Artículo La innovación social como estrategia de desarrollo. Políticas urbanas y acción colectiva.(Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid, 2020-05-26) González Romero, Gema; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO). España; Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER); Universidad de Sevilla. HUM177: Geografía y Desarrollo Regional y UrbanoEl artículo profundiza sobre las formas que adopta la innovación social, focalizando el interés en las políticas urbanas y prácticas ciudadanas de economía alternativa. El objetivo es conocer y valorar en qué medida las administraciones y la sociedad civil, a través de la política urbana, implementan ideas transformadoras que incrementan el empoderamiento ciudadano y el bienestar social, contribuyendo, así, al desarrollo urbano. Para la consecución de este objetivo se han considerado las experiencias de la ciudad de Sevilla (España). De la investigación se desprende que las acciones públicas y civiles de innovación social son más que estrategias defensivas frente al impacto de la crisis, pues plantean modelos alternativos de desarrollo; aun así, su eficacia y capacidad para contribuir a impulsar procesos de desarrollo local sigue siendo limitadaArtículo Contested urban heritage: Discourses of meaning and ownership of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Spain(Intellect, 2017) Rosa, Brian; Jover Báez, Jaime; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM177: Geografía y Desarrollo Regional y UrbanoCórdoba, Spain is currently at the centre of a national, and increasingly international, dispute surrounding its most recognizable symbol: the Mosque-Cathedral. Built for Muslim worship beginning in the eighth century, and consecrated as a Catholic church in the thirteenth century, this temple is protected as a World Heritage Site (WHS) and is widely promoted as a symbol of religious coexistence. Contemporary conflicts, arising as Córdoba began promoting an economic development model based on cultural tourism, revolve around the appropriate restoration, ownership, and cultural meaning of the monument. The local chapter of Catholic Church, in an attempt to cement its claims of ownership, has increasingly minimized the building’s Muslim past and used the site for evangelization. Exploring contemporary conflicts surrounding this monument offers a paradigmatic case to examine the political economy and cultural politics of urban heritage and the importance of discourse in shaping political agendas around memory, identity and ownership.Artículo Landscape-based spatial energy planning: minimization of renewables footprint in the energy transition(Taylor & Francis, 2023-12-11) Prados Velasco, María José; Codemo, Anna; Ghislanzoni, Michela; Albatici, Rossano; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Unión Europea; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1076: Hábitat-Taller de Aplicaciones TerritorialesLandscape transformations derived by renewable energy sources exploitation may induce public resistance and loss of quality of the existing environment. Integrated approaches are needed to inform and guide transformation processes, relying on empirical evidence regarding spatio-technological feasibility, acceptance by the community, and integration in the landscape. To address this issue, the paper aims to propose a methodological procedure for the development of local spatial plans to implement photovoltaic systems at the local level. The procedure is spatially explicit, combining qualitative considerations of inhabitants and experts with quantitative data on energy potentials, and associating site selection with solar integration strategies. The outcome is a planning framework combining spatial areas with quality requirements for the implementation of solar power plants, thereby allowing for the envisioning of future scenarios. The application of the method is tested in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, considering both on-ground and on-roof distributed energy systems.Artículo La gestión de la Infraestructura Verde fluvial a escala metropolitana: el caso de Sevilla a la luz de la experiencia de Barcelona(Asociación Geógrafos Españoles, 2024-11-21) Fazeli Tello, Daniel; Moral Ituarte, Leandro del; Fernández Salinas, Víctor; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM396: Estructuras y Sistemas Territoriales; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM177: Geografía y Desarrollo Regional y UrbanoEl artículo comienza identificando las continuidades y cambios conceptuales entre la Infraestructura Verde y los tradicionales Sistemas de Espacios Libres, inicialmente desarrollados en el marco del urbanismo y posteriormente en el de la ordenación del territorio. Sobre esa base, se aborda el estudio de las propuestas formuladas a lo largo de más de dos décadas por la planificación territorial en el caso de la aglomeración urbana de Sevilla y se contrastan con el estado actual de estos sistemas. Con ese telón de fondo, y con el apoyo de 11 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a expertos en investigación y/o gestión de Infraestructura Verde, se analizan dos modelos específicos de gestión de Infraestructura Verde fluvial actualmente operativos en el área metropolitana de Barcelona (ríos Llobregat y Besòs). Finalmente se concluye confirmando la necesidad de abordar la gestión desde una escala supramunicipal, preferentemente metropolitana, subrayando la diversidad de las fórmulas concretas; así como la necesidad de transitar desde modelos convencionales de gobernanza participativa a procesos de coproducción social y cogestión de las nuevas realidades espaciales que las Infraestructuras Verdes significan. También se identifican las