Spatial Approach

AbstractThe article explores the natural context and the geographical conditions for developing tourism and for designing sectorial plans. The objective is to offer basic visual rendering as a resource for appreciating the natural environs in which the tourist activity evolves and use such resource as useful input during the planning and designing exercises. The methodology relies on the application of cartographic and spatial tools as instruments for recognising the territory and the natural landscape. The results render the current condition of natural resources and the territorial reality, as a general frame for proposing sustainable strategies of tourism planning. The contribution of the analysis can be appreciated amid the scarcity of local and specific cartographic analysis, and the precarious stock of inputs that could guide the tourism and the territorial planning in lagged territories. An overwhelming conclusion of our exercise is that the awarness and valuations of natural endowments are key elements for preserving the environment and for applying an adequate planning strategy in order to reconcile the economic necessities and the preservation of natural environment.

The Human Condition

The entrenched and firm conviction that man is master of nature while being separate from it has fostered the culture of the indiscriminate use of natural resources, the destruction of eco-systems and a waste society. Over recent decades, behind the urgent need to halt the ecological drift, the natural landscape has been of considerable interest in various disciplinary contexts including biology, from which it has gained renewed consideration from the “ecology of landscape” perspective, and ethics. Once the theoretical aspects of the ecology of the landscape concept have been clarified, I will demonstrate that the human condition is part of the natural environment. On this basis I will highlight the necessity for man to develop an ecological awareness founded on responsibility regarding biodiversity. The ethics of responsibility, enlightened by an ecological awareness, have to inspire living and guide environmental policy-making.

The Relationship

Indonesia is an emerald equator because of its strategic location, tropical climate, natural resources and cultural wealth. These potentials can improve the economy and welfare. However, the use of natural resources is done unwise. What can Christians do to overcome this problem? The perspective of the Christian faith regarding ecology, is the Great mandate that God gave to Adam and Noah to rule over all beings on earth. Theology does not only talk about God, but also talks about the relationship between humans and others and also the natural environment; keep and live side by side.

Instrumental View

Generally, in the modern, western world, conceptualizations of the natural environment are associated with what nature can offer us—an anthropocentric perspective whereby humans treat nature and all its biotic components as ‘natural resources’. When nature and the beings within it are regarded purely in utilitarian terms, humans lose sight of the fact that ecosystems and nonhuman animals have intrinsic value. Most biotechnological use of nonhuman animals is informed by an instrumental view of nature. In this article, we endeavour to broaden the field of animal abuse studies by including in it the exploration of biotechnological abuse of animals. We analyse the issue by discussing it in relation to differing philosophical starting points and, in particular, the rights and justice theory developed within green criminology.

Tourist Infrastructure

The natural landscape provokes artists to revive it with architecture. Architects overcome technical limitations, physiographic, customary more or less picturesquely incorporating their works into the richness of natural forms. Many benefits come from this recklessness for the region. The hit trend is also appreciated for the triumph of technical thought. It puts into confusion at once because of the gradual takeover of the natural environment. The aim of the work is to search for solutions that would help preserve the beauty of the mountain environment and at the same time make the widest group of recipients available. Analyzing the above issues, the comparative method was used, presenting achievements in the field of high-altitude objects design in extreme physiographic conditions, implemented in the Alps region. The region has a developed ski and tourist infrastructure. It is an example of maintaining moderation and specific character, despite growing new needs and expectations from tourists and sportsmen. However, it is not free from the over-investment trap.

The paper deals with issues related to self-constraint examined in the context of the social, environmental or economic threats and challenges generated by the contemporary civilization. The ability to limit one’s own needs, and hence the issue of reasonable use of goods is nothing new for ethics. However, after having realized the finite nature of natural resources, growing economic disproportions, and especially the exceeding consumption, that problem gains importance and calls for recapitulation. The article, based on references to alternative models of consumers’ behavior (substantive consumption, voluntary simplicity) and sustainable strategies of development (degrowth), provides an argument why reflection on self-constraint is one of the key areas of ethical reflection today. Self-constraint was presented as specifically human, voluntary, and individual approach of the moral agent towards other people and the natural environment.

