Abstract

Sanchez Medina A. J., Melian Gonzalez A. and Garcia Falcon J. M. (2007) Intellectual capital and sustainable development on islands: an application to the case of Gran Canaria, Regional Studies 41, 473-487. Sustainable development is an objective for any territory, especially when the territory is a small island. To achieve the goal of development and conservation of natural resources, the ideal would be to base a good part of the island's economy on intangible assets, such as culture or knowledge, since they neither depreciate nor erode with use. This work proposes a model designed to enable the identification and measurement of the principal intangible assets that contribute to island territories' achievement of sustainable development. In this work, the model is applied to the island of Gran Canaria, Spain. Sanchez Medina A. J., Melian Gonzalez et Garcia Falcon J. M. (2007) Le capital intellectuel et le developpement durable des iles: etude de cas de la Gran Canaria, Regional Studies 41, 473-487. Le developpement durable constitue un objectif de tout territoire, surtout quand le territoire en question est une petite ile. Afin de realiser le developpement et la protection des ressources naturelles, on devrait focaliser en principe une part non-negligeable de l'economie de l'ile sur les immobilisations incorporelles, telles la culture ou la connaissance, parce que leur valeur ne se deprecie, ni s'erode sur le temps. Cette etude propose un modele qui facilite l'identification et la mesure des principales immobilisations incorporelles qui contribuent a la realisation du developpment durable par les territoires insulaires. Dans cette etude, le modele se voit appliquer a la Gran Canaria, en Espagne. Capital intellectuel Territoire insulaire Developpement durable Sanchez Medina A. J., Melian Gonzalez und Garcia Falcon J. M. (2007) Geistiges Kapital und nachhaltige Entwicklung auf Inseln: Anwendung auf den Fall Gran Canaria, Regional Studies 41, 473-487. Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist ein Ziel fur jedes Gebiet, insbesondere wenn es sich bei dem Gebiet um eine kleine Insel handelt. Um das Ziel der Entwicklung und des Erhalts naturlicher Ressourcen zu verwirklichen, ware es ideal, einen Grossteil der Wirtschaft der Insel auf immaterielle Guter zu stutzen, also zum Beispiel auf Kultur oder Wissen - denn diese Guter verlieren weder an Wert, noch verschleissen sie durch Gebrauch. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Modell vorgestellt, mit dem sich die wichtigsten immateriellen Guter identifizieren und messen lassen, die zur Verwirklichung nachhaltiger Entwicklung auf einem Inselgebiet beitragen konnen. Angewandt wird dieses Modell in diesem Beitrag auf die Insel Gran Canaria, Spanien. Geistiges Kapital Inselgebiet Nachhaltige Entwicklung Sanchez Medina A. J., Melian Gonzalez y Garcia Falcon J. M.