debilidades que presenta el modelo de gestión barcelonés en contraposición a las visiones idealizadas sobre el mismo, además de los aspectos positivos que pueden extraerse del proceso desarrollado en Sevilla.Artículo Flamboyance and wit. The promotion of film-induced tourism and Andalusian-inspired 'brand Spain' under the Ministry of Information and Tourism (1953-1959)(Taylor And Francis, 2022) Puche Ruiz, María del Carmen; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM875: Estudios territoriales y TurísticosThis paper aims to demonstrate that Hollywood film-induced tourism strategies also resonated in Spain in the 1950s, coinciding with the arrival of large contingents of American tourists in historical European cities. The use of these techniques, at a key moment of the diffident opening-up of Franco's regime, was adopted as a new and promising means to diffuse the traditionally Andalusian-inspired brand, combining the wit of Bienvenido Míster Marshall with the flamboyance of Duende y Misterio del Flamenco (both winners at Cannes 1953), and taking as a model pioneering films such as Roman holiday, 1953 and Summertime, 1955. To this end, the promotional strategies of 6 films featuring tourists and shot in Andalusia during the period 1953–1959 are analysed. The results, computerised using NVivo software, suggest, not only the use of wit and flamboyance, but also the display of inductive techniques such as the depiction of an open tourist context, the mobilisation of tourist celebrities (Antonio ‘the dancer’, Pedro de Córdoba, Pastora Imperio, Dolores Vargas or Carmen Sevilla), as well as the portrayal of Spanish culture for foreign tourists in search of authenticity, with characters performed by international players (Geneviève Page, Merle Oberon, Vittorio De Sica or Ludmilla Tchérina).Artículo Audiovisual Fiction and World Heritage Sites in Medium-Sized Spanish Cities: The Alhambra of Granada and the Royal Alcazar of Seville (1905–2023)(MDPI, 2023) Puche Ruiz, María del Carmen; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM875: Estudios territoriales y TurísticosThis article analyses the production of audiovisual fiction as an instrument for disseminating the image of the Alhambra (Granada) and the Royal Alcazar (Seville) for tourism purposes. The methodology used was twofold: qualitative, carrying out an exhaustive bibliographic review, but also quantitative, using primary sources, through the identification of the films shot, visualization and collection of metadata of the scenes filmed. The information, previously structured, also allows a double analysis: temporal, considering five stages, and spatial, identifying and mapping more than twenty significant places within both sites. In its temporal dimension, the main conclusion refers to the different significance of cinema in the dissemination of the image of both sites: very prominent during Franco’s regime, with a profusion of foreign productions (Alhambra), while from the democratic period onwards it is the Royal Alcazar which offers a greater number of filming. In its spatial dimension, it has been verified that the 19th century formats in charge of disseminating images established a canon of places according to a certain degree of exoticism, which has been perpetuated by cinematography without significant changes.Artículo Methodologies, Knowledge Areas and Tourist Destinations Addressed in Scientific Research on Tourism Induced by Audiovisual Fiction (1988-2021)(2024) Puche Ruiz, María del Carmen; Crespo Almendros, Esmeralda; Sánchez Castillo, Sebastián; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM875: Estudios Territoriales y TurísticosThis article analyses the methodological evolution experienced in academic research on the phenomenon of tourism induced first by the cinema and later by the audiovisual media in general during the period 1988-2021. Emphasis is placed on the methodological techniques employed and the tourist destinations considered from the perspective of marketing, communication and tourism studies. By means of a systematised analysis, 354 articles from the Scopus, WOS and Journal Citation Report databases were reviewed. The results suggest the existence of two main lines of analysis: conceptual theory (cultural geography and communication) and empirical analysis (analysis of specific products by marketing experts). Descriptive and quantitative analyses were found to be in the majority as opposed to causal and qualitative analyses. The predominance of researchers from the Anglo-Saxon and Asian spheres, who study the phenomenon of film-induced tourism within their borders, has been discovered.Artículo ¿Por qué se vacía la Andalucía rural según sus pobladores? Análisis de los factores de abandono y permanencia desde una perspectiva cualitativa(Universidad de Alicante, 2025-01-23) Valle Ramos, Carolina del; Nieto Calmaestra, José Antonio; Larrubia Vargas, Remedios; Natera Rivas, Juan José; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM774: Geodemografía y sociedad. Análisis urbanos y territorialesAunque Andalucía no destaca por ser una región muy afectada por la despoblación, lo cierto es que buen número de sus núcleos rurales presentan dinámicas demográficas regresivas. En este contexto, el trabajo que se presenta indaga en las motivaciones y percepciones que tienen los habitantes que residen en dichos ámbitos sobre el proceso de despoblación de sus pueblos, así como en los factores de atracción y abandono y en sus consecuencias. La presente investigación se ha realizado bajo una metodología cualitativa a partir del análisis de entrevistas semiestructuradas dirigidas a distintos perfiles de residentes en municipios afectados por la despoblación. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que el fenómeno de la despoblación es percibido por la población afectada como un hecho multicausal. Valoran positivamente sus territorios, pero muestran preocupación por el futuro y centran los motivos de dicha situación en factores económicos y laborales, que son contrarrestados por los valores de arraigo, el sentimiento de pertenencia al lugar y la familiaridad.Artículo La gestión adaptativa del patrimonio hidráulico como estrategia para las ciudades sensibles al agua: el caso de la Quinta de Torre Arias (Madrid, España)(Universidad de Jaén, 2025-04-10) Lara García, Ángela; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM396: Estructuras y sistemas territorialesSe presentan los trabajos para la elaboración de las “Directrices de Actuación para la Gestión del Agua” del Plan Director de la Quinta de Torre Arias, una finca productiva y de recreo recuperada para uso público por el Ayuntamiento de Madrid (España). El objetivo es proteger el patrimonio natural y cultural de la Quinta, del que el agua constituye un elemento clave, a través de una metodología de gestión adaptativa de los recursos hídricos y el patrimonio hidráulico. Este trabajo constituye un ejemplo novedoso de mejora de la resiliencia urbana frente a los riesgos hidroclimáticos a través de la adaptación de las infraestructuras del patrimonio hidráulico a los nuevos retos del ciclo urbano del agua. La propuesta, combinando la lógica de los sistemas tradicionales con alternativas innovadoras, contiene un gran potencial para la consecución de ciudades sensibles al agua, que se explora en este trabajo.Artículo Heller, Léo. 2023: Los derechos humanos al agua y el saneamiento, Jaén (España), Universidad de Jaén, UJA Editorial, 576 págs.

Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. RNM177: Ordenación del litoral y tecnologías de información territorialThe fifty-year period since UNESCO announced its ‘Decades’ devoted to the oceans has witnessed some deep changes in ocean geopolitics: a new international community made up of a greater number of nation-states that have transformed their territorial bases through the inclusion of large maritime jurisdictions. This, and the decline in the international regulatory ideal, have led to marine governance being addressed very differently from the way it was in the 1970s and presenting a challenge for the future governance of the oceans. This article explores the political change that has occurred during this time and focuses on the State, its maritime territory and the effects of jurisdictional expansion. Methodologically, the geopolitical focus is framed in geographical premises supported with data prepared by the author and premises formulated in the fields of law and political science. The conclusions include some of the effects of unilateral action in marine governance and show that differences and inequalities are the most visible aspects of this new marine territoriality.Artículo Atlantismo no Atlântico Sul: Comunidade de interesses e governança oceânica(Escola de Guerra Naval, 2023-07-17) Suárez de Vivero, Juan Luis; Villela Morroni, Etiene; Rodríguez Mateos, Juan Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. RNM177: Ordenación del litoral y tecnologías de información territorialO objetivo deste artigo é analisar em que medida a governança da bacia Sul Atlântica leva à construção de uma comunidade transatlântica no Hemisfério Sul com foco na economia e política marítima, bem como conceitos jurisdicionais da governança no Atlântico Sul. Também visa compreender como a configuração de estruturas institucionais interferem nesse sistema e se configuram como frágeis laços político-culturais e econômicos transatlânticos. Embora no Atlântico Sul – diferentemente da Bacia do Norte – não tenha sido construída uma poderosa rede de interesses comuns, a expansão jurisdicional exige que Estados Costeiros adotem políticas marítimas proporcionais à magnitude da responsabilidade territorial adquirida, a qual a sub-bacia americana (especificamente Brasil e Argentina) propugna por uma posição de dominância ao sul do paralelo zero.Artículo The flow of digital transition the challenges of technological solutions for hotels(Springer Nature, 2025-01-09) García López, Ana María; Galindo Pérez de Azpillaga, Luis; Foronda Robles, Concepción; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM875: Estudios territoriales y turísticosThe incorporation of digital technologies in hotels worldwide is moving forward at the same pace as the recovery of the tourism sector itself following the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers have looked at this topic from the perspective of suppliers and consumers, but little research has been carried out on hotels’ internal digitalisation processes and understanding their technological priorities to become more competitive. Atomization of hotel business structure and its characteristics and composition have traditionally hindered data collection. This research addresses this gap through close collaboration with the regional associative structure. The initial hypothesis is that digitization in Andalusian hotels flows at different speeds. The aim of the present study is to establish both the current state and the speed of digital transformation in hotels. To this end, there is an analysis of the degree of implementation of digital technologies in the hotel sector based on a case study of Andalusia (Spain). A mixed method approach is used, combining two focus groups that together contain 14 stakeholders, with 183 technological implementation surveys sent to hotels. This approach allows differentiation between the values of hotels specifically and those of accommodation as a whole, using two blocks of questions: