Evolución histórica de la morfología urbana en los altiplanos nororientales de la provincia de Granada

Para conocer la esencia y la identidad de los diferentes asentamientos urbanos, los patrones morfológicos son tan importantes como los económicos, sociales, políticos y culturales. Por ese motivo, a continuación se va a analizar la evolución histórica de los asentamientos de las comarcas de Baza y Huéscar, desde sus orígenes, sus sucesivas transformaciones, e identificando y diseccionando sus variados componentes. El particular devenir histórico, los condicionantes del medio natural, y las determinadas formas de vida, en esta zona, han quedado plasmadas en la morfología urbana de sus pueblos y ciudades. Es decir, el solapamiento en asentamientos de diversas culturas y usos etnográficos ha generado diversas morfologías y paisajes construidos, de gran valor identitario, ambiental e histórico. Pero la globalización ignora la cultura local, el paisaje urbano, transformando en confuso a este último, por lo que es preciso una valoración social y un planeamiento urbano adecuado para su preservación en el tiempo.To know the essence and the identity of the different urban settlements, morphological patterns are so important as the financial ones, social, politicians and cultural. For that reason, we have to analyze the historical evolution of the regions’ settlements of Baza and Huéscar, from its origin, successive transformations, and identifying and dissecting its varied ingredients. The particular history, natural factors, and determined forms of life, in this zone, have been reflected in the urban morphology of his villages and cities. That is, the overlap in settlements of several cultures and ethnographical uses has generated several morphologies and built landscapes, of great value environmental and historic. But the globalization ignores the local culture, the cityscape, transforming in confusing to this last one, which is why is precise a social assessment and a urban planification suitable for its preservation

Protected Natural Spaces, Agrarian Specialization and the Survival of Rural Territories: The Cases of Sierra Nevada (Spain) and Alta Murgia (Italy)

In Europe today, there is increasing interest in the management of protected spaces, not only in an attempt to ensure their conservation but also because of their enormous potential for promoting rural development. These protected spaces are generally designed from the top down, although, in an increasing number of cases, they are being promoted by rural communities themselves. The situation across Europe with regard to protected areas is extraordinarily complex due, among other reasons, to the variety of categories and types of protected areas at the regional level. The objective of this study was to compare two parks: the Sierra Nevada National and Natural Park in Andalusia, Spain, and the Alta Murgia National Park in Apulia, Italy, in order to identify any similarities and/or differences between them. To this end, we performed a dynamic analysis of the evolution of the crops, uses, and livestock species using a specific indicator that can detect local dynamics by comparing areas inside the parks with those in the immediate surrounding areas. The results pointed, in part, to a resurgence of these places. In both cases, a trend was observed towards more extensive farming of certain crops and livestock species that are more profitable and/or more highly regarded as quality products. In other cases, there was a risk of traditional crops and agricultural landscapes being abandoned and lost. Various threats were identified in relation to capital-intensive forms of agriculture, especially involving greenhouse cultivation on the Mediterranean coast in the provinces of Granada and Almeria.Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness, Research Project "Successes and failures in the practice of neo-endogenous rural development in the European Union (1991-2013), RURALWIN" CSO2017-89657-

El reparto territorial de los programas de desarrollo rural. El caso de la provincia de Granada

Not only Communitary initiatives Leader I and II but also Proder Program have shown to be beneficial for the areas in which they were developed, and the province of Granada is not an exception. Notwithstanding, their application also exhibits weak points such as concentration of aids in the most dynamic municipalities or the limited corrective role of social and territorial inequality that public inversion plays.Tanto la iniciativa comunitaria Leader I y II, como el Programa Proder, se han demostrado beneficiosos para las zonas en las que se han aplicado; la provincia de Granada no es una excepción. Ahora bien, su desarrollo también ofrece algunas sombras como son la concentración de las ayudas en los municipios más dinámicos o el escaso papel que juega la inversión pública como corrector de las desigualdades territoriales y sociales

The Relationship Between Social Capital and Geographical Indications. A Comparative Case Study of Prosciutto Veneto Berico Euganeo PDO (Italy) and Jamón de Trevélez PGI (Spain)

This study compares two EU quality-label schemes in Italy and Spain: Prosciutto Veneto Berico Euganeo PDO and Jamón de Trevélez PGI, respectively. It aims to demonstrate that social capital plays an important role in both establishing and managing geographical indications (GIs), and that obtaining this label reinforces existing networks, so boosting rural development. The research is based on semi-structured interviews with 7 key informants, the analysis of institutional information and legislation, and of statistical data on the socioeconomic structure of both geographical areas. The research reveals two quite different experiences in obtaining EU quality labels, regardless of the fact that the products, places and people involved in this process have various aspects in common. This study illustrates how the advantages resulting from these high-quality labels and their impact on rural development can vary in relation to the level of social capital and the strength of local networks

