| Resumo: | The European Union (EU), through its initiative Natura 2000, established the classification and selection of protected areas at European level in order to ensure biodiversity conservation. However, there are not clear and uniform parameters to enable member countries to make the best decisions of zoning for biodiversity conservation. For this reason, a methodology based on evaluation of criteria importance for biodiversity conservation is presented in this thesis. The introduced methodology aims to establish relevant criteria that can be analyzed through statistical method of multicriteria analysis and interpolation of data with the kriginggeostatistical method. The objective is to verify the suitability of areas designated for Natura 2000 network in Castilla y León, Spain and to develop a proposal for zoning based on biodiversity importance values in consideration of land use. The proposed methodology was performed with basic criteria of biodiversity conservation that can be adapted and applied in different EU member countries contributing to an optimal selection of protected areas with clear and uniform parameters for zoning. |
