Turismo y parques naturales en Andalucía tras veinte años desde su declaración. Análisis estadístico, tipología de parques y problemática de la situación actual

The article presents two main aims. On the one hand, to analyze by means of the objective and measurable existing indicators the evolution of the tourist activity in the andalusian nature parks from their declaration, now twenty years ago.On the other hand, to clarify from statistical information the features that characterize the tourist current situation of the above mentioned parks, showing their principal problems. For all this a classification by types of parks is made and the principle that the tourist utilization of the parks must be based, so much for reasons of sustainability as of competitiveness, in activities narrowly linked to the singularity of their natural capital is defended.

La difícil convivencia entre paisaje urbano y turismo: clasificación de conflictos y propuestas de regulación a partir del análisis comparativo de normativas locales

This paper addresses the interrelationship between urban landscape and tourism activity, given the latter’s rapid increase in Spanish historic centres. The approach taken focuses on how local regulations deal with conflicts arising in that interrelationship. The main aims are: a) to identify conflicts stemming from the dialectic between tourism activity and urban landscape, and propose a classification of same; and b) to review regulations approved in that respect and based on them explore proposed type regulations on the question – in both cases with special attention to historic centres. The methodology used was comparative analysis of local regulations approved in Spanish 12 and foreign 3 cities of particular significance owing to the quality of their heritage and the level of tourism visits.

Actividad, empleo y paro turístico en las regiones españolas (1991-1995)

This article seeks an initial approach to analyzing the Tourist Industry labour market and its spacial and socioeconomic significance at a state as well as at a regional level. First of all, concepts and methodology are expounded. Secondly, it is proved that the tourist sector, especially the hotel trade, has had a clearly positive behaviour at the two named scales, because of the steady situation and the expansion of employment between 1991 and 1995. In spite of these quantitative data, there are also some negative factors to be worried about wich are the increase of the temporary work, a veiled decrease of the proffesional training of workers and the high quantity of seasonal work in several regions. Anyway, the article examines the spacial diferences, at a regional scale, of the spanish Tourist Industry, looked from the labour market perspective.
