European peri-urban areas keep growing in terms of land, population and socio-spatial complexity. This article looks at the role of new residents in the ongoing reconfiguration of peri-urban space, by focusing on how their narratives make sense of their residential choices and experiences. The analysis is based on the case of the peri-urban area of Pamplona, an intermediate city in northern Spain surrounded by a peri-urban space characterised by a disperse habitat of single and collective rural-like settlements in a clear process of population growth. The discussion is grounded in a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with key informants and new residents. The results reinforce the relevance of the residential lure of these territories as well as of the housing policies adopted. They also show three key elements to understand better the complexity and internal heterogeneity of this process: the different motivations supporting the residential choice; the links established with the place and its population and the experiences within the territory. Finally, the article concludes by suggesting that the different profiles of the new residents and their different orientations regarding the way of residing and experiencing the residence generate different territorialities through which they form new and coexisting ruralities, as well as a hybrid identity construction with the place.

新农村居民在城郊配置中的叙事：从环境约束到开放

欧洲城郊地区在土地、人口和社会空间复杂性方面不断增长。本文着眼于新居民在城郊空间的持续重构中的作用，重点关注他们的叙述如何理解他们的居住选择和体验。该分析基于潘普洛纳城郊地区的案例，潘普洛纳是西班牙北部的一个中间城市，周围环绕着城郊空间，其特点是在人口增长的明确过程中，单一和集体的乡村式定居点的栖息地分散。讨论基于对关键线人和新居民进行的一系列半结构化访谈。结果强化了这些地区的住宅吸引力以及所采用的住房政策的相关性。他们还展示了三个关键要素，以更好地理解这一过程的复杂性和内部异质性：支持住宅选择的不同动机；与该地方及其人口以及该领土内的经验建立的联系。最后，文章最后提出，新居民的不同特征以及他们在居住和体验方式上的不同定位产生了不同的地域性，他们通过这些地域性形成了新的和共存的乡村，以及与地方的混合身份构建。 .