The natural resources as the constituent of the natural environment and their condition are determined, which requires immediate action. The interaction of a person, his activity with the natural environment is characterized. Economic indicators, including price policy, social guarantees, protection and protection of economic activity in comparison with the international and European status are determined. The analysis of components of the environment in Ukraine is given and the legal bases for the settlement and protection of human rights and freedoms are defined. Potentially possible activities for Ukraine are outlined. The vectors of development and support from the state of Ukraine are analyzed. The direction of development of farming, which today is defined as the creation of a legal entity, with the statute, mandatory state registration, with the opening of an account in a financial institution, is determined in the framework of the current regulatory framework. Attention is drawn to the support of family forms of economic activity at the European level. In order to protect natural resources as constituents of the natural environment and components of human life, it is proposed to take measures to support and develop small and medium business entities, as well as directly owners of land plots, including land plots (shares). The prospects for the introduction of organic farming in Ukraine as an element of the state of the environment change are determined. The necessity of taking a number of economic and legal actions that will be directed not only to protect and protect the rights of citizens of Ukraine but also to meet the commitments that Ukraine has assumed through European integration will meet the generally accepted international and European requirements in the field of conducting international relations for different vectors, and also create conditions for attracting foreign investments into Ukraine.            Keywords: economic and legal basis, organic farming, European experience, foreign investment, natural resources, environment, landowners, farming, agro-chemicals and pesticides, price policy.

Scientific Survey

The intertwining of science and literature is a prominent feature of those nationalistic discourses, spanning the turn-of-the-century decades from approximately 1870 to 1930, that have become regarded as typical of Spanish regeneracionismo. Naturalists, such as geologist and mining engineer, Lucas Mallada, or geographer and geologist, Eduardo Hernández-Pacheco, tapped into the intellectual authority of science in order to provide new narratives of Spanish nature as the ultimate source of both national identity and national prosperity. First, if Spaniards were to have a realistic account of the opportunities and obstacles involved in their millenary relationship with a rich and diverse, but nonetheless rugged and harsh, natural environment, a full scientific survey of the Spanish territory was in order. Second, inspirations for a renewed and strengthened national identity could be derived from a re-examination of Spanish nature. In the midst of a particularly acute fin-de-siècle crisis, many intellectuals turned towards the natural landscape as a source of healing and regeneration, hoping to rejuvenate a deep, ages-old, organic relationship between the Spanish people and Iberian nature. Ciencia y literatura aparecen entrelazadas en los discursos nacionalistas que caracterizan la política y la cultura españolas del regeneracionismo, a lo largo del prolongado cambio de siglo que va desde la década de 1870 a la de 1930. Naturalistas como el geólogo e ingeniero de minas Lucas Mallada o el geógrafo y geólogo Eduardo Hernández-Pacheco recurrieron a la autoridad de la ciencia para ofrecer nuevas narrativas acerca de la naturaleza española en las que esta se presentaba como la fuente última de la identidad y la prosperidad nacionales. En primer lugar, se imponía acometer un reconocimiento científico del territorio español que proporcionase una base de conocimiento realista sobre las oportunidades y los obstáculos que los españoles hallaban en su milenaria relación con su medio natural, que si bien ofrecía riqueza y diversidad no dejaba al tiempo de ser considerablemente áspero y bravío. En segundo lugar, un retorno a la propia naturaleza prometía ser fuente de inspiración para una renovada y reforzada identidad nacional. Sumidos en una crisis finisecular que se dejó sentir en España con particular intensidad, muchos intelectuales se volvieron hacia el paisaje natural como fuente de curación y regeneración, en la esperanza de reverdecer una profunda, milenaria y orgánica relación del pueblo español con su solar natural.
