Spatial patterns of bark beetle–induced pine mortality on a Mediterranean island: Implications for forest impact assessment
A holistic approach to assessing visitor numbers on protected Natura 2000 beaches: The case of Western Peloponnese, Greece
Expanding on visitor carrying capacity estimations, this study developed a tailored approach to determine the maximum daily visitation numbers for twelve beaches within the Natura 2000 network on the western coast of Peloponnese, Greece. The methodology includes spatial delineation of beach sections for seasonal use, integration of environmental and social parameters and compliance with the national legislation for the evaluation of various carry…
Using perceived impacts, governance and social indicators to explain support for protected areas
Protected areas (PAs) are the foremost policy tool for biodiversity conservation internationally. In order for PAs to deliver desired conservation outcomes effectively, equitably, and for the long-term, they require a high level of support from local communities. A mosaic of factors have been proposed aiming to explain the level of support for PAs focusing mainly on governance indicators, perceived social impacts and social attributes, such as pe…
Exploring local public support for protected areas: What social factors influence stated and active support among local people
This paper explores local public support for nature protected areas (PAs) to identify primary social factors explaining support. The model was built and tested using survey data collected from approximately 2300 individuals living inside or near six Protected Areas in five different European countries using both face-to-face and online methods. Results show that perceived social impacts are a key and consistent predictor of the level of stated su…
Social impacts of European Protected Areas and policy recommendations
Effective designation of Protected Areas (PAs) requires the careful consideration of their social impacts as these are perceived by people. These refer to a variety of issues such as the distribution of power, social equity, social relations and more importantly the impact of PAs on human wellbeing. A number of studies have emerged in the past decade aiming to capture social impacts of PAs across the world through non-monetary assessments taking …
The role of location and social impacts of protected areas on subjective wellbeing
Beneficial impacts on wellbeing levels of communities living near Protected Areas (PAs) is a key factor for meeting biodiversity conservation targets. Recent studies suggest that the proximity of communities to a PA influence to a significant extent their wellbeing levels. This paper explores further this argument by analysing data from approximately 800 respondents living inside or near four PAs of international importance in Greece. A Bayesian …
Exploring the role of local community perceptions in sustainability measurements
Measuring sustainability is an integral part of decision-making processes in order to promote sustainable development. The present paper focuses on sustainability indicators as these are measured on local level and explores two main issues: firstly, the subjective measurement of indicators focusing especially on social dimensions of sustainability, secondly, the incorporation of local perceptions in sustainability assessments. These two issues ar…
Understanding perceptions of the social impacts of protected areas: Evidence from three Natura 2000 sites in Greece
Improving social impact assessment of protected areas: A review of the literature and directions for future research
Exploring perceptions on participatory management of Natura 2000 forest sites in Greece
Investigating knowledge and perceptions of citizens of the National Park of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece
The designation and management of protected areas (PAs) is a challenging task significantly influenced by numerous parameters, both economic and social. In this paper, these issues are explored by means of an empirical survey in a PA of international importance in Greece: the National Park of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (NPEMT). In particular, the survey explored the knowledge and perceptions of different interest groups concerning environmental…
