poses due to deficient understanding of the concept of
sustainable development. The main objective of this article
is to theoretically present the governance of Natura
2000 in line with the sustainable development concept.
The research background encompasses the legislation
and institutions as the basis for the good governance of
Natura 2000. The literature review outlines the views
of several scholars and recommendations to improve
the governance of Natura 2000 according to the concept
of sustainable development. The conclusion points
to changes in behaviour in response to environmental
legislation and institutions.

Η παρούσα εργασία εντάσσεται στο πλαίσιο διδακτικής αξιοποίησης των εγγύς Προστατευόμενων Περιοχών, στο πλαίσιο της Περιβαλλοντικής Εκπαίδευσης. Ειδικότερα εστίασε στην περίπτωση των Προστατευόμενων Περιοχών της Περιφερειακής Ενότητας Δράμας και είχε σκοπό την καταγραφή γνώσεων, αντιλήψεων και στάσεων των εκπαιδευτικών της περιοχής σχετικά με τη διδακτική αξιοποίηση τους. Για τις ανάγκες της έρευνας κατασκευάστηκε ερωτηματολόγιο κλειστού τύπου το οποίο συμπληρώθηκε από 91 εκπαιδευτικούς. Από τα αποτελέσματα προέκυψε ότι όλοι οι ερωτηθέντες είχαν επιστεφτεί κάποια από τις Προστατευόμενες Περιοχές της περιοχής και σημαντικό ποσοστό αυτών θα ήθελε να τις αξιοποιήσει διδακτικά στο μέλλον. Ωστόσο, η έρευνα αναδεικνύει σημαντική έλλειψη στο γνωστικό υπόβαθρό τους, παρουσία λανθασμένων αντιλήψεων σχετικά με τις Προστατευόμενες Περιοχές και εμπόδια που αναφέρονται από όσους ήδη τις αξιοποίησαν διδακτικά.
Η παρούσα έρευνα είχε σκοπό τη διερεύνηση των γνώσεων και απόψεων των εκπαιδευτικών της Περιφερειακής Ενότητας Δράμας σχετικά με τις Προστατευόμενες Περιοχές της υπόψη Περιφερειακής Ενότητας και την εκπαιδευτική αξιοποίησή τους. Για τις ανάγκες της έρευνας κατασκευάστηκε ερωτηματολόγιο κλειστού τύπου το οποίο συμπληρώθηκε από 70 εκπαιδευτικούς. Από τη στατιστική επεξεργασία των απαντήσεων φάνηκε ότι όλοι οι ερωτηθέντες εκπαιδευτικοί γνώριζαν και είχαν επιστεφτεί κάποια από τις Προστατευόμενες Περιοχές της περιοχής έρευνας. Οι περιβαλλοντικές γνώσεις και οι πεποιθήσεις τους σχετικά με τις περιοχές αυτές προέκυψαν κυρίως από την εμπειρία τους καθώς λίγοι από τους ερωτηθέντες είχαν επιμορφωθεί και/ή συμμετάσχει σε θέματα Περιβαλλοντικής Εκπαίδευσης. Λίγοι ήταν επίσης όσοι είχαν αξιοποιήσει τις συγκεκριμένες Προστατευόμενες Περιοχές στην διδασκαλία δηλώνοντας σε μεγάλο ποσοστό ότι αντιμετώπισαν εμπόδια στην προσπάθεια αυτή.
