The distributive environmental justice approach focuses on analysing the spatial patterns of effects and identifying situations inequality between different social groups. These inequalities may be related to specific impacts or result accumulated benefits harms certain populations, latter aspect being less investigated globally and, in particular, Latin America. This work aims analyse existence injustices city Montevideo (Uruguay). For this purpose, an quality index (EQI) composed five...
Abstract Landscape characterisation using social media photographs from popular platforms has been proposed as a landscape and ecosystem services approach. However, crowdsourced websites provide uncharacterized data are only representative of the general public. Photographs sports platforms, whose users more homogeneous, could help to characterise uniformly. In this study we use automated content analysis on Wikiloc, crowd-sourced platform, characterize in Ebro Delta Natural Park, protected...
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prophylactic vaccination has proven effective in preventing new infections, but it does not treat existing HPV infections or associated diseases. Hence, there is still an important reservoir of adults, as programs are mainly focused on young women. The primary objective this non-randomized, open-label trial to evaluate if a 3-dose regimen Gardasil-9 HPV16/18-positive women could reduce the infective capacity their body fluids. We aim assess vaccine-induced...
Abstract This paper provides a first attempt at the construction of unified, homogeneous inventory different classes urban settlements in European space, building on approach international institutions such as OECD and EU relation to larger areas extending it specific challenge presented by smaller settlements. Its objective is twofold. The address fundamental empirical problem that was central development ESPON 2013 project ‘Small Medium sized Towns their Functional Territorial Context’...
This paper analyses visitor monitoring and the public use of protected areas using volunteered geographic information (VGI) as a source big data and, object study, Ebro Delta Natura 2000 site (west Mediterranean basin). Over 5,000 voluntarily recorded tracks spread over 10 years have been analysed, showing predominance cycling activities on trails up to 50 km in length. Using cluster analysis hotspot approach, we found that highest intensities are concentrated less than 1% area studied,...

Mapping cognitive landscape perception is hindered by the difficulty of representing opinions that are spatially distributed in a heterogeneous way or not restricted locations physical elements landscape. In recent years, use tools based on geographic information techniques has gained momentum assessment. We propose methodology for generalizing spatial basis. To this end, we used public participatory system to collect data, which method bipolar adjectives approach users’ opinions, and...
The analysis of the landscape and its characterization is usually carried out from quantitative perspectives, that is, value as established in relation to physical characteristics potential use resources. However, misguided diagnoses application ineffective management strategies question these methodologies reveal need generate new epistemologies qualitative research methods for subject -place relationship. objective analyze social cartography a participatory action tool (IAP) represent...
In this article we compare two traditional aesthetic landscape assessment models, the psychophysical model and psychological model. Our aim is to determine how close both theoretical frameworks are what extent they produce similar results, thematically spatially. We conduct using a mapping procedure based on use of geographic information systems, one through public participation system, spatial analysis techniques. The results indicate that models divergent although tend coincide in locating...
Petrochemicals and oil refineries are industrial processes that use compounds polymers derived directly or indirectly from natural gas crude for chemical purposes. They have posed a number of short- long-term risks to the environment people who live nearby. The study aims determine how presence areas, such as refineries, affects local population's perception their surroundings. investigation centers on Tehran Oil Refinery, major refinery hub, its perceived environmental impact. For...
To describe socioeconomic inequalities in mortality the Basque Country, using and data by census sections.Mortality population were obtained from Institute of Statistics.

Age-adjusted rates sex, age group (0-64 > or = 65) cause calculated for quintile index. Poisson regression models fitted estimate age-adjusted rate ratios excess attributable...
VGI (Volunteered Geographic Information) refers to spatial data collected, created, and shared voluntarily by users. Georeferenced tracks are one of the most common components VGI, and, as such, not free from errors. The cleaning GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is usually based on detection removal outliers using their geometric characteristics. However, according our experience, user profile differentiation still a novelty, studies delving into relationship between contributor...
