Conclusion of the intensive course for students in Valencia

This cognitive map is one of the outcomes of the intensive course for students organised within the activities of the Erasmus+ PECUS project.
The map shows the interactions among the factors contributing to the preservation of landscape, traditional sheep farming practices, and cultural heritage, according to the participants’ knowledge and experiences.
Plus and minus signs indicate whether the causal interactions are positive (direct proportionality) or negative (indirect proportionality), while arrow widths illustrate stronger or weaker interactions.
The Mental Modeler software was used for editing the map.
