In connection with the IGU Regional Conference, in Lisbon August 1998, the Commission on Dynamics of Marginal and Critical Regions met at the University of Coimbra, August 2429. Following the Commission four year programme established in The Hague during the International Congress (1996) the theme announced for this meeting was Consequences of Globalization and Deregulation on Marginal and Critical Region Economic Systems and of the large number of contributions 20 are presented in this Environment and Marginality in Geographical Space book of the Spatial Aspects of Marginality-series being published by Ashgate in association with the IGU Commission on Dynamics of Marginal and Critical Regions. The two previous books of this series are: Perceptions of Marginality (1998) and Marginality in Space Past, Present and Future (1999).

This book on Environment and Marginality in Geographical Space discusses the issue of marginalization from the point of view of the environment by using the viewpoints of land-use, landscape and development. The aim of this book is to give the reader an overview of the issues at hand, while keeping a close connection with practical real world examples of what, where and how environmental issues manifest on marginal areas.

The editors would like to thank all the contributing authors for their work, and thanks are also due to the organisers of the Coimbra meeting that made this book possible. Although, there are many other people we would like to mention, special thanks are due to professor Maria Andreoli (University of Pisa) and to Hugo Cappella (University of Barcelona) and to Joo Fernandes (University of Coimbra) who have helped us in putting things in order and also pointed out mistakes that otherwise could still have existed in this final version.

Finally, we would like to thank Ashgate for the book series that has enabled the commission to publish much more of its work than initially was thought.

Introduction

HEIKKI JUSSILA AND ROSER MAJORAL

The question of the quality of the environment has grown in importance during the 1990s. The rightful concerns about the issues of global warming and global change have increased the importance of research dedicated to these issues. This book on the issue of Environment and Marginality in Geographical Space looks at the issues of environment and land-use as well as those of territorial marginalization and development from environmental point of view. The attempt of this book is to analyse the many faceted image of environment in geographical space.

This book is the fourth in the Spatial Aspects of Marginality-series of books produced from the research work done under the programme of the IGU Commission on Dynamics of Marginal and Critical Regions. The aim of this book is to develop and give new visions for the readers about the marginal regions of the world. This book is the outcome of a scientific meeting of the IGU Commission on Dynamics of Marginal and Critical Regions held in Coimbra in August 1998 in occasion of the IGU Regional Conference held in Lisbon. The conference had two themes that focused on implications of Globalization in Geographical Space and on Environmental Issues in Geographical Space. This is the second book being published from the conference, the first being that on the issues of Globalization in Geographical Space.
