  • Ratios profesionales en Servicios Sociales Comunitarios. Hacia una propuesta para su cálculo desde el caso andaluz

    Open Access•Auxiliadora González-Portillo, E Ruiz-Ballesteros et al.•ARTICLE•Alternativas Cuadernos de trabajo…•2026

    Introducción. Las ratios profesionales son estratégicas para el funcionamiento de los servicios sociales comunitarios. Por lo general, se valoran como insuficientes por diferentes sectores (colegios profesionales, personas usuarias, academia) lo que hace que de manera recurrente se reivindique la ampliación de las mismas con vistas a garantizar la sostenibilidad del sistema, mejorar la atención a la ciudadanía y crear un entorno laboral más salud…

  • Tourism, Water, and Rural Crisis in a Mediterranean Mountain Socio-Ecosystem

    Open Access•María-Cristina Gálvez-García, E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Human Ecology•2026•References: 47

    The rural crisis in Western countries is a complex issue that affects not only demographic, economic, and social aspects but also environmental ones. In areas where the natural environment and cultural practices have been closely linked through centuries of interaction, the decline of the natural environment is closely connected to population decline and the abandonment of traditional activities. In these areas, tourism is seen as an economic alt…

  • Community-based tourism and rural demographic decline. Reflections from Extremadura (Spain)

    E Ruiz-Ballesteros, Cristina Gálvez-García et al.•ARTICLE•Current Issues in Tourism•2025

    Policies that aim to tackle rural depopulation have prioritised the development of tourism as a primary strategy to reverse demographic decline. But do we really understand the demographic impact of these community-based tourism initiatives on the development of rural areas in crisis? It is very difficult to address this question from a statistical perspective based on secondary data, because such an approach is unable to establish direct causal …

  • Organisational culture as a professional care strategy. Public social work in Andalusia (Spain)

    Auxiliadora González-Portillo, E Ruiz-Ballesteros et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work Practice•2025

    Social work is a highly pressurised profession with high rates of stress and professional burnout. The strategy for dealing with this situation has usually focused on self-care. Issues related to organisational culture have been studied as exacerbators of professional stress but rarely addressed as palliative factors. The purpose of this article is to analyse how the organisational models in which social workers carry out their work can contribut…

  • Neo‐Rurals and Tourism in the Context of Rural Crisis in Southern Europe. Case Study in the Sierra de Aracena (Andalusia, Spain)

    Open Access•José Manuel Álvarez‐montoya, E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Rural Sociology•2025

    The role of newcomers in the contemporary rural world has been widely studied, but the variability of profiles they present (amenity migrants, classic economic immigrants, neo‐rurals...) suggests that not all these actors have the same effects on the rural world and its crises. This article examines specifically how neo‐rurals—a population that is politically committed to sustainable rural development—influence the socio‐environmental, socio‐econ…

  • Homecoming tourism and community social capital

    Open Access•María-Cristina Gálvez-García, Germán Jaraíz-Arroyo et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Tourism Research•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 48

    Tourism in rural contexts is often approached from a perspective that situates the tourist as a customer but not as an active part of the community. This generates the feeling that the loss of social cohesion, one of the great problems affecting the rural world, can only be tackled by those who reside permanently in the villages. Our research proposes a broader view of the issue through the concept of homecoming tourism, a phenomenon whereby emig…

    Open Access•Auxiliadora González-Portillo, E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Poverty & Public Policy•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    Research on vulnerability has mainly focused on urban contexts, which has shaped and conditioned the research that has been developed in rural contexts. In this sense, research in rural contexts is not only scarce but also limited in several respects: (1) in the concept of vulnerability (almost exclusively limited to material deprivation and poverty or environmental disasters and climate change); (2) in the methodological approach (almost exclusi…

  • Eco-Esteem and Depopulation: Broadening the Perspective on the Demographic Challenge in the Rural World

    Open Access•Germán Jaraíz-Arroyo, E Ruiz-Ballesteros et al.•ARTICLE•Rural Sociology•2025•References: 8

    The dynamics of contemporary rural depopulation have been explained and addressed mainly as a result of structural transformations brought about by economic globalization. The influence of cultural/relational aspects has been less present in the scientific literature, where much of the analysis has been concerned with questions such as the effect of bond and attachment to the local. In connection with this matter, our paper explores how the inter…

