Street Naming in Malta as a Geo-Cultural and Political Exercise as Seen from Local Sources
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 …
Evaluating possible prehistoric cave art in the central Mediterranean
Stakeholder’s (natural) hazard awareness and vulnerability of small island tourism destinations
Small island tourism destinations are particularly vulnerable to (natural) hazards, disasters and crises. Although much literature considers disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies, risk mitigation and the impacts of disasters on the tourism industry, the literature on how these strategies are implemented and managed by stakeholders with vested interests is scarce. Understanding stakeholders’ awareness of threats, and their ability and knowledge…
The values of open data
This paper explores the values of open data in the context of differential power relations in academia and, in particular, the significance of open data policies for early career researchers and career development
The city‐island‐state, wounding cascade, and multi‐level vulnerability explored through the lens of Malta
In this paper, we introduce the concept of “city‐island‐state” into a discussion of small highly urbanised islands. We place the “city” at the forefront of our analysis by bringing together the geographies of the “city” and “state,” together with a wider discussion of factors that may cause both the wounding of the city and an increase in the precariousness of the “island.” We apply this concept to the advanced city‐island‐state of Malta (Central…
Durham University and its role in Malta's development planning during the 1950s through applied research
Traditional Use of Shore Platforms
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, …
Marine notches in the Maltese islands (central Mediterranean Sea)
Geomorphological identification, classification and spatial distribution of coastal landforms of Malta (Mediterranean Sea)
This paper presents the outcomes of a geomorphological investigation carried out along the coasts of the island of Malta and provides a detailed classification of the Maltese coastline based on the identification and definition of specific coastal geomorphotypes. The results of field surveys, supported by air-photo interpretation, have led to the production of a coastal geomorphological map at 1:30,000 scale which outlines the processes and relat…
