Aim
The aim of the project is to develop a methodology for the management and resolution of environmental conflicts characteristics for Natura 2000 sites
Objectives
The specific objectives of the project are:
- Analyzing the contextual indicators with potential of activating/fueling the environmental conflicts in Natura 2000 sites
- Assessing the threats in Natura 2000 sites with potential of triggering environmental conflicts;
- Identifying potential areas of environmental conflicts concentration;
- Assessing the specificities of environmental conflicts in Natura 2000 sites;
- Developing the methodology for the management and resolution of environmental conflicts.
Expected Results:
- 3 papers with a cumulative impact factor of 8
- strengthening the relationships with young researchers from abroad research centers and implicitly publishing articles in transnational teams (the project target: minimum 1 article published in an ISI listed journal with the participation of 2 foreign researchers);
- increasing the odds to develop a career in the environmental protection field and inclusively in research through the training component of the project (statistical courses for using R, using Ucinet software, conflicts management);
- participating with 5 papers at international indexed ISI conferences or other professional associations;
