A globalização atribui novos valores aos territórios no sentido em que eles se tornam atores de desenvolvimento, com novos e diferentes desafios. Atualmente, a gestão territorial
procura alcançar vantagens competitivas ao nível local relativamente ao desenvolvimento económico e territorial global. Uma das vias para valorizar o território é fazer uso de possibilidades de classificação nacional ou internacional. Entre estas formas de classificação estão a criação de geoparques, atualmente conectados numa rede mundial - o Programa Internacional de Geociência e Geoparques (PIGG). Um dos grandes objetivos desta rede é fornecer organizações competitivas em territórios onde algumas condições específicas se encontram cumpridas. Este artigo procura compreender a forma como os geoparques agem e quais os benefícios resultantes das atividades turísticas nesses espaços, prestando especial atenção aos geoparques europeus. Para atingir este objetivo, a investigação baseia-se na análise da anterior Rede Europeia de Geoparques (REG), onde tudo começou, procurando o conhecimento de como ela é reforçada institucionalmente através da aplicação de um questionário de levantamento para os geoparques. A análise destaca o importante papel desempenhado pela criação de instituições, reunindo vários atores, o que permite explorar elementos críticos para o sucesso dos geoparques.
ABSTRACT: Globalization assigns new values to territories in the sense that they become actors of development, with new and different challenges. Currently, territorial management seeks out to achieve local competitive advantages in relation to global economic and territorial development. One of the ways to value the territory is to make use of national or international classification possibilities. Among these forms of classification are the creation of geoparks, currently connected in a worldwide network - the International Geoscience and Geoparks Program (IGGP). One of the great aims of this network is to provide competitive organizations in territories where some specific conditions are met. This paper seeks to understand the way geoparks act and what benefits are resulting from tourism, paying special attention to European geoparks. To achieve this goal, the research is based on the analysis of the former European Geoparks Network (EGN), where all began, seeking the knowledge of how it is institutionally reinforced by conducting a survey to geoparks. The analysis highlights the important role played by the creation of institutions, bringing together several actors, which allows exploring critical elements for the success of geoparks.
