Chapter 10 - Decentralised management strategies for heritage in rural areas

Producción CientíficaBeyond the different conceptualisations that can be made of heritage or heritage resources, there is a widespread idea of its value in development strategies. This value is even more important, at least in relative terms, when the analysis focuses on rural spaces. This is due to the difficulties in setting up positive dynamics for socio-economic development and in the notion of territorial heritage, as this increases its value due to scarcity and social valuation (Ortega, 1998). However, as shall be seen in this chapter, there is a distance between the theoretical meaning of heritage resources in local development strategies and the practical application. This is basically due to the existing complications in the management of the said resources in the rural setting. Thus, first of all, this work considers the problems that are habitually encountered in heritage enhancement processes in rural settings, with concrete examples from the autonomous region of Castile & Leon. On the basis of this analysis, some of the measures that have been carried out through public intervention to enhance the said heritage resources will be considered, stressing the possibilities that arise with regard to the theoretical and practical definitions of the territorial systems of heritage value, a notion that appears in the Plan PAHIS 2020, but which is also found, with slight differences, in other heritage valuation strategies in Spain. Finally, a pilot initiative is evaluated that has been set up in Castile & Leon, within the framework of the Plan PAHIS 2020, called the Plan Mudejar, to value the Mudejar heritage over a wide area of the autonomous region. This plan take steps towards a more decentralised management, in which greater weight is given to the local actors in the design and execution of the heritage valuation initiatives. On the basis of a cursory diagnosis of the value of the Mudejar in the area under study, the objectives of the Plan Mudejar are evaluated and its potential and limitations in valuing these resources in their rural sphere of reference are explained.This activities are included in the objectives and results of the Research Project CSO2013-47205-P «Culture and heritage as territorial resources: sustainable development strategies and spatial impacts», from the State Programme to Encourage Scientific Technical Research of Excellence, Sub-programme of the Generation of Knowledge from the Ministry of Economy & Competitiveness, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

Numancia: usos y abusos de la tradición historiográfica

Estudio tecnológico de los yacimientos olduvayenses de Omo (sur de Etiopía)

Los conjuntos arqueológicos de Omo, en el sur de Etiopía, están datados alrededor de 2, 3 ma. Su gran antigüedad los ha convertido en un referente en la bibliografía sobre las capacidades tecnológicas de los primeros seres humanos. En este trabajo se presenta una revisión de las industrias de Omo depositadas en el Museo Nacional de Addis Ababa (Etiopía), realizando un estudio tecnológico de las colecciones allí conservadas. Según la presente revisión, la industria de Omo refleja unas habilidades técnicas muy superiores a lo que se había propuesto anteriormente, y lleva a reflexionar sobre las capacidades tecnológicas de los homínidos del Plioceno.The Omo archaeological sites, in southern Ethiopia, are dated to 2, 3 million years ago. Because of their early dates, the Omo industries have been a reference in the literature about the first technological skills of early humans. In this work, a technological review of the Omo industries stored at the National Museum of Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) is presented. Following the current review, the Omo industry shows higher technical skills than previously thought, allowing to reflect about the technological abilities of Pliocene hominids

Estrategias territoriales ante la crisis: cultura del territorio y calidad institucional

El Paleolítico medio en el Próximo Oriente. Una síntesis regional

En este trabajo se resume la evidencia arqueológica del Paleolítico medio en el Próximo Oriente, que abarca parte del Pleistoceno medio y los primeros momentos del Pleistoceno superior. Se tratan los yacimientos, las cronologías y las facies industriales más importantes del área desde una perspectiva regional, compartimentando el registro en función de tres zonas ecológicas distintas, el área mediterránea, la zona continental y la región montañosa.The archaeological evidence from the Middle Paleolithic in the Near East is summed up in this work. It is embodied in the Late Middle Pleistocene and the Early Upper Pleistocene. We present a summary of the main sites, the chronologies and the most important lithic facies from a regional perspective. We divided the archaeological record according to three different ecological regions: the mediterranean zone, the continental zone and the mountain zone

Teoría de juegos conductual y psicológica: una revisión sistemática

thanks to the game theory we have a better understanding of human behavior in the economy. However, since this theory excludes thepsychological aspect from conduct, a revision of the rationality assumption completes the missed information in some games. As a consequence,some approaches have emerged including behavioral and psychological aspects in games. This has generated a large amount of literature distributedin apparently independent lines of research, a fact that could generate confusion. To clarify whether behavioral game theory and psychological game theory are independent approaches, a systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines to identify all empirical studies published under both names. Papers that (1) had psychological variables, (2) were peer-reviewed, and (3) had any experimental design were collected. From 492 papers searched, 67 were included in this systematic review. They were organized and studied to determine what type of psychologicalvariables they included and whether there are really two different approaches. The most common term used is behavioral game theory in which variables like guilt, trust, motivation, and reciprocity are widely used. The main conclusion is that the two approaches are really the same and itis the followers of the main authors of each current who publish under one or the other name.gracias a la teoría de los juegos tenemos una mejor comprensión del comportamiento humano en la economía. Sin embargo, comoesta teoría excluye el aspecto psicológico de la conducta, una revisión del supuesto de racionalidad completa la información perdida en algunos juegos. Como consecuencia, han surgido algunos enfoques que incluyen aspectos conductuales y psicológicos en los juegos. Esto ha generado una gran cantidad de literatura distribuida en líneas de investigación aparentemente independientes, hecho que puede generar confusión. Paraaclarar si la teoría de juegos conductual y psicológica son enfoques independientes, se realizó una revisión sistemática utilizando las directricesPRISMA para identificar todos los estudios empíricos publicados bajo ambas denominaciones. Se recogieron trabajos que (1) tuvieran variablespsicológicas, (2) estuvieran revisados por pares y (3) tuvieran algún diseño experimental. De los 492 trabajos buscados, 67 se incluyeron enesta revisión sistemática. Se organizarwon y estudiaron para determinar qué tipo de variables psicológicas incluían y si realmente existen dos enfoques diferentes o no. El término más utilizado es la teoría del juego conductual, en la que se utilizan ampliamente variables como la culpa,la confianza, la motivación y la reciprocidad. La principal conclusión es que los dos enfoques son realmente el mismo y son los seguidores delos principales autores de cada corriente los que publican bajo uno u otro nombre
