  • The Construction of the Basque Polarized Pluralism
    The Construction of the Basque Polarized Pluralism Francisco J. LLERA RAMO Universidad del País Vasco Working Paper n.64 Barcelona 1993 The political transition from the authoritarian system to the pluralist regime started in December 1976 with the Political Reform Act and finished with the approving referenda of Constitution and Statutes, being the first one (December 1978) general for the State and the second (October 1979) specific for the Basque Country. The following stage in both cases was that of starting the previously designed institution-building process to result in a third phase that we might define as consolidation of the democratic system which is the present one. The Basque people have been called to polls more than twelve times since the first free elections in 1977. They have voted the composition of the Houses in Madrid and Vitoria, of the regional institutions of Alava, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya, of the city councils and even of the European Parliament, not to mention the four referenda. At the regional level, the "inaugural" 1980 election opened a period of political alignment and institution-building hegemonized by the PNV (Partido Nacionalista Vasco, Basque Nationalist Party) in a context of strong anti-centralist mobilization and of maximum activity of the radical nacionalism's armed organisms at the same time as ETApm decided its disolution. The second elections of 1984 were of "passage", extending the previous situation to a term shortened by PNV's parliamentary weakening eventually leading to its early split at the time of defining the internal organization of the Basque Country with the LTH as well as its alliance-politics.

  • Industrial Culturescape: Territory As Context
    Sustainable Tourism VIII 237 INDUSTRIAL CULTURESCAPE: TERRITORY AS CONTEXT ANA SCHMIDT Provincial Government of Biscay, Spain National University of Distance Education (UNED), Spain ABSTRACT The European Landscape Convention has contributed to understanding landscape as an important component of collective well-being and highlighted the need to manage the entire territory as a landscape. The Nervion estuary, Abra Bay and mining area deserve to be considered an urban cultural landscape, because of their heritage value and singular beauty. The landscape of the Nervion and Abra has developed over time, above all, throughout the period of industrialisation. Restoring the industrial heritage landscape, such as the old mining railways, may bring the existing cultural landscape closer to the environment of the people who live in these areas. This study categorises the heritage elements and traces of the Orconera mining railway, in order to understand the current landscape and determine a proposal for action to preserve them and restore the mining railway line as a green infrastructure. In this case, preservation as a sustainable landscape means proposing a new use for it as cultural landscape and tourism. Although industrialisation has had a serious impact on the development of the whole Bilbao metropolitan area, the mining-industrial heritage includes sites that are somewhat unexplored and overlooked by urban policies. Keywords: cultural landscape, cultural tourism, industrial cultural heritage, industrial tourism, mining railways. 1 INTRODUCTION In the study we carried out on the Nervion Estuary, its banks, the Abra Bay and the mining area within the Greater Metropolitan Area of Bilbao, we found a landscape that rightfully comes under the description of cultural landscape, as per this definition in the 1992 UNESCO Convention on Cultural and Natural Heritage.

Multiproxy analysis (foraminifera, trace metals and radioisotopes) shows the Trace metals temporal transformation of these estuaries in response to regional driving forces such as fresh-water discharge, Radioisotopes relative sea-level (RSL) variation and the more recent impact of industrial development. At millennial and Holocene Anthropocene centennial timescales, the Deba estuary transformed from a tide-dominated to a river-dominated estuary at about 8000 yr cal BP following the decrease in RSL rise rate.
