Environnement et tourisme dans les territoires fragiles : le cas des zones humides de la Sardaigne1
No full textDuring the 20th century two main interventions have been intended for coastal wetlands in
Sardinia. Throughout the first part of the century Sardinian wetlands have been targeted for
drainage to obtain productive agricultural land. At the end of the forties, wetlands were drained in
order to eradicate malaria. From the second half of the 20th century ponds become significant also
for nature conservation and tourism development (see the case of Doñana in Spain and the
Camargue in France). In Sardinia wetlands are important as avifauna habitats (see the Ramsar
Convention), tourism attractions and environmental conservation sites. In this paper we will present
the process of tourist promotion of wetlands, the opportunities and the risks of this process with
some empirical cases

Jasmines for tourists. Heritage policies in Tunisia
No full textThe chapter focuses on four cases that have been empirically investigated by the authors over the last ten years. Case studies concern mass tourism destinations supporting some heritage policies or important heritage sites. The attention is focused mainly on Carthage as a nationalist symbol; Djerba, a mass tourism destination characterised by a multi-cultural heritage; Uthina, an ancient Roman colony that provides an interesting insight into the role heritage sites played in Regimes as welfare tools and finally we look at the crisis affecting the traditional pottery sector in Cap Bon, the leading tourist region in Tunisia and particularly in Nabeul. Starting from the cases the chapter shows the role of heritage in incorporating territories into the global tourism market, in developing a national mythological past and provides some suggestions on how heritage strategies can be influenced by the recent revolutionary events in Tunisia
La transizione paesaggistica del sistema ferroviario della Sardegna
No full textLe immagini del processo di infrastrutturazione del territorio create dalla geografia industriale, capaci di fornire grandi informazioni sui siti, sulle tecniche usate, sugli scambi commerciali attivati hanno lasciato sullo sfondo la partecipazione delle maestranze e la percezione delle popolazioni, i processi di reinsediamento della popolazione attivati o favoriti, le trasformazioni territoriali e i cambiamenti ambientali che li hano accompagnati. In un momento nel quale si osserva uno sforzo generalizzato di definizione o di creazione di vocazioni turistiche e di reidefinizione delle tipicità e dei caratteri del paesaggio rurale dei territori in questione, l'ipotesi di una riconversione delle linee ferroviarie secondarie secondarie o dismesse per usi turistico-ricreativi fornisce elementi di riflessione importanti sul ruolo del paesaggio
