| Abstract: | This work highlights how forest fires (hereafter as: f-fr./f-frs.) could also be the result of the adverse effects of environmental policies related to the management of f-fr. emergencies. With regard to the area of the Gargano National Park (Southern Italy) and with the use of a panel data technique, it is attempted to observe the f-fr. phenomenon as related to some of the socio-economic conditions (here as: soc-econ. conds.). There is found a significant statistical relationship btw. the number of f-frs. and the unemployment level in the area. This provides evidence to argue that when setting up environmental safeguarding policies it is important to take into consideration the soc-econ. conds. of the area. |
