focus, we have been able to identify 761 municipalities that could host creative clusters within an initial area of study of 7367 non-metropolitan municipalities with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants. This methodology also has allowed us to measure intensity, internal composition, and localization, so that those of a more mature or advanced character, having a greater level of specialization and diversity, predominate in places close to metropolitan areas and the Mediterranean axis, whereas in the inner Spain, they are found in a lower proportion and in a more scattered and discontinuous manner. Activities belonging to the Functional Creations sector prevail over those from Communication and Patrimony in the configuration of the clusters, although there are differences in relative specialization according to their mature or advanced level. In addition, some of the most significant indicators of rural dynamism e population growth, human capital, unemployment, and economic activity e show much better behaviour in municipalities with creative clusters. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CSO2012-31650 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.38 2016 PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 7 / 55 = 0.127 2016 Q1 T1 GEOGRAPHY 18 / 78 = 0.231 2016 Q1 T1 1.272 2016 Development 2016 Q1 Sociology and Political Science 2016 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2016 Q1 Forestry 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-3489-0692 Escolano-Utrilla, S Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2228-7861 Sáez-Pérez, LA Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4098-8212 Sánchez-Valverde García, B Universidad de Zaragoza 2007 265 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
