Abstract

Integrated sustainable development of mountainous regions has as objective to increase the economic investments to profit of residents of region, without however it influences drastic the natural environment. Green Infrastructure (GI) can be broadly defined as a strategically planned network of high quality natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features, which is designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and protect biodiversity. More specifically GI, being a spatial structure providing benefits from nature to people, aims to enhance nature’s ability to deliver multiple valuable ecosystem goods and services in perpetuity, such as timber, clean air or water. Above all, GI offers us a smart, integrated way of managing and development the natural capital. Aim of the paper is to indicate manners of integrated sustainable development with direct priority the conservation of natural environment in conjunction with the sustainable rural development. As research area is chosen the public forest complex of Ano Rou Mornou of Fokida Prefecture a typical example of a multifunctional GI one that can combine forestry, farming, housing, as well as tourism and recreational activities in the same space whilst at the same time keeping our freshwater systems clean, our air healthy and our wildlife safe. Advantages of registration in the form of a spatial tool, especially when many types of information participate, are presented and give us a visual potential of how can forest operation and ecosystem services can be create a large multi-functional landscape.
