“…The |protection of water and land resources in tourist areas in Spain, especially along the east coast, will depend on the efforts of these resistance groups and the degree of social endorsement (e.g. Araque & Crespo, 2010;Del Romero-Renau, 2015;Nel.lo, 2007;Salcedo & Campesino, 2015).…”

This paper analyses the socio-territorial conflict prompted by Los Merinos: a residential-tourism project constructed in an ecological reserve that is vital to Andalusian livelihoods. It examines disputes concerning discourses, authorities and rules in order to understand the struggle over land and water. Using the echelons of rights analysis (ERA) framework, the paper scrutinizes the multiscale forces and strategies adopted by business and opposing movement networks in order to shape territory, thereby engaging local and supra-local governments. The authors' political-ecology lens on environmental justice and territorialization enhances the understanding of the relevance of social movements in contesting the misappropriation of socio-natural environments.

“…The landscape of the agricultural gardens is not only agrarian, but is made up of a mosaic of uses in which the cultivated fields and traditional irrigation systems co-exist with urban and industrial areas, infrastructures and roads. The socio-economic transformations and metropolitan dynamics have brought about serious territorial and scenic impacts in recent decades [44]. In that time, the processes leading to social devaluation of this landscape have deepened, caused partly by the general crisis in the agrarian sector and the peri-urban nature of Valencia's agricultural gardens.…”

Multifunctional agrifood systems with noteworthy roots in a territory are the result of a historical yet dynamic specialization. They are present in the place’s knowledge, social connections, collective action, the organization of institutions, innovation and capital. These systems are seen in the landscape, which becomes a resource as well as cultural and environmental heritage. In this regard, it is necessary to study the significance of the many aspects of heritage and landscape in agrifood systems to suitably manage and appreciate them as a territorial resource. This study develops and applies a quantitative method with various criteria to enable the landscape values of multifunctional, territorialized agrifood systems (MTAS in Spanish) to be evaluated, paying attention to essential matters such as the process of heritage recognition and the quality of their landscapes. To do so, a method designed by the authors for evaluating landscapes has been adapted to the peculiarities that define such systems, made up of criteria such as representativeness, authenticity, ecological integrity, vulnerability, accessibility and historical, social and symbolic values. The method has been applied to an exemplary Mediterranean landscape, the agricultural gardens of Valencia, which combine features of MTAS in metropolitan and coastal flatland contexts.
