ecomont - Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research bringt wissenschaftliche Artikel und Erfahrungsberichte zu Bergschutzgebieten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen alpine und europäische Bergschutzgebiete, Berichte aus anderen Teilen der Welt sind ebenfalls willkommen. Managementaufgaben wie Besuchermonitoring und Einbeziehung der Bevölkerung vor Ort sind dabei ebenso Thema wie die Umsetzung von Schutzkonzepten, nachhaltige Regionalentwicklung, spezielle Forschungsergebnisse in Flora und Fauna sowie geographische Gebirgsforschung. Der globale Wandel und seine besonderen Auswirkungen auf Berggebiete sowie Landschaftsökologie bilden weitere Schwerpunkte. Es werden nur bisher unveröffentlichte Beiträge verwendet und die wissenschaftlichen Artikel werden von Fachleuten begutachtet. eco.mont erscheint zweimal jährlich. Die Arbeitsgruppe ISCAR-P stellt das Editorial Board.



Die elektronische Fassung wird vom Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften online gestellt.

Die gedruckte Fassung kann bei der Innsbruck University Press bezogen werden. The journal "Eco.mont" – Journal of protected mountain areas research – was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck.

The journal aims to emphasize research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Target audiences of the new journal are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and an interested public including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc.

The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research on protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas.



It is published twice a year in a joint effort of the Austrian Academy Press - responsible for the e-version - and Innsbruck University Press - responsible for the print version.

Der Druck der Freizeitindustrie auf noch unerschlossene Räume, der Wandel der Landwirtschaft in Richtung Intensivierung einerseits und Extensivierung andererseits, der Raumbedarf für expandierende Siedlungen und damit verbundene Infrastruktureinrichtungen erfordern neue Konzepte und Strategien. Dies gilt für alle Alpenstaaten. In Slowenien kommen der Wechsel des politischen Systems dazu und die damit gewachsenen wirtschaftlichen Chancen, die Schutzgüter des Landes zu vermarkten und Profit in Nutzungsformen wie Fun-Tourismus zu suchen. Die Dissertation stellt ausgehend vom Status quo mit Schwerpunkt auf Schutzgebietssystemen dar, welche Planungen von Seiten des slowenischen Staates vorgesehen sind. Dem folgen Ausführungen zu Akzeptanzproblemen und daraus resultierende Konflikte in der Gesellschaft und der lokalen Bevölkerung, die an einigen Beispielen (u.a. Nationalpark Triglav, Biosphärenpark Julische Alpen) vorgeführt werden. Bei vielen Entscheidungsträgern in Slowenien herrscht die Meinung vor, dass durch Schutzmaßnahmen die wirtschaftlichen Optionen für die Zukunft verbaut würden. Das ökonomische Potential nachhaltiger Landschaftsentwicklung wird noch nicht gesehen. Die Regierung Sloweniens will Schutzgebiete gründen und so zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen, aber fehlendes Wissen, zu geringe finanzielle Mittel und unzureichende Managementstrukturen erschweren die Gründung und Weiterentwicklung der alten, vor der Sevilla-Strategie 1995 eingerichteten Schutzgebiete: Sie bleiben reine Forschungsstätten und dienen ausschließlich dem Naturschutz. New concepts and strategies are needed to manage the pressure put on regions as yet unexploited by the leisure industry, changes in agriculture towards intensive farming on the one hand and extensive farming on the other, and the space needed for urban expansion and the infrastructure it requires. This is true for every Alpine country. In Slovenia the issue is compounded by the recent change to the political system which has brought increasing economic opportunities for marketing the country´s protected areas and for profit to be made from their use, for example, for fun-tourism. Starting with the status quo and focussing on the country´s arrangements for protected areas, the dissertation goes on to present the plans the Slovenian state intends to implement. This is followed by an exposition of the problems of public acceptance of the plans and the resulting conflicts in society and among the local population, illustrated with examples such as the Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps biosphere reserve. Many of Slovenia´s policy-makers are convinced that introducing conservation measures would ruin future economic opportunities. Thus far the economic potential of sustainable countryside development has not been recognised. Slovenia´s government wants to set up protected areas and thereby contribute to sustainable development, but a lack of expertise and finance as well as inadequate management structures are hampering the establishment and further development of the old protected areas which were set up before the 1995 Seville Strategy and are purely research facilities devoted solely to nature conservation.

