Afrique du Sud ; Cape Peninsula ; Cape Province ; Environnement ; Frange urbaine ; Gestion de l'environnement ; Limite ; Protection de la nature ; Réserve naturelle
The characteristics of protectedareas that adjoin urban areas are analyzed, focusing primarily on the problems and opportunities presented by co-managing these areas through buffer zones. A set of criteria are drawn from the case study that could
be used to determine whether an area in the urban fringe should be included in a buffer zone around a protectedarea. It is shown that reserve boundaries do not offer sufficient protection for protectedareas and that the buffer model is an effective

The paper examines contemporary conditions of nature conservation in selected protectedareas in Africa. It focuses on two among many factors, namely population density and intensity of tourism. Both are very important for conservation of natural
resources in African national parks and reserves. The paper identifies main changes in the population of protected animals species as well as the state of habitats in selected protectedareas. - (BJ)

Distribution of mountain protectedareas of the Andean Cordillera and the extent of the arid diagonal, the zone from SW Ecuador to eastern Argentina, are compared. Authors find very few mountains protectedareas in the most arid ecosystems, from
about 18 to 30° S. Noting that the recharge of water resources there is presently very limited, they call for establishment of new protectedareas that will assure sufficient water for human development and nature conservation. - (SLD)

of people on different hierarchical levels. However, should be the management of landscape as heritage treated as inherent part of spatial (physical, regional) planning or restricted only to so called natural or landscape protectedareas ? The discussion
builds on examples from Czechia with the main emphasis on spatial relationships among areas devoted to cultural and natural heritage protection as well as areas dedicated to protection and development. - (BJ).

Protectedareas offer natural and other qualities to visitors. At the same time, these areas are co-formed by tourism and recreation. In the case of Triglav National Park, we researched the compatibility of protection and tourism function
of protectedareas in the area of Upper Sava Valley. The survey was focused on the reasons of visit, the proposals and wishes of visitors in the connection with the future Triglav National Park development. - (L'A.).

This paper gives voice to the perspectives and values of stakeholders located in and around one site of controversy, Gladstone Harbour, in the southern section of the GBR World Heritage Area. The findings show that local views act to reinforce
the global environmental protection narrative which underpins the World Heritage (WH) system. It concludes thatlocal and global values collide and that overlooking the perspectives of users has potential deleterious consequences for WH marine site.
