Item Unveiling the pandemic's impact on visits to Madrid’s parks: insights from mobile phone data analysis(Journal of Maps, 2023) Talavera García, Rubén; Pérez Campaña, Rocío; Cara-Santana, YerayChanges in human mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic have particularly impacted urban parks, altering their use patterns. The use of Big Data sources enables the quantification and tracking of changes, although few studies delve into their spatial representation and the socio-demographic characterisation of park users. In this research, we use anonymised cellular network-based data with associated user profile information to quantify and map the changes operated in trips to Madrid’s urban parks in a week of reference before and after the pandemic. Our results show a general decrease in trips to urban parks, especially by males in all age ranges. We also observe a marked decrease in trips by the high-income population. Finally, we have nicely presented some of these results in a composition of several maps that provide visual insight into the main changes.Item Centralities in the city border: a method to identify strategic urban-rural interventions(Ri-Vista. Research for Landscape Architecture, 2016) Pérez Campaña, Rocío; Abarca-Alvarez, Francisco Javier; Talavera García, RubénCity borders perform an essential role in connecting towns and their surroundings. Being more a fuzzy area than a thin line, these urban borders gather together residential, tertiary and infrastructural uses, places awaiting development, agricultural fields, brown-field sites, abandoned areas etc. all named as ‘b-sites’. Within this context, we propose a method to identify places for strategic urban-rural interventions based on the assessment and identification of centralities in the urban-rural transition. Multiple centrality assessment is here presented as an innovative application considering both urban streets and rural road networks as a mixed network with identified central nodes. This innovative method has been tested in the city of Granada (Spain) allowing us to identify high centrality ‘b-sites’ where landscape project design and, urban-rural interventions could contribute to creating urban-rural transition continuity.- Project number: 165
Item COLABORA – Aprendizaje colaborativo en geografía para la generación y uso de datos geolocalizados(2020) Condeço-Melhorado, Ana; García Palomares, Juan Carlos; Gutiérrez Puebla, Javier; López López, María Victoria; Michelini, Juan José; Moya Gómez, Borja; Osorio Arjona, Joaquín; Pérez Campaña, Rocío; Rodríguez Moya, Juana María; Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Stepniak, Marcín; Talavera García, RubénEste proyecto de innovación docente ha tenido como objetivo general emplear diferentes técnicas y actividades que fomenten el aprendizaje colaborativo en la generación, tratamiento y uso de los datos geolocalizados. Además, ha permitido la formación del profesorado en metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo centradas en el uso de datos geolocalizados en relación con las tecnologías de la información geográfica (TIG), con el fin de incorporar este tipo de herramientas en sus asignaturas. - Project number: 424
Item Realidad Aumentada para el aprendizaje en asignaturas vinculadas a las Tecnologías de la Información Geográfica (TIG-RA)(2023) Talavera García, Rubén; Condeço Melhorado, Ana Margarida; García Palomares, Juan Carlos; Gutiérrez Puebla, Javier; Michelini, Juan José; Moya Gómez, Borja; Pérez Campaña, Rocío; Romanillos Arroyo, Gustavo; Hewitt, Richard James; Santiago Iglesias, Enrique; Cara Santana, Yeray; Rodríguez Pacheco, Farid Leonardo Item Local Planning Practice towards Resilience: Insights from the Adaptive Co-Management and Design of a Mediterranean Wetland(Sustainability, 2020) Salizzoni, Emma; Pérez Campaña, Rocío; Alcalde-Rodríguez, Fernando; Talavera García, RubénAlthough widely, as well as recently explored, the concept of urban resilience still poses important issues in terms of its operationalization. For this reason, best practices that show how the resilience concept has been turned into planning practice are much needed. This article presents and discusses the case study of the Charca de Suárez Nature Concerted Reserve, an urban wetland situated along the Andalusian coast (Spain), to contribute to filling the gap on the operationalization of urban resilience at the local planning level. In the Charca, an adaptive co-management and design approach has been successfully put into practice to foster local urban resilience. Starting from some recent key studies on planning and management policies for urban resilience, we propose a framework to read, understand and evaluate the Charca experience, and more generally, resilience-based projects. The analysis highlighted the following crucial key aspects for urban resilience in the Charca case study: A collaborative governance model; and the building of community-capitals. The Charca de Suárez Nature Concerted Reserve can actually be acknowledged as an innovative planning practice, a source of inspiration for visions and experiments oriented to urban resilienceItem Q-PLOS, developing an alternative walking index. A method based on urban design quality(Cities, 2015) Julio A. Soria-Lara; Talavera García, RubénThe Level of Service (LOS) is a measure to evaluate the degree of accommodation of different transport modes in a given infrastructure (road, railway, street, etc.). While the last decades have seen a growing interest regarding the use of level of service for managing and planning private and public transport infrastructures, shortcomings appear when it is used in the context of pedestrian mobility (i.e. the complexity of pedestrian mobility in terms of behaviour and the consideration of urban design factors associated with pedestrianisation). This paper aims to gain insight into the abovementioned issues by developing an alternative walking index, the Quality of Pedestrian Level of Service (Q-PLOS) method. This novel method is based on the quality of urban design for pedestrian and its relationship with walking needs. The city of Granada (Spain) provided the empirical focus. The paper found that the Q-PLOS was a more accurate measurement of pedestrian mobility characteristics. This was based on the relevance of specific factors linked to urban design together with public preferences about them. Finally, the obtained high-detailed outputs provide a platform to increment the effectiveness of level of service specifically for pedestrians that want to access to a public transport stop.
