The aim of this paper is to illustrate the MEVAP (Monitoring and EValuation of Protected Areas) methodology, Italy's contribution to the topic of evaluating the effectiveness of protected areas within the international landscape (WDPA IUCN, World Database on Protected Areas – Union for Conservation of Nature).
Since the incorporation of Spanish universities into the European Higher Education Area, teaching methodologies have been radically overhauled, creating a more open and student-centred educational experience that fosters self-directed, participatory, active, group-oriented and engaged learning (Márquez & Jiménez, 2014).
In contrast, anthrozoology is the study of human relationships with non-human animals and includes both the subject area and methodologies of ethnoprimatology [Fuentes, 2012].
But despite the increased complexity of area prioritization methodologies and their growing implementation (Pressey and Bottrill 2008), indicators suggest little success in limiting the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (Butchart et al. 2010).
The use of systematic reviews to produce rapid evidence summaries to inform decision-making is an area where methodology is still developing, although some methodological frameworks have been published.
Each manuscript needs to make a significant contribution to business research and provide an innovation in methodology, theory, and/or application, or provide a state-of-the-art survey of an important research area or methodology.
As Good argues, although a lot of research has been carried out in this areas, the methodologies have tended to provide inconclusive results.
Nevertheless, the scientists had established a strong presence in the field, especially in the area of methodology.
However, in the case of industrial clusters or complex industrial areas specific methodologies are needed to deal with high-impact low-probability (HILP) events.
The study aims to elaborate a complex research in a polluted industrial area; the methodology and the results besides being scientific they also represent an important educational material for the environmental engineering students.
