The particular situation of the Canary Islands (an Autonomous Region of Spain), together with the particular conditions and mechanisms of low taxation and a privileged geo- graphical position of strategic importance, means that even today, this region, and Gran Canaria in particular, is in a position to offer and represent important opportunities to those who wish to establish themselves and invest (even to settle permanently) in this particular region within the con- text of the European Union.

Relaxation, health and well-being was in fact the first “tourist formula” that gave great popularity to Gran Canaria, thus began, the so-called first steps of the tourism industry. This explains the reason for the fascination that these islands exert on its visitors. In the space of a few kilometers, the scenery changes a lot and thus frequently attracts the attention and appreciation of those who have multiple needs and expectations. The visitor identifies these islands as an “ideal place” to spend their vacations or even long stays; to make real estate investments in order to profit from them and, perhaps, decide to stay part of their lives.

  • Plan De Acción Insular Para La Sostenibilidad Energética
    ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND GRAN CANARIA ISLAND (2012-2020) April 2012 ACTION PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLAND Gran Canaria Island Executive summary European islands with fragile ecosystems and weak local economies suffer an extra pressure of island ecosystems, transportation systems, energy systems and water needs due to the activities related to tourism. The island authorities have realized the need for joining the common efforts in the global strategy of fighting against climate change and European initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions. Under the European directive to achieve the objective of 20-20-20 in 2020, the "Isle PACT: Pact of Islands project" is an initiative of a consortium of European islands that have committed to reduce CO2 emissions in order to meet EU objectives. The Canary archipelago has a high economic vulnerability due to the almost exclusive dependence on fossil primary energy sources and its high exposure to volatility of oil market. Facing this reality, over the past two decades the Regional Government has developed the regional energy plans in order to define the actions that aim at sustainable development of the sector and ensure future energy supply. Canary Islands have some unique peculiarities, reflected in various documents of agreement, both the state wide and European of Outermost Region. The singularities in the energy sector are also recognized. The remoteness of the continent and the fragmentation of the territory configurate the independent island power systems with small and weak grids that suppose an important technical restriction to maximization of Renewable Energy sources (RES) penetration, by its variable and intermittent nature.

Those that took place between 2009 and 2017 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, their quantitative dimension and their intra-urban distribution are analysed in this study. This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property. In order to achieve this objective, the records of the Common Service of Notifications and Seizures have been used together with data of the Inland Revenue Ministry and Municipal Register, combining statistical and cartographical analysis with the purpose of finding associations Received: 07.06.2020 Accepted: 23.08.2020 Published: 19.11.2020 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license. and predictive factors. The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population.
