Design of a Support Tool to Improve Accessibility in Heritage Buildings—Application in Case Study for Public Use

The authors would like to thank the reviewers for their thoughtful comments and efforts towards improving our manuscript. This work was supported by the project PP2022.PP.27 belonging to the Research and Transfer Plan of the University of Granada, Research Group RNM 0179 of the Junta de Andalucia and the projects REMINE Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, WARMEST Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017, RRRMAKER H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange and Scientific Unit of excellence "Ciencia en la Alhambra", ref. UCE-PP2018-01, University of Granada).The existing literature shows the interest in the study of accessibility within heritage architecture, particularly in the context of repurposing these structures to extend their lifespan. Published examples primarily focus on barrier identification or intervention within specific buildings, without the development of methods that facilitate their widespread application for barrier removal. The proposed methodology entails the division of the building into analytical zones, the identification of existing barriers, the proposal of feasible solutions, and the establishment of various action plans based on the building’s priorities. The results reveal a significant percentage of removable architectural barriers within the analysed buildings, all in harmony with the preservation of the heritage. Among the conclusions, it is noteworthy that the method’s applicability extends to heritage and non-heritage buildings of varying uses and typologies, showcasing the substantial accessibility potential within heritage architecture.Research and Transfer Plan of the University of Granada PP2022.PP.27Junta de Andalucía RNM 0179Project REMINE Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie ActionsProject WARMEST Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017Project RRRMAKER H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange and Scientific Unit of excellence "Ciencia en la Alhambra") UCE-PP2018-01University of Granad

Project portfolio selection for increasing sustainability in supply chains

[EN] Sustainability practices impact on the competitiveness of organizations. Enterprises need approaches that both support the implementation of these practices by helping to define the strategic elements of sustainable supply chains and prioritize projects to increase profitability. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach using the Analytic Hierarchy Process that supports the portfolio project decision by aligning the project selection process to the strategic objectives of a supply chain that pursue sustainability. This approach will benefit enterprises to prioritize projects that have the highest impact on the sustainability strategy of the supply chain over time. The approach has been applied to an Agri-food supply chain.Authors of this publication acknowledge the contribution of the Project GV/2017/065 "Development of a decision support tool for the management and improvement of sustainability in supply chains" funded by the Regional Government of Valencia.Verdecho Sáez, MJ.; Pérez Perales, D.; Alarcón Valero, F.

An Analysis of the Cost of Water Supply Linked to the Tourism Industry. An Application to the Case of the Island of Ibiza in Spain

[EN] Tourist activity has a number of impacts on the destinations in which it takes place, among which are the environmental ones. A particular problem is the increase in water demand and wastewater production, which can compromise the balance of ecosystems. As many authors point out, there is a research gap in the comparative analysis between available water resources and the demand associated with tourism. In this respect, the main objective of this work is, on the one hand, to assess the water needs linked to the tourism industry and the capacity of natural resources to meet such a demand and, on the other hand, to estimate the economic cost of the water supply associated with the growing tourist demand in a territory, such as the island of Ibiza in Spain. It has been determined that the resources available are not sufficient to meet the water demand of the resident population at this destination, which is why it is necessary to resort to producing desalinated water. Therefore, the additional requirements associated with tourism must be met fully with desalinated water, which results in an increased cost of water management for the region. This paper also points at water losses in distribution networks and tourism seasonality as two phenomena that aggravate this issue.González-Pérez, DM.; Martín-Martín, JM.; Guaita Martínez, JM.; Sáez-Fernández, FJ.

Using Machine-Learning Algorithms for Eutrophication Modeling: Case Study of Mar Menor Lagoon (Spain)

[EN] The Mar Menor is a hypersaline coastal lagoon with high environmental value and a characteristic example of a highly anthropized hydro-ecosystem located in the southeast of Spain. An unprecedented eutrophication crisis in 2016 and 2019 with abrupt changes in the quality of its waters caused a great social alarm. Understanding and modeling the level of a eutrophication indicator, such as chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), benefits the management of this complex system. In this study, we investigate the potential machine learning (ML) methods to predict the level of Chl-a. Particularly, Multilayer Neural Networks (MLNNs) and Support Vector Regressions (SVRs) are evaluated using as a target dataset information of up to nine different water quality parameters. The most relevant input combinations were extracted using wrapper feature selection methods which simplified the structure of the model, resulting in a more accurate and efficient procedure. Although the performance in the validation phase showed that SVR models obtained better results than MLNNs, experimental results indicated that both ML algorithms provide satisfactory results in the prediction of Chl-a concentration, reaching up to 0.7 R-CV(2) (cross-validated coefficient of determination) for the best-fit models.This research was partially funded by the Fundacion Seneca del Centro de Coordinacion de la Investigacion de la Region de Murcia under Project 20813/PI/18, and by Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities under grants RTI2018-096384-B-I00 and RTC-2017-6389-5.Jimeno-Sáez, P.; Senent-Aparicio, J.; Cecilia-Canales, JM.; Pérez-Sánchez, J.

Biodegradable Chitosan-Derived Thioureas as Recoverable Supported Organocatalysts – Application to the Stereoselective Aza-Henry Reaction

Producción CientíficaEight different biodegradable chitosan-supported bifunctional chiral thioureas have been prepared as a greener and more sustainable alternative to those supported on petrochemical-derived polymers. These organocatalysts promoted an enantioselective aza-Henry reaction, which afforded good product yields with moderate to high enantioselectivity. The activity and stereodirecting ability of these materials were dependent on the accessibility of the reactants to the active site and increased with the length of the tether that connected the thiourea to the biopolymer. The best performing catalyst was able to be recovered and recycled five times without a loss of activity.2018-10-10Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (Project CTQ 2014-59870-P

A methodology to select suppliers to increase sustainability within supply chains

[EN] Sustainability practice within supply chains remains in an early development phase. Enterprises still need tools that support the integration of sustainability strategy into their activity, and to align their sustainability strategy with the supplier selection process. This paper proposes a methodology using a multi-criteria technique to support supplier selection decisions by taking two groups of inputs that integrate sustainability performance: supply chain performance and supplier assessment criteria. With the proposed methodology, organisations will have a tool to select suppliers based on their development towards sustainability and on their alignment with the supply chain strategy towards sustainability. The methodology is applied to an agri-food supply chain to assess sustainability in the supplier selection process.The authors of this publication acknowledge the contribution of Project GV/2017/065 'Development of a decision support tool for the management and improvement of sustainability in supply chains', funded by the Regional Valencian Government.
