Über dieses Buch

This book raises awareness of environmentally friendly and resource-sparing management of winter sports areas, in order to increase the number of certified ski areas. Many ski areas today are advertised with seals of approval, titles and awards. Often, however, it is unclear which institutions and criteria are behind these appraisals. This practice is widely criticized as “green-washing”, since a cautious use of ecologically and scenically sensitive mountain areas is more important now than ever. An environmental management system based on international or European standards ensures “real” improvements and external evaluation, but relies on the personal responsibility of the providers rather than on regulations imposed by authorities. This book contributes to developing a trustworthy and unified system for such evaluation, and one that can be applied internationally.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Environmental management is getting more and more important for destination choice, green marketing and sustainable tourism offers. In the past, environmental measures were primarily imposed by conservation authorities. Nowadays, an increasing number of organizations choose to take a more active approach and address environmental issues in their management and marketing schemes. The introductory chapter highlights this voluntary application of environmental management systems by ski resorts and ski areas as a crucial opportunity for sustainable development.

Chapter 4. Establishing the Environmental Management System in Ski Areas
Abstract
This chapter covers the whole content of the environmental review and the related procedure for obtaining the required information. In this context, an overview on the legal requirements and a legal database are crucial components of the review which should also include safety aspects and emergency planning. The review gives an assessment of the current state encompassing all relevant environmental aspects such as geology and soils, climate conditions, vegetation, fauna, water, immissions, waste and the use of resources. To assist with the assessment and evaluation of these different environmental aspects, related checklists are provided. Finally, personnel participation during the environmental review and the implementation of actions with a clear definition of responsibilities and competencies are explained. The chapter closes with recommendations for communication and documentation.
