  • Street Naming in Malta as a Geo-Cultural and Political Exercise as Seen from Local Sources

    Open AccessJohn Schembri, John A Schembri et al.CHAPTERPlace Naming, Identities and…2023

    Street naming in Malta is essentially a reflection of the colonial and post-colonial influences. This is seen within a number of spatial scales: the national (country), regional (towns and villages), and local (streets). A further factor that influences the naming of streets is the language used in identifying their location with a spray of vernacular Maltese (Semitic), Italian (Romance) and English. Although the Maltese Islands were occupied by …

  • Traditional Use of Shore Platforms

    Open AccessRitienne Gauci, John Schembri et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2017

    Shore platforms and salinas in the Mediterranean region have a long-standing relationship, rooted in the traditional practice of salt making. On small islands with limited natural resources, the production of salt from seawater, through insolation and intense human endeavour, offered numerous economic benefits. Salt has been a foremost natural resource for millennia with a range of uses from preserving edible foods to cooking, cleaning, laundry, …
