Identifying socio-ecological networks in rural-urban gradients: Diagnosis of a changing cultural landscape
(Science of the total environment, 2018) Arnaiz Schmitz, Cecilia; Schmitz García, María Fe; Herrero Jaúregui, Cristina; Gutíerrez Angonese, J.; Díaz Pineda, Francisco; Montes, C.
Socio-ecological systems maintain reciprocal interactions between biophysical and socioeconomic structures. As a result of these interactions key essential services for society emerge. Urban expansion is a direct driver of land change and cause serious shifts in socio-ecological relationships and the associated lifestyles. The framework of rural-urban gradients has proved to be a powerful tool for ecological research about urban influences on ecosystems and on sociological issues related to social welfare. However, to date there has not been an attempt to achieve a classification of municipalities in rural-urban gradients based on socio-ecological interactions. In this paper, we developed a methodological approach that allows identifying and classifying a set of socio-ecological network configurations in the Region of Madrid, a highly dynamic cultural landscape considered one of the European hotspots in urban development. According to their socio-ecological links, the integrated model detects four groups of municipalities, ordered along a rural-urban gradient, characterized by their degree of biophysical and socioeconomic coupling and different indicators of landscape structure and social welfare. We propose the developed model as a useful tool to improve environmental management schemes and land planning from a socio-ecological perspective, especially in territories subject to intense urban transformations and loss of rurality.
El agua en el paisaje

Naciones cartesianas
(Tribuna ASYPS, 2015) Díaz Pineda, Francisco
Apenas ha abandonado la patera, el emigrante rescatado por la policía costera del país destino comienza a consumir diariamente mucha más energía de la que ha venido gastando en su vida hasta ese mismo instante. Acaba de cruzar la frontera –cartesiana, delimitada en un mapa– de una nación que pertenece al mundo desarrollado.
Heritage Cultural Landscape of Lozoya Valley (central Spain): methods and sources of spatial analysis
(Topografía y cartografía, 2016) Herrero Jaúregui, Cristina; Arnaiz Schmitz, Cecilia; De la O, Manuel Rodrigo; Escudero, D.; Mariné, N.; Díaz Pineda, Francisco; Schmitz García, María Fe
We present a work developed in the Lozoya Valley, an area included into the list of Cultural Landscapes developed by IPCE, due to its highly valuable patrimonial characteristics. The study area combines sites of high naturalistic value with others that have been intensively transformed by humans throughout history. The traditional management of natural resources has shaped the landscape, giving place to an extent mosaic of silvopastoral uses, livestock tracks, and other singular elements, such as stone hedges. This combines with an important cultural heritage derived of the historical presence of clergy and royal families and in the area. The present work analyzes the dynamics of change in the spatial configuration of the territory. Using satellite images, we study landscape configuration through variables such as fragmentation, connectivity and heterogeneity. We use Fragstats software, which allows processing a wide range of territorial data to determine specific spatial patterns. We discuss some questions about natural and cultural heritage, and the effectiveness of protected areas in preserving rural-cultural landscapes.
Seguimiento del cambio global
(Boletin electrónico EUROPARC España, 2017) Díaz Pineda, Francisco; Schmitz, María Fe; Acosta Gallo, Beatriz; Díaz, Pablo; Ruiz Labourdette, Diego
La Conferencia de París sobre el Clima (COP-21; 2015) ha sido la más importante de las celebradas sobre el tema desde que, hace más de medio siglo, se diera la voz de alarma a cerca del “Cambio Climático Antropogénico”. Esa importancia se debe a la información que ha llegado a acumularse actualmente y al compromiso lógico de los gobiernos de casi todo el mundo sobre un cambio probablemente inevitable, pero que reclama medidas urgentes para mitigar sus efectos y, paralelamente, adaptar a él otra más reciente y rápida transformación, la socioeconómica –el “Cambio Socioeconómico”. Los cambios denunciados como ‘crisis ambiental’ desde los años 60 se perciben hoy como un acelerado y preocupante “Cambio Global”, que implica una modificación seria de la dinámica de las masas fluidas del Planeta (cambio climático) y una veloz transformación de las relaciones de las sociedades humanas entre sí y con el ambiente biofísico (cambio socioeconómico).

