"Urban-touristic impacts on the aeolian sedimentary systems of the Canary Islands: conflict between development and conservation." Island Studies Journal 11, no. 1 (2016): 91–112. http://dx.doi.org/10.24043/isj.336.
Full textAbstract:
Aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canary Islands differ from other European and African systems due to climate, vegetation and isolation. In turn, they experience high human pressure from touristic development. This paper analyzes the impact of urban-touristic development in four aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canaries: Maspalomas, Corralejo, Lambra and Jable Sur. Spatial and surface change variables related to vegetation and geomorphology are obtained by photo-interpretation of historical aerial photography and current orthophotos. Results indicate that systems affected by urban-touristic development have witnessed significant environmental change. In contrast, the systems not impacted by building and construction of infrastructure show minor changes.

Abstract For many years now the topic of city branding has gained a significant interest in both the academics and policy maker’s specified fields. As many cities tend to compete globally in attracting tourism, investment or talents, the concepts of brand strategy has been increasingly adopted from the commercial filed and has been applied to the urban development, regeneration and quality of life of cities. Nevertheless, city branding helps in increasing the status of the place as touristic destination, residential, or business location. As many places are mainly branded as touristic destinations, urban tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of worldwide tourism market. Thus this article intends to explore the essence of city branding related to tourism and John Urry, “Tourist Gaze”; city image, and the relationship between city branding and its residents.

Full textAbstract:
Technological developments, which are closely related to the tourism sector, have led to the concepts of “smart tourism”. The smart city approach is the basis of smart concepts for tourism. For this reason, in order to realize “smart tourism” applications in a tourism destination, it is necessary to develop “smart city” infrastructure for that city first. Therefore, it would be a correct approach to evaluate “smart city” and “smart tourism” applications as integrated with each other, enhancing and enriching the quality of life of the local people in that city, and enriching the experiences of those who temporarily visit that city, supported by advanced internet technologies. When we look at the current “smart tourism” objects, it is seen that internet-supported applications have been developed in important tourism destinations, which especially regulate the tourist's use of time, make use of transportation services, obtain information about tourist attractions, and facilitate their use. These are the practices that contribute significantly to the quality of the touristic experience of the tourist at the destination. Thus, it is very important to develop applications related to “smart tourism”, primarily in destinations that have worldwide awareness and significant touristic attractions. Keywords: “Smart city”, “smart tourism”, information technologies, modernization, urban planning.

- Socials Networks and Urban Tourism. Touristics Patterns in a small Town, Tourism in a "non touristic" small town take a peculiar place. In one sense the tourism, or even better his success, influence many dimensions of the locals socials networks; in a second sense the tourism in smalls towns are partially different comparing other patterns of urban tourism. In the specific the analysis is focused on two issues. The first issue is the role of the "folk" in a small town as part of the urban touristic product; the second issue is the multidimensional role of the local community into the touristics patterns. Starting from this analysis, the second part of the article show the results of a survey carried out in a small town (Aosta, Northern Italy). The aim of this survey is to evaluate the place of tourism in that urban context. Key words: urban tourism, social network, touristics patterns.

It considers the prerequisites for developing a methodology in order to create touristic recreational complexes based on resource capacities of local settlement systems (territorial communities) in Ukraine. Attention is given to the situation in the industry and its prospective capabilities to play a principal role in economic development of a number of territorial communities. It outlines a number of principles that need to be used when considering the process in the urban planning activities. It also provides a specific example of a strategic program of local system development with the touristic and recreational component as its basis. The research materials analyze the current state of affairs of urban planning activities in Ukraine, in particular, peculiarities of regional planning, using three largest cities and their suburbs as case studies. A number of negative trends have been discovered in the relations between the city and suburban area, that need to be resolved during the subsequent stages of designing to take into account the changes in the management system – decentralization and development of territorial communities that will be interacting with the city on systemic positions.

