Analysing social media climate change discourses by coastal destinations
This study investigates social media climate change communication by Spanish coastal destinations on Twitter/X, analysing the communication themes (causes, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation) and contrasting strategies between destinations. Using a systematic methodology, tweets from January 2018 to February 2022 were collected and processed for extracting climate change-related content. The analysis highlighted a significant focus on mitigation…
Designing Public Transportation Services for Car‐Dependent Rural Destinations: An Application in the Case of the Ebro Delta (Spain)
This paper proposes a method for developing alternative transportation policies in car‐dependent rural areas, supporting the United Nations' decarbonisation goals and aiming to mitigate the impacts of drive‐tourism in sensitive regions. After analysing tourist travel patterns, examining the proliferation of parking lots, identifying key tourist infrastructure, and cataloguing the existing public transport network in a case study of the Ebro Delta…
Harnessing rooftop photovoltaic potential: Adoption disparities across building types in Tarragona Province, Spain
Exploring the public bus ridership loss and recovery during the Covid-19 pandemic: A spatiotemporal analysis using smart card data
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the demand of public transport systems. Nevertheless, the global decrease and recovery of users has been uneven both in time and space. It is important to understand the extent of the unequal resilience of service areas with different characteristics. The objective of this study is to map the patterns of variations in the use of public bus at different scales, urban and regional. The data used we…
Labour precarity in the visitor economy and decisions to move out
This article examines social disadvantage in tourist sites through the lens of labour geography by focusing on the residential trajectories of a sample of workers in Barcelona (N = 8,651) over a decade (2008–2019). Contrasting with the common view that tourism growth brings prosperity to local communities, it suggests instead that buoyant destinations may be prone to leaving their workforces behind. Path analysis modelling reveals that tourism se…
VGI and Satellite Imagery Integration for Crisis Mapping of Flood Events
Timely mapping of flooded areas is critical to several emergency management tasks including response and recovery activities. In fact, flood crisis maps embed key information for an effective response to the natural disaster by delineating its spatial extent and impact. Crisis mapping is usually carried out by leveraging data provided by satellite or airborne optical and radar sensors. However, the processing of these kinds of data demands experi…
Passive Mobile Data for Studying Seasonal Tourism Mobilities: An Application in a Mediterranean Coastal Destination
The article uses passive mobile data to analyse the complex mobilities that occur in a coastal region characterised by seasonal patterns of tourism activity. A large volume of data generated by mobile phone users has been selected and processed to subsequently display the information in the form of visualisations that are useful for transport and tourism research, policy, and practice. More specifically, the analysis consisted of four steps: (1) …
A visual data analysis for determining the geographical extent of the cabreves
Leveraging Container Technologies in a GIScience Project: A Perspective from Open Reproducible Research
Scientific reproducibility is essential for the advancement of science. It allows the results of previous studies to be reproduced, validates their conclusions and develops new contributions based on previous research. Nowadays, more and more authors consider that the ultimate product of academic research is the scientific manuscript, together with all the necessary elements (i.e., code and data) so that others can reproduce the results. However,…
Profiling tourists' use of public transport through smart travel card data
A graph-based analysis for generating geographical context from a historical cadastre in Spain (17th and 18th centuries)
The cabreves are notarial documents prepared between the 13th and 19th centuries in the Catalan and Valencian regions of Spain. These historical records were published before the first cadastral maps and contain geographical information that could help spatially reconstruct historical landscapes. However, these documents have not been used to their full potential mainly because of their semi-structured and complex nature. In this article, we prop…
Traditional knowledge of medicinal plants in the Serra de Mariola Natural Park, South-eastern Spain
The present study aims to inventory and analyse the ethnobotanical knowledge about medicinal plants in the Serra de Mariola Natural Park. In respect to traditional uses, 93 species reported by local informants were therapeutic, 27 food, 4 natural dyes and 13 handcrafts. We developed a methodology that allowed the location of individuals or vegetation communities with a specific popular use. We prepared a geographic information system (GIS) that i…
