Book Description
El libro va destinado a todos aquellos agentes que intervengan en el desarrollo rural, planificadores públicos del estado, la Comunidad Autónoma o los ayuntamientos, empresarios, gestores de cooperativas o Grupos de Acción Local, y sobre todo a los técnicos que se encargan de los estudios, proyectos y ejecución de las obras. Se pone en sus manos una herramienta que pretende tener una gran utilidad práctica, pues va orientada a actuaciones concretas. Se parte de un marco legislativo y de aprovechamiento de oportunidades que tiene un carácter supranacional, dentro de los objetivos de desarrollo rural para toda Europa. En este marco se analizan los métodos de valoración del paisaje existentes y se propone uno elaborado por los autores especialmente adaptado al paisaje rural. Entre las técnicas más modernas de obtención de datos del paisaje están las imágenes de satélite, por lo que se dedica un capítulo a este tema. Dado que el paisaje rural es un conjunto en el que ocupa un lugar destacado la herencia cultural y las construcciones populares, se dedica un capítulo a este tema. Dado que el paisaje rural es un conjunto en el que ocupa un lugar destacado la herencia cultural y las construcciones populares, se dedica un capítulo a proponer la forma más adecuada de su estudio para completar la visión del espacio sobre el que se ha de actuar. Las actividades de desarrollo llevan aparejada la intervención humana en los paisajes, a través de diferentes obras y construcciones. En esta publicación se presentan los trabajos realizados por los autores en el sentido de minimizar la agresión al paisaje de estas obras. Se dedican capítulos a las formas de integración de las construcciones y a los criterios de diseño para las obras lineales y las edificaciones. Se propone una metodología informática para localización de las obras e intervenciones que tiene en cuenta los criterios de localización espacial de la planificación y ordenación del territorio e incorpora el impacto visual como criterio adicional, basándose en la utilización de Sistemas de Información Geográfica. Finalmente se termina el libro con una exposición de los procedimientos de asistencia a la toma de decisiones usando criterios múltiples que son de aplicación esencial en las actividades de desarrollo que incidan en el paisaje.

Renewable Energies and European Landscapes
Author: Marina Frolova
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401798435
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book provides timely, multidisciplinary cross-national comparison of the institutional and social processes through which renewable energy landscapes have emerged in Southern Europe. On the basis of case studies in these countries, it analyzes the way in which and the extent to which the development of renewable energies has affected landscape forms and whether or not it has contributed to a reformulation of landscape practices and values in these countries. Landscape is conceived broadly, as a material, social, political and historical process embedded into the local realm, going beyond aesthetic. The case studies analyze renewable energy landscapes in Southern Europe on different political and geographical scales and compare different types of renewable energy such as wind, hydro, solar and biomass power. The contributors are leading experts from Spain, France, Italy and Portugal. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and professionals interested in geography, landscape and planning.

Spanish Tourism Geographies
Author: Asunción Blanco-Romero
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031397800
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
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.

Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management
Author: Eugenio Martinez-Falero
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466569247
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 627
Book Description
Forest management has evolved from a mercantilist view to a multi-functional one that integrates economic, social, and ecological aspects. However, the issue of sustainability is not yet resolved. Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management brings together global research in three areas of application: inventory of the forest variables that determine the main environmental indices, description and design of new environmental indices, and the application of sustainability indices for regional implementations. The book outlines a public participatory process to assess sustainability in forest management. It explores a new approach that links human and natural systems, reconsiders our interdependence with the diversity of life, and recognizes our role in a unique and complex system. The book also identifies quantitative indices that provide a vast amount of information on soil, landscape, and ecological functioning. It highlights the importance of these indices for public information programs on participatory processes and provides an operating procedure to identify the degree of convergence in the utility of multiple evaluators. The last chapter describes a downloadable computer application that integrates the techniques explained in the book. Users accessing the application are offered a map representing their preferred forest management plan in the study zone. They are also given a map with the results of their corresponding community of evaluators, including the numerical and qualitative data for both. The system stores a record of the visit, including the visitor's profile and responses, to progress towards the joint forest management plan. The quantitative techniques highlighted in this book create the basis for the development of scientific methodologies of participatory sustainable forest management. It details the methodology for the design of a forest management plan that best suits a specific preference system.

Beyond restoration ecology: social perspectives in Latin America and the Caribbean
Author: Eliane Ceccon & Daniel Roberto Pérez
Publisher: Eliane Ceccon
ISBN: 9879132556
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration is under construction and that this discipline can be a significant tool to empower local populations, which might, in turn, lead to a collective action of change. Case studies from 11 countries of the region were compiled, involving multiple voices that emerge beyond generalist principles and with a bottom-up approach. The main idea of the book is to open a debate about the identity of ecological and social restoration in this region. This book is targeted to restoration specialists, volunteers, environmental managers, researchers, politicians and NGOs working on the complexity of socioecological restoration in a region with unavoidable social problems. It is intended for people with similar concerns to those of the chapters' authors. This work tries to integrate a movement on the rise, almost silent, born with its own narratives of successes and failures that do not hinder its development. Finally, the determination and commitment of Latin-American and Caribbean social actors to restore not only natural values but also social, ethical and cultural ones is remarkable.

ISBN: 9533073810
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
This book has emerged as a consequence of the difficulties we experienced in finding information when we first started researching. The goal was to produce a book where as many existing studies as possible could be presented in a single volume, making it easy for the reader to compare methods, results and conclusions. As a result, studies from countries such as Thailand, Spain, Sweden, Lithuania, Czech, Mexico, etc. have been brought together as individual chapters, and references to studies from other countries have been included in the overview chapters where possible. We believe that this opportunity to compare results from different countries will open a new perspective on the subject, allowing the typical characteristics of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food to be seen more clearly. Finally, we would like to thank the contributing authors and the staff at InTech for their efforts and cooperation during the course of publication. I sincerely hope that this book will help researchers and students all over the world to reach new results in the field of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food.