<p class="Abstract"><em>Gijón, also known as Xixón, is an important city that rivals Oviedo, the historical capital of the Autonomous Region and Principality of Asturias (Spain), in historical demographic and economic terms. It has traditionally been a port and, more recently, an industrial city, which experienced very rapid population growth and with little planning. After the industrial crisis of the 80s, the city wanted to become a tourist location more than an industrial harbor. Both its privileged location and the historical urban heritage that still remain are corner stones to make this change possible. However, the late and strict legislation (improvised to protect the last remains of a previously uncontrolled development) impeded a necessary urban re-design in order to shelter the new touristic supplies. This paper proposes some urban solutions to selectively modify the catalogue according with the cultural and touristic potentials of the city. These solutions were agreed by the working group set up by Gijón City Council and ERDU (Estudio de Renovación y Desarrollos Urbanos -Urban Renovation and Development Studio).</em></p><em><em><br /></em></em>

Full textAbstract:
Over the past two decades, significant efforts have been made to diversify the tourism industry and enhance its educational experience. One such endeavor is urban trekking and geotourism, which have emerged as important means of promoting geological knowledge. The recent advancements in augmented reality technologies as well as the increasing availability of ‘born digital’ data such as those gathered from social media create a basis for the development of immersive and customized touristic experiences. Urban scientific heritage, augmented reality, and data mining are the key elements of the HUSH project. Its first focus is the identification of the naturalistic components in a given urban area (flora, fauna, and geological features) through literature surveys and scientific research. These factors become points of interest (PoIs) along touristic paths, where they are connected to the historical and artistic components of the area. Augmented reality serves as the medium through which the user can access this content. The contents are delivered as videos, text, images, or interactive 3D models. The mobile application from this project is a useful tool for promoting geoheritage and naturalistic values in urban areas and for improving the awareness and the sustainability of our cities.

