[EN] Land use and land cover (hereafter, LULC) change has occurred throughout history and will continue in the future. Soil properties are dependent on many factors such as LULC and intensity of use. The aim of this work was to assess the historical (1990–2018) and future trends (2050 and 2075) in LULC change and evaluate the effects of LULC on soil physicochemical properties in the Province of Salamanca, Spain. First period has been used due to the abundant and accurate available information for establishing a chronosequence based on homogeneous criteria, and considering the relevant past changes in the area. The second period allows for accurate and truthful projections avoiding distortions. The CORINE Land Cover was reclassified based on the eight most relevant LULC in the province to show historical and current LULCs, occupying an area greater than 2.50 %: Artificial surfaces (As), Non-irrigated arable land (Na), Permanently irrigated land (Pi), Natural grasslands, dehesa and transitional woodland–scrub (Pastures, heterogeneous agricultural areas) (Pha), Coniferous forests (Cf), Broad-leaved forests (Bf), Sclerophyllous vegetation/Mixed forests (Mf), and Water courses (W). Six of these (excepting As and W) were soil sampled to a depth of 0–10 cm and physicochemical analyses were carried out. We found expansion of agricultural areas (mainly Pha) that affected the soil properties in the past; and future variations in coverage are anticipated that could significantly deplete soil nutrients and other changes in soil properties. It is essential to understand the evolution of LULC and how they influence on soil properties to ensure soil sustainability and to be able to take measures to protect certain LULCs or limit certain intensities of use and possible harmful practices.

[EN] Urban agriculture is expanding worldwide and is being promoted by the FAO as a strategic activity because of its environmental, socio-economic, and educational benefits for citizens. In Spain, it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 urban gardens. There are many variables to take into account when starting to cultivate an urban garden, among which the quality of the soil is crucial. Nevertheless, some studies have shown high levels of contamination in soils dedicated to urban horticulture. The sources of contamination can be various, such as previous unrecognized management and irrigation with poor quality water, or the addition of polluted compost and other soil improvers. Soil contamination can migrate to vegetables and fruits, thus entering the food chain. Materials and methods In this study, we analyzed the soils from ten urban gardens in the city of Barcelona, with a special focus on possible contaminants. Based on the possibility that irrigation water is a source of pollution, this was also analyzed in all investigated gardens. Results and discussion Some of the waters analyzed for irrigation have a high concentration of salts, and a few of them contain nitrites, which are listed as a pollutant. The dominant texture of the soils was sandy clay loam and loamy sand, the pH was generally high, between 7.87 and 8.41, clearly carbonated, with Ca generally being the dominant exchangeable cation, but without the risk of a high percentage of active carbonates that could make it difficult to grow vegetables. The content in organic matter was very variable, but in all cases it appeared to be potentially incrementable. The three tests used to check possible soil contamination from heavy metals, do not attest to significant pollution. Conclusions The soil quality overall is suitable for growing vegetables and allowing growers to work in these areas in complete safety. Although it would be necessary to analyze also other toxic elements, not considered in this study, some of the measured ones could come from the gases of road transport or even from the port of Barcelona.

With the effects of fire, weather and post-fire management on soil properties having been studied mostly individually, there is little understanding of the combined effects of wildfire, heavy storm and straw mulching. In this study, we evaluated the changes in soil properties following a high-severity fire, post-fire soil treatment using straw mulch, and a torrential storm in a forest stand in north-western Portugal. The main physicochemical properties of the soil were evaluated in different soil conditions: a) burnt and untreated, b) burnt and mulched areas, and c) unburnt sites on three survey dates 1) soon after wildfire, 2) after the rainstorm, and 3) one year after wildfire. We found that soil water repellency strongly increased ephemerally immediately after wildfire, decrease after the storm and disappeared after one year. Fire reduced the soil organic matter (by 50%, on average), total nitrogen (by 85–90%) and available phosphorous (by about 45%) at both the mulched and untreated sites, and this effect was not changed by the ensuing rainfall. In comparison to the unburnt sites, the pH increased in the burnt soils, and the electrical conductivity decreased. Finally, the dynamics of the major cations and minor elements were affected differently by the wildfire and rainfall under the different soil conditions. One year after the fire, the most notable changes compared to the unburnt soil were detected in magnesium, potassium and almost all the minor elements. Based on these findings, instructions were given to the land managers (aim to control soil hydrophobicity following wildfire, supply more soil organic matter to the soil to avoid a decline in soil fertility, and use alternative actions to straw mulching to control the soil chemistry) that were aimed at more effective post-fire management in severely burnt areas in Mediterranean forests.

