Representing City Development
Introduction City-building games, despite their niche status compared to mainstream action titles, significantly influence players’ conceptions of urban dynamics, governance, and spatial organization. Objective This study critically analyzes how selected urban simulation games represent the production and management of urban space, highlighting implicit ideological assumptions embedded within their spatial, political, and aesthetic dimensions. Me…
From maritime scholarship to marine governance
This paper traces the evolution of marine spatial planning (MSP) in Spain, from early geographical reflections on the territoriality of the sea to the institutional implementation of legally binding marine spatial plans. Building on the tradition of maritime geography, Spanish scholarship conceptualized the ocean as a political and spatial domain long before MSP emerged as a formal policy tool. The paper situates this intellectual lineage within …
Spatial analysis of changing sea levels and its implications for understanding prehistoric human settlement patterns in the southwestern Iberian Peninsula
Toward Realism
This study examines the fidelity of coastal environments depicted in open-world video games, aiming to evaluate the accuracy and representation of various coastal features. Through a systematic analysis of 20 selected video games, encompassing diverse settings and developers, coastal elements such as beaches, cliffs, and tidal marshes were scrutinized. A bespoke asymmetric indicator, tailored to each game's unique coastal landscape, was employed,…
Identifying major phases in the use of land, energy and changing landscapes by agrarian societies (7,000 cal BP-Present) in Cantabrian Spain, based on cultural changes and anthropogenic signals
Introduction Enacting transitions toward more sustainable management and use of land, energy, and natural resources poses multiple challenges for human societies. Such transitions have been a constant throughout human history and therefore there is a need to learn from them and apply that knowledge to current land-use policies and management. Significant human impact on landscape and environment in Cantabrian Spain has been documented in alignmen…
Geographical Aspects of Open-World Video Games
In recent years, open-world environments in video games have become increasingly popular and immersive. Millions of players are able to explore virtual landscapes that resemble the real world, yet significant differences exist. This study investigates the geographical accuracy of 15 open-world video games. The virtual landscapes in these games were analyzed for horizontal distance compression, increased slopes, idealized climate, simplified veget…
Método para el cálculo, análisis y representación espacial de la variable "tiempo sumergido bajo el nivel del mar durante la última glaciación" en la plataforma continental del Golfo de Cádiz (España …
In this paper we have mapped the time in which the continental shelf of the Atlantic coast of Andalusia (Spain) and Algarve (Portugal) has been emerged during the last glaciation, using a digital elevation model and a sea level model developed from the heights of twelve subperiods that encompass the entire glaciation. Since the Gulf of Cádiz coast has a wide continental shelf, the emerged surface during the glaciation was greater than at present,…
Coastal erosion risk assessment in the dynamic estuary
Improving the learning processes of Physical Geography through the use of landscape photographs in class
The use of alternative teaching methods to lectures is one of the keys to develop a more participatory and effective education. In the teaching of Geography, greater interaction of students with elements of the landscape through the active use of photography could be one of the ways to achieve this efficiency. This article describes an experiment conducted in 2016 with students of the subject Physical Geography of the Iberian Peninsula. Two diffe…
