Este ... é um dos três pólos de valência turística e ambiental previstos, assim descrito:

“..., funcionalmente articulado com o arco ribeirinho, assume-se como pólo de valência para apoio ao turismo, recreio e lazer de muito baixa densidade, com uma forte componente ambiental, assim como área de vocação para a instalação de actividades de investigação e desenvolvimento ligadas ao meio estuarino.”

Obrigada por qualquer ajuda.

tourist and environmental focal point

"Focal point" is commonly used in English to mean "center, hub, heart". The expressions "tourist focal point" and "environmental focal point" are already common expressions in texts related to urban and rural planning.

If you are trying to create a compact expression for "pólo de valência", something that you can use easily throughout your document, I think this could be a useful route.

Good luck!

Portuguese term (edited): p�lo de val�ncia tur�stica e ambiental

priority tourist and environmental areas or center or set-asides

valência means strong...from valens força...I think they are referring to the fact that these places are priority places; they don't go so far as saying protected but that's the general idea in the background...I don't think value works because it's overly market sounding....

Actually, it might even mean ZONING:
LOOK:
A valência económica dos modelos de vinha, olival e cerealicultura intensiva assegura esta sustentabilidade, tornando-se, contudo, necessário estabelecer o quadro de normas técnicas que assegurem o seu equilíbrio nas vertentes económicas e ambientais.

A ***valência territorial (ordenamento e ocupação)*** dos sistemas de montado de sobro, de montado de azinho, de pastagens e de matos deve ser valorizada através de definição do normativo enquadrador da respectiva exploração e da maximização do recurso aos apoios agro-ambientais e agro-rurais da PAC, transformando os respectivos espaços em zonas de apoio às políticas de ordenamento agrário e de desenvolvimento rural.


FINAL: areas set aside for tourism and environment OR zoned as tourism and environmental areas
