A Tool to Assess Architectural Education from the Sustainable Development Perspective and the Students' Viewpoint
2021
[EN] Architectural education plays a fundamental role in achieving sustainable development by training future professionals who can contribute to sustainability through their practice. Nevertheless, to ensure the introduction of sustainable development in the education of future architects, it is fundamental to understand what is being done and what could be improved. Despite this, a big gap has been detected in the assessment of architectural education in Spain and worldwide. Thus, a close-ended questionnaire for students has been designed based on the outcomes from a literature review, exploratory interviews with specialists, and the qualitative analysis of two schools of architecture.

2016
[EN] The characteristics of people who are related or tied to each individual affects her activity-travel behavior. That influence is especially associated to social and recreational activities, which are increasingly important. Collecting high quality data from those social networks is very difficult using traditional travel surveys, because respondents are asked about their general social life, which is most demanding to remember that specific facts. On the other hand, currently there are different potential sources of transport data, which is characterized by the huge amount of information available, the velocity with it is obtained and the variety of format in which is presented. This s…
A qualitative study on the role of the built environment for short walking trips

Aproximación a la Geografía del despilfarro en España: balance de las últimas dos décadas
2018
Este trabajo pretende ser una primera aproximación a la dimensión del despilfarro de recursos públicos en infraestructuras en España desde 1995 hasta la actualidad en los distintos niveles de gobierno. A partir de algunas precisiones sobre los conceptos de despilfarro y corrupción, se analiza, de una parte, la inversión y los sobrecostes en infraestructuras innecesarias impulsadas y ejecutadas por la Administración General del Estado en el ámbito de sus competencias, y de otra, infraestructuras, proyectos, eventos e inversiones fallidas, vacías o infrautilizadas acometidas por las Comunidades Autónomas y los gobiernos locales. Se abordan los déficit de marco institucional y de gobernanza te…

Effects of the features of contemporary occidental cities on urban avifauna
2022
Desde los primeros asentamientos humanos permanentes del Holoceno, hace 10 000 años, hasta las ciudades contemporáneas, las aves han cohabitado con los seres humanos. En las últimas décadas la urbanización ha crecido exponencialmente en el planeta y, en 2030, más del 60% de la población mundial vivirá en zonas urbanas. En función de su tolerancia a la urbanización las aves se clasifican en tres categorías: evitadoras, adaptadoras o explotadoras urbanas. Las ciudades occidentales contemporáneas atraen a las aves por la presencia de recursos tróficos abundantes y predecibles, la reducción en la diversidad de depredadores o la provisión de estructuras donde ubicar los nidos, entre otras. Sin e…
Is experience a useful resource for business model innovation?
2016
ABSTRACTBusiness model innovation has been proposed as a powerful strategic tool, able to offer competitive advantage, create markets and even reshape industries. Despite these powerful effects, little research has been conducted into studying and improving business model generation methods, and even less study has gone into analysing how to define new business models that can exert a disruptive effect on markets and industries. Our work tries to fill this gap, analysing whether experience encourages or discourages the generation of disruptive business models. An empirical analysis was carried out using an experimental methodology. The results seem to contradict the currently dominant Resou…
