Revue de Geographie Alpine-Journal of Alpine Research
Scope & Guideline
Empowering Researchers to Elevate Alpine Studies
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Climate Change Impacts:
Research exploring the effects of climate change on alpine ecosystems, including glacial retreat, permafrost warming, and alterations in biodiversity and natural resources. - Tourism and Recreation:
Studies addressing the evolution of tourism practices in mountain areas, including the impact of scientific tourism, wildlife observation, and the socio-economic implications of recreational activities. - Socio-Environmental Transitions:
Investigations into territorial conflicts, community adaptations, and the socio-political dimensions of transitions in mountain regions, particularly in response to environmental challenges. - Digital and Participatory Approaches:
Examination of the role of digital technologies and participatory science in managing mountain resources, fostering community engagement, and enhancing scientific understanding. - Cultural and Historical Perspectives:
Exploration of historical narratives, cultural practices, and local knowledge systems that shape the identity and development of alpine communities.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Adaptation Strategies:
A growing body of research is focused on strategies for adapting to climate change impacts in mountain regions, including the management of natural resources and community resilience. - Digital Transformation in Mountain Research:
The integration of digital tools and methodologies in research practices is on the rise, particularly in participatory approaches that engage local communities in scientific inquiry. - Sustainable Tourism Development:
Emerging studies emphasize the need for sustainable tourism practices that balance economic development with environmental conservation, particularly in light of climate change. - Socio-Ecological Conflicts:
An increasing focus on the conflicts arising from socio-ecological changes in mountain territories, highlighting the complexities of land use, resource management, and community rights. - Biodiversity and Conservation Efforts:
Research is increasingly addressing the importance of biodiversity conservation in alpine ecosystems, particularly in the context of changing climatic conditions and human activities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research focusing on conventional agricultural methods and their socio-economic viability in mountain areas has seen a decrease, potentially due to a shift towards more sustainable and innovative agricultural practices. - Conventional Energy Studies:
The exploration of traditional energy systems in the Alps, such as fossil fuels and non-renewable resources, appears to be waning in favor of discussions surrounding renewable energy and sustainability. - Historical Tourism Studies:
Papers analyzing the historical evolution of tourism in alpine regions, while still relevant, have diminished as new forms of tourism, like scientific tourism, gain prominence. - Static Land Use Studies:
Research focusing solely on static land use patterns without considering dynamic changes and adaptive strategies in response to environmental shifts is less frequently published.
