Thème : Espaces protégés comme outils pour le développement régional
Dates : 13 au 15 octobre 2011
Lieu : Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, Parc Naturel Régional de la Chartreuse, Alpes françaises
Présentation :
Protected areas like national parks, biosphere reserves, UNESCO world heritage sites and
regional nature parks next to nature and landscape protection in a narrow sense for
the most part have also other functions, e.g. in the field of environmental education, sustainable use of natural resources, marketing of local quality products or promotion of nature based tourism. According to recent research protected areas can make various contributions to regional development by their existence and activities. Protected areas are even increasingly seen as virtual catalysts or even motors for regional development. However, this view implicates risks due to the latent danger of nature and landscape protection on the one hand and regional development on the other hand being played off against each other and hence blocking each other. Therefore one objective should be creating synergies between protection and use – that is, enable sustainable regional development.
The workshop addresses the state of the art as well as gaps in research and perspectives of
future research indicated by the present debate about the integration of nature and landscape protection and regional development in protected areas and their adjacent regions. What are major findings of recent research, what are obvious research gaps and what are essential challenges for future research ? – Researchers and appointees for research of protected areas as well as practitioners discuss and mutually identify themes and focal points for future research.