Full textAbstract:
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) use at local scale reduces the environmental impact, maximizing the effect as production and consumption are carried out in the same place. Therefore, this limits the losses associated with distribution networks, and minimizes the impact on the landscape in areas of special interest, including touristic beaches and other natural sites, where there are high-value natural environments, and where the citizens’ comfort must be considered. Implementation of an intra-urban transport ecosystem, based on fleets of light electric vehicles charged from RES, is proposed for these natural touristic areas. In this context, Urban Touristic Transport at Sustainable Environments (TTUES) project aims to promote the implementation of a transport ecosystem, using specifically designed and tested light and small-sized electric vehicles (EVs), and suitable charging stations based solely on RES. This paper presents a development of an Energy Storage System (ESS) based on Hybrid Supercapacitors (HSC) for their application in light EVs recharging points. It details the main equipment and capabilities of the testing facilities, and the tests performed by INTA, the Spanish National Institute for Aerospace Technology, in the framework of the project TTUES, as well as the experimental results validating the HSC system for its application.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement urbain est un important vecteur de la transformation de l'environnement à l’échelle mondiale, qui a provoqué énormes pressions sur les écosystèmes, en raison de l'évolution rapide des densités de population et des déplacements, et, en particulier, la migration des populations rurales vers les zones urbaines. Dans ce contexte, où les objectifs de conservation et de développement ont historiquement été antagonistes, les réserves naturelles sont apparues comme la principale stratégie mondiale de conservation de la biodiversité. Afin de vérifier les limites et les possibilités de concilier la protection de l'environnement et le développement urbain, cette étude a utilisé la perspective des études d'évaluation socio-environnementale, en se concentrant sur la question des relations entre la société et l'environnement dans les processus de urbanisation autour des réserves de biosphère. Dans ce sens, il identifie différents points d'intersection entre le thème de l’aménagement urbain et la notion de développement durable. Au cours de l'analyse comparative de trois cas de réserves de biosphère - Mata Atlântica (Brésil), Yancheng (Chine) et Camargue (France) - nous examinons l'expérience d'occupation des zones de transition de ces réserves de biosphère situées sur les zones côtières. Les études de cas apportent des informations supplémentaires qui permettent de renforcer l'hypothèse selon laquelle le processus de développement urbain dans les zones de transition des réserves a déclenché le renforcement des stratégies sociales et écologiques prédatrices de l'occupation urbaine et périurbaine. La fragmentation socioéconomique et socioculturelle de la nature et des communautés locales a contribué à l'intensification des indices de pollution de l'environnement et à la diminution de la productivité biologique dans les régions côtières. Enfin, les travaux ont reconnu l'importance du renforcement d'un système de planification intégrée et participative capable de corriger et de prévenir l'aggravation des réels foyers de détérioration de l'environnement naturel et bâti, induite par l’occupation urbaine et périurbaine. On considère qu’il est indispensable d’augmenter de l'effort de recherche interdisciplinaire pour la mise en place de politiques alternatives telle que l’écotourismeUrban development is an important driver of environmental change on a global scale, which has exerted enormous pressure on ecosystems thanks to rapidly changing population densities and displacement, particularly migration from rural to urban areas. In this context, in which conservation and development objectives have historically been antagonistic, nature reserves have emerged as the main global strategy for biodiversity conservation. In order to verify the limits and possibilities of reconciling environmental protection and urban development, this study used the perspective of socio-environmental assessment studies, focusing on the issue of relations between society and the environment in urbanization processes around biosphere reserves. In this sense, it identifies different points of intersection between the theme of urban planning experiences and the notion of sustainable development. In the comparative analysis of three biosphere reserve cases - Mata Atlântica (Brazil), Yancheng (China) and Camargue (France) - we examine the experience of occupying of the transition zones of these biosphere reserves, located in coastal areas. The case studies offer additional information to reinforce the hypothesis that the urban development process in transition zones of the reserves has involved the reinforcement of predatory social and ecological strategies of urban and peri-urban occupation. The socio-economic and socio-cultural fragmentation of nature and local communities has contributed to the intensification of environmental pollution indices and the reduction of biological productivity in coastal regions. Finally, the work recognized the importance of strengthening an integrated and participatory planning system capable of correcting and preventing the deterioration of the natural and built environment caused by urban and peri-urban ocupation. it is considered essential to open up interdisciplinary research efforts to explore alternative policies for the sector, such as ecotourism
O desenvolvimento urbano é um importante motor da mudança ambiental em escala global, que tem exercido uma enorme pressão sobre os ecossistemas, graças à rápida mudança das densidades populacionais e deslocamentos, particularmente a migração das áreas rurais para as áreas urbanas. Neste contexto, em que os objetivos de conservação e de desenvolvimento tem sido historicamente antagônicos, as reservas naturais apresentam-se como a principal estratégia global de conservação da biodiversidade. A fim de verificar os limites e possibilidades de conciliar a proteção ambiental e o desenvolvimento urbano, neste estudo utilizou-se a perspectiva dos estudos de avaliação socioambiental, centrando-se na questão das relações entre a sociedade e o ambiente nos processos de urbanização em torno das reservas da biosfera. Nesse sentido, identifica diferentes pontos de intersecção entre o tema da planejamento urbano e a noção de desenvolvimento sustentável. Na análise comparativa dos três casos de Reservas da Biosfera - Mata Atlântica (Brasil), Yancheng (China) e Camargue (França) - examina a experiência de ocupação das áreas de transição dessas reservas biosfera, situadas em regiões costeiras. Os estudos de caso fornecem informações adicionais que reforçam a hipótese de que o processo de desenvolvimento urbano em zonas de transição das reservas envolvem o fortalecimento de estratégias sociais e ecológicas predatórias de ocupação urbana e periurbana. A fragmentação sócio-econômica e sociocultural da natureza e das comunidades locais tem contribuído à intensificação dos índices de poluição ambiental e a diminuição da produtividade em regiões costeiras. Finalmente, o trabalho reconheceu a importância de fortalecer um sistema de planejamento integrado e participativo que possa corrigir e prevenir o agravamento dos verdadeiros focos de deterioração do ambiente natural e construído induzido pela ocupação urbana e peri-urbana. Considera-se imprescindível a abertura do esforço de pesquisa interdisciplinar, para a exploração de políticas alternativas para o setor, como o ecoturismo.