    Open Access•José A Salinas-Pérez, E Ruiz-Ballesteros et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2024

    In Andalusia, Community Social Service Centres (CSSCs) are funded by regulations following demographic, geographic, economic, and social disadvantage criteria. This study aims to analyse the geographical distribution of funding per inhabitant of CSSC by catchment area in Andalusia in 2019, and to study the statistical associations between funding and a range of demographic and socioeconomic indicators. The study spatial units ( n = 184) included …

  • Eradicate to Construct Nature. Goats, Rats, and Humans in Floreana (Galapagos Islands)

    E Ruiz-Ballesteros, Alberto Del Campo Tejedor•ARTICLE•Ethnos•2024

    Species eradication is a common strategy in naturalisation processes. It is no longer just about conserving or protecting, but about eliminating "invasive" species that have no place in the "restored" socio-ecosystem. This type of process is more complex than it is often presented, and its consequences transcend the strictly techno-ecological dimension. To understand it better, we propose an approach that considers eradication as a process that e…

  • Newcomers and rural crisis: Beyond the demographic challenge. A case study in Andalusia (Spain)

    Open Access•José Manuel Álvarez‐montoya, E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Journal of Rural Studies•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 12

    Newcomers are key agents in the fight against rural depopulation, but the rural crisis is not only a demographic fact; it is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, so we set out to analyse it from the perspective of the socio-ecosystem. In this article, we study the relationship between newcomers and rural crisis, focusing on the way in which new residents are integrated into the socio-ecosystem at the socio-economic, socio-identity, and socio-environme…

  • Limiting rural tourism: Local agency and community-based tourism in Andalusia (Spain)

    Open Access•E Ruiz-Ballesteros, Auxiliadora González-Portillo•ARTICLE•Tourism Management•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 28

    Rural tourism, understood as community-based tourism (CBT), is characterised by being locally led and by its role in economic diversification. In this context, local agency becomes particularly relevant in the form of decisions to become involved in the tourism business or not. From this perspective, it is possible to analyse the tactics used by households to expand or contract the tourist offer based on their available resources and their concep…

  • What community for community-based tourism

    E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Current Issues in Tourism•2023

    Community-based tourism (CBT) is a way of organizing tourism that must have a consistent effect on the configuration of the community. Therefore, community is a strategic element in the analysis of CBT. However, studies into CBT are usually lacking an anchoring point for a solid conceptualization of community. To define community in the context of CBT, we propose a phenomenological perspective that focuses on collective action and reciprocity; th…

    The practice of social work in rural settings represent a specific challenge for the profession although this subject has received very little attention in the European literature. In contrast to urban settings, social work in rural areas is conditioned by organisational circumstances and specific socio-cultural contexts, which require reflection on the possible specificity of professional practice in these areas. The purpose of this article is t…

    Las profesiones vinculadas a la intervención social están sometidas a una fuerte presión que provoca altos índices de estrés y desgaste profesional; por tanto, el cuidado de los profesionales se convierte en un ámbito estratégico de gestión. La cultura organizativa ha sido estudiada como elemento intensificador de ese estrés profesional y escasamente abordada como elemento paliativo del mismo. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo la cult…

  • Greyhounds, Hunters, and Hares: The Construction of Fluid Animality in Interspecies Relations

    Helena P Gamuz, E Ruiz-Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Anthrozoös•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 31

    The pursuit of hares with greyhounds (known as “coursing”) is a very common hunting practice in the villages of the Guadalquivir Valley, Andalusia (Spain) and is strongly rooted in the history of the area. This kind of hunting provides an intersubjective/interspecies context that hints at the ambivalence of animality as a category. By applying a phenomenological perspective, and through the development of ethnographic research, we study the relat…

  • Housing tactics: Searching for community resilience in depopulated rural contexts (Huertas, South West Spain)

    Open Access•Macarena Hernández‐ramírez, Rafael Cáceres Feria et al.•ARTICLE•Sociologia Ruralis•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 37

    Depopulation of the rural world jeopardises the continuity of many communities and the socioecosystems they support. In response to this situation, diverse strategies are activated to ensure the continuity of these socioecosystems. All these initiatives seek, directly or indirectly, to strengthen community resilience, with a view to making the changes required to reverse the population trend. One of the most obvious, but least studied, effects of…

