Despite having one of the fastest rates of wind power growth in Europe, offshore wind power development in Spain has been relatively slow. One of the factors affecting its deployment is strong local opposition. In this paper, we explore the main factors affecting local perceptions of offshore wind farms in the coastal regions of Southern Spain. We also compare local opinions of on-land and offshore farms, their impacts on local landscapes/seascapes, and their compatibility with local practices and values. To this end, a multi-phase research approach was applied, based on several stages of data collection and analysis and on surveys conducted between 2012 and 2022. Our study shows that the conflicts surrounding offshore wind farms are linked to the perception of the sea and the wind as important local resources and the perceived right of the coastal region to use these resources to generate wealth for their communities. The coastal communities’ values, perceptions, and practices regarding the sea have a fundamental influence on their opinions. Our research indicates that local people are more likely to accept offshore wind farms if they provide socioeconomic benefits for their communities and if joint use of marine resources can be guaranteed

The inhabitants of Natural Protected Areas are often unaware of the scientific and heritage value of the natural environ‑ ment in which they live, although they are users and form part of its landscapes and landforms. The scientific community, in turn, does not always include the local population in research projects. Thus, it is necessary to implement mechanisms for participation and knowledge exchange. The scientific dissemination activity carried out at Castro de Ulaca, in the Sierra de la Paramera, in Ávila (Spain), was offered to the residents of the villages of the Natural Area and was focused on the relief, landscape and geomorphosites. The work, carried out through field work with the participants and surveys, shows the knowledge and opinions of the locals about the geomorphological heritage and the environmental protection of the area before the activity, and how it changes after it

The processes of urban sprawl that have been present over the past two decades in the different strata of the urban hierarchy have also affected, as a whole, medium-sized cities. The urban sprawl has been particularly pronounced during the period of expansive Spanish urbanism, in which many of the municipalities situated in the vicinities of large cities have been affected by major demographic dynamics and (sub)urbanisation development outside the traditional city limits. Sometimes, these processes have been greater than the nearby cities in the urban area where they are inserted. In this study, we examine the general mechanisms identified within an urban crown size (within a radius of 30 km) and at the scale of the municipality, based on an analysis of two distinct periods: one linked to a strong growth dynamic (2000–2008), and another related to subsequent crisis (2009–2016). A group of 23 inner medium-sized Spanish cities has been analysed, taking into account the trends of the population, the surface of unbuilt plots, the built surface, and the amount of housing. We have identified the typologies of their respective urban areas over the two periods considered.

This article presents a methodological proposal using the cadastre as a tool to analyze urbanization dynamics. It is backed by an in-depth review of the related literature concerning Spain and Mediterranean Europe. The work uses the cadastre as a source of information, specifically leveraging the urban parcels and real estate obtained from the CAT files. After the data were collected, interpreted and organized, complementary statistical and cartographic methodologies and tools were used, together with the required database management. The goal of the study was to analyze the behavior of five intermediate cities and their urban areas, with the aim of comparing the construction dynamics between the cities and the municipalities located in their respective areas of influence in the period 2000–2016. The work is framed within the debate on urban sprawl, sustainability and the need for tools for town and regional planning. The main conclusion of the work reflects the necessity of a better understanding of the processes of transformation in cities, in which the use of cadastral data is key, given its reliability and updated information, despite the difficulty involved in accessing the data structure.

Environmental problems endanger the sustainability and survival of our planet. A way to raise awareness of the seriousness of the current environmental situation among future citizens and instill proactive behaviors that place the environment at the center of decision-making is environmental education. This study analyzes nine primary and secondary education textbooks in order to see what environmental education students receive as part of the subject of geography across the years of compulsory education in Spain. These textbooks are published by three different and main companies, which are a good example of the adaptation of the official curriculum. The study was conducted using the design and development of a coding sheet combining analysis of format (quantitative) and content (qualitative). The results show much room for improvement there is in environmental education in Spain. This improvement should start from the organization of the curriculum and its subsequent transposition into the textbooks. Thus, many changes are needed if we wish to build a society capable of effectively solving the threat of the environmental problems that surround us.

Desde comienzos del siglo XXI se han acentuado los procesos de transformación de las ciudades, con considerables efectos en sus áreas próximas. La atención se ha dirigido tradicionalmente hacia las grandes ciudades, aunque el fenómeno se ha reproducido con especial intensidad en otros escalones de la jerarquía urbana. En este caso se ha analizado lo sucedido en las capitales provinciales de Castilla-La Mancha. Se ha optado por una combinación metodológica, basada en el método AHP, el análisis clúster y valoraciones de los investigadores, empleando variables de distinta naturaleza (relacionadas con la población, el suelo urbano y la vivienda). El objeto del trabajo es establecer una propuesta de área urbana, así como una clasificación de los municipios en función de las dinámicas que han experimentado a lo largo de la serie temporal seleccionada (2000-2016). Las principales conclusiones dejan como balance intensidades y alcances diferentes de los procesos de dispersión urbana en las ciudades intermedias de Castilla-La Mancha.

