    La sierra de Cartagena-La Unión (Murcia): un ejemplo de actividad turística a través del patrimonio minero
    (2015-10-06) Morales Yago, Francisco José
    The final cessation in 1991 of mining in the Sierra de Cartagena-La Union Murcia region earned it the beginning of a major economic downturn has not answered until recent times, where the initiative for the enhancement of important mining-industrial legacy is now the basis for the creation of a tourism project complementary to traditional sun and beach located in La Manga del Mar Menor. The SWOT analysis included as the main methodology of this work will allow through the participation of different groups understand and analyze the present and the future prospects of this new activity that potentially represent a major change in the socio-economic activity of the region and therefore of its inhabitants.

    Valoración socioeconómica de la extracción de gas mediante fracturación hidráulica en la Región de Murcia
    (2015-10-06) Martínez-Paz, Jose M.; Pellicer-Martínez, Francisco; Fernández, José Ramón; Lamonaca, Luca
    Extraction of unconventional gas through hydraulic fracturing, the so-called "fracking", is a highly controversial debate, considering on the one hand economic benefits and on the other hand its environmental impacts, and risks for public health. Recently, relevant Policy makers approved applications to allow the exploration of gas resources that could be extracted through fracking in the North Murcia region, likewise in other parts of Spain. Such approvals caused the formation of local groups that oppose fracking. The main objective of this investigation is to explore the knowledge, public perception and social acceptability of the citizens of the Murcia Region upon this technique for energy generation. A survey has been developed to address such research objective, undertaking also a contingent valuation on the prohibition of implementation fracking in the region. Among others, the findings show that more than 2/3 of the survey respondents are in favour of the implementation of such technique provided that the environment and public health would be effectively safeguarded. Furthermore, it is estimated that each household, on average, would be willing to pay approximately 15 per year for their energy bill in order to prohibit or postpone the exploitation of unconventional gas through fracking in the region.

    El cultivo del viñedo como recurso turístico cultural: el caso de la Geria (Lanzarote. Islas Canarias, España)
    (2015-10-06) González Morales, Alejandro; Ramón Ojeda, Antonio Angel; Hernández Torres, Santiago
    La agricultura es un sector económico importante pero actualmente en regresión. El paisaje agrícola constituye un patrimonio que puede ser puesto en valor como recurso turístico, de manera que ambas actividades, agricultura y turismo, se verían mutuamente beneficiadas de esa relación. El presente trabajo aborda la evolución y situación actual del sector vitivinícola, su producción y sistemas de cultivo, distribución espacial y expectativas de futuro. Asimismo, se pone en relación el paisaje vitivinícola con la actividad turística y el uso que del primero se está llevando a cabo, y aún puede potenciarse, como atractivo en rutas y actividades de ocio para los visitantes de Lanzarote.