Tese de doutoramento em Turismo, Lazer e Cultura, no ramo de Turismo e Desenvolvimento, apresentada ao Departamento de Geografia e Turismo da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de CoimbraNo contexto atual de dificuldade socioeconómica em Angola, importa que o turismo seja encarado como uma atividade estratégica para o desenvolvimento das comunidades. Para que sejam criados projetos que satisfaçam os interesses das populações é fundamental considerar a sua participação na conceção, implementação e monitorização dos recursos culturais locais. Neste sentido, a presente tese tem como propósito analisar o contributo do património cultural para o desenvolvimento do turismo numa cidade histórica. A dimensão simbólica e identitária do património cultural como impulso ao desenvolvimento turístico local visando a melhoria da imagem da cidade, a conservação dos recursos endógenos e a geração de mais-valias para a localidade, é um referencial importante para o Dondo. Uma cidade, cujo núcleo urbano encontra-se em estado avançado de degradação mas que mantém ainda uma estrutura distintiva de uma determinada época que urge salvaguardar e valorizar. Com essa perspetiva foram definidos dois grandes objetivos para sustentar esta investigação, com adoção de uma abordagem metodológica eclética, própria de um estudo de caso, através da conciliação dos procedimentos qualitativos e quantitativos. Na primeira parte da tese desenvolveu-se uma contextualização por meio de um enquadramento teórico-conceptual para compreender melhor as dimensões do estudo: património cultural, cidade histórica e turismo, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental que remete à abordagem em torno da génese, caraterísticas e processo evolutivo. A segunda parte é reservada ao estudo do caso, através da análise e tratamento dos dados e informação recolhidos com o trabalho empírico realizado, onde procedeu-se a aplicação de inquéritos por questionários aos residentes e aos visitantes, assim como entrevistas aos responsáveis do setor público, nas diferentes escalas. A investigação proporcionou a definição de uma estratégia de desenvolvimento turístico e permitiu concluir, por um lado, que o património cultural é o elemento principal a considerar na elaboração e prossecução dos planos de reabilitação urbana e de desenvolvimento turístico em cidades históricas e, por outro, que para a salvaguarda da cidade histórica do Dondo e melhoria das condições de vida dos seus residentes é fundamental a adoção de modalidades turísticas de base cultural que sejam alternativas à massificação. Para o cumprimento desses objetivos, importa que haja outra abordagem pública no sentido da promoção da intersetorialidade e de uma melhor articulação dos subsetores do turismo para o devido alinhamento entre a estratégia e a operação. A expectativa com a elaboração da presente tese é de contribuir para ajudar a solucionar constrangimentos atuais e posteriores por via da conjugação de valências mútuas dos setores do turismo e da cultura, perspetivando resultados satisfatórios multiformes. Espera-se acima de tudo que haja um novo entendimento no país sobre a cultura e o património cultural e a sua relação com a atividade turística.
In the current context of socio-economic difficulty in Angola, tourism should be seen as a strategic activity for the development of communities. In order to create projects that meet the interests of populations, it is crucial to consider local cultural resources and their participation in design, implementation and monitoring. In this sense, this thesis aims to analyse the contribution of cultural heritage to the development of tourism in a historical city. The symbolic and identity dimension of cultural heritage as an impetus for local tourist development aimed at improving the image of the city, conserving endogenous resources and generating surplus value for the locality is an important reference for Dondo. A city, whose urban nucleus is in an advanced state of degradation but still maintains a distinctive structure of a certain epoch that must be safeguarded and valued. With this perspective, two main objectives were defined to support this research, with the adoption of an eclectic methodological approach, appropriate to a case study, through the conciliation of qualitative and quantitative procedures. In the first part of the thesis a contextualization was developed through a theoretical-conceptual framework to better understand the dimensions of the study: cultural heritage, historical city and tourism, through bibliographical and documentary research that refers to the approach around genesis, characteristics and evolutionary process. The second part is reserved for the study of the case, through the analysis and treatment of data and information collected with the empirical work carried out, where questionnaires were applied to residents and visitors, as well as interviews with public sector officials, in the different scales. The research provided the definition of a tourism development strategy and allowed to conclude, on the one hand, that cultural heritage is the main element to be considered in the elaboration and pursuit of urban rehabilitation and tourism development plans in historic cities and, on the other, that for the safeguarding of the historic city of Dondo and improvement of the living conditions of its residents, it is fundamental to adopt cultural forms of tourism that are alternatives to massification. In order to achieve these objectives, it is important another public approach towards promoting intersectoriality and a better articulation of tourism sub-sectors for the proper alignment between strategy and operation. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to help solve current and future constraints through the combination of mutual valences of the tourism and culture sectors, with satisfactory multiform results. Above all, it is hoped that there will be a new understanding in the country about culture and cultural heritage and its relation to tourism.

