Más de un centenar de trabajos académicos son presentados anualmente en las facultades españolas con el objetivo de obtener un título de Graduado en Turismo. Muchos de ellos, se mantienen inéditos, a pesar de la utilidad de los datos que recopilan, bien por aspectos formales o por la escasa envergadura que presentan en sí de manera aislada. En este trabajo, por tanto, se han recopilado y analizado los datos de una serie de estudios que han sido llevados a cabo por estudiantes de turismo, y cuyo objetivo era analizar la oferta y la demanda turística de zonas de baño de Extremadura con diferentes características: embalses, gargantas, balnearios y una antigua cantera. Todas ellas comparten fortalezas como la pertenencia a espacios protegidos y la cercanía a numerosos recursos turísticos pero se observan diferentes aprovechamientos en términos de oferta hotelera y de restauración. Respecto a la demanda, predomina el turismo nacional, con vínculos a las localidades cercanas y con una mayor concentración en los fines de semana. More than a hundred academic works are presented annually in Spanish faculties with the aim of obtaining a degree in Tourism. Many of them remain unpublished, despite the usefulness of their data, either because formal aspects or the limited size of their studies. In this work, we have collected and analyzed a sort of academic works in which tourist supply and demand of bathing areas of Extremadura (reservoirs, gorges and an old quarry) have been the core of the study. All of them share strengths such as belonging to protected areas and the proximity to numerous tourist resources but different uses are observed in terms of hotel and restaurant offer. Regarding demand, national tourism linked to nearby towns with a greater concentration on weekends is predominant.

Studies in remnants of semi-deciduous seasonal forest of the Cerrado are needed to fill sampling gaps and improve basic knowledge of biodiversity. This study presents data on the herpetofauna of Parque Estadual Altamiro de Moura Pacheco, one of the last protected areas of seasonal forest in the core region of the Brazilian Cerrado. Fourteen sites were sampled between March 2007 and April 2008 using pitfall traps and active searches. A total of 35 anuran species were recorded, most of which were found in hygrophilous environments near forest fragments, open areas and riparian or gallery forest. A total of 29 reptile species were recorded, most of which were found in semi-deciduous forest and riparian or gallery forest. Fourteen of the amphibians and five of the reptiles are endemic to the Cerrado. The richness of amphibians and reptiles found in Parque Estadual Altamiro de Moura Pacheco is regionally representative, with communities typical of forest environments.

Supply And Demand Model

This contribution takes a look back at the supply and demand model of selection and recruitment, developed by Joni Lovenduski and Pippa Norris in Political Recruitment: Gender, Race and Class in the British Parliament (1995). The core understanding of this model was that candidate selection was an interactive process in which both selectors and aspirants affected outcomes that were organized in several sets of institutions. The model illuminates power in particular institutions – British political parties – and was designed to examine the various effects of the selection process. This contribution reflects on the model and puts forward ideas and arguments about what might be done differently, taking into account the theoretical and methodological innovations of the succeeding generation of scholars who have used the model. It also identifies remaining challenges for research on candidate selection and suggests that the supply and demand model is sufficiently flexible that it can still travel across national, system and party boundaries.

Reliability And Availability

From afar, managing CSG water seems simple: capture it, treat it, and deliver it to someone who needs it. On closer inspection, however, it is difficult. CSG water production varies considerably across time and space and in both quality and quantity. This means that whatever the infrastructure is built for CSG water management, it will sometimes be the wrong size or specification or built in the wrong place. The complications do not end there—the most difficult question of all is often: what can be done all this water? Most water outlets available in CSG project areas are heavily influenced by a combination of climatic, environmental, and commercial variability. This effectively results in no easy set-and-forget water outlets. Predicting the reliability and availability of CSG water outlets is a significant challenge. CSG water management, therefore, involves risk and variability on both supply and demand, making it difficult to optimise investment in infrastructure and outlets. Importantly, it also impacts directly on the core objective of CSG operators: to reliably, predictably, and efficiently produce gas. This extended abstract explores how management of CSG water risk is being addressed in CSG projects being developed in Queensland. It also examines analytical methods and strategies for improving existing CSG water risk-management practices.

Land management focused from the social-ecological perspective of ecosystem services should consider cultural services in decision-making processes. Nature-based tourism offers a great potential for landscape conservation, local development and the well-being of human populations. However, the subjectivity of recreational ecosystem services has meant a clear impediment to assessing and mapping them. In this study, an integrated numerical spatial method is developed, which quantifies the supply and demand of recreational ecosystem services and allows mapping their spatial correspondence along a rural-urban gradient. The procedure also allows quantifying the influence of the landscape structure and the presence of protected areas on the degree of coupling between supply of recreational ecosystem services and demand for outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism and reveals that protected areas are hotspots of recreational ecosystem services. The results obtained highlight the usefulness of the methodological procedure developed as a tool for sustainable land planning and management from an integrative social-ecological approach.

Several countries, including Brazil, are making compelling case for historical progress towards achieving the targets for marine protection under the Convention on Biological Diversity. However, this can be done through the establishment of large marine protected areas (MPAs) in the open ocean, a conservation strategy that might be only tangential to the core ecological goal of MPA designation, i.e. biodiversity conservation. By using two newly-designated large MPAs in Brazil as an example, we outline three ways in which they indicate poor adherence to best practices in MPA planning: placing no-take MPAs in areas with limited potential for extractive uses, neglecting the need to account for spatial dependencies among areas to maintain populations over time, and the inadequacy of the MPAs to regulate fishing of mobile pelagic species.

Abstract The distribution of the American mink in the wild, originating either from accidental escapes or intentional releases from fur farms, was mapped for the first time in Greece, based on opportunistic data collected from 2010 to 2020. Greece is a key actor in Europe’s fur industry, with most mink farms operating in the northwest. Massive intentional releases by activists took place in the late 2000s, while accidental escapes regularly occur. Most mink were recorded in the Region of Western Macedonia, in NW Greece, within and around the core areas of fur farms, where feral populations became established. Animals were also found further south in the Regions of Thessaly (central Greece) and Central Macedonia (northern Greece). Half of mink records were close to protected areas and almost two-thirds near to watercourses. Many animals were away from the water and on high altitudes, with theoretically less favourable conditions for their survival. We also examine possible directions of further mink range expansion in Greece and neighbouring countries through the river network. Mink invasion progress in Greece is little known, thus, the subject is in urgent need of study, as mink is the alien mammal with the highest impact on the European native fauna.
