Movilidad interior de los estudiantes universitarios españoles (2001-2015): una lectura geográfica

The mobility flows of university students between Spanish Autonomous Communities have been scarcely tackled in the geographical research. This article try to fill this gap, adding the issue of student mobility to that of residential variations linked to labour market, family and leisure. Therefore it incorporates the study of another geographical mobilities exposing the attractiveness or rejection capacity of certain spaces thanks to the data on tertiary students from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and youth population from the National Statistics Institute. The most significant finds demonstrate the trend to a slight increase of student mobility in the recent years and a territorial logic not coincidental with the main directions of the residential migrations. In any case, it reveals an unequal strength to attract and emit flows of students in the years under examination and an unaltered process despite the foundation of new universities.Los flujos de movilidad de estudiantes universitarios entre Comunidades Autónomas españolas han sido escasamente tratados en la investigación geográfica. Este artículo intenta llenar este vacío, sumándose a la que aborda otro tipo de variaciones residenciales vinculadas al mercado de trabajo, la familia o el ocio. De esta forma, incorpora el estudio de otras movilidades geográficas que revelan la capacidad de atracción o repulsión de ciertos territorios gracias a los datos sobre estudiantes universitarios del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte y sobre población joven del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Los hallazgos más significativos del estudio demuestran una tendencia al incremento ligero de la movilidad estudiantil en los últimos años y una lógica territorial no coincidente con la de las migraciones residenciales. Por tanto, desvela una fuerza desigual de atracción y de emisión de flujos de estudiantes en los últimos años, e inalterada a pesar de la creación de nuevas universidades

El modelo turistico de canarias

The development of mass tourism in the Canary Islands started in middle of the 20th century, at the beginning of the 60’s. The adopted model was contemporary and very similar to the model of other coastal areas of the Spanish State, which were affected by an intense urbanization process. Nowadays, the profile of the tourism that visits us shows the preference of Centre-European citizens for this destiny, predominately German and British. As regards the tourist offer, the tour-operators policy, the environmental and patrimonial factors, as well as the institutional and managerial support have been definitive. That’s why this sector has become the motor of the archipelago’s economy
