Tourism as a tool for the enhancement and conservation of heritage represents an opportunity for many managers of cultural properties. However, despite the numerous works developed so far on tourism governance, the elaboration of preliminary studies for decision-making in heritage buildings is still a challenge. Considering the ecosystem services approach, an index is proposed which allows tourism and cultural heritage managers to analyze and quantify the level of tourist exploitation (use) of a monument for the services (benefits) that it offers to society. In this paper, a multi-criteria evaluation system was proposed, related to the main use of the building and its relationship with various tourism components, which have been classified as cultural, leisure, recreational, lodging, catering, intermediation, transportation, and event organization. The model has been applied to the Parroquia del Mar (Alicante, Spain) of great cultural relevance, but not exploited for tourism. The results obtained demonstrate the usefulness and validity of the model, considered as a tool capable of bridging the gap between heritage conservation and its touristic use, highlighting the importance of the services offered as necessary attributes for its (re)valuation, combining the social benefits of its exploitation, its touristic use and the awareness of its conservation and protection.

Legal-administrative borders in the marine environment rarely coincide with the boundaries of marine ecosystems and their ecological processes. Thus, cooperation in the processes of marine spatial planning (MSP) across borders is essential to apply an ecosystem-based approach. This research analyzes the usefulness of the work flow undertaken to promote cross-border cooperation in MSP for the European Macaronesia. Given the vast extension of the sea basin, it is especially important to define the cooperation scope. The planning of cross-border cooperation initiatives must consider the capacity of the different competent authorities to progress in the MSP process as well as the specific stage that each of the parties involved is. The importance of ensuring the engagement of all competent authorities across all work phases has been confirmed, but it is highlighted the relevance of including those authorities competent in foreign affairs. It is recommended that cross-border cooperation efforts go beyond the process strictly related to spatial planning of the maritime sectors and are used as tools to overcome structural limitations and enhance the natural advantages derived from the island’s condition of insularity and outermost regions. Thus, the proposed work process has proven to be useful as a roadmap to promote cross-border cooperation adapted to the legal-administrative singularities and to respond to the physical-natural and socio-economic realities of the case study.

Numerous human activities take place in the marine area of the Gulf of Cádiz, making it necessary to organize space through their spatial and temporal distribution. With the aim of combining the long-term conservation of marine biodiversity and the development of an economic activity that makes it possible to maintain over time the capacity of the marine environment to provide ecosystem services. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is being an effective process regarding the spatial and temporal distribution of human activities in the marine space to the achievement of ecological, economical and social objectives. MSP is usually schematized in 10 phases, in which among others it is found 5th phase: Defining and analyzing existing conditions. The aim of this document is the development of this phase in the Gulf of Cadiz, pretending to provide some of the needed basis to cope effectively with this process. Furthemore, in order to transfer the analyzes to the territory, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used, showing how useful these are to address PEM processes. It is worth highlighting, among the results, the need to develop the MSP within a framework of cooperation and coordination between the Administrations that undertake the planning and Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), that is, MSP and ICZM. In the Gulf of Cadiz, the main conflictive areas have been detected near to the coast and in semi-closed environments, such as bays and estuaries.

The rapid exploitation of coastal and marine ecosystemic capital is on course to reach a critical point. The difficulty of implementing Integrated and ecosystem based management models, taking into the account the great complexity of the marine socio-ecological systems, has resulted in a significant gap between theory and practice. The majority of authors emphasize difficulties in engaging and convincing private stakeholders and a number of economic sectors involved in these processes. This reticence is traditionally more pronounced in the port sector, despite their important role in the transformation of coastal and marine areas. This paper seeks to establish bridges between the Environmental Management systems and Tools (EMT) of economic sectors and the Integrated and Ecosystem Based Management models (IEBM). To achieve this goal, an effort has been made to rethink concepts and principles traditionally used in EMT to bring them into line with those of IEBM. A DPSIR adapted framework is proposed and applied in a conceptual model, where the necessary elements for environmental management tools and ecosystemic models coexist. The logic of ecosystem services has been included, with special attention to the variable of human behaviour. How the proposals fit into the reality of the maritime-port sector was analysed in a transversal way, seeking Socio-Ecological Port System (SEPS) perspectives. This made it possible to move from Environmental Management Systems to an Integrated and Ecosystem Based Port Environmental Management System (PEMS-IEB). From a managerial perspective, it was also suggested that an additional DPSIR framework should be applied to the "response" component, the management system itself, understood as a system with its own elements, processes and interrelations.