    Floreana, the smallest and least inhabited island in the Galapagos, is considered both a “hell” and a “paradise”; a remote and isolated place and, at the same time, a context that today has more comforts and privileges than the Mainland. Extensive ethnography developed over a decade, which analyses the practices, discourses and tactics of the islanders and other social actors, shows how Floreana residents live with high levels of transformation, …

  • Depopulation, community-based tourism, and community resilience in southwest Spain”

    Concern about depopulation and its effects has fuelled the search for economic alternatives to traditional agricultural activities in rural areas. One of the most frequently used strategies is the promotion of community-based tourism (CBT), an activity that, when organised and managed locally, can effectively counter the crisis. CBT can promote resilience by mobilising community members and their resources. This article uses an ethnographic case …

    En este artículo se presenta una aproximación antropológica a las experiencias de madres de personas con autismo. Dichas madres viven el ejercicio normativo de su maternidad en permanente tensión habida cuenta de la caracterización que se hace de la discapacidad de sus hijos e hijas desde el ámbito médico. La convergencia entre maternidad y autismo, considerados como fenómenos culturales, sujetos a conceptos y prácticas plurales, nos permitirá pr…

  • La dimensión cultural del engaño: Picaresca, venta ambulante y tauromaquia en Andalucía

    Un arraigado estereotipo vincula a los habitantes de Andalucía al engaño y la mentira, al mismo tiempo que los desvalora en relación a los castellanos. Articulando un doble enfoque, histórico-cultural y antropológico, este artículo analiza conjunta y comparativamente las significaciones y el papel del engaño en la construcción discursiva de la picaresca andaluza en dos contextos de interacción: la venta ambulante y el toreo.

    The naturalization of protected areas is based on the discursive redefinition of both the environment and the social actors that inhabit it. This article studies how, within the processes associated with the creation and management of protected areas, discourses are generated that define humanity in relation to nature and its effects on access to resources and power relations. These processes are analyzed on the basis of a comparative ethnographi…

La literatura presenta los fenómenos de etnogénesis como procesos multidimensionales afectados por intereses territor…

  • Resiliencia Socioecológica: Aportaciones y retos desde la Antropología

    Open Access•Javier Escalera Reyes, E Ruiz-Ballesteros et al.•ARTICLE•Revista de Antropología Social•2011•Cited by: 6•References: 3

    La necesidad de una comprensión compleja de los territorios y su devenir está siendo encarada a través de nociones como las de sistema complejo adaptativo y socio-ecosistema. La sensibilidad ambiental es cada vez más una sensibilidad socio-ambiental. Así la sostenibilidad ha comenzado a reformularse desde las propias ciencias de la naturaleza a través del concepto de resiliencia socio-ecológica, reclamándose una transdisciplinaridad que sea capaz…

    El renacimiento del tomate «rosao» en la Sierra de Aracena (Huelva, España) no es un caso único, sino más bien ilustrativo de procesos paralelos en otras zonas. El estudio de esta variedad de tomate y su significación socio-ecológica, nos permite arrojar luz sobre conceptos clave en las políticas de reactivación rural: patrimonio, desarrollo y cotidianidad. Para ello hemos trabajado en torno a sus formas de producción, distribución y consumo, y a…

    Open Access•E Ruiz-Ballesteros, Esteban Ruiz Ballesteros•ARTICLE•Gazeta de Antropología•2012

La investigación se ha llevado a cabo en el ámbito de un plan de intervención pública en 16 municipios de una provincia andaluza, en el que se pretendían desarrollar formas participativas de intervención social.

Building upon the case of the island community of Floreana, within the Galápagos National Park (GNP) in Ecuador (where…

    Open Access•E Ruiz-Ballesteros, Rafael Cáceres-Feria et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Material Culture•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 15

    To enhance our understanding of processes of environment naturalization, we must go beyond the discursive, political and perceptive dimensions. Nature is also praxis: a specific form of bond and relationship established between humans and the environments they inhabit, closely related to processes of naturalization. To analyse these practices that substantiate nature, this article examines kitchen gardens in Alájar, a locality set within a natura…
