Protected Areas and Regional Development: An Austrian Case Study
Author(s) Grazia Withalm and Michael Getzner
Year of publication 2018
The potential conflicts as well as synergies between Natura 2000 areas are rarely studied with respect to the marginal change of regional and local development brought about by conservation policies. This chapter presents empirical evidence on the linkages between Natura 2000 areas and local development in Austrian municipalities. The main policy conclusions are that protected area management has to develop a coherent and complementary regional strategy to build up networks with all stakeholders and design joint destination marketing policies to attract more visitors while, conserving biodiversity effectively.
