Tesis Doctoral BLAN CO Departamento de Sociología y Trabajo Social TESIS DOCTORAL PAUTAS DE LOCALIZACIÓN SOCIO-RESIDENCIAL DE LA POBLACIÓN INMIGRANTE EXTRANJERA EN EL GRAN BILBAO Tesis Doctoral presentada por Iraide Fernández Aragón bajo la dirección de Dr. Cristina Lavía Martínez y Dr. Víctor Urrutia Abaigar para la obtención del Grado de Doctora en Sociología Diciembre 2017 (cc)2018 IRAIDE FERNANDEZ ARAGON(cc by-nc-4.0) 2 Luces sobre la ría, lluvia sobre las baldosas, bajo las nubes una gran torre, en la oscuridad de la tarde. Es así cómo me siento flotar en los tenues reflejos del paseo, junto al agua inquieta, junto al cauce. El viento limpia la memoria, me eleva sobre mis pies. El silencio de la ciudad es un silencio vivo, una invitación, un pensamiento. Caprichosa arquitectura para una noche solitaria. Pero es este espacio, quieto y vivo, lo que me da vida aire, sensación de posibilidad. Ah, si lo supiera atrapar, conservar, traducir, qué gran poema escribiría. Urrutia, 2017. Poema urbano. 3 4 AGRADECIMIENTOS Quería expresar mi agradecimiento a todas las personas que me han acompañado en este proceso y han hecho posible, de diversas maneras, que esta tesis se complete. En primer lugar, a mi directora, Cristina, por el apoyo, el tiempo dedicado y la confianza que ha depositado en mí. También quería agradecer a mi codirector Víctor Urrutia, estar simpre disponible, las charlas y los libros. Le echaremos de menos. En segundo lugar, agradezco a mis compañeros y compañeras de Begirune, José Antonio Oleaga, Xabier Aierdi, Maite Fouassier y Julia Shershneva, donde empecé mi recorrido y me formé como investigadora. No hay mejor lugar para empezar ni en mejor compañía. Eskerrik asko. Asimismo agradecer al equipo de Ikuspegi tropical que me ha ofrecido su ayuda y apoyo en estos años y también en este intenso periodo final: Beatriz Otero, Taide Arteta, Gorka Moreno, Antonio Gómez, Arkaitz Fullaondo y María José Martín. También expresar mi gratitud a mis compañeros y compañeras del Departamento de Sociología y Trabajo Social de la UPV/EHU, por todos los comentarios de apoyo y confianza. Gracias también a todas las personas que han participado en esta tesis de manera altruista y voluntaria. A las personas entrevistadas, asociaciones, a Nerea Linaza, a Arminda, a Koudjo…mucho me temo que la lista completa ocuparía más de lo debido. A mis amigos de Leeds, thanks for the good times and memories. Hicisteis de Leeds el mejor lugar del mundo. Especial mención a Sara González, gran supervisor y mejor persona. Queria agradecer a mis amigas por esa mirada paciente y cálida, siempre acompañada de risas, confianza ciega y cañas. A mis amigos, por esos animos en forma de llamada, whatsapp o conversación relajada. No puedo olvidar en esta pequeña lista de agradecimientos a mi familia. Por ellos soy como soy (en lo bueno y en lo malo, pero resaltaremos lo bueno en esta ocasión). Cuento con la gran ventaja de tener los mejores padres del mundo, y eso es mucho. Eskerrik asko ama, eskerrik asko aita. Goñi, contigo al fin del mundo. Abuelo, abuela, gracias por todas las cosas buenas, no recuerdo ninguna mala. Y a ti, por supuesto, Ima. Si alguien ha soportado mi versión más demente e irritable has sido tú. Gracias por responder cada vez que lo he necesitado, gracias por estar ahí. Lo que la sociología ha unido… Suena a frase manida, pero sin vosotros y vo otras no hubiera sido posible. Solo comparable al la compañía de Bob de fondos y el chocolate al lado del ratón.

  • The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
    HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N. Pollalis as the basis for class discussion rather to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation, a design process or a design itself.

  • Citizens in Greater Bilbao Regard the Services of the Green Belt Ecosystems As Highly Beneficial 20 August 2013
    Citizens in Greater Bilbao regard the services of the Green Belt ecosystems as highly beneficial 20 August 2013 "There are mountains, forests, reservoirs, rivers and streams, beaches, marshes and dunes, cliffs and scrubland," they point out. But how do citizens rate the services offered by these ecosystems? To find out, the researchers drew up a questionnaire comprising 30 questions, and interviewed 500 people. In view of the responses, nearly all the respondents are aware that ecosystems provide services and they value and appreciate them. However, even though nearly 80% of the respondents identified the cultural services (leisure, landscape, tranquillity, etc.), only a third of them identified the regulating Izaskun Casado, is a member of the research group into services, and even fewer (1.8%) identified the Landscape, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of the supply services. UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country, and author of the work. Credit: UPV/EHU The survey also highlighted the fact that the most highly rated services are the improvement in air quality and biodiversity conservation. By contrast, most of the respondents (88%) are prepared to According to Izaskun Casado-Arzuaga, collaborate in preserving the area. The ecosystems provide more services than what many socioeconomic characteristics that exert a positive people believe. And their value is not in fact limited influence on this decision are, among others, being to the possibilities they offer in terms of landscape, from an urban background, being young, visiting aesthetic aspects or leisure. Casado is one of the the protected areas and being a woman. members of the research group into Landscape, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and, in her Citizen participation is needed opinion, it is important to remember the other services offered by ecosystems.

    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.
