An eco-label for the airline industry?
2017
Abstract Air travel plays a vital role in today's life because it makes remote destinations accessible and short getaways possible. Despite its benefits, air transportation contributes heavily to climate change. Behavioral change is seen as a key driver in mitigating the environmental impacts of air travel. One way to encourage behavioral change is to use eco-labels. This study explores how an eco-label could be developed for the airline industry to function as a potential driver for behavioral change. 12 interviews with airline industry experts were conducted and thematically analyzed. Empirical results were then combined with prior research and the following five criteria essential for th…
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN DESTINATIONS: A LATENT CLASS SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS
2016
This article addresses a cross-destination research to study a key issue for the growth and competitiveness of the tourism sector, which is the perceived environmental sustainability of a destination. Particularly, a segmentation analysis is developed to examine potential unobserved heterogeneity across tourists regarding their perception of environmental sustainability of the destination. 918 tourists of five Mediterranean Sea Basin cities are studied using a latent class segmentation technique. Results show the existence of three differentiated latent clusters of tourists with low, medium and high perception of environmental sustainability respectively, confirming the validity of this var…
The Blue Flag Programme AS Pro-Environmental Behaviour Instrument for Coastal Destinations: Towards Municipal Coastal Governance and Communication
2021
The research focuses on evaluation of the Blue Flag programme implementation in Latvia since the year 1998, when the programme’s operations started. It includes analysis and an overview of both the national and local level impacts and the results of the programme implementation. With regard to national level, approach and experience, the overview focuses on effectiveness and the role of the Blue Flag programme as a supporting instrument for successful implementation of environmental legislation. This programme is also analysed as a communication instrument in promoting environmental policies within 500 km long of coastline areas, which in Latvia are announced the national interest territori…
The atractiveness and competitiveness of tourist destinations: A study on Southern Italian regions
2009
The present paper aims to assess the relative attractiveness of competing tourist destinations on the basis of individual visitors' perceptions regarding a holiday destination. Using the feeling of tourist well-being achieved by individual tourists we evaluate indirectly the competitive ability of the tourist area to offer a compound tourist site attractiveness. The methodology employed here uses individual survey questionnaires on the tourists' evaluation of the quality of tourist facilities and attributes in a given area (the 'regional tourist profile') as the basis for constructing an aggregate expression for the relative attractiveness of that area. Using various multidimensional statis…
Efficiency and Productivity of Italian Tourist Destinations: A Quantitative Estimation Based on Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquidt Method
2006
This paper aims to provide a statistical analysis of the relative economic performance of Italian tourist areas. It uses two modelling approaches to estimate the competitiveness of these regions, viz. data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist method. Our results show that the competitiveness position of several Italian regions has not improved over the years under consideration.

El Maghreb: crecimiento demográfico, empleo y emigración
1992
En aras de un mayor aprovechamiento docente de la investigación, sería deseable que los geógrafos españoles ahondasen en el estudio de otras regiones. Para nosotros la importancia del Maghreb está fuera de toda duda: proximidad geográfica, flujos migratorios, etc. Desde el momento de su independencia política, esta región norteafricana ha conocido un extraordinario crecimiento demográfico, que continua en el momento actual, como resultado de la progresiva reducción de la mortalidad y del mantenimiento de una elevada fecundidad. Las diferencias entre los países del área obedecen al rol de la mujer, fuertemente condicionado por las políticas gubernamentales etc...
Introducción a Algunas lecciones sobre el destino del sabio de J.G. Fichte
2002
La obra de J.G. Fichte (1762-1814) es decisiva para entender la evolución del kantismo, el surgimiento de los grandes sistemas del Idealismo y su fragmentación romántica. Algunas lecciones sobre el destino del sabio (1794), su polémico bautismo académico es la Universidad de Jena, constituyen un crisol en el que se fraguan los temas fundamentales en torno a los cuales va a girar desde entonces toda su reflexión filosófica. En estos discursos populares y edificantes, que se ocupan del siempre punzante tópico del compromiso político del sabio, descubrimos, amén de una antropología dinámica con la vista puesta en el Yo puro, los lineamientos de una ética de la ciencia, una filosofía de la hist…
Traduir sota la dictadura franquista, traduir clandestinament: Poesia (1944-1945) i Ariel (1946-1951)
2013
After the Spanish Civil War, Francisco Franco’s dictatorship banned Catalan translations for a decade. But in 1948, Carles Riba’s translation of the Odyssey and Josep Maria Sagarra’s translation of the Divine Comedy were published, albeit with severe restrictions. These restrictions remained virtually unchanged until 1962, when the regime began allowing the publication of Catalan translations without prior censorship. In the 1940s, when the repression was at its fiercest, two clandestine journals in Catalan, Poetry (1944-1945) and Ariel (1946-1951), regularly translated a portion of one of the classics of Western literature, and also published contemporary and avant-garde material as well a…