Internationale Gebirgsforschung

Ein Atlas, der das Land Utopia nicht enthält, ist es nicht wert, dass man einen Blick darauf wirft, denn es fehlt das einzige Land, in dem die Menschheit immer landet.“ So urteile der Schriftsteller Oscar Wilde über Kartenwerke. Wer dieses Buch nur flüchtig durchblättert, wird Utopia nicht finden, wer sich aber die nötige Zeit nimmt, der kann und wird es durchaus finden bei den oft aufregenden Entdeckungsreisen durch die Ökologie, Biodiversität, Landnutzung, Bevölkerung, den Siedlungsraum und den Tourismus in Österreich. Fast immer fällt dabei der Kontrast von alpinen und außeralpinen Regionen unseres Landes auf. Kleinkammerung, Höhenstufung, Vielfalt und kulturelles Erbe sind charakteristisch für den Gebirgsraum - und wer verliert sich dabei nicht gern in Träumen von Arkadien oder gar Utopia? Dennoch: Das Buch bietet vor allem Fakten, die mit dem konkreten Raum verbunden sind. Es informiert im Kartenbild und im Begleittext, der durch instruktive Abbildungen - Diagramme, Tabellen, Fotos - ergänzt wird. So bietet dieses Buch beides: Sachliche Information und anregende Unterhaltung. “A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.” This was Oscar Wilde’s judgement concerning atlases. If one looks through this book too quickly, one will not find utopia, but when taking enough time, the often exciting journey through Austrian ecology, biodiversity, land use, population, settlement areas and tourism indeed becomes a glance at near-utopia. The contrast between the alpine and non-alpine areas is always easy to see. Great variation within relatively small areas, diversity through altitude ranges and in cultural heritage are all characteristic of mountainous areas. Who doesn’t get lost in dreams of Arcadia or even of utopia? Nevertheless, the atlas presents details that are above all related to concrete places. Both the maps and the accompanying texts, which are supplemented with helpful illustrations including diagrams, tables and photos, are informative. Thus, while offering clear facts this volume remains appealing and entertaining.

International Research on Metropolises

This volume of ISR-Forschungsberichte contains the quintessence of speeches of the two-day-conference at the Institut for Urban and Regional Research (ISR) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences on “Perspectives of Geographical Research on Latin America for the 21st Century”. This means an innovation in the conference scene on Latin American issues in Austria. Not contrac- ting on research results so much, but rather on gaps and new questions, it is orientated towards new perspectives of inverstigation allowing the ISR to take certain position within future key areas of research on Latin America. 

Perspectives of Geographical Research on Latin America for the 21st Century

Inhalt: Die „alpine Stadt”: Bemerkungen zu Forschungsfragen und wissenschaftlichen Perspektiven – eine Einleitung – Zum Forschungsstand: Alpenstädte – De l’Identité alpine et des Villes des Alpes: Quelques éléments de réflexion sur la valeur et la nature de l’identité urbaine – Das Stadt-Land-Kontinuum im Alpenraum: Methodenvergleich zur Abgrenzung von Stadtregionen in verfingerten Raumsystemen – Globalisation et identité dans le sud de l’Arc Alpin: les Alpes-Maritimes et Nice – Die Internationalisierung des Tertiären Sektors: Metropolen des Alpenraumes im europäischen Städtesystem – Les destinations touristiques ex-claves des villes – Alpenstadt 2000 : Regionale Transformationsprozesse im Spannungsfeld von Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Kohäsion. eing amongst the small and medium-sized towns, the urban centres of the Alpine region have long tended to be on the margin of academic interest. It is only recently that transnational research projects have considered issues of settlement development, quality of life and the intelligent use of limited resources. The research report on the “Alpine town” represents an introduction to the topic, with academics of varying research interests and from different countries of the Alps presenting perspectives on urban research in the Alps. Attention is paid to the question of the delimitation of urban regions in the many branches of the Alpine valleys, and the perception of Alpine identity by the inhabitants, the role of tourism with its geo- graphical and socio-economic consequences, the involvement of the cities close to the Alps in the European system of towns and the regional transformation process in the field of tension between competitiveness and cohesion.
