La custodia del territorio como instrumento complementario para la protección de los espacios naturales

Abstract

La presente nota analiza la evolución normativa de la custodia del territorio como estrategia complementaria de protección de los espacios naturales caracterizada por las notas de participación y voluntariedad y que goza de una creciente vitalidad y posibilidades de futuro. En especial, se trata de subrayar la evolución de los mecanismos de protección que, si bien descansaban en el ejercicio unilateral de potestades administrativas, de modo creciente se orientan a estrategias acordadas con los sectores interesados y afectados, como modo de conseguir mayor apoyo social y colaboración de los particulares en la consecución de los fines de interés general, en este caso, la utilización racional de los recursos naturales, la garantía del derecho a disfrutar de un medio ambiente adecuado y el más cabal cumplimiento de los deberes de protección.

The Effects of Tourism on Local Development in Protected Nature Areas: The Case of Three Nature Parks of Sierra Morena (Andalusia, Spain)

“…However, there is no direct relationship between waste generation and the number of tourist places, except in the case of SAPA, where certain correspondence can be attributed to second homes. However, the interviewees related this problem to the economic dimension (collection, transportation and processing costs) [118], not to the environmental issues derived from it. The waste of water in a Mediterranean climate with cyclical droughts is a crucial impact [119], and in an increasingly arid context [112], is highlighted only by one NtP director (Int08), who associated it with swimming pools with tourist accommodation, especially during summer.…”

Conservation and Education in Spanish Geoparks: Exploratory Analysis of Land Stewardship Experiences and Valuation Proposal through Outdoor Education

“…And in the Courel Mountains, mountain landscapes with various rock formations stand out: sedimentary rocks, such as slate, quartzite, and sandstone, and igneous rocks, such as granite and rhyolite. [19,26,27]. Although, at present, it is the areas regulated under some legal protection figure that focus the attention of administrations and public opinion, some enclaves are being managed by civil society through complementary conservation mechanisms and strategies, which are successfully contributing to the safeguarding of natural and cultural heritage [28,29].…”

However, water consumption is not exclusively related to tourism in the area, yet it exceeds the regional average in winter and summer (Figure 10), which must be associated with the doubling of the population due to second homesespecially in SAPA-and the efficiency of the supply networks.…”