Shanghai, long known as mainland China’s most cosmopolitan metropolis, has recently re-emerged as a global capital. Above sea: Contemporary art, urban culture, and the fashioning of global Shanghai offers the first in-depth examination of turn of the twenty-first century Shanghai-based art and design – from state-sponsored exhibitions to fashionable cultural complexes to cutting edge films and installations. This book offers a counter-touristic view of one of the world’s fastest developing megacities that penetrates the contradictions and buried layers of specific locales and artifacts of visual culture. Informed by years of in-situ research including interviews with artists and designers, the book looks beyond contemporary art’s global hype to reveal persistent socio-political tensions accompanying Shanghai’s explosive transitions from semi-colonial capitalism to Maoist socialism to Communist Party-sponsored capitalism. Analyses of exemplary design projects such as Xintiandi and Shanghai Tang, and artworks by Liu Jianhua, Yang Fudong, Gu Wenda and more reveal how Shanghai’s global aesthetics construct glamorizing artifices that mask historically-rooted cross-cultural conflicts between vying notions of foreign-influenced modernity versus anti-colonialist nationalism, and the city’s repressed socialist past versus consumerist present. The book focuses on Shanghai-based art and design from the 1990s-2000s, the decades of the city’s most rapid post-socialist development, while also attending to pivotal Republican and Mao Era examples. Challenging the “East-meets-West” clichés that characterize discussions of urban Shanghai and contemporary Chinese art, this book illuminates critical issues facing today’s artists, architects, and designers, and provides an essential field guide for students of art, design, art history, urban studies, and Chinese culture.

AbstractTransport and tourism are rising economic sectors based on their mutual growth on reliable technological tools, affordable energy sources in relatively peaceful decades. This growing trend, faced along years of sudden slowdown caused mainly by the financial and health crisis; one of the most severe and recent episodes was the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic outbreak is representing a global turning point for both international markets of tourism and transport which can be addressed with innovative solutions looking to retake the growing trends. In such a changing framework CIVITAS DESTINATIONS European project addressed the main challenges of tourism and resident mobility at local (rural, urban area, large city) and regional levels, focusing on six European islands (Malta, Cyprus, Elba, Crete, Gran Canaria, Madeira) aiming to implement and evaluate 83 different sustainable mobility measures. The project proves to have a cumulative relevant impact on environmental indicators such as CO2 emission avoided, fossil fuel saved and energy saved. Additionally, the project findings focus on the quality of life and economic development to grant long-run environmental and financial sustainability of tourism and transport at the local and regional levels. The main aspects observed were related to public participation and governance models in touristic mobility integrated with the residents’ needs, touristic mobility the island, role of technologies to focus on final user needs, growing trends of elder and disabled people, new integrated and innovative business in tourism and mobility markets, health at the core of future trends.

Brazil is in fact a powerhouse in the manufacture of beers, producing around 15 billion liters per year, a number only surpassed by China and the United States. In addition to the giants in the sector, more than six hundred breweries are registered in Brazil. In 2017 alone, 91 new brewing establishment registrations were granted. With regard to the Rio de Janeiro economy, the phenomenon is similar, with a 900% growth in the number of brewers in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Thus, in recent years, we have seen significant changes in beer production and consumption in the Brazilian and Rio de Janeiro realities. The creation of AmBev has created a giant international company, as well as the significant growth of small artisinal breweries dedicated to the manufacture of a more sophisticated beer for a specific public. In this scenario, the Rota Turística e Cervejeira do Rio de Janeiro (Touristic and Beer Route of Rio de Janeiro) is formed, located in the Serrana Fluminense region and which brings together large and small producers of the drink, more than 60 styles of beer and offers packages that include attractions such as "beer experiences" in the large and microbreweries, visits to tourist attractions in the cities, harmonized tastings in local restaurants. The central objective of this chapter is to understand the productive, urban and touristic changes of this emerging economic-spatial structure from the analysis of the Touristic and Beer Route of Rio de Janeiro, from the Economic Geography and with the scope to analyze the central contents of this new phenomenon economic-tourism.

Tourism's interactions with local communities and natural environments originate economic, social, and environmental impacts both positive and negative. The local community's assessment of these impacts is key to guarantee their support for tourism development since the planning process is subject to their opinion. Tourism seasonality can intensify these effects due to the influx of tourists during peak periods and generate periods of rest and recovery during the off-peak season. In this research, the locals' opinions on the need for a period of seasonal rest is studied, even if this period interrupts the economic activity linked to tourism. Using a group of Spanish touristic destinations shows that the residents in coastal destinations prefer the annual continuity of the activity and that they are much more critical of the environmental effects than social ones. On the contrary, the inhabitants of urban and rural destinations would rather enjoy resting periods.