[EN] This investigation is a study of the spatial propagation of a flood through the execution of two processes integrated into Geographic Information Systems to produce maps of potential flood zones. Based on Multicriteria Assessment (MCDA) techniques, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to identify areas with different potential degrees of flooding, and the hydrodynamic behavior of the extension is analyzed in terms of flooding in relation to different maximum flows, using the Nays2D solver of the iRIC software. For MCDA, four essential parameters were used for the evaluation of flood zones in the middle and lower course of the Acha–Arica: land use, elevation, slope of the land and distance to the river were used for the establishment of potential zoning. While photogrammetry procedures and a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model, together with base calculation conditions such as roughness, edge, discharge and time, were used for the hydrodynamic simulation of flooding for four different maximum flows of 42, 57, 84 and 114 m3/s. The results indicate that the AHP technique allows quite a coherent prediction of flood zones to be made with a limited amount of data. Hydrodynamic simulation with Nays2D allowed a simulated graphic representation of the extension to be obtained that reflects conditions very close to the actual conditions in which these events take place. Validation was performed by comparing the results with each other and with other sources of documentary records which showed high similarities between flood zones obtained.

In arid areas, rural communities can be affected by erosive phenomena caused by intense rainfall. By involving such communities in participatory mapping over the last few decades, our ability to analyse the effects of these phenomena has been enhanced. The aim of this study was to evaluate participatory mapping as a tool for spatially analysing agricultural variations caused by erosive phenomena, using local people to identify chronologies of physical events so we could analyse their effects on agriculture. The study was conducted in Laonzana, Tarapacá Valley, in northern Chile. We selected the participants for the participatory mapping using specific criteria, and carried out field activities in different phases, which allowed the identification, georeferencing and registration (through participatory mapping) of the information collected in the field and from the collective memories of the participants. Three periods were studied. This provided evidence for a decrease in the number of productive sites, these being limited to the vicinity of the village. The participatory mapping technique has become a useful tool in desert and mountainous areas with low population densities for recovering experiential information from communities.

