During a time of intensifying competition for land, Protected Areas (PAs) are coming under increasing pressure to justify their status. Positive local attitudes PA potentially important component any such justification, especially in the developing world where human on natural resources is often high. However, despite numerous studies our understanding what drives positive PAs still exceedingly limited. Here, we review literature towards countries. Our survey reveals highly fragmented...
In Brazil most forms of hunting and keeping wild animals are illegal, although they remain widely practiced deeply culturally embedded in many regions. The drivers such widespread non-compliance poorly understood evidence to support future policy decisions is generally lacking. this paper, we seek stimulate a critical debate on how deal with by analysing the main factors driving current legislation. This particularly timely given that several amendments existing legislation currently under...
Addressing cumulative effects (CE) has been widely recognized as a key purpose of strategic environmental assessment (SEA). In EU member states, the CE in SEA is prescribed by Directive. This paper investigates whether and how are currently treated Italian English spatial plans. based on results (1) questionnaire survey (2) systematic review reports local regional It found that, opposite to what even some experts think, while remain unsatisfactorily addressed, there ample space for improving...
Predicting the environmental effects of spatial plans is made harder by uncertainties affecting future evolution planning region. Decisions contained in sectoral policies play a significant role, hence they need to be properly considered Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) planning. A method support SEA, based on comparison land use zoning options, under different policies, developed and tested peri-urban region Milan. Land scenarios are generated then assessed against set indicators....

Establishing Protected Areas (PAs) is considered one of the most appropriate ways to conserve nature and cultural landscapes. However, conservation constraints can generate social conflicts, especially at a local level. In small islands (SIs), conflicts may escalate due an increase in competition for limited space resources. Pico island Azores Archipelago (Portugal), part Outermost European region, was good case study conservation-development amount designated protected land (> 35% its...
Small Islands face particular challenges in their sustainable development, and therefore require specific tailored approaches for planning management.Unsurprisingly, protected areas have a special role the conservation of biodiversity natural resources crucial to sustainability such territories.How should management system small islands be, therefore, structured operated so it can threats falling upon already fragile vulnerable insular ecosystems?This is central question SMARTPARKS...
In August 2019, the Northeast coast of Brazil was impacted by an extensive oil spill, with immediate effects on marine and coastal ecosystems significant impacts tourism food security. The human dimension those also includes loss cultural ecosystem services (CES); non-material benefits stemming from strongly rooted practices relationships nature. CES are great importance for local residents visitors that flock to Brazilian iconic beaches, however, they difficult measure using traditional...
Strategic environmental Assessment (SEA) is a decision support instrument for predicting and evaluating the likely effects of implementing policy, plan or programme. SEA can consider cumulative impacts more than one project activity on same environmen- tal component. This paper discusses analysis in SEA, with reference to spatial planning by: providing review key concepts methods related literature; presenting rationale inclusion plans; advancing proposal address different stages. The...
SUMMARY Private protected areas (PPAs) are a board category that includes reserves established and managed by non-government entities, including civil society organizations, businesses private individuals. It was recently suggested the creation of system PPAs in Brazil may act as useful model for extending area systems internationally. While it is clear RPPNs have an important role to play future development Brazil's system, there several significant challenges need be overcome if they...
