Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.
Download or read book The Future of the Past Paths towards Participatory Governance for Cultural Heritage written by Gabriela García and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of the Past is a biennial conference generally carried out during the commemoration date of the incorporation of Santa Ana de Los Ríos de Cuenca Ecuador as a World Heritage Site (WHS). It initiated in 2014, organized by the City Preservation Management research project (CPM) of the University of Cuenca, to create a space for dialoguing among interested actors in the cultural heritage field. Since then, this space has served to exchange initiatives and to promote coordinated actions based on shared responsibility, in the local context. The third edition of this conference took place in the context of the 20th anniversary of being listed as WHS and a decade of CPM as the Southern host of the PRECOM3OS UNESCO Chair (Preventive Conservation, Maintenance and Monitoring of Monuments and Sites). For the very first time, and thanks to the collaboration with the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation of the University of Leuven (Belgium), the conference expanded its local scope. On this occasion, contributions reflected round a worldwide challenge in the cultural field: revealing the paths towards participatory governance of cultural heritage. Participatory governance is understood as institutional decision-making structures supported by shared responsibilities and rights among diverse actors.
Download or read book Spanish Tourism Geographies written by Asunción Blanco-Romero and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the progress in Spanish tourism geography, particularly after the overlay of financial, pandemic and climate crisis, by the scrutiny of the different geographical areas and variables of analysis. It shows the diversity of geographical environments and their varied relationship with tourism, from the emptied inland regions to urban heritage in historic centres to coastal resorts. The book also introduces the analysis of the most important variables when studying the implications of Spanish tourist specialization. How are the beaches with intensive tourist use managed? What socio-spatial processes do leisure-rooted migrations involve? What are the labour conditions in the Spanish tourism industry? How does saving water boost tourism growth? The book offers answers through a methodological specificity of Spanish geography, which is highly oriented towards the analysis of public policies and even the proposal of new planning and methodology formulas that go beyond diagnostic studies. The domestic perspective, or that of insiders, of these scientists residing in Spain bestows them with special codes for conducting interpretations and analyses based on their everyday proximity to a territory characterised by its intense touristification. The tourism and real estate specialisation that Spanish society, together with its territory and institutions, have forged since the beginning of “developmentalism” permeates this scientific analysis. By providing a strong conceptual and empirical portrait, this book is a great resource for students and scholars in geography of tourism, as well as for social scientists and policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Informe se ha dividido en tres capítulos además de un Resumen Ejecutivo, en el que se sintetizan las principales conclusiones del mismo. El primer capítulo expone una aproximación a la situación de la sostenibilidad local en su vertiente urbana a través de un sistema de indicadores aplicados a las capitales de provincia como conjunto representativo. El segundo aborda la situación de la sostenibilidad local en su vertiente rural, ofreciendo un conjunto de indicadores que se complementan con una muestra seleccionada de diez zonas piloto suficientemente representativas. El tercero y último capítulo trata las interacciones urbanas-rurales en un marco de sostenibilidad territorial, explicando la necesidad de establecer un nuevo diálogo campo-ciudad, y los requerimientos que ello implica, a fin de proponer algunas herramientas para una nueva estrategia territorial integrada. El análisis de la sostenibilidad local intenta poner en evidencia la necesidad de desarrollar un enfoque territorial que integre los distintos territorios urbano, rural y los espacios intermedios, lo que implica identificar, reconocer y gestionar los recursos endógenos de cada uno de ellos y propiciar su revalorización, como un modo de garantizar procesos sostenibles y diversificados.

Download or read book Hiking in European Mountains written by Pablo Vidal-González and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature sports in general and hiking in particular have become, in our urban and post-industrial societies, a growing phenomenon practiced by millions of citizens. The motivations and interests of this large group are varied, but they have a common element: to disconnect from stressful modern life and reconnect with nature. National parks and other protected areas are the preferred destinations, but they present an challenging contrast for land management: conservation versus tourist use. While once considered a romantic practice of escape and discovery, hiking is now a consumer product and a tourist experience. It promises experiences of disconnection, quiet and health; yet, natural spaces are increasingly scarce and more often than not they are crowded by other recreationalists. This book presents a multidisciplinary perspective on the latest trends and developments in hiking. In particular, the authors work from a European perspective with various outdoor recreation models represented and different conservation initiatives explored in the contexts of Spain, Norway, Poland, Germany and Lebanon. Collectively, the authors attend to hiking as a social phenomenon and economic opportunity, which has the potential to sustainably revitalize rural destinations, if managed properly.

Download or read book Territorialidad y buen gobierno para el desarrollo sostenible written by Joaquín Farinós Dasí and published by Publicacions de la Universitat de València. This book was released on 2007 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El título de este libro insiste en la necesidad, no exenta de dificultades metodológicas, de dotarse de nuevos principios y nuevas formas de diseñar y aplicar las políticas territoriales o con impacto territorial. Desarrollo territorial sostenible, gobernanza democrática y territorialidad son las piezas clave en este nuevo y emergente paradigma. Las aportaciones que se reúnen en este volumen resultan en cierta medida complementarias. Pese a los distintos enfoques reconocibles, el lector advertirá una tendencia a la confluencia, que no es sino el reflejo de la viva discusión y reflexión sobre la práctica de la planificación del territorio que se está produciendo en Europa. Su lectura, por tanto, puede ayudar a conformar una idea no sólo de cuáles son, sino también de cómo se tratan de abordar en la actualidad, las cuestiones clave para poder afrontar con éxito el reto del desarrollo territorial sostenible. Para este objetivo, contextualizar la visión española en el marco europeo se demuestra no sólo útil sino también natural.
Download or read book Improving Quality of Life written by Ryan Merlin Yonk and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this volume provide a window into what influences the quality of life, why people live longer, and why we are relatively better off compared to decades ago. While the potential ways of measuring life quality are abundant, understanding what causes improvement requires careful study and consideration. This volume provides useful insight into these challenges and helps to highlight a clear and important separation between wellbeing and standard of living, both relevant to assessing the quality of life. Standard of living refers to the material welfare of a group. Wellbeing, on the other hand, encapsulates harder-to-measure subjective preferences. Together they help us to understand the quality of life of certain groups at specific times, and in specific communities.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.
