The management of Natural Capital. The case of Valencian Country

This paper shows the case of Natural Capital management in Valencian Country. The objective is to analyse the efficiency of this management over the last years, and discuss about how we can improve it. Two kinds of aspects have been analysed: some indicators about the evolution of environmental resources; and the urban plans approved by a process of strategic environmental assessment. These analyses allow to know if Valencian Natural Capital improves or not and if the territorial planning processes have been efficient or not. The results allow a discussion about inefficient environmental management and suggest changes to improve it.