[EN] Gully erosion is a complex and multicausal process influenced by climatic conditions, soil properties, and land use/land cover (LULCC). In Southeastern Brazil, especially in the State of Sa ̃o Paulo, the Cuesta relief under a tropical climate contains numerous gullies within cattle pastures. The interactions among these factors remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explain gully sidewall erosion by (i) identifying the role of the tropical climate and soil properties (grain size, soil penetration resistance, and infiltration rates) on erosion processes, (ii) assessing the role of cattle grazing, and (iii) evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing restoration measures. We applied three complementary approaches: monitoring gully sidewalls over a three-year period, comparing contrasting LULCC types, and analyzing soil physical properties during wet and dry periods. Statistical tech- niques were used to examine the relationships among soil physical properties and erosion patterns. The results show that the headcut sectors are particularly vulnerable, functioning as preferential entry points for surface flows during wet periods. Cattle grazing intensifies sidewall erosion, whereas afforestation reduces it, although not fully preventing degradation. Cattle trampling and fine grain size can increase soil penetration resistance and reduce infiltration rates, rendering specific sectors prone to erosion. Despiste spatial limitations, these findings highlight the importance of targeted soil management and restoration strategies to limit gully expansion and conserve soil resources. They also emphasize that continuous monitoring of soil and vegetation properties is essential to support adaptive management and enhance landscape resilience. [ES] La erosión en cárcavas es un proceso complejo y multicausal influenciado por las condiciones climáticas, las propiedades del suelo y el uso/cobertura de la tierra (LULCC). En el sureste de Brasil, especialmente en el estado de São Paulo, el relieve de la Cuesta, bajo un clima tropical, contiene numerosas cárcavas dentro de los pastizales para ganado. Las interacciones entre estos factores aún no se comprenden del todo. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explicar la erosión de las paredes laterales de las cárcavas mediante (i) la identificación del papel del clima tropical y las propiedades del suelo (tamaño del grano, resistencia a la penetración del suelo y tasas de infiltración) en los procesos de erosión, (ii) la evaluación del papel del pastoreo de ganado y (iii) la evaluación de la efectividad de las medidas de restauración en curso. Aplicamos tres enfoques complementarios: monitoreo de las paredes laterales de las cárcavas durante un período de tres años, comparación de tipos contrastantes de LULCC y análisis de las propiedades físicas del suelo durante períodos húmedos y secos. Se utilizaron técnicas estadísticas para examinar las relaciones entre las propiedades físicas del suelo y los patrones de erosión. Los resultados muestran que los sectores de cabecera son particularmente vulnerables, funcionando como puntos de entrada preferenciales para los flujos superficiales durante los períodos húmedos. El pastoreo de ganado intensifica la erosión de las laderas, mientras que la reforestación la reduce, aunque no la previene por completo. El pisoteo del ganado y el tamaño fino del grano pueden aumentar la resistencia a la penetración del suelo y reducir las tasas de infiltración, lo que hace que ciertos sectores sean propensos a la erosión. A pesar de las limitaciones espaciales, estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de las estrategias de manejo y restauración del suelo dirigidas a limitar la expansión de las cárcavas y conservar los recursos edáficos. También enfatizan que el monitoreo continuo de las propiedades del suelo y la vegetación es esencial para respaldar el manejo adaptativo y mejorar la resiliencia del paisaje.

[ES] El sector turístico se ha convertido en el motor de la economía española y, concretamente, el turismo cultural, la alternativa al turismo de sol y playa de la costa, en el pilar de las ciudades del interior. En el caso de Zamora este impacto viene precedido por las formas de gestión de los diferentes atractivos que marcan los flujos turísticos a lo largo del año. Las entrevistas al personal cualificado de diferentes sectores, así como la recopilación de bibliografía y de datos, permiten articular un discurso basado en la trascendencia de una buena gestión patrimonial y turística para hacerla más cercana, a la par que sostenible, tanto para el turista como para el residente.

[ES] El sector turístico es clave para la economía global, pero su crecimiento desmedido puede tener efectos negativos sobre la cultura, el medio ambiente y las comunidades locales. Por ello, la transición hacia un modelo de desarrollo sostenible se ha vuelto esencial. Organismos internacionales, como la ONU Turismo, junto con Gobiernos nacionales, promueven medidas para garantizar que el turismo respete los límites del entorno. Salamanca, con su valioso patrimonio histórico, enfrenta el reto de equilibrar el crecimiento turístico con la conservación de su legado. En este contexto, el Plan de Sostenibilidad Turística en Destino, aprobado en 2021, busca optimizar los flujos de turistas mediante tecnologías innovadoras y una gestión inteligente, reduciendo el impacto ambiental y ofreciendo una experiencia enriquecedora para turistas y residentes. Este plan se alinea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y la Agenda 2030, con un enfoque integral hacia la sostenibilidad. A través de esta iniciativa, Salamanca no solo refuerza su compromiso con la sostenibilidad, sino que también se perfila como un referente en la gestión turística de ciudades patrimoniales.

