Recreational use of water storage reservoir in the municipality of Kluczbork
2015
Water storage reservoir in the Kluczbork municipality in Ligota Zamecka is located on the Stobrawa river. In 1997 the river flooded surrounding towns and villages. It was decided to build a reservoir that during successive flood states would protect residents. The aim of this study is to analyze the possibility of using water reservoir in Kluczbork municipality for recreation and tourism purposes. The results of two surveys conducted among residents of Ligota Zamecka have been analyzed. The residents could express their opinion about the project. The first questionnaire was conducted at the time when local community was only aware of the project to build retention and recreation reservoir i…

Tourism resources and their development in Maldive Islands
1985
Maldive Islands are characterized by a unique coral nature and thus they posses unique tourism resources though in a one-sided way, namely in the submarine and littoral environment of the islands, lagoons and reefs, associated with the year-round tropical climate. Therefore, not only divers and snorklers enjoy the profuse underwater resources, but also ‘beach tourists’ are attracted by the nature of the beaches and the climatic conditions as well. This environment really guarantees relaxation and recreation. Tourism in Maldives which was introduced in 1972 only, has successfully developed so far. Proof is given by the rapidly growing number of tourists and tourist ‘resorts’ (islands) over t…
Maldivian Tourist Resorts and their Environmental Impact
1993
In the past two decades, the Maldivians have built up a flourishing tourist industry. Tourist resorts have been established on hitherto uninhabited small islands and by 1990 the number of tourists has increased to nearly 200 000. The Maldivian tourist resorts represent a special type of tropical beach resorts catering only to the tourists’ needs for accommodation, board, leisure and recreation. They are distinctly separate from the islands inhabited by the Maldivians and intercultural communication does not take place. These resorts are in effect ‘tourist enclaves’. Holiday facilities in the resorts are clearly geared to the coastal environment - the beach, lagoon and reef. The impact of to…
Browsing hinders the regeneration of broadleaved trees in uneven-aged forest management in southern Finland
2020
Uneven-aged forest management has attained increasing popularity. It may benefit biodiversity, buffer against pests and abiotic damages, decrease runoff from clearcuts and improve recreational values. We studied how gap cuttings and single-tree selection cuttings influence browsing damage in spruce-dominated forests in south-central Finland. Overall, browsing damage was especially frequent in aspen and rowan, but also in birch. The larger the basal area left in harvesting, the lower the browsing pressure on birch and rowan; neither the harvesting method nor the seedling density had an independent effect on browsing damage. Although larger tree retention levels may reduce browsing damage, th…
HEALTH COVER, THE CASE OF MARTIN AND CAROLINA IN AUSTRALIA
2014
This research examines, from a qualitative perspective, some public opinion related to issues associated with the management of a tensed situation. In that process, it identifies some of the subtle differences in the Anglo-Latino cultural expectations. Martin, an Argentine tourist, contracted the Gullien-Barre syndrome in Australia, while enjoying his honeymoon vacation on a Tasmanian island with his partner Carolina. With the passing of days, Martin lost his mobility and was finally hospitalized in emergency. Doctors induced Martin into a coma temporarily because his muscles were paralyzed by the action of the virus. Health costs were more expensive than the family could absorb in Australi…
MIAMI: Turistas, Colonos y Aventureros en la última Frontera de América Latina
2013
Cuando alguien decide viajar, se deben dar dos elementos, hospitalidad, es decir una proteccion temporal y un motivo para hacerlo; si ambas cosas no se dieran, uno se encontraria frente a una conquista. En este contexto, Hernan Iglesias Illa, escritor de nacionalidad argentina radicado en Nueva York, trae este libro en donde combina una prosa llevadera con experiencias y vivencias de quienes han tenido que Migrar a Miami en busqueda de un mejor porvenir. Indescriptibles son las razones que llevan a una persona a abandonar su lugar de residencia, rompiendo temporalmente (en ocasiones en forma definitiva) con sus amigos, familiares, y recuerdos. En este sentido, Miami se transforma para miles…
Los movimientos psico-espirituales en la modernidad globalizada. Una mirada desde la ciudad de Valencia
2014
Desde la confluencia de diversas tradiciones espirituales y conocimientos procedentes del ámbito de la ciencia y la filosofía occidental, presentamos una primera exploración sobre la emergencia de una nueva realidad psico-físico-espiritual, que hemos detectado en distintos tipos de centros en la ciudad de Valencia: Centros de Terapias Holísticas, Tiendas de Productos Alternativos, Centros de Espiritualidad Oriental, entre otros. A partir de una metodología basada en la combinación de entrevistas en profundidad y observaciones nos hemos acercado a este proceso de reencantamiento del mundo, entendido como la emergencia global de una nueva espiritualidad holística, transversal y personal, que …
Duda y realidad: El uso político de los Derechos Humanos
2014
El siguiente ensayo filosófico trata el complejo tema de los desaparecidos en la última dictadura argentina, conocida como Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. El es tado nacional secuestró, torturó y asesinó a miles de ciudadanos sin un juicio oral y público pasando todo el andamiaje jurídico a la clandestinidad. Muchos niños fueron secuestrados y reconducidos a nuevas familias con una identidad cambiada. Con el retor no a la democracia, varias agrupaciones civiles buscan a esos niños de ayer que hoy son adultos. Pero ¿hasta que punto una persona puede ontologicamente asumir una identidad fuera de su vida biográfica? Nuestra tesis apunta a que el Kirchnerismo como proye cto ha tomado el tem…
¿Ritualidad versus modernidad…? Ritos, identidad cultural y globalización
2015
En la era de la post - modernidad, es posible preguntarse en qué han devenido los ritos. Éstos son considerados formas sociales y simbólicas garantes de la tradición y de la perennidad de las instituciones. ¿Estos ritos conservan un lugar y un interés en nuestra época, que ha hecho de la “espontaneidad” una palabra de orden? Este artículo muestra que si bien los ritos han evolucionado, han cambiado de forma y de contexto, ell os guardan funciones fundamentales para las comunidades que los utilizan. A su vez, estos ritos, son resistentes a los procesos de globalización.
