Summary/Abstract: Peripheral areas, often lacking the industrial infrastructure, preserved an unpolluted environment, including the starry sky. The night sky is not polluted by artificial light of civilization. This natural resource should support the sustainable development of peripheral and marginalized regions. Dark Sky Parks (as tourist clusters) should conduct environmental education but also develop nature tourism (including astro-tourism) giving residents a source of income.
