New York City, la più grande città del cibo italiano

2021

This work offers an analysis of Italian restaurants in New York City. Historical literature and anthropological has repeatedly highlighted the role that Italian emigration to the east coast plays of the United States and the spread of gastronomic clothes marked as Italian in foreign territory they had in the construction of a tricolor gastronomic effigy (in part. Montanari 2010; Cinotto 2001; Cecla 1998). This interdependence strengthens the relationship from a semiotic perspective with otherness as an indispensable condition for building an indigenous food identity and food stereotypies recognized as "typical". Tricolor food symbols such as pasta and pizza owe their nationalization, for th…

Uncertain sunset lives: British migrants facing Brexit in Spain

2020

One of the most concerned groups potentially impacted by the approval of Brexit in 2016 is that of the so-called “Brexpats”. This group of people is composed by at least 784,900 British citizens who are living in the European Union (EU), among which those settling in Spain are the most prominent. Spanish Brexpats are the largest British population outside the borders of the UK, except for in the Commonwealth territories. They have some peculiar characteristics, such as an advanced average age compared to other EU destinations; a large number of people living off the radar; geographical concentration within coastal areas; and a certain social isolation. In this context, the succession of new…

The perception of abandoned farmland by local people and experts: Landscape value and perspectives on future land use

2013

Abstract Abandonment of agricultural land is a common feature of areas undergoing a range of urbanisation and marginalisation processes across Europe and beyond. This is also the case in Latvia, particularly in the period since 1990, when after regaining independence from the Soviet Union land was restored to its previous owners or their descendants. Many of these people have moved to cities and lack the interest in or the necessary capital for starting farming enterprises. As a result, large areas of land were abandoned, leading to spontaneous afforestation and with associated changes in landscape structure, ecological function and aesthetic value. While there has been an increase in resea…

Accesibilidad y provisión de servicios de interés general en las áreas rurales de la Unión Europea: un análisis a partir del Eurobarómetro

2014

La finalidad de este trabajo es ofrecer un estado de la cuestión sobre el acceso y provisión de Servicios de Interés General (SeIG) en las áreas rurales de la Unión Europea. Se identifican fuerzas de cambio, oportunidades y dificultades relativas a los SeIG que pueden contribuir a impulsar o ralentizar los procesos de desarrollo rural. Se lleva a cabo una revisión de las principales aproximaciones teóricas y se presentan diversos análisis empíricos a partir de los escasos datos homogéneos disponibles. A partir del conocimiento adquirido se formula un conjunto de reflexiones sobre la función de los SeIG en los procesos de cambio rural en la UE.

Ordenación territorial supramunicipal de tipo bottom-up y top-down en España: el caso valenciano

2023

La principal entidad supramunicipal española actual es la provincia, cuya función primordial es apoyar a los municipios más pequeños que, a menudo, no pueden prestar los servicios que requieren sus habitantes. La escasa eficiencia que ha mostrado, en general, la institución provincial como entidad local, y la necesidad de crear una organización territorial autonómica propia y eficiente, ha llevado a las comunidades autónomas a implementar otro tipo de entes locales supramunicipales, tanto de tipo top-down (comarcas, áreas funcionales, áreas metropolitanas) como, sobre todo, de tipo bottom-up (mancomunidades, consorcios). Estos entes locales intermedios entre municipio y provincia tienen fun…

Who are the typical commuters in the post-socialist metropolis? The case of Riga, Latvia

2012

Abstract There have been important changes in the geographical mobility of the populations of post-socialist countries since the 1990s. Drawing on an extensive sample survey—the Geographic Mobility of the Labour Force survey conducted by the University of Latvia in 2006—this paper, examines the demographic and socio-economic differences between commuters and stayers in the suburbs, as well as commuting time. The results of the study indicate that people who have suburbanised over the past decade are much more likely to commute than stayers. We show that commuters to Riga differ from non-commuters with regard to most demographic and socio-economic variables. For instance, the probability of …

Análisis y tipología de brechas viarias dentro del palimpsesto urbano de València

2020

espanolEl palimpsesto urbano es el resultado de la superposicion y yuxtaposicion diacronica de una serie de modelos de desarrollo urbano que han determinado, en mayor o menor medida, la trama viaria actual. Resultado de esta dinamica, la trama urbana de muchas ciudades presenta una serie de brechas viarias singulares –por sus formas sinuosas, transversales u oblicuas– que dan caracter e identidad al paisaje urbano. En este articulo se analizan –mediante SIG y revision bibliografica– las brechas viarias del palimpsesto urbano, tomando como paradigma el plano de la ciudad de Valencia. Se lleva a cabo tambien una original categorizacion de las brechas viarias de acuerdo a una taxonomia derivad…

Le due Algeri di Pontecorvo: spazi sociali nella lotta all’indipendenza

2021

Nel breve saggio si riflette sul ruolo del cinema come mezzo capace di mostrare lo spazio come luogo di lotta politica. Attraverso l’ascolto e la narrazione degli “attori” locali, nell’elaborazione dei loro pensieri, si è costruito il film ma anche una metodologia della ricerca. Pontecorvo affronta il tema della violenza mostrandone tutti i lati oscuri, ne ricostruisce l’escalation senza dimenticare che il centro della storia è la resistenza anticoloniale. Su queste basi, il saggio, mostra come lo spazio di Algeri sia frammentato in due (colonizzatori e colonizzati) e come la lotta sfrutti le caratteristiche topologiche della città

La explicación del riesgo de sequía en la Geografía escolar. Una exploración desde los manuales escolares de Ciencias Sociales (Educación Primaria)

2021

espanolEn la region mediterranea uno de los principales riesgos naturales son las sequias. Este fenomeno se ha agravado en las ultimas decadas debido al incremento de la vulnerabilidad asociadas a actividades humanas y, segun los escenarios futuros de cambio climatico, se preve que aumente la peligrosidad (mayor intensidad y frecuencia de los periodos secos). El objetivo de este trabajo es llevar a cabo un analisis de como se explica el riesgo de sequia en los manuales escolares de Ciencias Sociales (3er ciclo de Educacion Primaria) en la Comunidad Valenciana (Espana). A partir de la consulta de estos recursos (las 5 editoriales mas utilizadas), los resultados obtenidos indican que esta tem…

The spatial dimension of the French private rental markets: Evidence from microgeographic data in 2015

2021

International audience; This article draws on data collected by local rental observatories in 12 French urban units in 2015 to analyze the spatial dimension of hedonic rental prices in the private rental market through (i) the spatial heterogeneity between urban units and (ii) the wide variety of contextual and locational characteristics (socio-economic, environmental (dis)amenity, and accessibility) and flexible specifications to capture their potential non-linear influence on rent. Based on a joint test of equality of coefficients across all urban units, we find that hedonic prices differ for 75% of the characteristics, thereby justifying a detailed analysis of heterogeneity.
