Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peripheral and ultra-peripheral territories, such as borderlands or islands, present very particular specificities, obstacles, and opportunities. In this regard, border territories face both physical challenges and administrative barriers. Therefore, exceptionally careful and coordinated strategic planning is vital to the success of these regions. Similarly, insular territories have many restrictions and opportunities. Land limitations, water resources, the overexploitation of tourism, and bureaucratic processes based on autonomous governments are just a few examples.
Therefore, bearing in mind the significance of sustainable development and the conservation of resources in the current moment, it is critical to further study and comprehend these territories' typologies in order to enrich sustainability’s ideology and principles.
In this context, this Special Issue will analyze these territories from different perspectives with the aim of defining new conservation strategies, processes, challenges, and tendencies.
