Since then, the T Laboratory has worked on developing methods and techniques for the documentation and study of the cultural values of landscapes and its incorporation into public policies. Some of the most relevant projects of the Laboratory will be described, especially the set of actions devel- oped in the environment of the Bolonia Cove, which will be submitted for the sixth Session of the Council of Europe Landscape Award. Andalusia is an Autonomous Community situated in the south of Spain with an area of 87,268 square kilo- metres and divided into eight provinces. It has a regional government, the Junta de Andalucía, the respon- sibilities of which are split between 13 Ministries, the Ministry of Culture being the one responsible for man- aging the cultural heritage of Andalusia. The IAPH is a government-run entity belonging to the Ministry of Culture, authorised as a research institute, the purposes of which include the monitoring, research and innovation, documentation, communication and development of historical heritage. The Landscape Laboratory is the IAPH Department responsible for guiding the implementation of the European Landscape Convention in the plans, programmes and actions carried out by the Andalusian government in the area of historical heritage. The Laboratory was created in 2000, thanks to a project of the European Culture 2000 programme, led by the IAPH, which established operating criteria for the landscape of large archaeological sites at Baelo Claudia (Spain), Cortona (Italy), Miróbriga (Portugal), and Thessalonica (Greece). Since then, the Laboratory has executed numerous multidisciplinary projects and actions (in collaboration with other national, international and regional institutions) which have progressed the implementation of the specific measures of the Convention associated with the promotion of awareness, training and educa- tion, identification and evaluation, landscape quality goals and implementation. Promotion of awareness The Landscape Laboratory’s work to promote awareness is aimed in particular at three target groups: the local population, heritage and landscape professionals and citizens in general. ► Local population. Guided tours aimed at the local population are offered at sites of cultural interest. These tours are often organised to coincide with events such as European Heritage Days. ► Page 35 ► Heritage professionals.

    MODERN SOCIETIES AND NATIONAL IDENTITIES Legal Praxis and the Basque-Spanish Conflict Unai Urrastabaso Ruiz IDENTITIES AND MODERNITIES IN EUROPE Identities and Modernities in Europe Series Editor Atsuko Ichijo Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Kingston University United Kingdom The Identities and Modernities in Europe series covers one of the central issues of the social sciences: that of modernity. Arising from a European Commission funded FP7 project, ‘Identities and Modernities in Europe’, the series brings together the latest research findings and provides a broader sociological, historical and anthropological analysis of various dimensions of identity in contemporary European societies. By way of a comparative study of processes of Europeanisation, the series contributes to sociological understandings of migration, secularization and education. It also examines the dynamics between Europeanisation, nationalisation and globalisation.

  • Spanish Proposal to Host the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre
    Leon’s proposal Spanish proposal to host the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre 0 Executive summary 1 Ready to go 2 Success stories: we already did it 3 Leon: a city to live in, a city to work in 4 Castilla and Leon, a vibrant region 5 Spain: a commitment to cybersecurity 4 The Spanish Government is convinced that the candidacy of the city of Leon is the best possible one to host the European Centre for Industrial, Technological and Research Competence in Cybersecurity (the Centre). We are presenting this candidacy with the certainty that Leon meets all the requirements and has unbeatable competitive advantages to ensure that the European Union maintains and develops, through the Centre, the cybersecurity capabilities necessary for our single market. The virtues of Leon's candidacy relate above all to its technical and professional suitability, but I would also like to highlight all its material and organic advantages: Leon is prepared to immediately house the headquarters of the Centre, in a privileged building located in the city centre, with excellent connections for its employees and only a few metres away from the largest high-speed train network in Europe. Leon is the Spanish capital of cybersecurity, as it is the headquarters of the National Institute of Cybersecurity (INCIBE), and has demonstrated its ability to successfully host technology, business and research centres integrated into European networks. It is a safe bet for value. Leon is also an excellent place to live and work. Countless indicators show Spain's capacity in infrastructures, health and education systems, historical and cultural heritage, leisure and social and citizen integration.

Pre-constitutional Law and Constitutions: Spanish Colonial Law and the Constitution of Cádiz M.C. Mirow* The Spanish Constitution of Cádiz of 1812 has recently gained the attention of constitutionalists and legal historians as an essential step in the development of world constitutionalism generally and Latin American constitutionalism more specifically. This interest in the Constitution of Cádiz, or the Spanish Constitution of 1812, has increased due to its bicentennial in 2012 and by the rolling bicentennials of independence of Latin American republics. The events leading to the Constitution of Cádiz and its implementation throughout the Spanish Empire are closely related to both initial independence movements in Latin America and to their subsequent constitutional practices and texts.1 There are fewer studies concerning the pivotal role the extant Spanish colonial law (derecho indiano) played in these events.2 * Professor of Law and Associate Dean of International & Graduate Studies, FIU College of Law, Miami; Investigador Honorario, Escuela Libre de Derecho, Mexico City, Mexico.

This is a template for the context analysis. TIP: you should have completed this document during the Designing Process. The main dimensions of analysis to be considered are: A - Geographical area of interest: The region of Aragón is one of the seventeen autonomous communities that form Spain. Aragón is divided in 3 provinces: to describe the territorial Huesca, Zaragoza (Saragossa) and Teruel, with 739 municipalities (Huesca: 202, Zaragoza: 291 Teruel: 236). It has a total boundaries and the location of the land area of 47.650 square kilometers. Zaragoza is the biggest province with 17.252 square kilometers, followed by planned actions; to define the Huesca with 15.613 and Teruel, 14.785. As a result of its size, Aragón is the fourth Spanish autonomous community. spatial limits of the analysis. Aragón is located in the northeastern part of Spain, bording on Cataluña (Catalonia), Valencia, Madrid y País Vasco (the Basque Country); also, Aragón has excellent connections with the rest of Spain, road access to France, train and plane. The Ebro River Valley which crosses the region is considered as the most active development priority in Spain in the last years. Thanks to its strategic location, Aragón plays a remarkable role as frontier with Europe through the Pyrenees (Some people define Aragón as the "European door" for the rest of Spain).

Field work consisted of a soil survey and a campaign of irrigation evaluation. The results of the irrigation evaluations were extrapolated to the whole district using a hydrodynamic surface irrigation model. An average irrigation discharge of 152 L sÀ1 results in a relatively low irrigation time (2.8 h haÀ1). Shallow soils, a limited conveyance network, and poor irrigation management practices determine that the application efficiency in the district is low, with an average of 49%. The district wide irrigation efficiency only reaches reasonable values when the system operates under water scarcity (49% in 2000 versus 66% in 2001). The simulation of surface irrigation indicated that the optimum irrigation time in the current situation is 1.7 h haÀ1. The optimization of the irrigation time would lead to an average application efficiency of 76%. Improved irrigation management can therefore result in substantial water conservation in the district.
