Box 51, Hungary * Corresponding author We have carried out geological studies including mapping at the scale 1 : 50 000 in the southern part of the San Salvador Metropolitan Area to support urban planning and natural hazard mitigation. The study area extends over the Cordillera del Bálsamo, marginal fault system and southern part of the Central Graben between the active San Salvador volcano and Ilo- pango caldera. It represents a segment in the Central American Volcanic Front. Volcanic rocks of the Late Miocene to recent age, classified as the Bálsamo, Cuscatlán and San Salvador formations, occur in the area. Remnants of two large basaltic andesite to andesite stratovolcanoes, Panchimalco and Jayaque, represent the Bálsamo Formation. They show periclinal dips and facies zoning from lava flows and coarse epiclastic volcanic breccias of the proximal zone through epiclastic volcanic breccias/conglomerates of the medial zone to epiclastic volcanic conglomerates and sandstones of the distal zone.

  • Un Puñado De Gentilicios Salvadoreños
    UN PUÑADO DE GENTILICIOS SALVADOREÑOS Después de los Trescientos gentilicios peruanos, vienen bien estos gentilicios salvadoreños —o salvadorenses—, ya que a nuestro gobierno plugo investirnos como enviado extraordi- nario y ministro plenipotenciario del Perú en El Salvador. Desde luego, encontramos en esta república de forma uni- taria una división política del país que, en cierto modo, seme- jase a la de nuestra patria. En efecto, El Salvador se divide en departamentos, a cuya cabeza hay un gobernador —prefecto en el Perú—, designado por el ejecutivo. Mas, como el área de El Salvador es pequeña —unos treinta y cuatro mil kiló- metros cuadrados—, los departamentos no divídense en pro- vincias sino en distritos, los que comprenden municipalida- des, y éstos, a su vez, cantones, o poblados de pequeña impor- tancia para los efectos políticos. El Salvador es uno de los países de población más densa del planeta. Bélgica y Haití le superan. El número de almas que encierra esta república va aproximándose rápidamente a los dos millones, porque sus habitantes son prolíficos. Y así se explica que en área tan minúscula haya considerable nú- mero de centros poblados que aproxímanse a los diez mil ha- bitantes, o que exceden de tal cifra. Y ha sido precisamente esa cantidad de diez mil almas lo que nos ha guiado para pre- parar la presente monografía. País nacionalista por excelencia, y también profundamente religioso, en él adviértese la tendencia a dar nombres tomados del santoral católico, apostólico y romano a sus poblaciones. Pero también hay un ostensible deseo de perpetuar los nom- bres de grandes figuras de su historia, o de la historia conti- nental.

  • Making a Gang: Exporting US Criminal Capital to El Salvador
    Making a Gang: Exporting US Criminal Capital to El Salvador Maria Micaela Sviatschi Princeton University∗y March 31, 2020 Abstract This paper provides new evidence on how criminal knowledge exported from the US affect gang development. In 1996, the US Illegal Immigration Responsibility Act drastically increased the number of criminal deportations. In particular, the members of large Salvadoran gangs that developed in Los Angeles were sent back to El Salvador. Using variation in criminal depor- tations over time and across cohorts combined with geographical variation in the location of gangs and their members place of birth, I find that criminal deportations led to a large increase in Salvadoran homicide rates and gang activity, such as extortion and drug trafficking, as well as an increase in gang recruitment of children. In particular, I find evidence that children in their early teens when the leaders arrived are more likely to be involved in gang-related crimes when they are adults. I also find evidence that these deportations, by increasing gang violence in El Salvador, increase child migration to the US–potentially leading to more deportations. However, I find that in municipalities characterized by stronger organizational skills and social ties in the 1980s, before the deportation shocks, gangs of US origin are less likely to develop. In sum, this paper provides evidence on how deportation policies can backfire by disseminating not only ideas between countries but also criminal networks, spreading gangs across Central America and back into parts of the US. ∗I am grateful for the feedback I received from Roland Benabou, Leah Boustan, Chris Blattman, Zach Brown, Janet Currie, Will Dobbie, Thomas Fujiwara, Jonas Hjort, Ben Lessing, Bentley Macleod, Beatriz Magaloni, Eduardo Morales, Mike Mueller-Smith, Suresh Naidu, Kiki Pop-Eleches, Maria Fernanda Rosales, Violeta Rosenthal, Jake Shapiro, Carlos Schmidt-Padilla, Santiago Tobon, Miguel Urquiola, Juan Vargas, Tom Vogl, Leonard Wanchekon, Austin Wright and participants at numerous conferences and seminars.

  • Tourism in El Salvador: the Challenge of Consolidating As an Emerging Destination
    Cuadernos de Turismo, nº 27, (2011); pp. 1105-1108 Universidad de Murcia ISSN: 1139-7861 TOURISM IN EL SALVADOR: THE CHALLENGE OF CONSOLIDATING AS AN EMERGING DESTINATION Fracisco Javier Jover Martí Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha [email protected] The changes that have been taking place since the end of the 20th Century in the motivations of tourist demand have impacted in the emergence of new trends in tourism. These constant transformations are associated with exhaustion, saturation and obsolescence of the traditional model of tourism development. New production and consumption processes of leisure have been configured; in them the singularization and the differentiation of the product are the main features compared to the previous guidance range tourist production to consumption for massive and undifferentiated. The tourists base their choice on the possibility of getting the best competitive advantages which includes the enjoyment of unique and unforgettable experiences. So, it has led to the insertion of new destinations in the international tourist scene. There are some new destinations that were hidden in the international tourist map until recently. In some cases, their emergence has meant a great competency to other destinations with an acknowledged trajectory in this field. Since the beginning of mobility because of leisure purposes the increase in diversification and differentiation of destinations has been a recurrent constant, although not with the same intensity as that of recent years. At the moment, these emerging destinations are becoming more relatively important compared to most established destinations because of the increase in the international arrivals. These exotic destinations combine with aspects can be found in traditional tourist destinations, so they can enter into strong competition.
