  • Tourist Accommodation Diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 239-258 Tourism capitalism and island urbanization: tourist accommodation diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010. Antoni Pons Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] Onofre Rullán Salamanca Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] & Ivan Murray Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Balearic Islands are one of the main tourism regions in Europe, and tourism has been the structural capitalist activity of urban growth there since the 1950s. Mapping tourist accommodation in the Balearics might help spatially explain the important socio-spatial transformation of a small archipelago in the Western Mediterranean. This paper analyses the diffusion of tourist accommodations as the main vehicle for urbanization since the 1950s. The tourism production of space has gone in parallel to economic cycles with particular urban expressions related to the different regimes of accumulation. Over time, as access to sea, air, and road transport, availability of investment capital, and institutional support has changed, so too have the directions of urban tourism development in the islands. Keywords : Balearic Islands, diffusion, economic cycles, Spain, tourism, tourist accommodation maps, urbanization © 2014 - Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Urbanization occurs differently on different kinds of islands. Islands specializing in tourism services may feature distinctive urbanization patterns due to the dynamics of this particular industry, which involves a coincidence between spaces of production and consumption. The spatial factors affecting islands play a variety of roles here, both increasing the amount of coastline (which has proven so attractive to mass tourism) and conditioning the means of transport and access to tourism sites.

  • 11. Calvià En La Época Contemporánea A
    11. CALVIÀ EN LA ÉPOCA CONTEMPORÁNEA A. Vives Reus (Universitat de les Illes Balears)87 y Departamento de Patrimonio Histórico del Ayuntamiento de Calvià 11.1. INTRODUCCIÓN Al igual que en el resto del Estado Español, la historia contemporánea del municipio de Calvià ha sido compleja, variada y llena de matices. Los marcos socioeconómicos y políticos de Mallorca y del conjunto del Estado han condicionado el devenir de este pueblo, pero a su vez, la propia idiosincrasia del municipio de Calvià, su base económica y su estructura social y política, ha otorgado a su evolución histórica un marco especialmente particular. Sin dejar de lado la evolución política del municipio, muy en consonancia con su marco geográfico de referencia, la historia contemporánea de Calvià puede dividirse en dos grandes momentos con tendencias socioeconómicas y territoriales marcadamente divergentes. Una primera fase, que podría llegar hasta mediados del siglo XX, estaría marcada por una estructura económica de tipo agrario y un estancamiento en el crecimiento de la población, con la aparición de fenómenos emigratorios importantes. La segunda fase, de gran vitalidad económica y con un gran impacto en la sociedad y en el territorio del municipio, se desarrollaría a partir de la década de los años 60 del siglo XX, y se caracterizaría por la aparición y el desarrollo del turismo de masas. Como veremos a lo largo de diferentes apartados, ello provocará, no sólo profundos cambios en la base económica del municipio, sino que también dará lugar a trasformaciones estructurales en la configuración de la población de Calvià, con la aparición de diferentes fenómenos de inmigración, y la construcción de una estructura territorial y una red urbana radicalmente distintas a las que, históricamente, habían marcado el devenir de este municipio.

  • The Orchids of the Isle of Formentera
    Jour. Eur. Orch. 37 (4): 501 – 528. 2005. Barbara Klahr Translated by Dr.Eckhard Kiehl The Orchids of the Isle of Formentera Keywords Orchidaceae; Aceras anthropophorum, Barlia robertiana, Gennaria diphylla, Neotinea maculata, Ophrys bombyliflora, O. dyris, O. cf. fabrella, O. fusca, O. speculum, O. tenthredinifera, Orchis collina, O. fragrans, Serapias parviflora; Formentera, Pityuses, Balearic Islands; distribution; ecology; endangerment; protection. Summary Klahr, B. (2005): The orchids of Formentera.- Jour. Eur. Orch. 37 (4): 501 XXX. A short review of history and geography of Formentera is given; aspects of flora and fauna of a south mediterranean Island, survival of plants in a half-arid zone without any wells or fresh ground water. As the most southern Island of the Pityuses, Formentera belongs climatically more to Africa than to Europe. It is a very rocky eroded Island after having had a long period without agriculture. Endemic species in flora and fauna are mentioned. Wild Orchids are growing on this small Island mainly in the higher regions of the plateau La Mola and Cap de Barbaria. There is not as much pastureland as in other mediterranean countries. Ophrys and Orchis predominate.. Most areas of Formentera were explored during the whole year, also difficult to reach regions like “Torrentes” (Canyons). The period of my observation is 2002 - 2005. The Orchids are endangered as a result of the reinforced agriculture and chemical fertilizing, subsidized by the EU, and by increasing building activities. Centuries fallow agricultural land that makes very interesting biotopes will be destroyed. The orchids of Formentera are bibliographically quoted; the results are to be supplemented with four new found species and new sites.
