Las voces del interior rural valenciano: recursos naturales y resistencias al desarrollo
2020
[EN] This paper shows the results of two territorial diagnoses for employment and local development carried out in two rural regions of the province of Valencia. These diagnostics showed that these territories have abundant natural resources, but that lack of competent actors to dynamize them properly; either because they lack the means to do so (access to sources of financing, transport or basic infrastructure), or because they are not trained for it (aging population with lack of training), or because they do not have enough initiative (installed in a comfort zone).
Integrating sustainability into the multi-criteria assessment of urban dietary patterns
2020
AbstractThis study develops a decision-making procedure to help policymakers compare alternative patterns for sustainable diets by reaching a compromise among three criteria: socio-economic perspective, health and environment (including carbon and water footprints). An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was performed in several stages. First, a total of 25 stakeholders (members of organizations on the Valencia Food Policy Council) evaluated criteria that are relevant to the sustainability of diets. Secondly, a workshop with 14 experts from different backgrounds evaluated by consensus four dietary alternatives: Mediterranean, flexitarian, pescatarian and vegan. In terms of environment, exper…
¿Cómo se puede mejorar la competitividad de las cooperativas agroalimentarias?
2017
[ES] El entorno de alta competitividad que existe en los mercados agroalimentarios ha incrementado notablemente la presión sobre todos los agentes que operan en ellos. En el caso de las cooperativas, debido posiblemente a su reducida dimensión empresarial, esta cuestión reviste especial importancia puesto que aboca a estas entidades a adoptar cambios que mejoren su competitividad y aseguren la supervivencia. Existe un buen número de trabajos que analizan el papel de distintos aspectos de gestión sobre la competitividad de las empresas en general, sin embargo no se ha abordado el grado de importancia relativa de dichos elementos. El objetivo de este trabajo es establecer una jerarquía en una…
Assessing eco-efficiency: A metafrontier directional distance function approach using life cycle analysis
2017
Sustainability analysis requires a joint assessment of environmental, social and economic aspects of production processes. Here we propose the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), a metafrontier (MF) directional distance function (DDF) approach, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), to assess technological and managerial differences in eco-efficiency between production systems. We use LCA to compute six environmental and health impacts associated with the production processes of nearly 200 Spanish citrus farms belonging to organic and conventional farming systems. DEA is then employed to obtain joint economic-environmental farm's scores that we refer to as eco-efficiency. DDF allows us to deter…
Perfiles innovadores en la agricultura valenciana
2013
[EN] Farmers are the main actors of innovation in the agricultural sector. This study focuses on the socio-economic profile of the Valencian farmer and his/her attitude towards innovation. Adopting a position inclined to innovate depends on multiple factors that influence bussiness management. This paper uses data from a farmers’ survey, which was designed ad hoc for the research, that considers the socioeconomic factors that make farmers take a position favorable to innovation. Later, the study focuses on a typical profile of innovative producers, according to their characteristics, taking into account market orientation, learning orientation and innovative attitude. The results show a pos…
Predictability of pharmaceutical spending in primary health services using Clinical Risk Groups
2014
Background: Risk adjustment instruments applied to existing electronic health records and administrative datasets may contribute to monitoring the correct prescribing of medicines. Objective: We aim to test the suitability of the model based on the CRG system and obtain specific adjusted weights for determined health states through a predictive model of pharmaceutical expenditure in primary health care. Methods: A database of 261,054 population in one health district of an Eastern region of Spain was used. The predictive power of two models was compared. The first model (ATC-model) used nine dummy variables: sex and 8 groups from 1 to 8 or more chronic conditions while in the second model (…
La senyalització dels recursos turístics del Centre històric d'Oliva: Diversificació i complementarietat en els productes turístics
2012
Des del punt de vista del cicle de vida del producte (Butler, 1990), Oliva es troba en la fase de maduresa i des dels poders públics se'n pren consciència, per a dur a terme polítiques de rejoveniment de la destinació. Oliva és una destinació de sol i platja consolidada a la costa valenciana, però l'estratègia de complementar l'oferta amb nous productes ha dut els go· vernants, des dels anys 90, a accions de valoració del centre històric. L'objectiu del nostre paper és mostrar ferramentes als investigadors en turisme i als policy makers locals i regionals, per a dur a terme polítiques de revaloració de centres històrics des d'un prisma turístic, mostrant una meto· dologia aplicable a altres…
Rol de la Economía Social y la Universidad en orden a un emprendimiento basado en el conocimiento tecnológico y los valores
2020
[EN] Objectives The present work aims to study the need for a more knowledge-intensive economy, especially technologically based, that allows to face the challenge of the so-called 4th technological revolution, contributing to the development of a more competitive society as well as with values. Thus, this work aims to do a revision of the reality of the spanish university and its role facing the technological challenge. In addition, it aims to make an analysis of the presence and weight of the social economy in the sectors most identified with the so-called fourth industrial revolution, to establish if there are economic and financial differences that explain the higher presence of the inv…
Cambio tecnológico, privatización y recuperación de la autogestión comunitaria del riego. El caso de Senyera (València)
2018
[ES] Los procesos de cambio de tecnología del riego están facilitando la penetración silenciosa de la empresa privada en los sistemas de gestión colectiva del riego en numerosos lugares de España y otros países mediterráneos. Este artículo analiza este fenómeno a partir del caso de estudio de Senyera (València), siguiendo la privatización, la disputa y la posterior recolectivización de la gestión por parte de los usuarios del riego. El trabajo muestra como la privatización menoscaba la autonomía de los agricultores y eleva los costes de gestión en un contexto de escasa transparencia. También revela la capacidad de los regantes para reelaborar su pasada acción colectiva, dando lugar a una nu…