Gerra is small beach located at the foot of a cliff on the Western coast of Cantabria (North of Iberian Peninsula). It has a sandy distal part and a proximal part at the foot of the cliff made up of boulders, supported by rockfalls and landslides from the cliff. Claystones, limestones and marls of the Triassic and Cretaceous ages form the cliff. To study geomorphological processes, a geomorphological map was drawn up; analysis of the beach deposits as texture, granulometry and Atterberg limits; analysis of photogrammetric flights between 1957 and 2017; drone flights between 2017 and 2020; and geomatic monitoring of the cliff and the beach by means of a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) between 2012 and 2019. The processes involved in the coastal dynamic and retreat of the cliff and beach have been established, as well as the rates of erosion and retreat, which coincide with other beaches on the Cantabrian Coast. The current dynamics are characterized by the moderate regression of the coastline and greater regression and dynamism at the cliff-top, which implies the gradual degradation of the cliff due to loss of verticality. Among the factors involved in the cliff degradation, the main changes in the present and future evolution of the sea cliff can only be ascribed to sea level rise.

Analizar e interpretar el espacio público en la ciudad es una tarea complicada. Esta dificultad deriva de las características físicas y urbanísticas de aquellos sectores del espacio urbano definidos como tal, así como de los usos que se les otorgan y de sus significados sociales, siendo todo ello mensurado cuantitativa y cualitativamente por medio de una serie de índices, indicadores, dimensiones y cualidades. En el presente artículo se muestra una metodología propia con la que proceder al estudio de las plazas –entendidas como espacios públicos-, tomando como ejemplo para su puesta en práctica a la ciudad de Valladolid; y más concretamente a uno de los barrios o zonas más expresivos de lo que ha sido la evolución de su estructura urbana.

Analizar e interpretar el espacio público en la ciudad es complejo. Esta tarea supone considerar los rasgos físicos de aquellos lugares definidos como tal, así como sus usos y significados sociales, siendo medido todo ello, tanto cuantitativa como cualitativamente. En este artículo, tras una breve aproximación al concepto en cuestión, se da cuenta de una metodología propia con la que proceder a su estudio y caracterización, tomando previamente para ello, como laboratorio de ensayo, a una zona bien delimitada de la ciudad de Valladolid. En suma, se define un modelo de evaluación de las cualidades del espacio público a través del cálculo y representación de indicadores urbanísticos y del diagnóstico vecinal, por medio de la participación, que sirva, en su aplicación, como mecanismo para valorar –también para actuar e intervenir- determinadas relaciones ciudadanas con la ciudad (partes).

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, a través de correlación espacial por medio de Regresión Geográficamente Ponderada (GWR) el desigual peso de distintas variables explicativas relacionadas con el lugar de residencia de estudiantes universitarios en la ciudad de Concepción (Chile). Pese a existir una cantidad creciente de literatura desde las “geografías estudiantiles” sobre las motivaciones residenciales de los estudiantes, existe un vacío en cuanto a estudios generales y con un carácter transversal. Por ello, tras georreferenciar individualmente más de 11000 puntos, correspondientes a la residencia temporal de los estudiantes universitarios de las tres universidades principales de Concepción, se analizó la relación de esta variable dependiente con otras variables socioeconómicas provenientes de fuentes secundarias (variables independientes). Los resultados, interpretados en base a la literatura especializada, mostraron una mayor importancia de la conectividad con el campus, la oferta de vivienda en edificios de apartamentos y la presencia de grupos de renta alta, media y media-baja.

Desde fi nales de la década de los ochenta del siglo pasado, se aprecia de forma nítida un auge global de las prácticas urbanas de corte neoliberal. El ejemplo de Chile, país en el que se inserta el caso de estudio (la ciudad de Concepción), resulta especialmente llamativo por las reformas estructurales de corte político, económico y jurídico que lo posicionan como el primer país de implantación de reformas neoliberales en América Latina. Tomando como referencia los trabajos sobre la infl uencia de los estudiantes universitarios en las ciudades, este artículo se interroga sobre el vacío existente respecto a las experiencias neoliberales desarrolladas por individuos dentro del arriendo estudiantil. A partir de una metodología cualitativa, apoyada en los resultados de una encuesta más amplia y en la revisión de la literatura, se elabora un análisis de las prácticas neoliberales de los arrendadores sobre tres ejes: el emprendimiento, el desarrollo de estrategias de mercado y la responsabilidad individual. Los resultados permiten interpretar este proceso dentro de la confi guración de una sociedad crecientemente neoliberalizada, en la cual las dinámicas de mercado ocupan progresivamente nuevas esferas hasta entonces privadas.

