El suelo industrial como factor de oportunidad y resiliencia en espacios mineros y rurales de León (España)

It is proposed to analyze with an economic geography and hypothetical-deductive method approach the scope of the public strategy of promotion of business areas in three regional areas of the province of León of rural and / or mining dominance: Órbigo, Montaña and El Bierzo, considering the challenges of the crisis unleashed in 2008 and the importance of industrial land in the resilience of these spaces. The hypothesis is that the development of industrial estates, that is, the offer of urbanized land for business activities, is a factor of resilience capable of generating opportunities in declining spaces and rural areas. The industrial land would be inductor of three positive effects: reinforce the competitive advantage of the territory in post-crisis situations, promote innovation through new business projects, and improve the expectations of local progress in terms of population and employment. The results obtained through the use of qualitative techniques, management of statistics and cartographic tools confirm the starting premise, but also reveal that the positive effects of industrial parks and business parks can be of low intensity and occur at an uneven pace.Se plantea analizar con un enfoque de geografía económica y método hipotético-deductivo el alcance de la estrategia pública de promoción de áreas empresariales en tres ámbitos comarcales de la provincia de León de dominancia rural y/o minera: Órbigo, Montaña y El Bierzo, considerando los desafíos de la crisis desencadenada en 2008 y la importancia del suelo industrial en la resiliencia de estos espacios. La hipótesis es que la oferta de suelo empresarial es un factor de resiliencia capaz de mejorar la capacidad de respuesta de espacios en declive y zonas rurales, ya que sería inductor de tres efectos positivos: reforzar la ventaja competitiva del territorio en coyunturas post-crisis, impulsar la innovación mediante proyectos empresariales de nuevo cuño, y mejorar las expectativas de progreso local. Los resultados obtenidos mediante técnicas cualitativas, uso de estadísticas y cartografía confirman la premisa de partida, pero también desvelan que los efectos positivos de los polígonos industriales y parques empresariales pueden ser de baja intensidad y producirse a ritmo desigual

Integrated graph measures reveal survival likelihood for buildings in wildfre events

Wildfre events have resulted in unprecedented social and economic losses worldwide in the last few years. Most studies on reducing wildfre risk to communities focused on modeling wildfre behavior in the wildland to aid in developing fuel reduction and fre suppression strategies. However, minimizing losses in communities and managing risk requires a holistic approach to understanding wildfre behavior that fully integrates the wildland’s characteristics and the built environment’s features. This complete integration is particularly critical for intermixed communities where the wildland and the built environment coalesce. Community-level wildfre behavior that captures the interaction between the wildland and the built environment, which is necessary for predicting structural damage, has not received sufcient attention. Predicting damage to the built environment is essential in understanding and developing fre mitigation strategies to make communities more resilient to wildfre events. In this study, we use integrated concepts from graph theory to establish a relative vulnerability metric capable of quantifying the survival likelihood of individual buildings within a wildfre-afected region. We test the framework by emulating the damage observed in the historic 2018 Camp Fire and the 2020 Glass Fire. We propose two formulations based on graph centralities to evaluate the vulnerability of buildings relative to each other. We then utilize the relative vulnerability values to determine the damage state of individual buildings. Based on a one-to-one comparison of the calculated and observed damages, the maximum predicted building survival accuracy for the two formulations ranged from 58 − 64% for the historical wildfres tested. From the results, we observe that the modifed random walk formulation can better identify nodes that lie at the extremes on the vulnerability scale. In contrast, the modifed degree formulation provides better predictions for nodes with mid-range vulnerability values
