    Evolución de los patrones de asentamiento en época ibérica. Una propuesta de estudio del mundo ibérico murciano a través del análisis del poblamiento.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2008) López Mondéjar, Leticia
    Como han demostrado los últimos trabajos llevados a cabo en la línea de la arqueología del paisaje, el análisis del poblamiento y, de forma particular, de los distintos criterios que definen el patrón de asentamiento de los núcleos ibéricos ofrece nuevas perspectivas de aproximación a esta cultura. En éstas, los Sistemas de Información Geográfica constituirán una herramienta fundamental para abordar el análisis de muchos de esos aspectos. Además, este nuevo enfoque, desarrollado ya en otros ámbitos peninsulares, y que permite llevar a cabo un estudio global y diacrónico de dichos asentamientos, se revela aun de mayor interés en el ámbito regional murciano, donde apenas si contamos con estudios en esta línea.

    Vulnerability of transport networks to multi-scenario flooding and optimum location of Emergency Management Centers
    (MDPI, 2019-06-08) Pérez Morales, Alfredo; Gomariz Castillo, Francisco; Pardo Zaragoza, Pablo; Geografía
    Floods are the climatic factors that cause more significant impacts on transportation infrastructures. This circumstance could get worse, taking into account climate change effects. The literature points out different adaptation measures to minimize the possible increasing effects caused by climate change. Among them is the improvement of the vulnerability of a transport network and Emergency Management Systems. The effective management of emergencies is of vital importance to minimize the potential damage resulting from a catastrophe. Given such circumstances, analysis of the vulnerability of networks is a technique whose results highlight deficiencies and serve as support for future decisions concerning the transformation of the network or the installation of new emergency centers. The main objective of this research is to highlight the vulnerability of the road network in a variety of multi-contingency scenarios related to flooding and to identify the optimal location for a new emergency management center based on that analysis. The results obtained could be used in urban planning tasks to improve the resilience of urban areas in the face of an increase in flood episodes caused by climate change.