This manuscript reviews the urban growth process in the Temuco-Padre las Casas conurbation (Chile) on indigenous land, highlighting three topics of great interest. First, the ability of legislation to regulate the protection of indigenous land. Second, the role played by the real estate sector as the main protagonist of urban expansion on indigenous land. Finally, the subsidiary role of those who should be the main actors: indigenous communities. The consequence is a process of material and symbolic dispossession of the Mapuche population, which reinforces the dynamics of settler colonialism existing in the region and presents parallels and divergences with other international cases. For this, the methodology used combined quantitative data with qualitative information, spatializing the former and giving greater weight to the latter as an interpretive key. The results reflect a disagreement between a legislation incapable of regulating urban growth and responding to indigenous demands, and a reality marked by increasing pressure on the Mapuche population and lands. This shows a situation that is present in Chile but can be extrapolated to other countries in the region.

The arrival of the coronavirus in 2020 brought major changes to education, with the rapid transition to online classes being the most significant. In the case of university students, the pandemic meant returning to their homes, which can be interpreted as a temporary destudentification. This manuscript analyses and interprets the motivations of university students from Temuco (Chile) to change their social relations and place of residence as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a quantitative methodology that used more than 800 online surveys and a principal component analysis, it was concluded that the psychological well-being and the security provided by the family were the main causes for changing accommodation; but a total of four main components related to material conditions, economic aspects, family and psychological and physical well-being were identified. Similarly, although with the pandemic the family was the most reinforced dimension in terms of social relations, there were groups of students who were more connected to friends and colleagues or neighbours. The results point to a partial and temporary destudentification, explainable by the nature of the lease contract and the dependent role of the students with respect to the landlords.

Una de las consecuencias más estudiadas de la producción del espacio urbano es la aparición de sectores vulnerables en las ciudades. Este trabajo, a partir de una explotación novedosa de la información de la Sede Electrónica del Catastro, plantea la construcción y aplicación de un indicador sintético para medir la vulnerabilidad urbana a escala de parcela catastral. Para ello, como se justifica más adelante, toma como caso de estudio la ciudad de Valladolid. El método parte del diseño de una base de datos con variables de vivienda: antigüedad, superficie, valor catastral y tipología constructiva. Los resultados analizan la distribución individualizada de estas variables, la construcción de un índice sintético y un análisis de autocorrelación espacial. Esto permite aproximarse a la vulnerabilidad espacial desde una escala de detalle. Las conclusiones revelan la eficiencia de este tipo de análisis aplicados a las problemáticas urbanas, abriendo a su vez, nuevos temas de investigación.

Se revisan los planteamientos metodológicos y las aportaciones recientes sobre la capacidad explicativa de las metáforas de la vulnerabilidad y la resiliencia, con una propuesta original y novedosa sobre su aplicación a los espacios desindustrializados. La eficacia de este enfoque depende de un diagnóstico riguroso del problema de la desindustrialización, lo que implica disponer de indicadores cuantitativos y cualitativos que permitan caracterizar y valorar tanto la situación de fragilidad y dependencia creada por la crisis industrial, como las respuestas que representan la capacidad adaptativa del territorio y el compromiso de los agentes implicados. Se trabaja con la hipótesis de que la resiliencia constituye una estrategia basada en acciones intencionadas que crean nuevas condiciones para el crecimiento y la revitalización urbana y local, aunque no se espera que los espacios desindustrializados retornen al punto previo a la crisis o el declive. Con el fin de validar dicho enfoque se realiza un ensayo empírico que toma como referencia la comarca litoral de O Morrazo (Pontevedra).

This article analyzes and interprets the changes produced in the neighborhoods of Agüita de la Perdiz and Las Tres Pascualas (Concepción - Chile) as a consequence of the arrival of university students. While international studies have recently mentioned the importance of studentification as trigger of physical, social, economic and cultural effects in traditional residential neighborhoods, Latin-American contributions on this topic are still few. From these premises, this paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of studentification by emphasizing the dissolution of community links, the economic heterogeneization of the neighborhood and the creation of a specific real estate market for the student sector as the main dynamics produced by their arrival and as facts that could be connected to economic policies of housing. In order to do so, the article employs a methodology based on combined quantitative and qualitative data from a fieldwork-based survey. Outcomes confirm the existence of common elements with other study cases, that, together with other specific ones, are explainable by the origins of both neighborhoods.
