This book explores the opportunities offered by Strategic Environmental Assessment in the context of guaranteeing the synchronized integration of landscape (in all its aspects) within urban plans, thereby helping to overcome the constraints of rigidly framed, sector-focused laws and a purely aesthetic concept of landscape. In pursuit of this goal, various scholars have previously attempted to construct arrays of indicators relating to the different conceptions of “landscape”. This book critically examines the most complete proposals of this nature, systematizing and comparing them and, finally, offering some guidelines with respect to their codification within specific application protocols. After opening chapters exploring the origins of the problem and analysing the European normative frame for Strategic Environmental Assessment, two case studies are described and discussed. A model is then presented for the evaluation of the effects of urban plans on landscape, including in cultural and perceptual terms. The author demonstrates that, when suitably employed, Strategic Environmental Assessment can indeed facilitate the integration of environmental, economic, and social sustainability into urban planning.

The process of globalization based on major forms of entertainment consumption has promoted the interest of enlarged social actors toward cultural experiencing. Disseminated by social media, new forms of information and knowledge about exotic tourism destinations have endorsed an increasing interest in forms of cultural tourism. This cultural tourism turnout results from a significant change in the traveler’s demands and behaviors and has led to a new and renovated interest in cultural heritage that must be studied further. The Handbook of Research on Cultural Tourism and Sustainability explores theoretical concepts related to cultural tourism and cultural routes and provides original viewpoints and empirical research with case studies and best practices for the future of cultural tourism. Covering a range of topics such as creative tourism and sustainable tourism, this major reference work is ideal for academicians, practitioners, professionals, policymakers, government officials, instructors, and students.

El arte rupestre desempeña un papel especial como actor privilegiado dentro de las estrategias sociales de construcción y (re)producción de la realidad socialmente construida. Para su estudio hay soluciones posibles. Pero todas ellas se tienen que pegar al análisis contextual, al formal, al comparativismo. Estas son las vías que exploran los trabajos del presente Volumen, donde se reúnen una serie de aportaciones de investigadores de diferentes países que abordan el problema del arte rupestre desde distintas perspectivas, pero que tienen en común tres puntos: (I) reconocimiento de la importancia de los aspectos teóricos para el estudio y entendimiento del arte rupestre, (II) desarrollo de metodologías formales, sean cuantitativas o cualitativas, y (III) comprensión del arte rupestre como un elemento activo en los procesos sociales contingentes en sus momentos históricos.

Durante tales workshop, con una duración de cuatro semanas, los alumnos y docentes del Master afrontan, en terreno, en colaboración con el Centro de Desarrollo Local e Interculturalidad (CEDEL) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (socio propuslor de la experiencia), las administraciones locales, las instituciones y las comunidades locales, prácticas sobre problemáticas concretas.El presente libro ilustra la 3ra experiencia aplicada de la 4ta edición del curso (a.a. 2011-2012) centrada en la creación de redes de tres Comunas (Villarrica, Pucón y Curarrehue) situadas en la Cuenca del Lago Villarrica en la Región de la Araucanía, Chile, donde se encuentran fuertes elementos sociales, económicos y ambientales, pero que carece de políticas integradas de desarrollo capaces de incluir activamente a las comunidades locales y direccionar al territorio hacia un modelo de desarrollo sostenible. El trabajo desarrollado representa la primera etapa de un proyecto estimulación territorial de tres años.
