1 Assessing the need for the integrated management of natural and cultural capital at the landscape level C. Cartalis, P. Dimopoulos and Th. Mavrakou

2 Introductory framework The quality of landscapes and the associated quality of life is determined by the tight interplay between natural and cultural capital, through time and space. Despite differences in the terminology for landscapes as used by various entities, the mutual dependency between natural and cultural capital at the landscape level is highlighted. It is thus important to recognize the value of both the natural and cultural capital, define their interplay, the links and cross cutting points between them, develop methods and tools for the integrated management of natural and cultural capital and finally examine which modifications are needed in existing policies and funding mechanisms so as to support the joint management of natural and cultural capital.

3 Record the pressures How to assess cultural and natural capital the methodology Application for Greece (Natura 2000 sites only) Case study Link to local economies

4 Study area Natura 2000 sites

5 Assess the pressures to the landscape

15 Case study for the Stymfalia Lake and the associated landscape (supported by Thalia Mavrakou) Lake Stymfalia is included in the Natura 2000 network both as a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation. Pressures to the lake include eutrophication, a fact which has resulted in an expanded presence of reeds, and depletion of water resources. At the same time, the area has significant cultural capital, as it was inhabited from ancient times and was the place where, in Greek mythology, Hercules did his sixth feat.

Πηγή: Εκτιμήσεις ΙΟΒΕ Σημείωση: Δεν περιλαμβάνονται εκτιμήσεις για τις καταλυτικές επιδράσεις στην ευρύτερη περιοχή των Ιωαννίνων από την λειτουργία του Μουσείου Αργυροτεχνίας H εκτιμώμενη δαπάνη αποτελεί χρήματα τα οποία δεν θα κατευθύνονταν στις τοπικές οικονομίες των περιοχών αν δεν λειτουργούσαν σε αυτές τα μουσεία του ΠΙΟΠ 30

31 Total impact to GDP (at an annual basis) accounts to 13,4 million euros Multiplier at 13. Οι καταλυτικές επιδράσεις του Μουσείου Αργυροτεχνίας στα Ιωάννινα θεωρήθηκαν ίσες με τον μέσο όρο των καταλυτικών επιδράσεων των υπολοίπων μουσείων. Με αισιόδοξη εκτίμηση των καταλυτικών επιδράσεων, η συνολική επίδραση στο ΑΕΠ φτάνει τα 23 εκατ. 31

32 Conclusions Natural and cultural capital need to be integrated at the landscape level. Such integration has been proven feasible. The methodology applies well and carries the capacity to detect comparative advantages. Significant space for ecosystem services Potential for private projects in the fields of: Agriculture Renewables Ecotourism Cultural tourism 32
