Deterioration of unprotected landscapes during swift industrialization, urbanization, increasing monocultures in agriculture, expansion of commercial production significantly contributed to these negative consequences. However, a cultural shift occurred during the last two decades in favour of landscape conservation. In response to widespread landscape degradation and loss of ecosystem services, the Council of Europe saw the need to protect, manage, and develop the landscapes, and thus signed the European Landscape Convention (ELC) in 2000. This was the world's first international agreement that described all aspects of landscape management in detail. The European Landscape Convention fully meets the challenges through its goal of correcting a lack of understanding of landscapes as a unique system embrac...

However, these developments have numerous inherent environmental hazards such as water and air pollution, a loss of habitats, increased coastal erosion, the transfer of invasive species between connected watercourses and lakes, and the transport of pollutants through watercourses to coastal areas. Climate change may aggravate these environmental problems through changing temperatures, reduced precipitation, enhancing the adverse impact of excess nutrient discharge, and the entry of invasive species. In this study, we analyse the main European inland waterway corridors and their branches to assess the ecological viability of a pan-European inland waterway network. The environmental viability of such network depends on the right assessment of ecosystem services and protection of biodiversi...

Therefore, sustainable management of ecosystem services, the processes by which the changing environment produces resources, is essential particularly for those touristic destinations, which are located in ecologically sensitive areas. Conservation strategies, integrating the preserved natural and cultural values are essential for sustainable tourism and maintenance of touristic destinations in order to prevent overexploitation. We propose an ecosystem-centred holistic management structure for rural landscapes, which will enable regional planning strategists and tourism managers to protect rural touristic destinations from overexploitation and planning touristic business volumes according to the carrying capacity of these destinations in an economically feasible way. This includes reg...

The Works history dates back to the end of 18th century, first as iron works and later turned into a paper mill. In the 1970s the Works went bankrupt and was left more or less unattended until the mid 1990s, when local initiatives led to the present situation where a group of artisans and craftsmen together with a fish hatchery, selling of recycled building materials, and a small jeans designing company are established in the former industrial buildings. The volume thus in use corresponds roughly to c. 60% of the total building stock at the site. In the parts not in use, we find some key topics in the development of paper milling, such as groundwood pulp grinders with rotating stones, (hollandare), paper machine from 1906, and dating from 1948 as the first sulphate pape...

Tourists are increasingly interested in visiting unspoiled viticultural locations and consuming healthy wines, which encourage vintners to apply ecologically sustainable practices and expand their business with touristic facilities. As the environmental knowledge of wine-consumers increases, their changing attitudes influence the producers perceptions of the environmental policies, product structures, branding and marketing strategies of vintners. Sustainable consumption is based on a number of decision-making processes regarding the social responsibility of consumers. One possible opportunity of incorporating environmental responsibility in planning wine consumption and tourism is targeted marketing towards consumers interested in protecting the environment and reducing t...

The paper argues for more flexible and dynamic heritage practices able to integrate emotively and cognitively based perspectives. The turn-over of an industrial site into heritage therefore might be seen as a statement with the potential to address a number of contemporary issues and thus fulfil important tasks in the continued development of society.

In order to promote democratic development and solidarity the ideal would be to create community centers with full service. Community centers are part of the building of the suburbs during the postwar period. The buildings in Sweden from 1940 - and -50s were built with the intentions to be good homes for all regardless of income, class and status. Collective solutions to individual problems were characteristic of the Swedish policy during this time. "The Swedish model" was acclaimed internationally and the spirit of cooperation among trade unions, entrepreneurs, cooperatives and state influenced the model. Four structures were established and provided the foundation for neighbourhood planning: 1. the state housing policy, 2. the increasing local control over planning and construction, 3. functionalism as an architectural style, 4. n...

Both parties are recently developed and established and although they share some principal concerns on sustainable development of landscapes, there are also some basic differences. The ecomuseum relies primarily on bottom-up processes and approaches providing a joint platform for local and individual initiatives for safeguarding and developing resources to be found in the geographical area. A broadly defined stakeholder perspective is essential for the functionality of the ecomuseum. The landscape observatory on the other hand stems from a top-down perspective aiming at replacing so-called ‘silo planning’ with more horizontal approaches bringing different stakeholders together within a neutral space for balancing different option...
