Extensive livestock farming in Valencian territorial development. Public recognition and social experiences

2019

El pastoreo es un modelo de producción ganadera, así como una forma de vida con importantes implicaciones sobre los territorios rurales a escala global. Sin embargo, el declive de los sistemas de explotación tradicionales y su conversión en formatos intensivos e industrializados ha abierto el debate sobre la sostenibilidad del sector ganadero. Por este motivo, las políticas públicas se han visto obligadas a elaborar estrategias y normativas que reconozcan los servicios prestados por el pastoreo extensivo, con medidas que apuestan por su protección y recuperación. En el presente texto se analiza el reconocimiento público del pastoreo en la Comunitat Valenciana, región administrativa que dura…

Las representaciones del saber académico: Aportaciones desde la Geografía Escolar

2019

When we talk with basic education´s teachers there is an impression in the case of learning Social Sciences, and Geography in particular that these sciences are not useful for the explanation of socio-environmental and daily problems. In this research, improvement proposals are sought so that students are motivated to learn about these problems. Based on two case studies such as flood risks (and their relationship with climate change) and the problems of the rural areas, the possibilities of combining motivation for learning close to personal emotions and with their own rigor have been explored of the conceptual explanation. To validate these results, quantitative and qualitative research t…

Geografías de la pandemia COVID-19 en España : el retorno del medio rural

2022

La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha supuesto en España la peor crisis de salud pública, económica y social desde la Guerra Civil. El virus ha causado miles de muertos y cientos de miles de infectados, con Cataluña y Madrid como territorios más afectados. Un primer análisis exploratorio muestra, con los pocos datos hasta ahora disponibles y fiables, que esta pandemia ha tenido una especial incidencia en los territorios urbanos con mayor densidad de población y niveles más elevados de contaminación, mientras que las áreas rurales, a pesar de tener mucha más población de riesgo y un sistema sanitario mucho más precario, han mostrado ser mucho más resilientes a la expansión del coronavirus. Todo ello…

Rural restructuring and local/regional governance in the Baltic States after 1990

2009

The aim of this paper is to discuss the restructuring of primary sector dominant rural areas in the Baltic States with a special focus on local governance and administrative structures. In the theoretical part, we elaborate on a principal transformation model for Baltic rural areas. Despite similar macro-economic processes in all three Baltic States, local and regional governance has developed differently and hypothetically, this has had a different impact on the economic development of regions. We have used statistics, legal documents, small case studies, observations and secondary sources of some more detailed studies for this paper.

Mapping traditional cultural landscapes in the Mediterranean area using a combined multidisciplinary approach: Method and application to Mount Etna (…

2011

Traditional cultural landscapes (TCLs) are prominent in Mediterranean countries. The abundance of this landscape type, however, is not reflected by broad-scale inventories and mapping tools. The aim of this paper is to highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to landscape analysis, with special reference to the Mediterranean area. We propose an integrated method that combines deductive and inductive processes to define and map TCLs in a study area (Mount Etna, Sicily, Italy). We also develop a procedure to characterize the primary components of these landscapes as a reference to be used in cultural-landscape descriptions. For mapping purposes, three different scales of analysis w…

¿Una sociedad congelada?: la representación de la sociedad rural en los museos

2014

Con frecuencia, los museos de temática rural nos ofrecen una visión idealizada y casi fosilizada de la sociedad rural. En este trabajo realizaremos un análisis de diversos tipos de muse os que nos per mita tratar los principales problemas que se plantean en la musealización de las sociedades rurales. A partir de un análisis de los problemas de conservación de los objetos, veremos la diversidad de soluciones que se dan ante las dificulta des de museografiar el patrimonio rural y veremos cómo a menudo estas soluciones no son únicamente el resulta do de la aplicación de discursos museológicos, sino que tienen que ver con las visiones sociales que se tienen de la sociedad rural en cada momento,…

Prévention et perception du risque en milieu rural

2019

Prevention in the rural sector is closely related to the notion that the individual has of his or her territory. More so than with other living environments, it requires better understanding of the representations of health, nature and risk in those living in the countryside. Levers for potential action can then be identified in order to promote behaviour favourable to health.

Identification of magnetic particulates in road dust accumulated on roadside snow using magnetic, geochemical and micro-morphological analyses

2010

The aim of this study is to test the applicability of snow surveying in the collection and detailed characterization of vehicle-derived magnetic particles. Road dust extracted from snow, collected near a busy urban highway and a low traffic road in a rural environment (southern Finland), was studied using magnetic, geochemical and micro-morphological analyses. Significant differences in horizontal distribution of mass specific magnetic susceptibility (χ) were noticed for both roads. Multi-domain (MD) magnetite was identified as the primary magnetic mineral. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses of road dust from both roads revealed: (1) angular-shaped particles (diameter ∼1–300 μm) mo…

Frugivorous birds dispersing braconid parasitoids via endozoochory

2008

Adult braconid wasps (Bracon sp.) emerged from the droppings of frugivorous birds (Turdus blackbirds and thrushes) collected in a rural environment in southern Europe. It was thus demonstrated for the first time that an insect parasitoid of a fruit-infesting insect (lepidopteran tortricid) can survive bird ingestion and gut passage inside a seed (privet Ligustrum vulgare), constituting a case of an evolutionary tetrad.

La crisis del modelo tradicional de regadíos del interior valenciano. El caso de Cortes de Pallás: paisajes del agua y patrimonio cultural

2020

Los sistemas tradicionales de regadío forman un legado que se manifiesta mediante lo que conocemos como paisaje y patrimonio del agua. En las áreas del interior valenciano se experimentan disfunciones socioeconómicas que se evidencian paisajísticamente. A partir del análisis en profundidad de un caso de estudio como es la huerta de Cortes de Pallás, en el sector septentrional del macizo del Caroig, se valora si los procesos en ella identificados explican las dinámicas de crisis de los regadíos históricos del interior. El abandono de una parte destacada de las parcelas ha sido una práctica común, aun manteniéndose su morfología y una red de acequias que sigue en funcionamiento. Els sistemes …
