Složenost turističkog sektora ogleda se u raznovrsnosti gospodarskih i socijalnih aktivnosti. Posljedično, njihova provedba smatra se pokretačima koji uzrokuju različite pritiske i utjecaje na okoliš. Osnovni preduvjet za praćenje napretka prema održivom upravljanju turizmom je kontinuirano praćenje podataka i sveobuhvatni okvir procjene, kao što je okvir DPSIR (pokretač-pritisak-stanje-utjecaj-odgovor, prema engl. Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) (u nastavku tekst DPSIR). Među ekološkim izazovima DPSIR-a komunalni otpad kao posljedica turističkih aktivnosti identificiran je kao jedan od glavnih ekoloških izazova. U ovom istraživanju provedena je analiza utemeljena na dokazima odabranih pokazatelja kako bi se razmotrio DPSIR razvijen s naglaskom na održivo gospodarenje otpadom. Ovaj holistički pristup osigurava utemeljenu evaluaciju i odgovarajuće mjere kao odgovor društva na dugoročno rješavanje glavnih okolišnih izazova povezanih s intenzitetom turizma. Uz to, autori su istražili moguće smjerove za razvoj veće održivosti gospodarenja otpadom u turizmu Jadranske Hrvatske, uzimajući u obzir primjere dobre prakse na otoku Krku. Istraživanje i procjena odabranih pokazatelja potvrdila je da sezonalnost turizma utječe na okoliš. Također se pokazalo da visoki intenzitet turizma ima izravan utjecaj na infrastrukturu gospodarenja otpadom koja je uglavnom uspostavljena za ograničen broj stanovnika. Stoga autori predlažu umjereni intenzitet turizma kao najpovoljniju opciju, čime se osigurava održivo gospodarenje otpadom koji stvara manji pritisak na infrastrukturu gospodarenja otpadom i okoliš. Naposljetku, ovim je radom kreiran novi pokazatelj koji istražuje održivost gospodarenja komunalnim otpadom.

As Unidades de Conservação são áreas que visam à proteção da biodiversidade e dos recursos naturais, sua ligação com as práticas de ecoturismo dão suporte ao manejo dessas áreas, uma vez que esta é uma atividade que visa à aproximação dos visitantes e da população do entorno. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os bio-geoindicadores aplicados ao planejamento de ecoturismo em unidades de conservação localizadas na Região Metropolitana de Belém – Pará (RMB). O método adotado foi de levantamento das práticas do ecoturismo in loco, pesquisa de dados secundários e emprego do modelo “Vulnerabilidade-Pressão-Estado-Impacto-Risco-Resposta”, que possibilita identificar os principais elementos de atuação no processo. Os resultados indicaram que as unidades de conservação do Parque Ambiental do Utinga (localizado na Área de Proteção Ambiental de Belém) e do Parque Antônio Danúbio (no município de Ananindeua) são favoráveis ao ecoturismo e a execução continuada de ações de educação ambiental envolvendo as pessoas residentes nas áreas de influência direta destas unidades. Com relação a unidade de conservação do Combu, os bares e restaurantes existentes atuam como atrativos, sendo estratégicos para o turismo local. A análise de “Vulnerabilidade-Pressão-Estado-Impacto-Risco-Resposta” demonstrou que as pressões mais intensas são associadas ao crescimento desordenado da RMB, que traz consigo a produção de resíduos, a falta de saneamento, a poluição hídrica e a construção irregular de unidades prediais. As respostas admitidas para a situação de risco instalada indicam que que deve haver uma maior fiscalização dentro dos Parques; e que os projetos que envolvam o turismo sejam mais explorados, com uma maior regularidade e duração. Bio-geoindicators applied to the ecotourism in conservation units located in urban spaces ABSTRACT The Conservation Units are areas that aimed the protection of biodiversity and the natural resources. Their link with the practices of ecotourism support the management of these areas once this activity aimed the visitor and community approximation. The present project aims to identify the bio-geoindicators applied to the planning of ecotourism located in the Metropolitan Region of Belém - Pará (RMB). The survey was conducted based on ecotourism practices on the unit conservations of this study and research of secondary data and documentary. The analysis process employs the model of “Vulnerability-Pressure-State-Impact-Response-Risk”, which allows identifying the variables of intervention in each unit. The results specify the practices of ecotourism in the Conservation Units of Utinga Environmental Park (located in Environmental Protection Area of Belém) and Antônio Danúbio Park (in Ananindeua city), proved favorable to ecotourism, through activities on ecological trails and environmental education involving people who live in the areas of direct influence of these units. In the Conservation Units of Combu, bars and restaurants has become only attractive strategy for local tourism. The “Vulnerability-Pressure-State-Impact-Response-Risk” showed that the most intense pressures are associated with disordered growth of the Metropolitan Region of Belém, which brings with it the production of waste, lack of sanitation, water pollution and the construction of irregular unit buildings. The answers admitted to the risk identified indicate that there should be greater oversight inside the Parks; and the tourism projects must be more explored, with regularity and duration. KEYWORDS: Metropolitan Region of Belém; Ecotourism; Protection Areas.

