From: Territories in Transition: how social contexts influence wildland fire adaptive capacity in rural Northwestern European Mediterranean areas

Fig. 2

The figure illustrates primary processes that present enablers and barriers to local fire adaptive capacity in Mediterranean rural areas, as interpreted by expert interviews across study areas. Most processes are the result of rural abandonment and tertiarization, leading to repopulation of forest areas. Notice that rural abandonment and repopulation of forest areas are simultaneous, interconnected processes. However, rural abandonment begins earlier in the 1950s-60 s, and repopulation begins later, in the 1970s-80 s
