“…Ruiz, Rodríguez, and Coronado 2017). We recognise that roads encountered today sit on a continuum of driving experience, from back lanes and country tracks through suburban roads to freeways, motorways and desensitised tunnels.…”

“…As more embodied experiences of roads are lost to sophisticated vehicles and transport infrastructure, the heritage and aesthetic significance of earlier motorways and roadways are being increasingly recognised (Merriman 2006(Merriman , 2012Kerr 2013a, 85;van Winden 2015;Ruiz, Rodríguez, and Coronado 2017). Merriman (2012, 103) reflects on the motorways of Britain as 'part of the nation's architectural or landscape heritage' , suggesting that rather than representing an example of Augé's (1995) non-places, they are in fact spaces of architectural importance.…”

Driving is a dynamic human experience. The act of operating a vehicle, our movement across space and time, and the landscapes we pass afford rich sensory experiences. However, an increasingly controlled environment in the car and on roads is diminishing many sensuous encounters of orientation, sound, smell, touch, and even sight. The growing emphasis on transport infrastructure that prioritises speed, safety, comfort and convenience -dual carriageways, bypasses, ring roads, tunnels and sound barriers -is serving to disconnect us from our journeys as emplaced experiences. These changes are leading to starkly homogeneous journeys devoid of character that result in a loss of experience and place. In this paper we examine the sensory engagement and experiences of car journeys across landscapes, considering both urban and rural environments. Using case studies from different regions of Australia, we examine the bodily experiences of modern motoring. We suggest that there is no longer an immediate engagement with the landscape being traversed. With particular consideration of understanding places in an embodied way, we consider how modernised highways are disconnecting us from developing and maintaining meaning in our understanding of roads as a significant form of heritage, and as an important mechanism through which people experience heritage.

“…Consensus has been reached regarding the importance of cultural routes to heritage protection. Beyond a category of cultural heritage ontology, it has become a planning perspective that plays an active role in the construction of multiple objectives, including environmental governance, cultural industrial development, and convenient local living [41]. With cultural integration as the core, it is possible to realize a multi-dimensional revival of traditional settlements for the following associated characteristics.…”

Traditional villages along rivers have contributed significantly to local–regional development by transporting production and spreading culture through certain routes. To date, the cultural continuity of traditional villages has been underestimated in sustainable development with regard to practical dilemmas between conservation and development. This study explores an integrated approach to traditional villages in river basins that considers historic relics, locality, and spatial form. The cultural routes concept is introduced from the field of cultural heritage to link geographically scattered villages that shared the same cultural values and purposes in the past and to stimulate their potential as dynamic routes for further rural revitalization. In this context, the following subtopics are defined for a specific analysis of the lower Chishui River in Guizhou: an evolving framework of cultural routes and the spatial-temporal route of “Sichuan salt into Guizhou,” including its contemporary transformation. The findings of cultural and spatial coherence in historical texts, maps, morphological structures, and rural landscapes support a multi-cultural route model for sustainable development. The study extends the prevailing knowledge on cultural sustainability in rural revitalization and it provides novel insights into spatial development in basin environments.

“…More recently, the territorial waters of Clipperton Atoll, France (8.9 km 2 including the lagoon) was proposed as an MPA on 2016, however it is still unprotected (10). These areas not only contribute to the protection of species with high ecological value, but they also provide habitat for endangered species and are of paramount cultural value: all MPAs above mentioned have been designated as United Nations (UNESCO) World Natural Heritage Sites (11). UNESCO first recognized Cocos Island National Park in 1997, then the Galapagos Marine Reserve in 2001, Coiba National Park in 2005, Malpelo Flora and Fauna Sanctuary in 2006, and Revillagigedo Archipelago in 2016 (11).…”

Long-distance movements of sharks within and between islands pose substantial challenges for resource managers working with highly migratory species. When no-take zones do not cover the critical areas that sharks use as part of their lifecycle, exposure to fishing activities can be significant. Shark movements between the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) have been studied for several years, however little is known about the strength of connectivity between these islands. We analyzed the extensive MigraMar ultrasonic telemetry dataset to assess how Galapagos sharks (Carcharhinus galapagensis) and silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) use different islands as stepping-stones during their migrations within the Revillagigedo National Park and other ETP islands. Of the 66 sharks monitored, 63.5% moved within the same island, 25.4% between two islands or more and only 10.1% across different MPAs. A C. falciformis tagged in Roca Partida Island, Revillagigedo, travelled to Clipperton Atoll and another one tagged in Darwin Island travelled to the atoll on two different years. The largest movement of C. galapagensis was accomplished by a shark tagged at Socorro Island, Revillagigedo, later detected at Clipperton and finally recorded in Darwin Island, Galapagos. This last path was in fact, one of the longest movements ever recorded for the species. Although long-distance dispersion was not common, our results highlight the need for co-operation between different countries to ensure adequate protection for sharks in the form of swimways and other conservation tools in the ETP.
