TOURIST PLACE AND USED TERRITORY: theoretical contributions of the Tourism study from the Geography of Milton SantosLUGAR TURÍSTICO Y TERRITORIO USADO: contribuciones teóricas al estudio del Turismo a partir de la Geografía de Milton SantosRESUMOA Geografia do turismo não constitui em si mesma uma nova ciência geográfica, mas sim, uma forma de abordar o turismo pelo viés geográfico. O objetivo deste ensaio é apresentar uma proposta de abordagem do fenômeno do turismo a partir da Geografia Nova, de Milton Santos, utilizando seu arcabouço teórico para apreender o processo de produção do espaço geográfico pelo turismo, acrescentando ao diálogo outros autores e perspectivas e incluindo ao debate o conceito de Lugar Turístico como ferramenta para identificar o turismo no espaço geográfico e a categoria analítica do território usado como meio para operacionalizar a geografia miltoniana na apreensão do turismo no lugar. Na primeira parte deste ensaio discutimos o conceito de espaço geográfico e suas características ontológicas dentro da perspectiva da geografia de Milton Santos, sublinhando a categoria analítica do território usado. Na segunda parte incluímos o conceito de lugar turístico como fio condutor na identificação do turismo pela geografia. Na última parte apontamos elementos metodológicos para a realização de estudos sobre o turismo no espaço geográfico dentro da perspectiva apresentada neste ensaio. O lugar turístico é o conceito geográfico que permite identificar a materialização do turismo no espaço geográfico e o território usado a categoria analítica que permite apreender turismo no espaço. A análise geográfica do turismo deve levar em consideração as relações contraditórias entre os agentes que atuam na produção do lugar turístico que desvelam uma realidade complexa nos territórios onde há sua presença.Palavras-chave: Turismo; Território Usado; Lugar Turístico.ABSTRACTThe geography of tourism is not in itself a new geographical science, but rather a way of approaching tourism by geography. The objective of this paper is to present a proposal to approach the phenomenon of tourism from the Geografia Nova, by Milton Santos, using its theoretical framework to apprehend the process of production of geographical space by tourism, adding to the dialogue other authors and perspectives and including to the debate the concept of Tourist Place as a tool to identify tourism in the geographical space and the analytical category of the territory used as a means to operationalize the Miltonian geography in the apprehension of tourism in the place. In the first part of this paper we discuss the concept of geographic space and its ontological characteristics within the perspective of Milton Santos's geography, underlining the analytical category of the territory used. In the second part we include the concept of tourist place as a guiding principle in the identification of tourism by geography. In the last part we point out methodological elements for the study about tourism in the geographic space within the perspective presented in this paper. The tourist place is the geographical concept that allows to identify the materialization of the tourism in the geographical space and the territory used the analytical category that allows to seize tourism in the space. The geographic analysis of tourism must take into account the contradictory relations between the agents that act in the production of the tourist place that reveal a complex reality in the territories where it is present.Keywords: Tourism; Territory Used; Touristic Place.RESUMENLa geografía del turismo no constituye en sí misma una nueva ciencia geográfica, sino una forma de abordar el turismo por la geografía.

Research background: Through the cultural progress and socio-economic development in Poland women have obtained the same rights as men in the labour market. Nevertheless, they continuously face discrimination and the difficulty, resulting from their traditional role, in finding or maintaining employment. Purpose of the article: The main objective of this study was an analysis of female unemployment and its determinants in Poland in 2016 from the spatial perspective. The following research questions were also specified: Is female unemployment dependent on social factors (do they play the key role)? Are the factors determining the level of female unemployment spatially diversified? Is the GWR model an effective tool in analysis of female unemployment? Methods: The research applied GIS and spatial analysis methods including Geographically Weighted Regression, which enables the identification of the variability of regression coefficients in the geographical space. The analysis was carried out based on statistical data presenting the share of unemployed women in the working age population for 380 Polish districts (NUTS 4, LAU 1) in 2016. Findings & Value added: The research results showed that in the period 2003-2016 the female unemployment was getting lower, but it was still higher than men. It was also spatially diversified. Moreover, the determinants of female unemployment were diverse in the geographic space and did not have a significant impact on the variable in all spatial units. The existence of clusters of districts, characterised by similar interactions and its strength, was also confirmed. The results of this analysis proved that non-economic (social) factors largely affected the level of female unemployment in Poland in 2016. Using GWR enabled drawing detailed conclusions concerning the determinants of female unemployment in Poland, it proved to be an effective tool for the analysis of this phenomenon.