People and nature in the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve (Canary Islands): socio-ecological relationships under climate change
(Environmental Conservation, 2017) Schmitz García, María Fe; Arnaiz Schmitz, Cecilia; Herrero Jaúregui, Cristina; Díaz, Pablo; Gaspar García de Matos, Daniela; Díaz Pineda, Francisco
This paper analyses the interdependence between environment and society in terms of socio-ecological webs, in which human and biophysical systems are linked. A quantitative model, based on canonical correlation analysis applied in Fuerteventura Island (Canary Archipelago), detected indicators of human– landscape relationships and predicted potential shifts based on simulated environmental changes. In the last few decades, the landscape of Fuerteventura Island has changed: natural components and cultural agrarian uses have decreased, while the population has increased due to immigration, mainly from mainland Spain and other European countries. The island shows a transition from a coupled local socio-ecosystem to one based on the interaction between environment and coastal tourism that decouples native inhabitants from the landscape and traditional land-use practices. As vulnerability and adaptation to climate change represent critical sets of potential interactions in Canary Islands, a model and a map of the socioecological system under four Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenarios show rural decoupling through ‘deagrarianization’ and ‘deruralization’, as well as stronger links to the tourism system.
Environmental valuation by the local population and visitors for zoning a protected area
(WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Sustainable Tourism VI, 2014) Gaspar García de Matos, Daniela; Díaz, P.; Ruiz-Labourdette, D.; Rodríguez, A.J.; Santana, A.; Schmitz García, María Fe; Díaz Pineda, Francisco
Protected natural areas have traditionally played an important role in tourist destinations. There are over one hundred thousand of these areas throughout the world and to date, their landscapes and biodiversity have constituted the main factor attracting visitors. Although these components have not lost their power to attract, many tourist destinations now highlight the relationship between nature and traditional culture. On one hand, the planning and management of natural areas have fundamentally been based on biophysical aspects; hence, their name. But, on the other, the socioeconomic perspective is of great importance and should be incorporated further into this management. The professional field of the sciences of ‘nature’, which so far has played a major role in these areas, along with the disciplines of social sciences and humanities, faces the challenge of integrating their analysis methods, which can be directly applied to an understanding of the dynamics of present-day tourism. This integration could consider protected areas and territories beyond their physical boundaries. Our team, with experience in the development of environmental analysis models applied to the zoning and subsequent declaration of these areas, has proposed a new procedure for evaluating carrying capacities and tourism potentialities, integrating environmental (landscape), anthropological (local society and visitors) and socioeconomic (living standard and quality of life of local population) perspectives. The research relates this kind of components through multivariate analyses, geo-referenced databases and questionnaires. The pathway of the model is landscape functioning (ecosystem) and its function for society (ecosystem services).
Enfoque ecosistémico. Servicios de los ecosistemas terrestres
(Uso sostenible del Patrimonio Natural, 2018) Díaz Pineda, Francisco
Los ecosistemas deben entenderse con perspectivas académica y aplicada, considerando que los recursos naturales forman parte de su funcionamiento. La Humanidad, erigida en propietaria de estos recursos, los administra y es cada vez más consciente de los costes que el desarrollo económico viene generando en ellos. La gestión ambiental, la protección de la naturaleza y la conservación de la biodiversidad requieren una perspectiva sistémica, focalizando los procesos naturales ligados principalmente a flujos de energía. En estas dimensiones debe basarse la sostenibilidad. Conservar la naturaleza consiste en gestionar sensatamente los recursos naturales y dista de ser una única idea centrada en declarar espacios protegidos pensados a veces como ‘parques zoológicos o jardines botánicos al aire libre’. Economistas, ecólogos y antropólogos interesados en la gestión de los recursos naturales consideran que los ecosistemas ofrecen servicios a la sociedad, entendidos en términos de abastecimiento de recursos naturales, regulación ambiental y contribuciones culturales, reconociendo con esto último que las sociedades humanas pueden formar parte de los ecosistemas.