[ES] El artículo analiza el impacto del turismo cultural en el desarrollo urbano y local de Salamanca, considerando sus dimensiones económicas, socioculturales y territoriales. La investigación adopta un enfoque mixto que combina análisis cuantitativo, basado en estadísticas oficiales sobre población, turismo y urbanismo, con un enfoque cualitativo sustentado en la revisión bibliográfica y entrevistas semiestructuradas realizada a actores clave del sector turístico y la comunidad local. Los resultados muestran que, aunque el turismo ha consolidado a Salamanca como un destino cultural de referencia y ha contribuido al crecimiento económico, la creación de empleo y la diversificación de la oferta cultural, también ha generado impactos adversos sobre la estructura urbana y social. Entre los efectos más relevantes destacan la gentrificación del centro histórico, la presión sobre el mercado inmobiliario, la pérdida de población residente y la disminución de la calidad de vida de determinados colectivos, especialmente jóvenes y estudiantes. La masificación turística, junto con la limitada integración de la planificación urbana y patrimonial, ha tensionado la capacidad de acogida del espacio urbano y de sus principales monumentos, comprometiendo la sostenibilidad a largo plazo del modelo actual. El estudio pone de relieve la necesidad de avanzar hacia un modelo de gestión más equilibrado, que articule la planificación urbana con la sostenibilidad social y ambiental, la participación ciudadana y la aplicación de herramientas de Smart Tourism. En conjunto, el trabajo contribuye al debate sobre la sostenibilidad de los destinos patrimoniales, proponiendo una transición hacia un modelo de turismo inteligente que garantice la habitabilidad, la resiliencia y la preservación del patrimonio cultural de Salamanca

[EN ]This article examines the urban resilience strategies adopted by the city of Salamanca in response to the challenges posed by climate change, sustainability and historic heritage conservation. It aims to assess the extent to which adaptive measures have been integrated into urban planning, with particular emphasis on sustainability and the preservation of cultural heritage. Drawing on an analytical methodology that includes the review of local policies and flagship initiatives, such as Low Emission Strategy, Savia Salamanca and Life Vía de la Plata, which combine nature-based solutions with urban regeneration; jointly with secondary literature, progress in the implementation of these initiatives and persistent challenges will be reviewed. Despite advances reflected in the Local Action Plan of the Urban Agenda, which underscores Salamanca’s commitment to a resilient and sustainable urban model, there are still significant challenges in the long-term implementation of these policies. Achieving a balanced and resilient development model will require enhanced cooperation among stakeholders, improved environmental indicators and the promotion of social inclusion.

[EN] This paper revisits the assessment of aviation regulatory regimes through air liberalisation indices (ALIs). Most studies are based on the clauses of bilateral air service agreements (BASAs) that are coded and converted into scores to form an ALI. However, BASAs are commonly amended by memoranda of understanding or other kinds of arrangements that are usually not made publicly available. This paper investigates the gap in ALI values between the original BASAs and further amendments, considering a large range of BASAs signed by Belgium and Brazil with third countries. It is found that the degree of aviation liberalisation of amended BASAs is often significantly higher than the original BASAs’ clauses (Belgium: +86 % on average; Brazil: +146 %). This confirms that ALIs based on the original BASAs can be significantly biased and underestimate the actual degree of aviation liberalisation. This calls for making all agreements and their subsequent amendments publicly available. We argue this should be done under the auspices of the ICAO.

[EN] The 2021 volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) demonstrated how existing spatial planning was unable to reduce vulnerability. It also opened up a window of opportunity to change volcanic risk perceptions since specific spatial planning legislation was needed to tackle the recovery and reconstruction of Valle de Aridane. However, more than three years after the start of the eruption, new spatial planning criteria finally adopted failed to take into account the hazards associated with a volcano. This is the main conclusion of a research based on the study of the documentation generated during the spatial planning process in the Valle de Aridane, semi-structured interviews with key actors in the process and the analysis of the local media. It also shows that the original idea of restricting settlement in the areas of greatest volcanic risk and reducing the dispersion of the population was abandoned after a change in the regional government. The dominant neo-liberal urbanism approach among new policy makers and their electioneering, coupled with the prevailing short-term vision of those locals who lost their properties, have led to serious failures in the governance of post-disaster volcanic risk. This perpetuates the vulnerability of future generations of local society to further eruptions. The case study therefore confirms how, once again, social, economic and political factors are highly relevant to understanding the magnitude of catastrophes associated with extreme natural events.