technological solutions and tools; and infrastructures, integrations and data analysis. The results allow the validation of the initial hypothesis and show digital transition at two different speeds. The solutions and tools implemented, the technological priorities of future implementation and the use of digital enablers each display very disparate realities. Accelerating the rhythm of digitalisation is a great challenge for all hotels, whatever their category. The study contributes an original theoretical-practical model, whose method can be applied to other tourist destinations, regardless of their nationality. It enables comparisons and measurements, addressing both the typology of technological tools and solutions, and digitalisation issues.Artículo Energy transition and community participation in Portugal, Greece and Israel: regional differences from a multi-level perspective(Elsevier, 2022-05) Prados Velasco, María José; Iglesias Pascual, Ricardo; Barral, Ángeles; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía HumanaThis paper addresses regional differences in community participation in renewable energy installations in Portugal, Greece and Israel. Authors follow the Multi-level Perspective and Multi-actor Perspective as frame works for specifying power relations between different actors with different levels of aggregation. The paper applies these models for a comparative analysis of two large-scale renewable wind projects and a micro-grid solar photovoltaic project at different stages of execution in local communities on Paros Island, in the Golan Heights and in the Alentejo region. The study cases form part of the Project Planning and Engagement Arenas for Renewable Energy LandscapeS (PEARLS) research study, which examines the relationships between renewable energy landscapes and the population in four countries in the south of Europe and Israel. PEARLS investigates whether, and how, the transition to a low carbon economy is taking place in a great variety of renewable energy landscapes as focus areas regarding the population's energy behaviour and population engagement. This analysis of regional differences in three study areas executing renewable energy projects will contribute to the literature. Analysing the research questions on community participation in the energy transition in relation to the targeted actors and their levels of aggregation enables two main conclusions to be drawn; the importance of considering regional differences when implementing renewable energy landscapes, especially when these are generated by large renewable projects with a non-place focus, and secondly, related to the relevance of regional uniqueness: the feeling of place attachment is highlighted as a key factor in social acceptance by local communities.Artículo Gentrificación ¿colonialismo cultural o urbanismo crítico? Una aportación al debate(Universitat de Barcelona, 2023-07-15) Díaz Parra, Ibán; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía HumanaEn las últimas décadas, el vocablo gentrificación ha captado mucha atención de los estudios urbanos en castellano, sin llegar a ser plenamente aceptado por la comunidad científica. Reconocidos académicos críticos, tanto del Mediterráneo europeo como de América Latina, han cargado contra el término, acusándolo de ser una falsa generalización de un fenómeno particular del urbanismo anglosajón. Estas posiciones podrían ser alimentadas tanto por el carácter problemático del término, una adaptación de un neologismo anglófono, como por el uso no siempre preciso que se hace del mismo entre aquellos que lo han adoptado. El presente artículo polemiza con los estudios sobre gentrificación en castellano y con las posiciones críticas que han venido a rechazarlo. Frente a unos y otros, se propone que la gentrificación es un fenómeno de creciente importancia en el urbanismo latinoamericano y del sur de Europa, cuyo análisis necesita de un uso más preciso del concepto.Artículo Energías renovables y cambios de usos del suelo en el sur de la Península Ibérica: una lectura territorial de la política energética(Asociación Española de Geografía, 2023-06-26) Barral, María Ángeles; Ruíz Díez, Alba; Prados Velasco, María José; García Marín, Ramón; Delicado, Ana; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía HumanaLa lucha contra el cambio climático necesita de una transformación del modelo energético que está siendo fuertemente apoyado desde las políticas de la Unión Europea y de los estados miembros. La materialización espacial de la política energética de fomento de las energías renovables es un elemento crucial que ha de concretarse sobre los usos de suelo pre-existentes, lo que a su vez provoca cambios sobre los ecosistemas y los paisajes. Este artículo investiga la implantación territorial de las plantas eólicas y solares en la Península Ibérica para evaluar qué tipos de usos del suelo están siendo más afectados. A partir de la evolución de la política energética en España y Portugal se analizan de forma comparada los desarrollos de plantas eólicas y solares y los usos del suelo utilizando la cartografía temática publicada tanto en España como en Portugal entre 2005 y 2020. Los resultados de la investigación constatan la exclusividad de estos desarrollos en ámbitos rurales, destacando la sustitución de cultivos herbáceos junto con cubiertas de matorral y pastizal, provocando una alteración significativa de las economías y los paisajes rurales.Artículo Incorporating public perception of Renewable Energy Landscapes in local spatial planning tools: A case study in Mediterranean countries(Elsevier, 2024-09-01) Codemo, Anna; Ghislanzoni, Michela; Prados Velasco, María José; Albatici, Rossano; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía