Assessing urban heatwave vulnerability through a multiscale and multicriteria GIS-based approach: Evidence from three Spanish cities
As climate change intensifies, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe, increasing risks for urban populations. This study presents a multiscale and multicriteria GIS-based methodology for assessing urban heatwave vulnerability, grounded in the IPCC framework and applied to three Spanish cities: Bilbao, Madrid, and Caceres. A key innovation lies in evaluating vulnerability at two spatial scales—buildings and open public spaces—which captu…
A multidisciplinary study on the location of Roman sites in the southern sub‐plateau of the Iberian Peninsula
Architectural and engineering elements of the Roman civilization constitute an important cultural heritage. Nevertheless, not all ancient Roman cities and the roads connecting them have been found, mainly because classical geographical sources show a significant lack of precision. A more precise identification of archaeological findings is necessary because sometimes different archaeological sites are proposed as the same Roman city. The geograph…
Multidimensional procedure for mapping and monitoring urban energy vulnerability at regional level using public data: Proposal and implementation into a case study in Spain
Energy poverty is nowadays one of the biggest challenges to be tackled in the European Union, so identifying the number of households in a situation of energy vulnerability and taking the necessary measures to protect vulnerable and energy poor customers is considered to be essential. In this study, a simple methodology for identifying and monitoring energy vulnerable areas based on information available in public databases is presented. This pap…
Vulnerability assessment and categorization against heat waves for the Bilbao historic area
Climate change is threatening urban cultural heritage's preservation and survival. To improve the resilience of urban systems, planning decision-making processes must consider the risks that climate change poses to heritage. Nevertheless, despite the extensive body of research on climate-related hazards, there remains a significant knowledge deficiency related to the assessment of risks that considers heat waves and historic urban sites. This stu…
Remaking urban divides: Shifting patterns of neighborhood differentiation in Bilbao, Spain
Intensifying social and spatial divisions have been on the rise in cities since the 1980s. This trend has evolved in a context of increasing socioeconomic inequality and is exacerbated by the effects of the last economic crisis and austerity policies. Understanding the differential impact of these processes on vulnerable social groups and urban areas is crucial for developing effective policy responses to the challenges of social exclusion and ne…
A holistic and multi-stakeholder methodology for vulnerability assessment of cities to flooding and extreme precipitation events
Landforms of the lower Hushe Valley (Central Karakoram, Pakistan)
This paper presents a new geomorphological map for the lower Hushe Valley (below 3400 m asl), located to the SE of the Central Karakoram in Baltistan (North Pakistan). Fieldwork and remote sensing were combined to improve understanding of the most recent surface landforms to produce a 1:50,000 scale map. Thirteen landform types associated with glacial, fluvial, gravitational and mass wasting processes were identified and mapped. Particular emphas…
Crisis y austeridad: Amenaza para el empleo femenino en las regiones europeas
El objetivo del trabajo es explorar la relación entre las tasas de paro de mujeres y de hombres, y la variación en el empleo público a escala regional. Para ello se plantean diversos indicadores orientados al análisis descriptivo del desempleo a nivel regional en el ámbito de la UE-15 y se hace una mapificación de los resultados. La principal conclusión es que la importante segregación sectorial del empleo por sexo y el papel que desempeña el emp…
Diferenciación socio-espacial urbana: Mapa sintético de la estratificación de los barrios de Bilbao
El objetivo de este trabajo es obtener una clasificación de los barrios de Bilbao (España) que permita apoyar la formulación y aplicación de las políticas urbanas. Para ello, se ha realizado una caracterización de los barrios del municipio de Bilbao en relación con los rasgos de la población, las condiciones socio-económicas, la cohesión social y las características de las viviendas. Esta clasificación se ha obtenido mediante el Análisis Factoria…
