Abstract
The inhabitants of Natural Protected Areas are often unaware of the scientific and heritage value of the natural environment in which they live, although they are users and form part of its landscapes and landforms. The scientific community, in turn, does not always include the local population in research projects. Thus, it is necessary to implement mechanisms for participation and knowledge exchange. The scientific dissemination activity carried out at Castro de Ulaca, in the Sierra de la Paramera, in Ávila (Spain), was offered to the residents of the villages of the Natural Area and was focused on the relief, landscape and geomorphosites. The work, carried out through field work with the participants and surveys, shows the knowledge and opinions of the locals about the geomorphological heritage and the environmental protection of the area before the activity, and how it changes after it.
自然保护区的居民往往不了解他们所生活的自然环境的科学价值和遗产价值,尽管他们是自然环境的使用者,也是自然景观和地貌的组成部分。而科学界也并不总是将当地居民纳入研究项目。因此,有必要建立参与和知识交流机制。在阿维拉(西班牙)帕拉梅拉山脉的 Castro de Ulaca 开展的科学传播活动面向自然区村庄的居民,重点是地形、景观和地貌。通过与参与者进行实地考察和调查,这项工作展示了当地人对活动前该地区地貌遗产和环境保护的了解和看法,以及活动后该地区的变化情况。
期刊介绍:
The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism.
The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are:
- Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage;
- Geodiversity and geosites;
- On-site science, geological and geomorphological research:
- Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation
and management;
- Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby;
- Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international;
- Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use
policies;
- Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies;
- Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism;
- Geoparks: creation, management and outputs;
- Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change;
- Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies;
- International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites,
National Parks etc.;
- Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections
and all portable geoheritage;
- Education and training of geoheritage specialists;
- Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres,
on-site museums;
- Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
