  • Analysis and Evaluation of the United Kingdom and Spain's Sport Models
    Original Article Analysis and evaluation of the United Kingdom and Spain’s sport models ESTHER PUGA-GONZÁLEZ1, GEMA TORRES-LUQUE2, JOSUÉ GONZÁLEZ-RUIZ3, DAVID CABELLO- MANRIQUE3 1EU La Inmaculada, University of Granada, Spain 2Faculty of Humanities and Science Education, University of Jaén, Spain 3Physical Education & Sport Department. Sport Science Faculty. University of Granada, Spain ABSTRACT In this study, we have undertaken an analysis of the status of Spanish and British sport models. Sport has become a major socio-economic marvel of the modern world, with broad media coverage and both active and passive participation. Sporting achievement, the public image of many countries, is a top priority for the governments of developed nations and represents a goal of general interest. Using data analysis, we have examined the reality of the sport models in both countries through sportive variables, as well as the financials behind the sporting economy in the last 5 Olympic Games. The data reveals a more efficiency model in UK and a need of change if Spain wants to keep its current level of achievement internationally, where the current model requires a review of its structure and funding sources, public or private, and the modernisation of the federated management model that must be preserved and encouraged through (non-profit) organisations that benefit from a favourable tax system, such as the Sports Federations.

Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract A centenarian Basque soccer club, Athletic Club (Bilbao) is the ethnographic locus of this dissertation. From a center of the Industrial Revolution, a major European port of capitalism and the birthplace of Basque nationalism and political violence, Bilbao turned into a post-Fordist paradigm of globalization and gentrification. Beyond traditional axes of identification that create social divisions, what unites Basques in Bizkaia province is a soccer team with a philosophy unique in the world of professional sports: Athletic only recruits local Basque players. Playing local becomes an important source of subjectivization and collective identity in one of the best soccer leagues (Spanish) of the most globalized game of the world. This dissertation takes soccer for a cultural performance that reveals relevant anthropological and sociological information about Bilbao, the province of Bizkaia, and the Basques. Early in the twentieth century, soccer was established as the hegemonic sports culture in Spain and in the Basque Country; it has become a multi- billion business, and it serves as a powerful political apparatus and symbolic capital.

  • A Case Study of Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain and the Los Frailes Mine Toxic Spill of 1998
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1999 Volume VI: Human-Environment Relations: International Perspectives from History, Science, Politics, and Ethics Human-Environment Relations: A Case Study of Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain and the Los Frailes Mine Toxic Spill of 1998 Curriculum Unit 99.06.01 by Stephen P. Broker Introduction. This curriculum unit on contemporary human-environment relations focuses on the interplay of cultural, ecological, environmental, and human health issues. It is a case study of an environmental disaster near Donana National Park, Andalucia, Spain. Donana is considered the most important wetland in Europe. Its marshes, mobile dunes, and forests are unique. In April 1998, a sudden burst in a zinc mine waste reservoir released a billion gallons of heavy metal contaminants into the Guadiamar River, a tributary of the Guadalquivir River, which forms the eastern boundary of Donana National Park. The toxic spill quickly was regarded as a national disaster in Spain, and it received extensive coverage in the press and in science journals. The highly acidic sludge, zinc, cadmium, arsenic, and lead pollutants that were released into the environment continue to threaten the ecology and the biota of this internationally significant wetland. I had the opportunity to visit Spain in the summer of 1998, just several months after the toxic spill occurred. The trip started and ended in Madrid, but the majority of time was spent traveling through the southern and southwestern regions of Spain, in Andalucia and Extremadura. A day excursion to Donana National Park gave me a chance to make first hand observations of the wetland (albeit during the dry season), to discuss ecological and environmental issues with park and tour group representatives, and to obtain some highly informative literature on the region.

This reality is especially representative in countries such as Spain, which are highly dependent on the income generated by the tourism sector. In these destinations, it is necessary to seek innovation and specialization in the sector in order to achieve new business models. This need is even more pressing in destinations overcrowded by the sun and beach effect, as is the case of Mallorca. The proposed work combines the concepts of sports tourism with the development of a wealth-generating business model that will contribute to promoting a tourism that is sustainable, environmentally friendly and deseasonalized. On the other hand, the proposed work will contribute to promoting integration and equality in the participation of women in sports through the development of a model Citation: Reier Forradellas, Ricardo, based on the promotion of women’s football. Using the methodology of case analysis, the results Sergio Luis Náñez Alonso, Javier of all the approaches outlined are provided, and we obtained a wealth-generation model that is Jorge-Vazquez, Miguel Ángel Echarte Fernández, and Nicolas Vidal Miró.

  • Spanish Women Athletes' Performance in the Summer Olympic Games History
    Original Article Spanish women athletes’ performance in the Summer Olympic Games history JOSUÉ GONZÁLEZ-RUIZ1 , PEDRO GÓMEZ-PÍRIZ2, ESTHER PUGA-GONZÁLEZ3, DAVID CABELLO- MANRIQUE1 1Physical Education and Sport Department, Faculty of Sport Science, University of Granada, Spain 2Human Motricity and Sports Performance Department, Faculty of Education, University of Sevilla, Spain 3Faculty of Humanities and Science Education, University of Jaen, Spain ABSTRACT In this study, an analysis was made of the qualitative and quantitative evolution of the participation and results obtained by the Spanish athletes throughout the Olympic Games, for which their records were compared to those of the men's team from Paris 1900 to Rio 2016. During the study, the growing weight of Spanish women athletes was analysed, resulting in the Women and Sport programme (2007), which seems to have been a determining factor in the improvement of the performance of Spanish women athletes, which surpassed that of the men's team in the last two editions, for the first time in history and in a consecutive manner. The data revealed a growing weight of women, with a historical representation much lower in the Olympic Games (less than 14% until Barcelona 1992) and significantly lower than men from the same (beginning to be more than 30%). This progression has been accompanied by a greater value in the variable weight of the medals, this fact was accentuated in the last editions of London 2012 (65%) and Rio de Janeiro 2016 (60%). It is clear from the results that there is plenty of room for improvement in women's sport. Empowering Spanish female athletes, increasing social and economic recognition, and identifying which are the differential factors that make them more efficient with respect to the male team, can optimize strategies and results in the third sector of sport in Spain.
