Destination Attractiveness Drivers among Urban Hostel Tourists: An Analysis of Frustrators and Delighters
2015
This study is based on data from 679 tourists staying at hostel accommodation facilities in Zagreb, a propulsive city-break destination in Central Europe. Besides providing insight into the socio-demographic and behavioural characteristics of hostel tourists, this study uncovers determinant destination attributes influencing their perceptions of destination attractiveness. In particular, impact asymmetry analysis identified potential sources of delight and frustration among hostel tourists. Since the hostel tourist segment, as such, is almost completely unconsidered in contemporary tourism research, partly covered only by a few studies on youth travellers and backpackers, the results of thi…

2015
Esta contribución muestra resultados de un estudio que se ha realizado en torno a un caso, concretamente un aula educativa en un hospital público de Valencia.

Dasymetric distribution of votes in a dense city
2017
[EN] A large proportion of electoral analyses using geography are performed on a small area basis, such as polling units. Unfortunately, polling units are frequently redrawn, provoking breaks in their data series. Previous electoral results play a key role in many analyses. They are used by political party workers and journalists to present quick assessments of outcomes, by political scientists and electoral geographers to perform detailed scrutinizes and by pollsters and forecasters to anticipate electoral results. In this paper, we study to what extent more complex geographical approaches (based on a proper location of electors on the territory using dasymetric techniques) are of value in…

Sharing-collaborative economy in tourism: A bibliometric analysis and perspectives for the post-pandemic era
2021
Sharing economy research has risen exponentially during the last 4 years. Although several theoretical revisions on this topic have been developed, a conceptual analysis based on bibliometric techniques and science mapping tools is lacking. Within this framework, this article has two aims: (i) to carry on a performance analysis to identify the outstanding themes and (ii) to visually present the scientific structure by topics of research in sharing-collaborative economy as well as its evolution to identify future directions. The resources in the Web of Science Citation Index were used. Intelligent techniques and, more specifically, the SciMAT tool (based on co-word analysis and h-index anal…

2019
espanolRESUMEN Introduccion: Uno de los aspectos psicologicos asociados a la vivencia del dolor cronico han sido los perfiles de personalidad y, relacionado con ellos, la resiliencia. En el dolor cronico la resiliencia se refiere tanto a la capacidad de volver atras tras el dano inicial como tambien a la de continuar con su funcionamiento habitual pese a la repeticion de los problemas. En este campo, sin embargo, no hay referencias sobre si la resiliencia se relaciona con los perfiles de personalidad. En trabajos previos se ha abordado la cuestion de los perfiles de personalidad relacionados con el dolor cronico. El objetivo de este trabajo es replicar los perfiles encontrados previamente, …
