El Informe se ha dividido en tres capítulos además de un Resumen Ejecutivo, en el que se sintetizan las principales conclusiones del mismo. El primer capítulo expone una aproximación a la situación de la sostenibilidad local en su vertiente urbana a través de un sistema de indicadores aplicados a las capitales de provincia como conjunto representativo. El segundo aborda la situación de la sostenibilidad local en su vertiente rural, ofreciendo un conjunto de indicadores que se complementan con una muestra seleccionada de diez zonas piloto suficientemente representativas. El tercero y último capítulo trata las interacciones urbanas-rurales en un marco de sostenibilidad territorial, explicando la necesidad de establecer un nuevo diálogo campo-ciudad, y los requerimientos que ello implica, a fin de proponer algunas herramientas para una nueva estrategia territorial integrada. El análisis de la sostenibilidad local intenta poner en evidencia la necesidad de desarrollar un enfoque territorial que integre los distintos territorios urbano, rural y los espacios intermedios, lo que implica identificar, reconocer y gestionar los recursos endógenos de cada uno de ellos y propiciar su revalorización, como un modo de garantizar procesos sostenibles y diversificados.

Tourism has become a major international industry, with many countries all over the world relying on the income it produces. Because it is a major source of finances and employment, government and other institutions activitely promote tourism, regardless of the impact on the environment, ecology and social structure of the region. The demands of tourism can contribute to the destruction of the natural and cultural environment upon which it depends. The natural and cultural landscape's capacity to accommodate the local and worldwide effects of tourism, the typology thereof and its implications for the economy and society constitute very important study objectives. The development of tourism can result in the degradation of natural landscapes that paradoxically attract tourists to such areas. Featured topics include: Tourism Strategies; Tourism as a Tool of Development; Tourism Impact; Tourism and Protected Areas; Rural Tourism; Community Involvement; IT and Tourism; Climate Change and Tourism; Environmental Issues; Art, Architecture and Culture; Modelling; Emergent Strategies for Tourism Development; Landscape and Tourism; Tourism and Urban Planning.

Como líder, directivo, empleado o ciudadano, tu activo más valioso no está encerrado en una caja de seguridad de un banco, ni en ladrillos y cemento, ni en el balance de una compañía; se guarda en un lugar mucho más seguro aunque bastante frágil, tu cabeza, y es una cartera de valores gemelos: tu mente analítica y tu mente intuitiva
