Regionalism in the Salted Codfish Market in Spain

Spain has become a larger importer of salted codfish due to the drop of its own national production throughout the last decades. Since then, international players in the Spanish salted codfish market have been introducing their salted codfish in order to buy up the Spanish market, with good marketing strategies aimed at changing the traditional idea of salted fish quality. On the demand side, Spain is not a homogeneous market. The different behaviour of the main consumer regions modulates important aspects of domestic consumption, creating a mosaic of smaller markets. This mosaic is enhanced by the presence of regional and local producers, deeply linked with their consumers.

LA ESPECIALIZACIÓN DEL SECTOR MINORISTA DE ALIMENTACIÓN EN DORTMUND (ALEMANIA)

Urban retail activities have experimented dramatic changes along the last decades. They are due to the modernization of retail companies and the new habits of consumption and use of the territory. Traditional grocery shops have been more severely damaged, although there is a new trend linked with the retail specialisation. This specialisation offers new perspectives to traditional shops. Furthermore, it can help the renovation of degradated central urban spaces which have suffered the competition against the consolidated commercial High Street and suburban shopping areas.

Los espacios del lujo: el caso de estudio de Goethestrasse en Frankfurt

The spatial representation of luxury fashion shops in the city is very low, since there are few shops dedicated to this market and they are smaller, in terms of space, than other fashion outlets. Usually, these shops are clustered along a street or small shopping area with a very wide hinterland. By carrying out a fieldwork in the Goethestrasse, the most luxurious fashion street of Frankfurt (Germany), we have made an empirical study about the strategies of location and strategies of location including an analysis of the offer and demand.

LOS CENTROS COMERCIALES. ESPACIOS POSTMODERNOS DE OCIO Y CONSUMO. Luis Alfonso Escudero Gómez. Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, Cuenca 2008.

De entre los nuevos espacios creados por la aceleracion de la cultura postmodernista en la ciudad, el centro comercial es uno de los que mejor encarna la nueva filosofia de vida, consumo y de la relacion que los ciudadanos tienen con sus semejantes y su territorio. La habil conjugacion de espacios comerciales con el ocio en entornos bien planificados y gestionados ha promovido que los centros comerciales se hayan convertido en una de las formulas comerciales que gozan de mas exito en el imaginario comercial no solo de los paises occidentales, sino de un numero creciente de paises de economias en desarrollo.