Full textAbstract:
For many decades, agritourism has emerged as a particular form of tourism addressing the desire of urban people to spend holidays in the countryside with experiencing typical agricultural surroundings and activities. On-farm touristic activities offer farmers the possibility of diversifying and generating additional income to supplement their low agricultural income. This supports maintaining the viability of active farms and rural communities, particularly in areas of natural constraints like mountain regions. Agritourism activities enhance and promote agricultural resources, traditions, and culture. Following this line of thought, agritourism results in being a successful example of sustainable tourism that has gained importance over the years. The chapter provides a comprehensive scientific overview on the development, situation, challenges, and limits of agritourism in mountain regions, exemplified by the situation in the European Alps as a relevant type of sustainable tourism and on-farm diversification in rural areas.

The sensory attractiveness of destinations has recently been one of the most important focal points when considering the impact of senses on positive and memorable travel experiences. Specifically, urban areas reflect different multisensory dimensions that can be analyzed and included in marketing efforts to stimulate positive tourists' experience and memory of a place, but also to encourage local sustainable development. Despite the fact that tourism studies center tourist experience mainly on visual impressions, recent researches stress the importance of recognizing and understanding the role of the human body in forming positive experiences, which is in tourism literature known as sensescapes (i.e., tactile, visual, gustatory, olfactory, and auditory senses).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores housing whose vacancy is purposeful and cyclical – namely, second homes. Since the early 2000’s Moroccan authorities have offered several versions of incentive programs for ordinary citizens to purchase single family apartments. Yet initial fieldwork around Tangier indicates that many of these sub-development units have been bought as second residences, vacation properties, or speculative investments by both domestic and diasporic Moroccans. Despite the political intention for these complexes to become inhabited, slum-relief housing, some portion are only periodically used, and therefore lying vacant while awaiting the return of the owner. The proliferation of housing complexes built as communities, but sold as investments, brings into relief how forms of guardianship fill the temporary vacancies left by mobile owners. With a complex history of property regulation and a strategic geopolitical and touristic position, Tangier provides both a unique and archetypical case for thinking about how property owners actively – or not – manage their property to keep it ‘filled’ in their absence.

Full textAbstract:
Barrier free tourism is increasingly getting a greater attention by the tourist industry, not just for the added value given to the touristic experience, but because of the difference and specialization on a wide market share that the Spanish touristic sector has not been able to fully take advantage of yet. Following this idea, the National Plan for Smart cities (Plan Nacional de Ciudades Inteligentes) stands up for smart touristic destinations where innovative technologies should play an important role to improve accessibility. The development of the mobile phone App “Barrier Free-Valencia” intents to offer a useful tool to walk through the city of Valencia guaranteeing a 100% barrier free route. The methodology used for the development is based on the combination of a systematic field work, using free access information provided by the Municipality of Valencia, and calculations based on the Dijkstra algorithm (1959) implemented on a GIS software. To calculate the route, it is used the impedance or crossing difficulty concept where the different urban barriers and low comfort situation areas are identified. The main data used are: presence of lower sidewalks, path narrowing, slopes, steps and noisy pavement. After this data has been identified, the routes are divided into accessible, passable, and not accessible. It is necessary to work on the idea of creating representative single line grids of sidewalks and, therefore, of real paths followed by urban citizens. By doing so, more data can be collected to build a complete Smart City grid. The development of Apps such as Barrier Free will help on the evolution towards more inclusive cities. An idea that is the basic line of our investigation.

Tripoli town plan (1930-1936). The consciousness of the pastThe paper recalls the well known urban facts of Tripoli during the Italian colonialism to eventually deepen the theme of the preservation of the past and not only of the Roman one, as well of the city walls. The town plan has been analyzed not only as it has been approved but also as it has been argued, not only through the drawings but also by the debate. A few letters between the professionals involved (especially Alberto Alpago Novello) and some authoritative exponents of the contemporary architecture culture and criticism (like, Gustavo Giovannoni) have assured an original source to underlines the critical background and to reveal a purpose of touristic and commercial development.

