“…The regional nature parks that, in a variety of national guises, are widespread throughout Europe have had substantial success in reviving ailing rural economies by-passed by the changes in the agri-food industry. Amongst these, the national parks in the United Kingdom (Lloyd et al 2004, McCarthy et al 2002, and the 44 parc naturels régionaux in France are prime exemplars of the way in which landscape conservation can be married to policies for securing the future of the rural economy. At the international level the EU has also been active in helping to underpin fragile rural economies, not least through the Leader+ programme (Department for Rural Affairs 2003).…”

Abstract:The most important recent political development has been the accession to the European Union in 2004 of eight former communist states and their integration to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP as a largely uniform policy trying to cater for the needs of the very varied agricultural industry in 27 states across both Eastern and Western Europe is itself undergoing a radical transformation as politicians attempt to shift the main focus of its activities from production subsidies to a more broadly conceived sustainable rural development strategy. The paper concludes that for these changes to be managed effectively and to support stable and sustainable rural landscapes there must be publicly-led regional strategies in place.

“…Since there is a need to seek a new balance between the protection of the natural beauty and the stimulation of the socioeconomic needs of park communities, recent initiatives in Britain increasingly respond to the challenge of sustainability in Category V protected areas. For instance, the newly established Scottish National Parks (2002) are to promote sustainable social and economic development of the area's communities, next to the conservation and enhancement of the natural and cultural heritage (McCarthy et al, 2002).…”

Sustainable development and protected landscapes: the case of The Netherlands

In 2004, the Dutch government published a policy paper on spatial planning that sets out a framework for the designation of socalled 'National Landscapes', large areas of inhabited countryside with specific historic elements, geomorphology, natural character and openness. This represents the latest attempt to introduce IUCN Category V protected areas into the Netherlands. National Landscapes are of international importance because they are either unique to the Netherlands or are seldom found elsewhere. The main policy goal is to preserve the existing landscape quality while, at the same time, stimulating social and economic development of the designated area. This article is intended to provide insight into the best ways of sustainable landscape protection in National Landscapes. In order to do so, the Dutch landscape policy is put into a European perspective by comparing National Landscapes with similar large protected landscape areas in Great Britain, France and Germany. In contrast to these wellknown European examples, Dutch National Landscapes do not fully acknowledge the new conservation paradigm that protected landscapes combine social, economic and ecological objectives. Although, in theory, National Landscapes could support regional sustainable development, they currently fall short as test beds for an integrated landscape philosophy. It is argued that policy reform is needed to improve the policy for National Landscapes through more rigorous enforcement of sustainable development goals. A further collaboration and exchange of landscape protection systems across EU countries could support this reform.
