“…A comparison of the presented study with other studies that used geomorphosite assessment methods would probably be a bit misleading as the sites included in the presented study were of anthropogenic origin and other studies mainly consider natural sites, e.g., [59,61,97]. Thus, we made a comparison in the context of the relationships between particular site values: while in the case of natural areas and natural sites, the higher the scientific value, the higher the tourist value [58,97], in the case of anthropogenic sites this correlation is weak (Figure 2).…”

The Role of Anthropogenic Landforms in Sustainable Landscape Management

et al. 2019

Anthropogenic landforms are attractive landscape structures. They are linked to the cultural elements of the landscape and they also support biodiversity on the landscape level. Concerning their position within heritage concepts, anthropogenic landforms can be seen as a bridge between natural and cultural heritages. This paper is focused on the relevance of anthropogenic landforms to landscape management and planning. The study is based on the concept of geomorphosites, which can be applied within sustainable management and the conservation of geomorphological heritage. The case study was applied in the urban area of Brno (Czech Republic). The results of the study indicated the importance of anthropogenic landforms for urban landscape conservation and sustainable tourism development. The assessment of landforms in the study area enabled to establish a set of recommendations for the sustainable management of anthropogenic landforms in Brno. This study suggested the assessment of anthropogenic landforms as a support tool for sustainable landscape management in urban areas.

“…In recent decades, numerous geomorphosite assessment methods have been introduced and used, especially in geoheritage and geotourism studies [44,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. Later, these methods were critically reviewed and discussed in several papers [64][65][66][67][68].…”

“…In turn, the common endogenous resources and the similarities in the landscape (De Una-Alvarez, Angel Alvarez -Vazquez, et al, 2017) favour a natural cooperation between the populations of these two regions that may be exploited further with strategic plans and adjusted policies, as, in fact, already exist, but they require continuous assessment and adjustment. The several policies concerning regional impact play a relevant role for a balanced and sustainable regional development (Medín et al, 2007), including those from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) framework (Adán & Justo, 2008), as well as, several stakeholders and related institutions (Facal, 2000).…”

O norte de Portugal e a Galiza são duas regiões próximas, de diferentes países, com alto potencial de cooperação e criação de sinergias comuns entre os diversos setores empresariais. Nesse contexto, é essencial explorar mais profundamente os principais grupos de negócio que operam nessas duas regiões vizinhas com uma base estratégica e institucional diferente. Considerando essas motivações, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é identificar as principais atividades socioeconómicas que operam nessas duas regiões e explorar as inter-relações espaciais entre elas. Para isso, foram considerados dados estatísticos do Instituto Português de Estatística (INE) e do Instituto Galego de Estatística, desagregados a nível municipal, para o número de empresas que atuam em cada município destas regiões. Estes dados foram explorados, primeiro, através de análise descritiva e depois com abordagens de autocorrelação espacial. Esta informação estatística foi ainda analisada através de modelos econométricos relacionados com os processos de aglomeração da Nova Geografia Económica. Os resultados obtidos destacam a importância dos serviços para estas duas regiões, mas, também, para da indústria, onde a cooperação pode ser aumentada e melhorada, aproveitando as sinergias de autocorrelação espacial.
