Protected areas in Europe have experienced considerable change with
regard to their objectives. While originally created as reserves
for beautiful landscapes and endangered species, they subsequently
were used as a means to preserve whole ecosystems, with
restrictions on human activities and impacts. More recently,
protected areas are being considered as instruments for regional
development, particularly in marginal regions that are facing
severe economic and socio-cultural problems. Contrary to previous
policies, where the focus was on conservation, new approaches aim
to integrate conservation and development functions, making
protected areas real 'living landscapes'. The policies attempt to
integrate activities such as agriculture, forestry, handicrafts,
tourism and education with the conservation and sustainability
aspects. The past decade has seen a noticeable increase of these
innovative and dynamic types of protected areas, such as Biosphere
reserves or regional parks. However, the policies of individual
European countries regarding protected areas is very varied, with
some adopting these new policies and others much more traditional
in approach.On top of this, EU regional policy needs to be
considered. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the
relation between protected areas and regional development policies,
both in theory and practice. Illustrated with a wide range of case
studies from across Europe, it compares different concepts,
strategies and instruments being used. In conclusion, it suggests
the most innovatives and successful ways to use protected areas for
regeneration and sustainable regional development.
