Buscamos un acercamiento, desde la com- prensión y el aprendizaje mutuo, entre la sociedad y las personas migrantes, quienes ya forman parte integrante de nuestro entorno, aunque no siempre disfruten de las mismas condiciones de vida y derechos. Este año se ha producido un aumento significativo de nuestra presencia en estos territorios del Sur, con la apertura de nuestras nuevas sedes en Ceuta y en Granada, así como con el au- mento del trabajo en otras provincias, con presencia continuada en Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), Carmona y Écija (Sevilla), Don Benito y Santa Marta (Badajoz), Arcos de la Frontera (Cádiz), o La Fresneda (Málaga). Esto evidencia el gran esfuerzo de Accem para apostar por nuestras comunidades. La situación estratégica del Sur marca la diferencia de trabajo con otras comunidades; es la puerta de entrada de África a Europa. Además, con la apertura de la sede de Ceuta se ha comple- tado nuestra presencia en las plazas africanas bajo titularidad espa- ñola, cuya realidad es totalmente distinta a la Península, así como el trabajo que desarrollamos. a ndalucía, Pero el crecimiento de Accem Sur no se queda sólo en la apertura de nuevas sedes.

However, in many cases, the territorial criterion is not considered to be a noteworthy factor of analysis, owing to which this deficiency has encouraged the arising of spatial statistics. Nevertheless, given the variety of regressions, it is not clear which can best be adapted to the analysis of tourism. In this sector, when the supply of accommodation is analysed, it is understood that it must be strongly related to the presence of resources, owing to which it has been taken as an example of an application between two differentiated regression techniques: ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR), with the objective of determining which of the two is best adapted to this type of analysis. The model has been drawn up based on various methods, although it has been shown that it is more efficient to resort to the declared preferences of the rural tourist, with the starting point being a survey made of the tourists.

Such policies may perpetuate social inequalities between speakers of different languages in multilingual societies (Tollefson, 1991; Van Dijk, 1993; Es- cobar Alméciga, 2013; Ready, 2018). Policies that typically address society as a whole may also reference language use of migrant populations. The current study analyzes integration poli- cies in Spain at the federal and regional levels in the autonomous communities of Madrid and Catalonia, and examines how these policies shape and characterize the role of language prac- tices as they relate to immigrants’ participation in Spanish society.

  • The Clandestine Transition Towards an Unsustainable Urban Model in Extremadura, Spain
    Article The Clandestine Transition towards an Unsustainable Urban Model in Extremadura, Spain Víctor Jiménez * and Antonio-José Campesino Departamento de Arte y Ciencias del Territorio, Universidad de Extremadura, 10071 Cáceres, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-629-309-047 Received: 17 September 2018; Accepted: 8 October 2018; Published: 12 October 2018 Abstract: Given the incessant and clandestine proliferation of housing on the Undevelopable Land of Extremadura, Spain, and that administrative attention to this problem has been scarce, it is inevitable that urban geographers will turn away from the main focus of their study: cities. Thus, a methodology has been designed to discover housing irregularities in the countryside, and to quantify, locate, and date them. To do this, we have digitalized all urban planning in the region and performed sweeps on orthophotos at a maximum scale of 1:1500. Every single dwelling in the region has been detected using this method. The rurbanization in this region means that there has been a change in the urban model that has not been gradual. The fragile and weakened urban network of Extremadura has agglutinated a large part of the population, which has resulted in territorial emptying, but not in a stagnation of artificialization. In fact, the urban network has become increasingly dispersed and isolated because of residential growth outside the limits of Urban and Developable Land. In addition, this growth is eminently clandestine. The worrying results show us that there is an urgent need for the Administration to create and apply a Regional Plan for the Management and Control of Rurban Development.

  • The Spanish of the Canary Islands
    THE SPANISH OF THE CANARY ISLANDS An indisputable influence in the formation of Latin American Spanish, often overshadowed by discussion of the `Andalusian' contribution, is the Canary Islands. Beginning with the first voyage of Columbus, the Canary Islands were an obligatory way-station for Spanish ships sailing to the Americas, which often stayed in the islands for several weeks for refitting and boarding of provisions. Canary Islanders also participated actively in the settlement and development of Spanish America. The Canary Islands merit a bizarre entry in the history of European geography, since the islands were well known to ancient navigators, only to pass into oblivion by the Middle Ages. After the early descriptions of Pliny and other writers of the time, more than a thousand years were to pass before the Canary Islands were mentioned in European texts, although contact between the indigenous Guanches and the nearby north African coast continued uninterrupted. Spain colonized the Canary Islands beginning in 1483, and by the time of Columbus's voyages to the New World, the Canary Islands were firmly under Spanish control. The indigenous Guanche language disappeared shortly after the Spanish conquest of the islands, but left a legacy of scores of place names, and some regional words. From the outset, the Canaries were regarded as an outpost rather than a stable colony, and the islands' livlihood revolved around maritime trade. Although some islanders turned to farming, particularly in the fertile western islands, more turned to the sea, as fishermen and sailors. With Columbus's discoveries, the Canary Islands became obligatory stopover points en route to the New World, and much of the islands' production was dedicated to resupplying passing ships.
