This paper proposes a methodology for the analysis of social vulnerability to floods based on integration and weighting range exposure resistance (coping capacity) indicators. It focuses selection characteristics each proposed indicator procedure analytic hierarchy process (AHP) large scale. The majority data used calculation indicators comes from open public sources, which allows replicability method in any area where same are available. To demonstrate feasibility method, study case is...
While urban built environments might promote active ageing, an infrequently studied question is how the neighbourhood walkability modulates physical activity changes during a intervention programme in older adults. We assessed influence of objectively on change used ongoing PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED)-Plus trial.The present study involved 228 PREDIMED-Plus senior participants aged between 55 and 75, recruited Palma de Mallorca (Spain). Overweight/obese adults with metabolic...
The data sharing strategy involves understanding the challenges and problems that can be solved through collaboration of different entities their data. implementation a space in Mallorca is based on available identifying using them. use spaces will contribute to transformation destinations into smart tourism destinations. Smart are considered as cities which industry offers new layer complexity technologies, digitalization, intelligence powered by This study analyzes four scenarios...
Modern agriculture requires technology to give precise measures about relevant parameters such as pest control. Here, we developed a decision support system (DSS) based on semi-automatic monitoring for managing the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), in Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). The DSS was an algorithm that took into account spatial and temporal patterns of population orchard where all trees were georeferenced, thus treatments against conducted through location aware (LAS)....
This paper aims to map the research landscape in equity and justice transport mobility, identifying key publications, authors, institutions, interdisciplinary connections inform future policy development. A systematic search of scientific articles on mobility was conducted Web Science, resulting 759 selected that were analyzed using bibliometric network analysis methods. The reveals a growing trend production since 2013, with Journal Transport Geography, Research Part A: Policy Practice,...
Background: Regular physical activity is an important preventive factor of cardiovascular disease. Proximity and density public open spaces are modifying factors on the practice activity. This article explores cross-sectional relationship between access to (POS) leisure time (LTPA) in elderly participants at high risk from PREDIMED-Baleares. Method: 428 subjects risk, participating PREDIMED trial, Palma de Mallorca (Spain) were assessed using Geographic Information Systems, POS was...
The pathogenic bacteria Xylella fastidiosa (Proteobacteria: Xanthomonadaceae) was detected in the Balearic Islands October 2016. In November 2017 EFSA granted data collection on biology of vectors Islands. grant included following objectives: i) Data by macrocosm and microcosm observations major agroecosystems; ii) Proposal field sampling protocols vectors; iii) Identification X. For study macrocosm, samplings were conducted Majorca, Ibiza, Formentera Minorca. study, cages containing one...
Information and communications technologies (ICT)—and more precisely, their use from fulltime connected mobile gadgets—offer valuable opportunities to interact with tourists using own devices. In order exploit these benefits, destinations should have appropriate digital infrastructure allow for bidirectional smart communication visitors. However, the spatial distribution of such coverage, geographical concurrence tourism activities ICT infrastructure, been poorly examined. This paper...
This article delves deeply into the burgeoning field of Tourism Data Spaces (TDS) in Europe, focusing on how technologies like Big and IoT are redefining tourism sector. technological shift is steering traditional tourist destinations towards smarter, more sustainable models. The study utilizes a multifaceted approach, combining documentary bibliographical analysis with empirical data from EU’s DATES project. By employing Drivers, Pressures, State, Impacts, Responses (DPSIR) model, it...
The definition of a tourism data space (TDS) in the Balearic Islands is complex process that involves identifying types questions to be addressed, including analytical tools, and determining type information incorporated. This study delves into functional requirements Islands’ TDS based on scientific research carried out field drawing comparisons with international information. Utilizing bibliometric analysis literature, this identifies should met for development robust, rigorous, efficient...
Digital terrain models (DTMs) are a fundamental source of information in Earth sciences. DTM-based studies, however, can contain remarkable biases if limitations and inaccuracies these disregarded. In this work, four freely available datasets, including Shuttle Radar Topography Mission C-Band Synthetic Aperture (SRTM C-SAR V3 DEM), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer Global Elevation Map (ASTER GDEM V2), two nationwide airborne light detection ranging (LiDAR)-derived...
This paper proposes new anthropogenic pollen indicators for the Balearic Islands and attempts to assess gradients of human impact on vegetation in Mediterranean islands. A combination modern analogue studies, complemented by phytosociological descriptions ordination techniques using quantitative presence/absence data was used. Redundancy analysis allowed us evaluate relationships between types significant environmental variables propose regional (e.g., Centaurea, Rubus, Plantago...
Knowing and modeling mobility in smart city spaces is important for both planning managing resources. The optimization of public resources the improvement their management are some main concerns development sustainable urban policies. This study proposes application several artificial intelligence methodologies to support based on data provided by Wi-Fi infrastructures city. Considering that networks provide high-frequency about devices under coverage radius, three classification techniques...
When promoting physical activity (PA) participation, it is important to consider the plausible environmental determinants that may affect this practice. The impact of objectively-measured public open spaces (POS) and walk-friendly routes on self-reported PA was explored alongside influence rainy conditions association, in a Mediterranean sample overweight or obese senior adults with metabolic syndrome. Cross-sectional analyses were undertaken 218 PREDIMED-Plus trial participants aged 55–75...
Sustainable mobility policies may encounter social, economic, and cultural barriers to successful implementation that need be assessed. In this sense, knowledge of the population’s habits their relationship with transport modes is particularly essential. Along these lines, a study was carried out patterns chosen concerning various social territorial variables on island Mallorca based most recent surveys. The shows choice mode influenced by wide range factors, such as gender, age group,...
La planificación sostenible del transporte público requiere la consideración de equidad territorial y social. El análisis precisa un profundo conocimiento servicio así como las características territoriales sociales dónde se implanta. En este artículo propone método simplificado para el sistema autobuses públicos, aplicado a ciudad Palma. nivel calcula partir oferta, contrasta con población existente índice multidimensional necesidad social público, dando lugar horizontal vertical,...
Pedestrian congestion can negatively impact how visitors perceive tourist destinations, as well turn local residents against the tourism industry. In this sense, urban planning and management principles derived from smart be enriched by applying suitable spatial analytical tools to monitor flows congestion. This study puts forward a methodology integrating emerging geospatial data sources into GIS environment analyze pedestrian through city of Palma. The information was obtained devices'...
Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae), is a highly invasive species and vector of several viruses serious concern to public health. Investigating the habitat selection this at small medium scales essential planning effective prevention control campaigns. present group considered detailed data for species' presence/absence collected 228 sites on Mallorca Island (Spain) in autumn 2015, 3 years after first detection island.