[ES] La erupción de 2021 en La Palma demostró que la inexistencia de una cultura del riesgo volcánico había impedido practicar una ordenación del territorio capaz de reducir la vulnerabilidad y, por tanto, minimizar los efectos de la catástrofe. Las graves consecuencias de la erupción abrieron una ventana de oportunidad para consolidar un cambio en la percepción del riesgo volcánico que permitiera no solo reorganizar el poblamiento disperso dominante sino reubicarlo en zonas de menor peligrosidad. La necesidad de elaborar una legislación territorial específica para abordar la recuperación y reconstrucción del Valle de Aridane proporcionaba el contexto idóneo para ello. Sin embargo, trascurridos más de dos años desde el inicio de la erupción, las medidas adoptadas olvidan por completo los peligros volcánicos existentes, espolean el poblamiento disperso preexistente y se alinean claramente con los principios ideológicos de la planificación urbana neoliberal. [EN] The 2021 eruption on La Palma demonstrated that the lack of a volcanic risk culture, had prevented the practice of land-use planning capable of reducing vulnerability and thus minimising the effects of the catastrophe. The serious consequences of the eruption opened a window of opportunity to create a change in the perception of volcanic risk, not only to reorganize the dominant dispersed population but also to relocate it to less dangerous areas. The need to draw up specific land use legislation to address the recovery and reconstruction of the Valle de Aridane provided the ideal conditions for this task. However, more than two years after the beginning of the eruption, the land and urban planning measures adopted completely ignore the existing volcanic hazards, encourage the pre-existing dispersed settlement and are clearly aligned with the ideological principles of neo-liberal urban planning.

[ES] Las consecuencias socioeconómicas de la erupción volcánica que arrasó parte del Valle de Aridane (La Palma) en 2021 han propiciado un contexto favorable para consolidar un relato que considera un intenso y acelerado desarrollo turístico de La Palma como única alternativa económica viable para el futuro de la isla. Aunque el discurso no es novedoso, la amplia convergencia de actores políticos y empresariales que lo avalan lleva a pensar que se trata del intento más sólido de revertir la tradicional estructura productiva de la isla, dominada por el cultivo del plátano y un modelo de desarrollo turístico que se aleja de los patrones dominantes en Canarias. El artículo analiza la planificación territorial del turismo en La Palma desde 1990, demostrando el papel que ha tenido en su evolución el tránsito desde planteamientos reguladores de corte keynesiano a otros claramente deudores de los principios neoliberales. También pone de manifiesto la vigencia de los postulados de desarrollo turístico formulados en 1971 para comprender el modelo territorial al que aspiran los actores mencionados, quienes instrumentalizan el ciclo de crisis que culmina con la erupción volcánica de 2021 para construir una narrativa justificadora de su modelo. [EN] The socio-economic consequences of the volcanic eruption that destroyed part of the Valle de Aridane (La Palma, Canary Islands) in 2021 have provided a favourable context for strengthening a narrative that sees an intense and accelerated tourist development of La Palma as the only viable economic option for the island's future. Although the discourse is not new, the wide convergence of political and business actors that endorse it leads one to believe that it is the most solid attempt to reverse the traditional productive structure of the island. It is dominated by banana cultivation and a model of tourism development that is far away from the dominant patterns in the Canary Islands. In this paper, we analyze the territorial planning of tourism in La Palma since 1990, demonstrating the role played in its evolution by the transition from Keynesian-style regulatory approaches to others clearly indebted to neo-liberal principles. It also shows the validity of the postulates of tourism development formulated in 1971 to understand the territorial model aspired to by the aforementioned actors, who use the crisis cycle culminating in the volcanic eruption of 2021 to construct a narrative that justifies their model.