Full textAbstract:
Apesar da aparente espontaneidade, o processo de transformação de áreas litorâneas a partir do
desenvolvimento turístico é marcado, também, pela realização de esforços de planejamento por parte de
governos nacionais ou municipais. Das primeiras atuações europeias dos anos 1950, onde infraestruturas,
equipamentos e alojamentos foram criados integralmente à margem de estruturas preexistentes, aos
esforços atuais de requalificação de zonas criadas pelo desenvolvimento da atividade, muito foi feito e,
gradualmente, novas variáveis foram incorporadas. Este trabalho analisa algumas dessas experiências, no
sentido de demonstrar como valores do território, questões ambientais e distintas configurações urbanas
têm sido incorporadas pelo planejamento do território turístico. A amostra incorpora os casos do Languedoc
Roussillon, na França e do FONATUR, no México, exemplos de atuação integral do Estado, bem como
atuações de planejamento ocorridas a partir dos anos 1990, na Espanha, que sintetizam buscas
contemporâneas de requalificação de estruturas turísticas criadas pelo mercado em décadas anteriores. Despite the apparent spontaneity, the transformation of coastal areas influenced by tourism development is
also marked by the completion of planning efforts by national or local governments. Since first European
interventions in the 1950s, with the provision of infrastructure, equipments and accommodations
disconnected from the existing settlements, to the current efforts for qualification of previously developed
areas, a great deal was achieved and gradually new variables were incorporated. This paper analyses some
of these experiences in order to demonstrate how territory values, environmental issues and distinct urban
morphologies have been incorporated into Territorial Planning of touristic areas. The sample includes cases
of Languedoc Roussillon in France and FONATUR accomplishments in Mexico, examples of comprehensive
State planning, as well as planning interventions implemented from the 1990s in Spain, which synthesizes
contemporary searches for qualification of touristic settlements developed in last decades.

Full textAbstract:
Favignana Island, the biggest one among Egadi islands, is well known for its deposits of calcarenite, which has been extracted and used since ancient times. The landscape of the Island is shaped by the widespread presence of quarries that mark the seaside as well. Furthermore, the constant presence of dry-stone walls, made of calcarenite, and of the characteristic architecture of buildings, represents a hallmark for the rest of Egadi islands as well, making it clear how important the presence of this material has been for the architectural and technological culture of these places.Calcarenite itself, exported by this island, is still a constituent material of many buildings in the western part of Sicily, in particular the prestigious buildings of the Baroque period. The presence of calcarenite, while notably all other construction materials, including timber, are absent, has meant that all the construction elements, indoor and outdoor, as well as all settlement types, have been affected by the almost exclusive use of calcarenite, the quarrying methods and the craftsmen’s skills that inevitably derived from this context. Today, masonries, vaults, floors, roofs and all other elements show specific solutions that strongly characterize the buildings and the urban and rural landscape of the island.However, despite the constructive relevance of any elements or entire buildings, the touristic exploitation of the Egadi archipelago has brought to the replacement of buildings, or elements, as well as to a wrong and weak activity of building recovery. The reinterpretation of claddings and exposed masonry, and the replacement of original floors with concrete floors are just some of the many inappropriate interventions. In terms of typologies and morphological models, the study that we present has also dealt with the development of more adequate and relevant intervention techniques and repairs.

Plaza José María Planelles, 1. 03590 Altea E-mail: vicente.iborra@ua.es, zaragozasaura@gmail.com Keywords (3-5): Public space, historical urban evolution, tourism phenomena, urbanistic project, educational experience Conference topics and scale: City transformations The town of Altea (Alicante, Spain) has an important urban center that has historically been characterized by two contrasting situations: on one hand, the settlements located on the seaside elevations (Bellaguarda and the Renaissance Bastion) linked to the agricultural uses of the fertile valleys of the rivers Algar and els Arcs, and on the other hand the coastal developments, originally fishery, but nowadays with touristic uses on the maritime front. All these elements configure an urban nucleus that, due to its urban, architectural and landscape qualities, gives rise to one of the main tourist attractions of the region. However, the area described nowadays presents an important problem related to the use and habitability of public space, which is invaded by the presence of the private vehicle, even along the seaside, due to its touristic relevance. This article presents the results of an academic experience developed to study different possibilities of urban transformations for the municipality of Altea, taking as a project site the urban vacuum still conserved between the two situations previously described: the historical areas on the coastal elevations (Dalt) and new urban developments parallel to the seaside (Baix). This academic activity, performed by nearly 50 students from the University of Alicante, was developed in the context of the design course Urbanism 5 during the academic year 2015-16, thanks to the agreement signed between the Municipality of Altea and the University of Alicante.
