“…Those results allowed to model for first time ever the contribution of stone walls in reducing erosion at European scale [11]. Thus, the abandonment of the terraced agricultural systems has a negative impact on the landscape, both in terms of the disappearance of traditional agronomic practices and because it places the sustainable development of the Mediterranean hill and mountain environments at risk [12][13][14].…”

Terraced systems currently represent an indubitable added value for Tuscany, as well as for other Italian regions and for several Mediterranean countries. This value goes beyond their original function of hosting new areas for cultivation. The hydrological functions performed by these systems, including control of erosion, stabilisation of the slopes, prolongation of runoff times and the possible reduction of the volumes of surface runoff, are well-known. In addition, they also play a strategic role in the conservation of biodiversity and in maintaining local identity. At a national level, the terraced agricultural systems fall within the scope of actions scheduled in the National Strategic Plan for Rural Development 2007Development -2013, and the standards of Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAECs) envisages that they be maintained through the granting of economic aid as laid down in the Rural Development Plans 2007Plans -2013Plans and 2014Plans -2020. Eighteen sample areas, previously selected on the basis of the terracing intensity index (defined as the ratio between the lines representing the walls and the surface of 1 ha), were subjected for on-site surveys to determine the geo-typological features through the identification and measurement of the main technical-construction parameters of the dry stone walls. This analysis also enabled assessments of the overall state of conservation of the dry stone walls in order to suggest operations for safeguarding and protection.

“…(Mücher, Hennekens & Bunce, 2009). New CAP guidelines and a new Spanish Sustainable Rural Development Law have not been implemented in the valley and research has highlighted the Deva valley as a social-ecologic system in need of a participatory management system (Rescia, et al, 2008). There needs to be policy implementation with the participation of farmers who are the recipients of subsidies and the 'real' managers of the landscape.…”

“…De manera complementaria, los resultados de la ESA muestran en general similitudes con otros sondeos de demandas sociales de la población rural en España que debemos resaltar (Fernández Muñoz, 2008;Rescia et al, 2008;Rico González y Gómez-Limón Rodríguez, 2012;Segrelles Serrano, 2013). Nos referimos a las preferencias que se detectan entre los encuestados, sea la que fuere la propuesta de planificación territorial, por: 1) el mantenimiento del medio rural como un territorio multifuncional (por ejemplo, cuando se apuesta por el mantenimiento de funciones de conservación de fauna y flora, 39,5%; acciones agropecuarias, 31,6%; o de protección y conservación de recursos naturales, 28,9%); y 2) por el uso de medidas proactivas en el territorio, tales como la reforestación o mejora de la gestión forestal (51%), o la acción directa para el mantenimiento de las vías pecuarias (49,8%), ambas propuestas entendidas como favorecedoras de un desarrollo territorial que mantiene la función social generadora de empleos locales.…”

La declaración de Espacios Naturales Protegidos ha producido con frecuencia conflictos con las poblaciones locales en la gestión de la conservación de la naturaleza. En respuesta a esta realidad han surgido nuevos métodos y estrategias que buscan una mejor integración de la componente social en las áreas protegidas. Este artículo presenta los resultados de una Encuesta Socio-Ambiental (ESA) realizada durante la elaboración de una propuesta de Espacio Natural Protegido para la Red de Espacios Naturales Protegidos de Andalucía en la campiña agrícola del Subbético, entre las provincias de Sevilla y Cádiz (sur de España). A partir de los datos obtenidos se propone y discute la aplicación de la figura de Paisaje Protegido (tipo Categoría V de UICN) asociada a un modelo de gestión participativa abierta.
