Socioeconomic Indicators for the Evaluation and Monitoring of Climate Change in National Parks: An Analysis of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain)

Abstract: This paper analyzes the importance of assessing and controlling the social and economic impact of climate change in national parks. To this end, a system of indicators for evaluation and monitoring is proposed for the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, one of the most important in Spain. Based on the Driving forces-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework, the designed system uses official statistical data in combination with data to be collected through ad hoc qualitative research. The result is a sy… Show more

“…Most of the habitats other than cereal fields are managed as pasturelands for extensive cattle breeding except in the case of pinewoods, which are mainly managed for timber production. Most highlands (over 1700 m a.s.l) of the Guadarrama Mountains were designated a National Park in 2013 (López and Pardo, 2018). The surrounding piedmont has been covered by an extensive network of buffer areas and reserves resulting from different EU directives (e.g., Natura 2000, Fig.…”

“…Finally, it is interesting to comment on the utility and limitations of bioacoustic sampling (poor discrimination capacity for Rhinolophus hipposideros and Tadarida teniotis models; Loiselle et al, 2003;Buckman-Sewald et al, 2014) as a way to generate data to model bat distribution without the use of sometimes skewed information provided by museum and/or bibliographic records. We consider that the most obvious usefulness of this approach is the quick mapping of bat habitat suitability within the study areas (Rodr ıguez et al, 2007).…”

“…Moreover, since 2013, the upper parts have been included in the "Sierra de Guadarrama" National Park. As Madrid, with 5 million inhabitants, is less than 60 min away by car, tourism has gained importance as one of the most important sectors in the whole area [29].…”

“…Indeed, nowadays close attention is paid to aspects like biodiversity conservation. However, tourism has become one of the main economic sectors in the area with mass tourism becoming more visible in 2013, when the Sierra de Guadarrama was declared a national park [47]. The forest of Valsaín is just one hour by car from the city of Madrid (3,225,000 inhabitants) and only 20 min by car from the city of Segovia (150,000 inhabitants).…”
