Resumo

Fire has historically been an environmental management tool for societies around the planet. In this sense, from Geography we conceive fire as an agent of landscape transformation. However, the current proliferation of the Great Forest Fires (GFF) presents numerous risks derived from the inability to control the virulence of the fire. Therefore, there is a need to develop new formulas for forest management and fire prevention. The objective of this research is hence to explore and disseminate possible synergies between community management of forests and the prevention of incendiary phenomena. The research is carried out in Galicia (Spain), an area of notable incidence of fire in southern Europe. This territory, characterized by its surface of forests, currently conserves a figure of neighborhood property land: the Montes Veciñais en Man Común (MVMC). In this context, the empirical work contrasts, firstly, a slightly lower recurrence of fires on Galician MVMC than on individual privately owned forests, although with a larger spatial dimension. Second, we analyze and disclose two cases of effective wildfire prevention practices in two different MVMC. By way of conclusion, the benefits and opportunities offered by communal forest management in the fight against forest fires are pointed out