Academic spaces of Regional Dynamics and Semiotics and Aesthetic Thought, developed under the program of Bachelor in Elementary Education with Emphasis on Social Sciences of Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas and the Research Geopaideia Group, interested in providing valuable elements in the discussion around current forms as geographical space is revealed and taught in our societies and educational contexts, especially in a teacher training program, it makes a bid to create a space for dialogue, taking advantage of recent digital media and communication, with experts in concepts and diverse epistemologies about geographic space and its significance in the world of life: it is how it is possible to consolidate an encounter with the teacher - Yi Fu Tuan. This meeting was primarily a time to explore emotional responses and for personal, academic and research enrichment full of opportunities for talking to and from the knowledge of Professor Tuan, about space issues. The work of Professor Tuan, widely known to geographers, geography teachers and those interested in related issues has provided in recent decades valuable items for the understanding, study, research and experience of space from other possibilities in which the subject is a main character. The Group Geopaideia aims to provide references for reflection in order to transform the traditional conception of geography in school that locates it only as a science for the enumeration and description of the biophysical phenomena on Earth’s surface, being the geography neglected and marginalized as a task of just mechanical memorization of dates and locations forgetting its core of study which is the geographical and socio-cultural dimension.

Moralised markets are often referred to as ethical consumption markets. They are supposed to relieve a source of major distress in capitalist societies: the conflict between morality and economy. But under what conditions do these markets grow, and when do they stagnate? Deviating from the dominant focus on external constraints, this article emphasises the intrinsic ambivalence of moralised markets. Being caught between moral and economic exigencies becomes an obstacle for market growth. The article addresses ‘unravelling ambivalence’ on two levels. First, a field-theoretical framework is used to unravel the concept of ambivalence. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu, the article proposes introducing ambivalence as an analytical category in economic sociology. Second, a historic study based on correspondence analysis depicts the development of the German organic milk market. What distinguishes growth from stagnation is the degree of ambivalence within this market. Only if opposition is mitigated and ambivalence unravels into a more pluralistic field structure does the transition from niche to mass market become viable.

This paper extends Hyland’s (2005) theoretical framework of stance through the introduction of an additional analytic category of stance, neutral epistemic stance corresponding to Mushin’s (2001) factual epistemological stance. This article reviews various theoretical frameworks of stance and argues that none of these theoretical frameworks provide neutral linguistic markers of stance in academic writing. Using a corpus of twelve accounting PhD theses I conducted a textual analysis of different rhetorical sections between the theses, identifying what stance markers are used and why such stance markers are used and in what linguistic context such markers are used. This process led me to identify a new analytical category, neutral epistemic stance. This study contributes to the ongoing literature on stance in academic writing, arguing that unevaluated stance is also indicating taking up a neutral stance and can be understood as part of ‘doing objectivity’ in academic writing.

