About this book

Language: Spanish

Conceived as paradigms of sustainability, protected areas have as their priority the conservation of biodiversity. But the processes that threaten these natural spaces are diverse and varied: their fragmentation due to the expansion of urban areas and the construction of road infrastructures, their insular nature, climate change, forest fires, the increase in public use, the overexploitation of aquifers, the deterioration of water quality or the depletion of fishery resources. Over time, the environmental uses of these areas has been extended to incorporate new functions of a social nature (linked to the improvement in the quality of life, education and health of local populations), economic (a centralized role in the creation and maintenance of employment and increase of per capita income), and institutional (to seek participatory and representative governance). Together with the environmental dimension, this book provides an original and complementary socio-economic approach, with which to globally evaluate the sustainability of these spaces and their diversity, as well as the effects that the declaration of protected areas in Spain has had. In this way, it offers a solid base to reinforce the collaboration between researchers and territorial planners, managers of protected areas and public decision-makers to guide sustainable territorial management.

Summary in Spanish:
Concebidas como paradigmas de la sostenibilidad, las áreas protegidas tienen como objetivo prioritario la conservación de la biodiversidad. Pero son diversos y variados los procesos que amenazan a estos espacios naturales: su fragmentación por la expansión de las zonas urbanas y la construcción de infraestructuras viarias, su aislamiento, el cambio climático, los incendios forestales, el incremento del uso público, la sobreexplotación de acuíferos, el deterioro de la calidad del agua o el agotamiento de los recursos pesqueros. Con el tiempo, la consideración ambiental de dichas áreas se ha ido ampliando hasta incorporar nuevas funciones de tipo social (vinculadas a la mejora de la calidad de vida, de la educación y la salud de las poblaciones locales), económico (centradas en la creación y mantenimiento de empleo y el incremento de la renta per cápita) e institucional (con las que se pretende alcanzar una gobernanza participativa y representativa). Junto con la dimensión ambiental, esta obra aporta un enfoque socioeconómico, original y complementario, con el que se propone evaluar globalmente la sostenibilidad de estos espacios y su diversidad, así como los efectos que ha tenido la declaración de áreas protegidas en España. De este modo, ofrece una sólida base para reforzar la colaboración entre investigadores y planificadores territoriales, gestores de áreas protegidas y decisores públicos para orientar una gestión territorial sostenible.