The “driver–pressure–state–impact–response” (DPSIR) model has recently become a popular approach to deal with environmental problems. The combination of DPSIR with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a useful method to study low-carbon evaluation because the AHP model has a special advantage in multi-indexes evaluation. This paper constructs the low-carbon economy evaluation system and comprehensively evaluates the numerical value of low-carbon economic development of China’s 30 regions from 2000 to 2015 by using the AHP method. It shows that the numerical value of low-carbon economy of China’s 30 regions varies in terms of growth rate. The numerical value of east regional low-carbon economy shows a pattern that is gradually higher than that of the west region. The numerical value of low carbon economic development in the south region is higher than that of the north region by degrees. In addition, based on the model of coordination degree in 2015, the result indicated that the four subsystems have primary coordination in the east area and bare coordination in the central and west areas. It is indicated that the four sub-indexes should be developed at the same pace and promoting the development of a low-carbon economy in the mid-west areas is the key in China. Finally, we proposed that environmental regulations and policies should be formulated to improve coordination in various aspects and various departments. Calculating the degree of low-carbon economic coupling coordination may be helpful for policy makers to formulate effective policies and take actions in the future.

The issue of marine plastic litter pollution is multifaceted, cross-sectoral, and ongoing in the absence of appropriate management measures. This study analysed the issue of marine plastic litter pollution in the context of the Descriptor 10 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Good Environmental Status of the oceans and seas. The Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was used to assess the causes, effects, and management measures to changes in the marine environment resulting from marine plastics pollution. We noted that less than 10 peer-reviewed publications have applied the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model to the issue of marine plastics pollution. Some basic needs such as food security, movement of goods and services, and shelter are also some of the major drivers of marine plastic pollution. The use of plastics is linked to multiple economic sectors (fisheries, agriculture, transport, packaging, construction) and other human activities. A significant amount of the resulting pressures came from the economic sectors for packaging and construction. State changes occurred at the environmental (contamination and bioaccumulation), ecosystem (ingestion of plastics, ghost fishing) and ecosystem service levels (supply of sea food, salt and cultural benefits), with possible loss of jobs and income being some of the observed impacts on human welfare. Responses as management measures, which are tailored to meet each component of the DPSIR framework, were identified. These included policies, regulations, technological advancement and behavioural change. The research acknowledges the issue of marine plastics pollution as a global environmental problem and recommends a trans-disciplinary approach, involving all types of stakeholders. Future research and analysis applying the DPSIR framework will be useful to provide the information necessary for the effective, adaptive management of litter pollution by marine plastics.

AbstractMany municipalities in Central Europe deal with the problem of invasive species in their natural ecosystems. Invasive vegetation eradicates native species and causes dense stands that damage the natural environment. This work shows how important it is to have an informative tool for municipalities to be successful in their struggles with invasive species. A Driver – Pressure – State – Impact - Response (DPSIR) framework is a decision - making tool, and this one is particularly applied to the species Fallopia japonica. Fallopia japonica is an extremely invasive and aggressive weed, and it is very often found in riverbank vegetation. This specific framework can be used as a tool for municipal managers to highlight all the problems with Fallopia japonica and define all the responses that should be provided by the municipalities. The work points out the steps that show how important it is to have a strategy or a clear concept of how to begin with such a serious issue as the presence of Fallopia japonica in riverbank vegetation and its eradication. This framework provides simple steps that cannot be excluded when a municipality start actions against Fallopia japonica. All the indicators used in the model are based on the information known about Fallopia japonica that are presented in the literature.