The paper focuses on the general problems of ethnic and linguistic contacts, and their impact on toponymic systems. To illustrate these, the author uses empirical evidence from medieval Hungarian charters originating from the Carpathian Basin, and touches upon some later language contacts in the same area. The guiding principle of the paper is provided by the topics included in the title. First, it discusses the notion of linguistic prestige and its interpretation with regard to toponyms and the linguistic situation of the medieval Carpathian Basin. The author showcases that linguistic prestige played a significant role both in toponym borrowing and toponym use, so as it influenced the practice of medieval charter writing. Secondly, the paper highlights some of the general theoretical considerations of name-giving and toponym use which are closely related to the issue at hand. These refer to the nature of relations between toponyms and culture, as well as toponyms and identity. Finally, it investigates the phenomenon of toponym borrowing and name integration, while outlining a possible model of toponomastic analysis in relation to the latter. This model provides both a descriptive (synchronic) and historical (diachronic) framework for studying toponym pairs of different languages at different stages of name integration. The author proposes a functional approach to this model through the analysis of Hungarian–German toponym pairs, but due to its universal categories, this theoretical framework is applicable to any two languages in contact and any historical periods.

The idea of a unifying theory of biodiversity linking the diverse array of macroecological patterns into a common theoretical framework is very appealing. We explore this idea to examine currently proposed unified theories of biodiversity (UTBs) and their predictions. Synthesizing the literature on the macroecological patterns of mammals, we critically evaluate the evidence to support these theories. We find general qualitative support for the UTBs' predictions within mammals, but rigorous testing is hampered by the types of data typically collected in studies of mammals. In particular, abundance is rarely estimated for entire mammalian communities or of individual species in multiple locations, reflecting the logistical challenges of studying wild mammal populations. By contrast, there are numerous macroecological patterns (especially allometric scaling relationships) that are extremely well characterized for mammals, but which fall outside the scope of current UTBs. We consider how these theories might be extended to explain mammalian biodiversity patterns more generally. Specifically, we suggest that UTBs need to incorporate the dimensions of geographical space, species' traits and time to reconcile theory with pattern.

As diversas formas de uso e ocupação do espaço geográfico têm provocado mudanças substanciais na paisagem, em detrimento ao desenvolvimento econômico. Neste sentido, o propósito desse estudo foi mapear e analisar os tipos de uso da terra existentes no município de Amarante, estado do Piauí. A área em análise está localizada na Microrregião do Médio Parnaíba piauiense, distando aproximadamente 160 km da capital Teresina, compreendendo uma área de 1.155,95 km². A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com base em técnicas de geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto. Para elaboração do mapa de uso e cobertura da terra foram utilizadas a imagem do satélite Landsat 8, sensor OLI, do ano de 2015. Após a aquisição da base matricial, as mesmas foram tratadas por meio de processamento digital de imagens, gerando o mapeamento de uso e cobertura da área. Foram mapeadas quatro tipologias em epígrafe, a saber: Área Antrópica Não-Agrícola (230,28 km²), Área Antrópica Agrícola (433,07 km²), Área de Vegetação Natural (441,86 km²) e Corpos D’água (50,73 km²). Diante deste mapeamento, constataram-se diferentes tipos de uso da terra, os quais acarretam modificações na paisagem. Desse modo, busca-se com essa pesquisa auxiliar as ações de gestão e planejamento por meio da análise dos tipos de uso da terra.Abstract:The different forms of use and occupation of geographical space have caused substantial changes in landscape, to the detriment of economic development.

The present study shows an alternative proposal of operation of the tourist system from the perspective of mechanics and their coordinated, harmonious, and routine interrelation between its parts. This study was carried out based on the tourism systems proposed by Roberto Boullón, Neil Leiper, and the World Tourism Organization. The problems that affected the development of tourism in a society was analyzed. It established a systemicmechanical model of four parts rector of the tourist system, real and potential demand, geographical space, and offers tourist system which are interrelated to each other. All have the same importance, different objectives, and the same purpose to satisfy fully the needs for transportation, lodging, food and recreation of the actual and potential tourist demand. This is achieved through the coordinated and effective functioning of the servers and/or entrepreneurs of the geographic space and the vehicle that the tourist offers. Subsequently, it would help to improve and streamline their tourism services and products by adapting them to their needs and trends. This is with the aim of returning them to their place of residence. The present article emphasizes the importance of observing the tourist system as the basic unit in the development of the tourist industry. It states that the lack of understanding of its operation is what has not allowed this industry to develop fully around the world.
