  • Designing Protected Areas for Social–Ecological Sustainability: Effectiveness of Management Guidelines for Preserving Cultural
    sustainability Article Designing Protected Areas for Social–Ecological Sustainability: Effectiveness of Management Guidelines for Preserving Cultural Landscapes Patricio Sarmiento-Mateos 1,*, Cecilia Arnaiz-Schmitz 2, Cristina Herrero-Jáuregui 1, Francisco D. Pineda 1 and María F. Schmitz 1 1 Department of Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution, Complutense University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (C.H-J.); [email protected] (F.D.P.); [email protected] (M.F.S.) 2 Social-ecological Systems Laboratory, Department of Ecology, Autonomous University of Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 April 2019; Accepted: 16 May 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: Rural cultural landscapes are social–ecological systems that have been shaped by traditional human land uses in a co-evolution process between nature and culture. Protected areas should be an effective way to protect cultural landscapes and support the way of life and the economy of the local population. However, nature conservation policymaking processes and management guidelines frequently do not take culturalness into account. Through a new quantitative approach, this paper analyzes the regulatory framework of two protected areas under different management categories, located in an ancient cultural landscape of the Madrid Region (Central Spain), to identify the similarities in their conservation commitments and the effectiveness of their zoning schemes. The results show some arbitrariness in the design and management of these parks, highlighting the importance of prohibited measures in their zoning schemes that encourage uses and activities more related to naturalness than to culturalness. The recognition of protected areas as cultural landscapes and their management considering both naturalness and culturalness issues are important methods of better achieving sustainable management objectives from a social–ecological approach.

In fact, it is the country that contributes the largest surface area to the Natura 2000 network and the one with the most Biosphere Reserves. In this context, it is not surprising that nature tourism should have grown far beyond that of conventional tourism in our country and registered an important increase in foreign visitors attracted to Spain by its natural resources. At this time the Madrid Region manages nine major Protected Natural Spaces that account for up to 15% of its territory. Among these spaces are em- blematic enclaves renowned the world over for their biodiversity, conservation and beauty. Madrid can feel rightly fortunate for having such diverse and ecologi- cally valuable expanses such as the Montejo Beech Forest, which was re- cently listed by UNESCO as a Natural World Heritage Site, the Guadarrama Mountain Range Natural Park, the Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve or the Picturesque Expanse of the Abantos Pine Forest and the Area of La Herrería, to mention just a few.

  • A Centennial Path Towards Sustainability in Spanish National Parks: Biodiversity Conservation and Socioeconomic Development (1918-2018)
    Chapter 8 A Centennial Path Towards Sustainability in Spanish National Parks: Biodiversity Conservation and Socioeconomic Development (1918-2018) DavidDavid Rodríguez-Rodríguez Rodríguez-Rodríguez and JavierJavier Martínez-Vega Martínez-Vega Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.73196 Abstract National Parks (NPs) were the first protected areas (PAs) designated in Spain one century ago. NPs are PAs of exceptional natural and cultural value that are representative of the Spanish natural heritage. Currently, there are 15 NPs in Spain covering almost 400,000 ha, although new site designations are being considered. Spanish NPs’ main objectives are closely linked to the sustainability concept: conserving natural and cultural assets in the long term and promoting public use, environmental awareness, research and socioeco- nomic development. Here, the history of modern nature conservation in Spain is sum- marized, with special focus on NPs. Moreover, the main monitoring and assessment initiatives in Spanish National Parks are reviewed. Finally, the major results of two cur- rent research projects focusing on the sustainability of Spanish NPs, DISESGLOB and SOSTPARK, are provided. Keywords: protected area, assessment, sustainable development, Spain, history 1. Introduction Places set aside to conserve natural resources such as forests, plants, animals (chiefly game animals) or waters have existed for centuries. European and Asian kings and noblemen estab- lished royal reserves or game reserves in their dominions. Those ‘reserves’ forbade or restricted access and use of resources to laymen for pleasure and enjoyment of the privileged, who were entrusted management and conservation of such sites.

  • GAST and POPP V. GERMANY Right to a Fair Trial – No Violation Article 6
    [] GAST and POPP v. GERMANY Right to a fair trial – no violation Article 6, Section 1 The duty to organise judicial systems in such a way that the courts can hear cases within a reasonable time applies also to a Constitutional Court. However its role as guardian of the Constitution makes it particularly necessary for a Constitutional Court sometimes to take into account other considerations than the mere chronological order in which cases are entered on the list, such as the nature of a case and its importance in political and social terms. Furthermore while Article 6 requires that judicial proceedings be expeditious, it also lays emphasis on the more general principle of the proper administration of justice. It was reasonable for the German Federal Constitutional Court to have grouped the applicants’ cases so as to obtain a comprehensive view of the legal issues arising from convictions of espionage and treason following German unification. In a judgment delivered on February in the case of Gast and Popp v. Germany, the European Court of Human Rights held unanimously that there had not been a violation of Article , Section (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights. This judgment is not final. Pursuant to Article , Section of the Convention, within three months from the date of the judgment of a Chamber, any party to the case may, in exceptional cases, request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber. 1. Principal facts The applicants, Gabriele Gast and Dieter Popp, are both German citizens. They were born in and and live in Neuried (Germany) and Bonn (Germany) respectively.
