Enabling cross-sectoral transformation for coastal climate adaptation in Europe: Four directions for interdisciplinary efforts
Open AccessKristof Tomej, Carla García-Lozano et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2026References: 4
Coastal areas in Europe are of immense value – not only to their residents but also to communities further inland. At the same time, they are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The current pace of coastal climate adaptation remains slow, constrained by underfunding and the fragmented, sectoral nature of many initiatives. This calls for radically new yet practical approaches. In this perspective, a group of European research…
Deconstructing Ecosystem Service Conflicts through the Prisms of Political Ecology and Game Theory in a North-Western Mediterranean River Basin
Open AccessEnrica Garau, Josep Pueyo-Ros et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2022
Power relationships, access and control, (in)equity, and (in)justice are key modulators of conflicts arising from ecosystem services between multiple stakeholders. A greater knowledge of stakeholder value systems and behaviors is crucial for understanding socioecological dynamics. We propose an analytical framework that combines political ecology and game theory to analyze water ecosystem services. This integrated framework was used to reinterpre…
How do the surrounding areas of national parks work in the context of landscape fragmentation? A case study of 159 protected areas selected in 11 EU countries
Open AccessMarta Kubacka, Patryk Żywica et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2022Cited by: 7References: 56
Europe has unique natural values but also has the highest level of ecosystem fragmentation. Evaluating the effectiveness of protected area management is becoming an increasingly common practice. Our main goal was to assess the dynamics of LULC changes in the buffer zones of 159 national parks in 11 selected European countries on the basis of the CORINE Land Cover database in the period from 1990 to 2018. We used five landscape metrics in order to…

Carrying Capacity as a Tourism Management Strategy in a Marine Protected Area: A Political Ecology Analysis
Open AccessAlbert Llausàs, Josep Vila-Subiros et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2019
Natural protected areas are often required to concurrently support conservation and tourism development. Estimating the ecosystem's carrying capacity and setting up visitor access limitations is a common approach in maximising resource use to avoid environmental degradation. Our research used a case study strategy and a political ecology approach to analyse the conflict surrounding a carrying capacity-based management plan implemented in a Medite…
Defining competences for future geography students in relation to low carbon societies
Jaume Feliu Torrent, Jaume Feliu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…2019References: 8
This paper presents the results of an analysis of the most important skills and competences that will be important in the coming years for future geographers involved in assessing and managing low-carbon societies. The analysed information was extracted from a questionnaire answered by professionals working in low-carbon management in three European countries (Finland, Poland and Catalonia, Spain). From the results, we have identified not only th…
A multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach to monitor landscape dynamics: A case study in the Catalan pre-Pyrenees (Spain)
Open AccessMarianne Cohen, Diego Vargas et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal2011Cited by: 2References: 48
A multi-scale and multi-disciplinary method was tested in the Catalan pre-Pyrenees in order to understand the relationship between landscape change, landscape processes, and ecological and social characteristics of landscapes. The three scales, and their corresponding methods, help us understand the processes of landscape change: on a general scale, a standardisation due to forest spread; on a detailed scale, a fragmentation of non-forest habitat…
