  • Smart, Sustainable, Inclusive
    Continuing previous meetings: Forum Carpaticum 2010 (Krakow, Poland), Forum Carpaticum 2012 (Stará Lesná, Slovakia), Forum Carpaticum 2014 (Lviv, Ukraine), Forum Carpaticum 2016 (Bucharest, Romania) addresses the need to make a bridge of smart sustainable development in the Carpathians with scientists, stakeholders, institutions, NGOs, communities. The Carpathian Region – the Green Backbone of Europe – faces many opportunities as well as challenges to the future development of the area. The stakeholders, decision makers and research communities can use them wisely for the enhanced protection and sustainable development of the Carpathians. These overall goals meet well with the EU 2020 Cohesion Policy, which proposes “Smart”, “Sustainable” and “Inclusive” to be the keywords when addressing the main priorities for the near future. Forum Carpaticum 2016 „Future of the Carpathians: Smart, Sustainable, Inclusive“ proposes to concentrate on these priorities and to debate how they can be implemented in the Carpathian Region, during the following main thematic sessions: Smart Carpathians session aims to present and discuss the leading edge achievements in: recent and future information and communication technologies; emerging paradigms and methodological developments; front-rank research infrastructures, capacities and innovations; open knowledge, information and data systems applications, in particular those of Carpathian interest. Sustainable Carpathians is expected to cover the topics that consider: climate change adaptation, risk prevention

  • Network 2013
    NETWORK 2013 Summer Survey of Jackals’ Habitat in RAMSAR Units, SE Romania REPORT Time: 17th to 21st of July 2013 Location: Comana Natural Park Reserve and Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, South Romania Called by: Ovidiu Banea, Ecology Department of Crispus NGO Sibiu Romania RESULTS I. Agenda Topics 1. To break (disclose) SKUANature objectives and schedule broader activities if available in Periprava area, Danube Delta. Share tourism destinations and build future eco-trekking programs. Pictures instead of bullets! A welcomed initiative of Skua Nature Ecotourism and Ultima Frontiera Hotel and Touristic Complex in Periprava, RAMSAR, Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Near Periprava is located the most beautiful and high standards hotel in Danube Delta, Ultima Frontiera. At the beginning of 2013, Stefano an Italian GOJAGE send us the most beautiful photos of jackals ever made in Romania. These photos of wildlife were made at Periprava on the wildlife observatory installed by SKUA Nature ecotourism organization. An Italian tourism entrepreneur was chosen by Hotelul ULTIMA FRONTIERA to optimize the wildlife tourism into the most remote area of the Romanian Danube Delta, Periprava. At the beginning, Crispus NGO lodged a complaint to the same SKUA Nature due to the apparent inadequate wildlife stimulation and human intrusism into ecological network of jackals. If we analyze all our reports since 2008 together with Giannatos WWF report in Greece, Lapini updated review to 2011 or Szabo-Heltai-Lanszki work to Jackal versus livestock we can easy find that jackals are human dependent and that this mammal changes easy its behavior to fight for eat. In the case of wildlife observatory we cannot talk of predation but yes we can see valuable scene of competition between different top level predators or scavengers as the White-tailed Eagle , Haliaeetus albicilla, jackals Canis aureus or Corvidae.

The multitude of factors interfering in the process of image formation and the way in which they act in a unique combination, similar to a genetic code for a consumer, influences the image study of a tourism destination in the direction of becoming a complex process. In the marketing activity of each destination, the analysis of the importance of destination’s resources represents an essential step, however, as the multifaceted tourism product presents (in combination with, as well as through other policies – price, distribution etc.) a strong diversification, the distinction between the real, objective situation of the destination’s resources and the lack of their communication, on the one hand, and the distinction between the real situation and the way in which the resources are “presented” (in the direction of maximising or minimising them), on 8 Aurelia-Felicia Stăncioiu, Andreea Botoș, Mihai Orzan, Ion Pârgaru, Octavian Arsene the other hand, can constitute

  • From Geomorphosite Evaluation to Geotourism Interpretation
    GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, Year VI, no. 2, vol. 12, November 2013, pp. 145-162 ISSN 2065-0817, E-ISSN 2065-1198 Article no. 12107-128 FROM GEOMORPHOSITE EVALUATION TO GEOTOURISM INTERPRETATION. CASE STUDY: THE SPHINX OF ROMANIA’S SOUTHERN CARPATHIANS Irina-Maria NECHEŞ* University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography, Department of Human and Economic Geography, 1 Nicolae Bălcescu Blvd, 010041, Bucharest, Romania; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Geomorphosites are commonly regarded as landforms that are mainly defined by their scientific value. Prior to assuming the existence of a “geomorphosite”, however, the scientific value of landforms must be determined. The study comprises three major steps. The first of them implies the identification and classification of the intrinsic geo(morpho)logical characteristics of landforms, some of which are readily identifiable and quantifiable by tourists and scientists alike, whereas others are noticeable and deducible only by scientists. The second step employs a numerical methodology for assessing the scientific value of landforms which, once ascertained, also acquires a significant educational importance for geotourism. The third step and final goal is the development of a logical scheme for the scientific interpretation of a geomorphosite’s origin and evolution and its brief application on the most representative of the erosional landforms on the Bucegi plateau of Romania’s Southern Carpathians – the Sphinx. Key words: geomorphosites, landforms, intrinsic characteristics, geotourism, interpretation, the Sphinx, Southern Carpathians * * * * * * INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF GEOMORPHOSITES. A BRIEF HISTORY OF RESEARCH Large-scale tourism practices around the world determine a progressive overflowing and degradation of natural areas. One of the early measures undertaken in order to limit the negative impact of mass tourism was the establishment of protected natural areas and natural monuments, and the foundation of national parks and reserves.

Involving collaboration among specialist practitioners dedicated to supporting better implementation of ideas in the field, the Guidelines distil learning and advice drawn from across IUCN. Applied in the field, they build institutional and individual capacity to manage protected area systems effectively, equitably and sustainably, and to cope with the myriad of challenges faced in practice. The Guidelines also assist national governments, protected area agencies, non-governmental organisations, communities and private sector partners in meeting their commitments and goals, and especially the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Programme of Work on Protected Areas. A full set of guidelines is available at: www.iucn.org/pa_guidelines Complementary resources are available at: www.cbd.int/protected/tools/ Contribute to developing capacity for a Protected Planet at: www.protectedplanet.net/ IUCN PROTECTED AREA DEFINITION, MANAGEMENT CATEGORIES AND GOVERNANCE TYPES IUCN defines a protected area as: A clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. The definition is expanded by six management categories (one with a sub-division), summarized below.
