La danza y la fotografía: una temática en auge en las redes sociales

Dance and photography have always been related, but the impact that these photographs have on social networks and in the personal evolution of the future dancers, is an unknown world.In particular, Instagram is a very dynamic and easy to use social network. In Instagram, there are accounts with very good repository of dance (photography and video) and it is possible to spread and/or share information with other schools of dance very quickly. But the most important feature of Instagram is that with a good use, people meet dancers, and it is a good way to revive the importance of dance in society. But it cannot be forgotten that for an aspiring dancer, photography/video is an educational tool to improve and grow and to value the evolution over time.

The photography is the tool of a co-creation project between the photographer and the future dancer, growing in harmony with their skills.; Danza y fotografía siempre han estado relacionadas entre sí, pero el impacto que tienen estas fotografías en las redes sociales y en los futuros bailarines es un mundo desconocido. En particular, Instagram es una red social muy dinámica y de fácil manejo, que cuenta con cuentas que son un buen repositorio de danza, (fotografía y video), siendo un medio rápido de difundir un anuncio o compartir información con otras escuelas. Pero hay algo más, Instagram es una red social para darse a conocer, y tal vez lo más importante es que es un buen medio para hacer renacer la importancia que tiene la danza en la sociedad. Pero no hay que olvidar que para un aspirante a bailar, la fotografía/video es una herramienta educativa para mejorar y crecer y poder valorar como es el desarrollo y el aprendizaje a través del tiempo. En este proyecto, “Instagram”, es considerado como un repositorio de fotografía, elemento motivador e información de la danza a escala mundial, un complemento más, y la fotografía es la herramienta de este proyecto de co-creación entre el fotógrafo y futuro bailarín, que hace que ambos crezcan en armonía con sus cualidades

Environment understanding, signage perception and safety education in Biscay beachgoers under the view of lifeguards

Publisher Copyright: © 2020 Elsevier LtdIn Biscay beaches, the Biscay Regional Council (BRC) is in charge of looking after the safety of beachgoers. Its aim is to reduce drownings and accidents to zero. Lifeguard services during the summer seasons should be enough to reach this target. But not everything depends on them. There is another key factor to consider: beach users and the extent to which they obey the rules for bathing. Beach users carry out different activities in the surf area, which increases the hazards and the disputes between them. Proactive action such as warning signage and environment education are useful tools to increase beachgoers awareness of the potential risks and how to avoid them. The motivation for this study is to analyze beachgoers’ environmental understanding, their signage perception and their behavior and safety education, from the point of view of the lifeguards. Methodology is based on a main survey for lifeguards and a secondary survey for users. The analysis of the results shows the need for a common safety educational plan and a standardized flag and signage plan supported by the Spanish Authorities.Survey results are included in the 2016–2018 data for the waves-beach impact research within the Project MAREA POCTEFA 2014-2020 . The project total cost sums up EUR 1,545,035 and part of this cost is financed by the INTERREG program .Peer reviewe

Beach management policy analysis concerning safety flag systems in Northern Spain

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 Elsevier LtdThe aim of this paper is to analyse the meaning of beach safety flags and their management along the Northern Spanish coast. There are more than 1000 small beaches, which are often in high demand by tourism during the summer season. To carry out the research, most of main beaches have been visited to observe and analyse the meaning of all the safety flags and their correct use depending on the oceanographic and meteorological conditions. The influence of the beach safety management and regulations on the use of beach safety signage has been also analysed. The results show that safety flag systems differ even between very close beaches where safety management is in the hands of different local governments. Outdated and local legal framework and the absence of an agreed system between the different organizations that provide lifeguarding services seem to be behind this lack of uniformity. A specific guide for beach safety flags and signage within a national safety beach plan agreed by all the autonomic or provincial governments may be a solution.Diputación Foral de Bizkaia , Spain (Biscay Regional Council Office) has funded this research under grant no PT10372 .Peer reviewe
