Preindustrial era agro-sylvopastoral land uses have influenced structure, function and disturbance in Mediterranean type mountainous landscapes for millennia. In this study we analyze through semi-structured interviews, stakeholder perceptions of coupled human and natural system (CHANS) community resilience in one such landscape; the municipality o...

Our research provides evidence that critical junctures in coupled human and natural systems may stimulate the undertaking of sustainability transition actions in biosphere reserves (BRs). Specifically, we explored whether BRs bolster community resilience, defined according to eight parameters identified in disaster management theory. We found that,...

El Proyecto 'Escultura de Eduardo Chillida Montaña de Tindaya (Isla de Fuerteventura)' supone una imiportante referencia cultural para ofrecer una alternativa al modelo turístico de Fuerteventura, actualmente deficiente ambiental y culturalmente. Para su ejecución debe disponer de un Plan Especial y una Evaluación Ambiental Estratégica de un territ...

The analysis of the relationships between landscape visual quality and landscape structural properties is an active area of environmental perception research. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between landscape spatial pattern and the rating of visual aesthetic quality. Eight landscape photographs were evaluated for 11 visual...

The assessment of management effectiveness in protected areas, i.e., the evaluation of whether management strategies are actually helping to achieve stated goals, is becoming a priority. In any such evaluation, accurate information concerning the dynamics of the managed system is required-information that is gathered through monitoring. Few protect...

La transformación del paisaje mediterráneo de Chile Central comienza a plantearse en la sociedad como una prioridad en todas sus dimensiones y funcione. Se consideran no sólo sus factores ecológicos, sociales, económicos sino también culturales, escénicos y afectivos. Se ha sugerido la percepción del paisaje como una pieza significativa para empren...

This paper presents a diagnostic framework for evaluating landscapes. The basic premise for this framework is the existence of community values of any landscape and not only landscapes selected in terms of conservation or any other functionality. Land cover data are especially targeted as input source, since they are relatively unbiased in terms of...

The parameters referring to landscape structure are essential in any evaluation for conservation because of the relationship that exists between the landscape structure and the ecological processes. This paper presents a study of the relationships between landscape structure and species diversity distribution (estimated in terms of richness of bird...

In order to study the influence of the interaction between visual and acoustic stimuli on perception of the environment, 36 sound and image combinations were presented to 75 subjects. The sounds and images used were of natural and semi-natural settings and urban green space. Affective response was measured in terms of pleasure. The results show a r...

Analysis of landscape preferences of visitors to protected areas is considered a useful tool in designing environmental education programmes. This paper studies the landscape preferences of visitors to the Doñana National Park, one of the most internationally well-known national parks in Spain. Despite the park's popularity, its landscapes do not c...

The combination of eye tracking and factor analysis has allowed us to identify some characteristic patterns in natural landscape observation by different subjects. In this paper the patterns of visual exploration of a colour landscape photograph are compared. The most important patterns or styles of observation were as follows. 1.1. A general scann...

The distribution of visitors in a protected natural area was studied by sampling in 19 transects, each beginning at a popular parking place. At each point, the number of people, environmental variables and descriptors of impacts due to leisure activity were noted. Through stepwise regression, a recreational use model based on environmental descript...

The analysis of preferences for combinations of four sounds and eight visual landscapes revealed that the sound and not the visual component dominated the patterns of preference. This is attributed to the more varied nature of the sounds in comparison with the relatively homogenous quality of the visual scenes shown. The affective role of sound in...

During the 1970s, intense educational revival movements (MRPs) were started in Spain. Summer schools attracted tens of thousands of teachers around a core of modernising teaching, a revival of educational trends which at the start of the century had been oriented towards 'new schooling and in Spain had such notable outcomes as the Institucion Libre...

The environmental preferences of 11 to 14 year old children were studied by employing a collection of photograph pairs related to two themes, ‘environmental activities of children’ and ‘landscapes’. The photographs were taken randomly from a general stock of slides and were then chosen by an automatic process of recurrent test cycles and the system...

Los cambios en el paisaje de la Comunidad de Madrid pueden afectar en gran medida a la capacidad de dispersión de las especies, amenazando la conservación de la integridad ecológica y la conectividad funcional de la red de espacios naturales. Los elementos lineales del paisaje tienen un papel fundamental en la conectividad por sus funciones de corr...
