The last 15 years have shown major changes in migration flows. Migratory movements, registered and unregistered alike, have grown substantially compared to the past [Okolski, 1998]. Italy, together with the other new immigration countries of Southern Europe, has become one of the most important destination areas. The region of origin of the migration flows expanded because of new emigration countries (especially those of Central and East Europe) adding up to the existing ones [Cangiano, Strozza, 2007]. As a result, the overall range of immigrant populations in South-European regions is wider and more heterogeneous than in Central and Northern European destination areas. The foreign population assumed characteristics that differed – at least partly – from those recorded in the previous years. This was a consequence of the relevance of...

Moreover, the perception and estimation of both migrants and non-migrants are in like manner influenced by this multi-cultural environment (Buddhist Landscape). However, native and non-native people show a different recognition and understanding of temples as a result of their cultural background.

Th... more The Faro Convention1 underlined the importance of educational initiatives related to heritage. This paper focuses on the educational dimension of landscape, as a means to better facilitate its social acceptance and hence its inclusion in planning and management processes. The relation between landscape education and social perception, through a few European examples will be analysed to ascertain whether the principles of the Convention are being complied with effectively. The authors introduce four case studies of heritage-related education carried out in three European countries (Spain, Norway and Italy). These case studies provide the possibility to coherently analyse a wide range of activities and initiatives occurring at various scales and levels: geographic, local and sectoral. In addition, they describe the pedagogical potential of cultural landscapes and cultural heritage, and highlight some of the educational strategies and measures currently used in this field.

Space had to be shared, and some reserves of picturesque features were obtained from the industrialists, in exchange for a free hand in tourist development. The chapter analyses how the interplay of actors brings about this spatial partition. It shows the ambivalence of the discourse constructed to legitimise it. By looking in depth at the case of the protected site of Gavarnie, it sheds light on the nature of the social issues that were emerging as a background to this resistance to hydroelectricity in the landscape and shows how, through it, the power of an elite as an aesthetic authority, was imposed on communities in the mountain areas. The arrival around 1900 of the energy paradigm of hydroelectric power marked a decisive historical threshol...
