Torres del Paine National Park (12th Region, Chile), the Paine Massif and its surroundings are a major milestone concerning three issues: the perception of nature in the Patagonian-Andean environment, the first steps of conservationism in South America and the first scientific studies in this part of the planet. In addition, ever since scientists and travelers were to "discover" this region, Paine has been a benchmark of both the first proposals for nature tourism linked with conservationism, as well as a major challenge for alpine expeditions. Due to these circumstances, the doctoral dissertation of the author devotes one entire chapter to analysing the main contributions of the Paine phenomenon to the geographical knowledge of inland Patagonia and to the perception of Torres del Paine as a natural heritage worth preserving. This is precisely the subject of this paper, which gives an insight into the geographical reconnaissance explorations that took place between 1877 and 1896 in the Patagonian inland, under the initiatives of Chilean and Argentinean governments; the first known touristic travel in the Chilean region of Magallanes; the role of the first "visionaries" of Patagonian-Andean tourism in Chile, gathered around Werner Gromsch and the Touring Club; or the geographical, scientific and informative work carried out by Alberto Maria De Agostini. Finally, the article discusses the first alpine expeditions which targeted the summits of the Paine Massif. ; El Parque Nacional de las Torres del Paine (XII Región, Chile), el Macizo Paine y su entorno, constituye un hito en la imagen de la naturaleza del mundo andino patagónico, en los inicios del primer conservacionismo de América del Sur y en los estudios científicos sobre esa parte del Planeta. En relación con ello, además, el Paine ha sido, desde su "descubrimiento" científico y viajero hace más de un siglo, un referente fundamental de las primeras propuestas de turismo de naturaleza asociado a la idea de la conservación y un reto de primer orden para las ...

The renewed interest in landscape, promoted by the European Landscape Convention of the Council of Europe (2000) (CEP), has been incorporated into the political agenda and into the legislative and instrumental developments of Spanish public administrations, particularly those of the Autonomous Communities and some local administrations. Despite the topicality of the landscape issue, landscape as an object of protection has traditionally been present in Spanish legislation, both in the protection of nature and cultural heritage, as well as in urban planning and other types of sectoral regulations. The comparative study synthesizes the profuse and diverse treatment of landscape in state and autonomous community legislation. The last part deals with the advances and innovations introduced by certain specific laws on landscape approved by the Autonomous Communities for the protection, management and planning of landscape as an element of quality of life and territorial heritage in accordance with the CEP and within the horizon of the Spanish Urban Agenda. ; El renovado interés por el paisaje, impulsado por el Convenio Europeo del Paisaje del Consejo de Europa (2000) (CEP), se ha incorporado a la agenda política y a los desarrollos legislativos e instrumentales de las administraciones públicas españolas, en particular, de las Comunidades Autónomas y de algunas administraciones locales. Pese a la actualidad de la cuestión paisajística, el paisaje como objeto de tutela ha estado presente tradicionalmente en la legislación española, tanto en la de protección de la naturaleza y del patrimonio cultural, como en la urbanística y en otro tipo de normas sectoriales. El Estudio comparado sintetiza el profuso y diverso tratamiento del paisaje en la legislación estatal y autonómica. En la última parte se abordan los avances e innovaciones introducidos por determinadas leyes específicas sobre paisaje aprobadas por las Comunidades Autónomas para la protección, gestión y ordenación del paisaje como elemento de calidad de vida y patrimonio territorial, de acuerdo con el CEP y en el horizonte de la Agenda Urbana Española.

Green infrastructure (GI), as a concept and as a tool for environmental land-use planning at various scales, has burst onto the academic, political, and policy-making scenes in the last two decades. This tool, associated with strategic planning, offers integrated solutions for improving the ecological connectivity and urban resilience of open spaces, especially those affected by processes of urban sprawl, the abandonment of agriculture, and the territorial fragmentation of habitats and traditional agricultural landscapes. In spite of the advantages of GI, its design and implementation face a range of challenges and limitations. In this context, this paper has two objectives: Firstly, to address a critical review of recent literature on the subject, which, among other things, highlights the lack of references to the role of peri-urban agriculture in GI planning, and the positive contribution made by peri-urban agriculture to the local food supply and other regulatory and cultural services. Secondly, to propose a methodology to contribute to integrating practical GI planning in metropolitan regions to maximize the activation of traditional agricultural landscapes and the improvement of landscape connectivity in metropolitan regions for the reconnection of rural-urban relationships ; This research has received funding from the research project "Paisaje y Huerta de Madrid" (PDRR-I8 agreement Autonomous University-IMIDRA) co-financed by the European Union through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Foodstuffs and the Environment and the Community of Madrid-IMIDRA Rural Development Program 2014–2020, and the ongoing research project SAMUTER from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Foodstuffs and the Environment, in the 2018 call, submeasure 16.1 within the framework of National Rural Development Program 2014–2020
