ing the attraction of population to
this region, its tourist industry and
urban development. This research
aims to explore the significance of
cultural and historic resources for
the development of a greenway
network for the conservation of
landscape quality. The landscape is
studied in two levels (regional and
local), through two case studies:
northern municipalities of Lisbon
metropolitan area, and the municipality
of Amadora (in Lisbon
metropolitan area). This research
concludes that cultural and historic
resources have a high potential for
the development of greenway networks
in ancient settled metropolitan
Mediterranean landscapes, such
as in Lisbon metropolitan area.
Such a network can provide for the
conservation of landscape quality
and bring about development and
recreation opportunities. However
to thoroughly achieve these objectives,
the criteria for the assessment
of cultural and historic resources
have to consider diversified levels of
cultural and historic significance,
becoming therefore significant
resources for the economic development
and cultural identity at a national,
regional and local scale.”

“The American West has always
been seen as a land of opportunity,
but tourism has transformed it into
a land of opportunism. From Sun
Valley to Santa Fe, towns all over
the region have been turned over to
outsiders - not just those who visit,
but those who control.”

“Discussing water and its relationship
with people, this text
shows how early medieval Italian
societies coped with the problems
of having too much or too little
water, and analyzes their use of
it. Such treatment illuminates the
workings of both post classical
societies and of the environments
in which these societies lived.
Domestic usage, bathing, irrigation
and drainage, fishing, and
milling all receive full coverage.
This is an interdisciplinary study
which proves that even after the
“fall” of Rome, people continued
a dialectical relationship with
the natural resources that shaped
their experiences just as decisively
as their efforts redesigned the waterscape.
It may be of interest not
only to Italianists, but to historians
of technology, agrarian, social,
and cultural historians, and
environmental historians.”