Identificación de recursos turísticos potenciales importantes por criterios de singularidad identitaria y universal. El municipio de Ugíjar en la Comarca de las Alpujarras

The promotion of rural areas is a key issue to fight against their depopulation. Currently there are deficiencies in the perception of the value of own resources in many of these territories. Situation due to factors such as lack of territorial culture, local deepening and research dissemination of those which may have certain singularities or aspects of interest at different scales. The safeguarding of territorial identity makes possible an evasion before the banalizing processes while conserving the patrimonial wealth.La promoción de las áreas rurales es una cuestión primordial para luchar contra su despoblamiento. Actualmente existen deficiencias en la percepción del valor de los recursos propios existentes en muchos de estos territorios. Situación debida a factores como la falta de cultura territorial, profundización local y difusión investigadora de aquellos que pudieran poseer ciertas singularidades o aspectos de interés a diferentes escalas. La salvaguardia de la identidad territorial posibilita una evasión ante los procesos banalizadores conservando a su vez la riqueza patrimonial

Who Decides and Who Invests? The Role of the Public, Private and Third Sectors in Rural Development according to Geographical Contexts: The LEADER Approach in Andalusia, 2007–2015

This study was carried out as part of the research project entitled "Successes and failures in the practice of neo-endogenous rural development in the European Union (1991-2014)" funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness within its Excellence Programme, CSO2017-89657-P. Additionally, this research is part of the project "El vaciamiento del campo andaluz. Practicas y propuestas para ocuparlo", funded by the Andalusian Regional Government, concretely the Centre of Andalusian Studies, PRY112/19. Finally, the publication of this work has been funded by the European Union project "Education, Agriculture and Resources for Territories and Heritage", 598839-EPP-1-2018-1-IT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP (2018-2022).In general, the LEADER programme has had a positive impact, although it has also negative aspects. In this paper, we analyse the role of the three main stakeholders (public sector, private sector and third sector) within the LEADER local action groups (LAGs) in the decision-making process and final execution of the projects, to discover whether there is any relation between those taking the decisions and those carrying out the projects, according to the degree of rurality of the different areas. Our primary source was the files for all the successfully implemented LEADER projects in Andalusia between 2007 and 2015. Relevant findings are: although the public sector plays a leading role in the LAGs and in the decision-making process, most of the projects, as measured by total investment, are carried out by the private sector; the degree of rurality is an important factor, in that private sector investors tend to invest in peri-urban spaces, while public bodies, and especially local councils, invest in remote rural areas. The LAGs play a strategic role, in terms of making up for the almost negligible input from the third sector.Spanish Government CSO2017-89657-PAndalusian Regional Government PRY112/19European Commission 598839-EPP-1-2018-1-IT-EPPKA2-CBHE-J

Evolución histórica de la morfología urbana en los altiplanos nororientales de la provincia de Granada

Arquitectura tradicional y paisaje urbano en la Accitania

La peculiaridad de su evolución histórica, unida a los condicionantes del medio natural, y a unas específicas formas de vida en la comarca accitana, en el sureste de la península ibérica, han quedado reflejadas en la morfología urbana y en singulares elementos arquitectónicos presentes en sus pueblos y ciudades. El solapamiento en asentamientos de sucesivas culturas, la utilización de materiales de construcción condicionados por el medio natural y los usos etnográficos, han generado en la comarca patrimonio arquitectónico, sistemas culturales y paisajes construidos de gran valor ambiental, histórico y etnográfico, y con un gran potencial cultural y turístico. En el presente artículo se hace una descripción sistematizada de las características morfológicas de la trama urbana en los núcleos de la comarca, relacionándola con los distintos periodos históricos, resaltando en la noción de patrimonio su dimensión popular, etnológica y antropológica.The peculiarity of its historical evolution, the constraints of the natural environment, and the specific lifestyles in the district of Guadix—locally known as Accitania—, in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, are reflected in the urban morphology and the unique architectural elements present in its towns and cities. The overlapping of settlements from successive cultures, the use of construction materials conditioned by the natural environment, and the ethnographic uses have created cultural systems, an architectural heritage, and built landscapes of high environmental, historic and ethnographic value with enormous cultural and tourist potential. The purpose of this article is to systematically describe the morphological features of the urban layout in the centres of the region, relating it to the different historical periods and highlighting the popular,ethnological and anthropological aspects in the notion of heritage.Departamento de Mecánica de Estructuras e Ingeniería Hidráulica.