HumanaThe European energy transition requirements have been posing many questions on the deployment of renewable energy sources. The development of renewable energy infrastructures entails landscape transformations affecting the perceived landscape quality and local acceptance. Sustainable energy spatial planning considers environmental, cultural, ecological needs but often neglect community perception of landscape transformations including both the physical landscape structures and the meanings associated to them. To address this issue, the paper aims to explore public perception and incorporate it in the planning tools. The research draws on a survey of residents of Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, conducted with the visual Q methodology, and on structured interviews with local experts. A selection of 36 different photovoltaic applications in urban and rural areas was evaluated by 21 citizens. The analysis identified four distinct viewpoints on photovoltaic applications in urban and rural landscapes. Local experts provided feedback on the current local spatial planning tools and on their consideration of landscape transformations. Considering both citizens and experts, we provided landscape integration strategies linked to siting and landscape design of solar power plants to be included in urban planning tools.Artículo Social movements in crisis? From the 15-M movement to the electoral shift in Spain(Emerald, 2016) Díaz Parra, Ibán; Jover Báez, Jaime; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM177: Geografía y Desarrollo Regional y UrbanoPurpose Social left-wing political contestation and activism in Spain have undergone great changes over the past four years. First, there has been a shift from the 15-M movement that took over public plazas with its ambiguous claims basically related to radical democracy and rejection of institutional politics, to a new focus on social problems generated by the crisis, highlighting issues such as housing and cutbacks in social rights. Second, there has been a shift towards institutional politics in 2014. How should this recent whirlwind evolution in political contestation to status quo be understood? What is the relation between the changing material conditions of the population and the extremely shifting shape of left-wing militancy in Spain? The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The arguments put forward here are based on the authors’ involvement in social movements in the city of Seville between 2011 and the current time. They have been complemented with in-depth interviews of social activists who have taken part in the movements: 15-M assemblies, the housing movement, general strikes and, in more recent times, electoral initiatives (Podemos and Ganemos). The interviews were done between 2012 and 2014. The fieldwork has been complemented with an exploration of documentary sources: the manifests and writings of the various organisations that are being addressed. Findings In the transition from 15-M assemblies to the recent shift in electoral initiatives, social protest have turned from direct democracy demands and the rejection of institutionalised politics to a progressively pragmatic and short-term position where institutions are targeted. This paper argues that the generalised impoverishment of the population, increased numbers of evictions and consistently high unemployment rates have broadened the social framework for the action of social movements. The political and ideological crisis, rooted in the majority of the population’s crumbling expectations of social progress has enabled the array of possibilities to be opened up to emancipatory politics. Originality/value It is argued that massive deprivation provoked by the economic crisis has been a fundamental factor in the movements’ new orientation, what as a consequence, and until certain extent, throws the New Social Movements discourses into crisis itself, at least with regard to its post-materialistic nature and its opposition to institutions of the State.Artículo Overtourism, place alienation and the right to the city: insights from the historic centre of Seville, Spain(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Díaz Parra, Ibán; Jover Báez, Jaime; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Geografía Humana; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM177: Geografía y Desarrollo Regional y UrbanoIncreasing international travel flows across the planet have drawn attention to socio-spatial justice concerning the impact of tourism and transnational gentrification in cities. We suggest that the growth of tourists and lifestyle migrants can potentially shrink or even deprive a social right to the city. The early work of philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre, particularly The Right to the City (1968), offer valuable elements to understand the potential alienation of local residents from the city centre in the context of a tourism-led urban economy. Several questions arise in this context that are explored here: What injustices arise through the socio-spatial processes and transformation of social spaces due to rapid tourism growth and overtourism? What contribution does Lefebvre’s theoretical work make to current studies on overtourism overall? We examine these questions through a case study in Seville, Andalusia (Spain). It illustrates how its residents lose the right to everyday life in the historic centre and become alienated from their local spaces. Mechanisms of commodification and gentrification contribute to socio-spatial injustices and also make the city “inauthentic” for visitors and residents. In this sense, the right to live and enjoy the city are lost to both groups.
