Climate change may pose challenges and opportunities to viticulture, and much research has focused in studying the likely impacts on grapes and wine production in different regions worldwide. This study assesses the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of the viticulture sector under changing climate conditions, based on a case study in El Penedès region, Catalonia. Farm assets, livelihood strategies, farmer-market interactions and climate changes perceptions are analysed through semi-structured interviews with different types of wineries and growers. Both types of actors are equally exposed to biophysical stressors but unevenly affected by socioeconomic changes. While wineries are vulnerable because of the current economic crisis and the lack of diversification of their work, which may affect their income or production, growers are mainly affected by the low prices of their products and the lack of fix contracts. These socioeconomic stressors strongly condition their capacity to adapt to climate change, meaning that growers prioritize their immediate income problems, rather than future socioeconomic or climate threats. Therefore, growers undertake reactive adaptation to climate changing conditions, mainly based on ancient knowledge, whilst wineries combine both reactive and anticipatory adaptation practices. These circumstances should be addressed in order to allow better anticipatory adaptation to be implemented, thus avoiding future climate threats.

Between late spring and early fall, the development of storms is common in Catalonia. Despite the fact that they usually produce heavy showers of short duration, they can also involve severe weather with ice pellets or hail. While the latter usually affect inland regions, and there are numerous publications on these cases; the analysis of events affecting the coast and causing damage to public and private properties is not so well developed. The aim of this study is to provide additional thermodynamic indicators that help differentiate storms with hail from storms without hail, considering cases that have affected various regions of Catalonia, mainly coastal areas. The aim is to give more information to improve prognosis and the ability to detail information in these situations. The procedure developed involved the study of several episodes of heavy rainfall and hail that hit Catalonia during the 2003-2009 period, mainly in the province of Girona, and validated the proposal during the campaign of late summer and fall of 2009, as well as 2012. For each case, several variables related to temperature, humidity and wind were analyzed at different levels of the atmosphere, while the information provided by the radio sounding in Barcelona was also taken into account. From this study, it can be concluded that the temperature difference between 500 hPa and 850 hPa, the humidity in the lower layers of the atmosphere and the LI index are good indicators for the detection of storms with associated hail.

The main objective of this Master Thesis is to discover more about Girona’s image as a tourism destination from different agents’ perspective and to study its differences on promotion or opinions. In order to meet this objective, three components of Girona’s destination image will be studied: attribute-based component, the holistic component, and the affective component. It is true that a lot of research has been done about tourism destination image, but it is less when we are talking about the destination of Girona. Some studies have already focused on Girona as a tourist destination, but they used a different type of sample and different methodological steps. This study is new among destination studies in the sense that it is based only on textual online data and it follows a methodology based on text-miming. Text-mining is a kind of methodology that allows people extract relevant information from texts. Also, after this information is extracted by this methodology, some statistical multivariate analyses are done with the aim of discovering more about Girona’s tourism image

La màster tesi consisteix en la creació i desenvolupament del pla de màrqueting del nou producte de Lloret Turisme i el Lloret Convention Bureau, el “Festivals & Events”. A la primera part del treball es fa una presentació de la metodologia seguida, de la presentació del cas, amb l’anàlisi de l’estat de la qüestió i la presentació de l’àmbit d’estudi. Seguidament es procedeix a desenvolupar el cos del treball, és a dir, les diferents parts del pla de màrqueting, així com el desenvolupament de la matriu de la base de dades pel nou producte “Festivals & Events” del Lloret Convention Bureau de Lloret de Mar

The seven-year period studied here differs very little from the sixyear period described in the previous Report (1990-1995). Sustained growth was observed in almost all the indicators used to evaluate the resources invested and the scientific results obtained

L’objectiu principal d’aquest estudi és “analitzar quina és la imatge turística que el segon tipus d’agents inductius encoberts projecten de la demarcació de Girona”. En aquest estudi, la mostra es concentra en els viatges de premsa que el Patronat de Turisme Costa Brava Girona va registrar durant l’any 2010. Mitjançant els resultats en paper i web que els periodistes han publicat posteriorment al viatge de premsa, es pot esbrinar quina és la imatge que aquest tipus d’agents fan arribar als turistes potencials sobre la demarcació de Girona. En aquest cas, s’han exclòs els resultats dels viatges de premsa audiovisuals perquè requeria un altre tipus de metodologia més especifica

The aim of this computerized simulation model is to provide an estimate of the number of beds used by a population, taking into accounts important determining factors. These factors are demographic data of the deserved population, hospitalization rates, hospital case-mix and length of stay; these parameters can be taken either from observed data or from scenarii. As an example, the projected evolution of the number of beds in Canton Vaud for the period 1893-2010 is presented.

Formem part d’una societat canviant, on tot està en constat moviment. El turisme, ja no és només una font d’ingressos, sinó que és un corrent de nous costums, noves idees i noves formes de vida. Estem dins d’un territori on una de les claus és l’adaptació a la societat, aproximar al màxim possible l’oferta existent cap a la nova demanda, als nous mercats. L’activitat turística experimenta canvis, apareixen nous turistes i, per tant, es percep l’obligació de crear nous productes per satisfer noves necessitats. El projecte que es presenta, segueix aquesta idea. Prèviament s’ha investigat sobre segments de mercat poc treballats i s’ha estudiat la possibilitat d’adaptar l’oferta existent d’un territori concret per aquest nínxol. L’idea és definir amb màxima precisió el nínxol de mercat pel que es vol treballar, així com també tenir especial exactitud sobre el què oferir

Knowledge about spatial biodiversity patterns is a basic criterion for reserve network design. Although herbarium collections hold large quantities of information, the data are often scattered and cannot supply complete spatial coverage. Alternatively, herbarium data can be used to fit species distribution models and their predictions can be used to provide complete spatial coverage and derive species richness maps. Here, we build on previous effort to propose an improved compositionalist framework for using species distribution models to better inform conservation management. We illustrate the approach with models fitted with six different methods and combined using an ensemble approach for 408 plant species in a tropical and megadiverse country (Ecuador). As a complementary view to the traditional richness hotspots methodology, consisting of a simple stacking of species distribution maps, the compositionalist modelling approach used here combines separate predictions for different pools of species to identify areas of alternative suitability for conservation. Our results show that the compositionalist approach better captures the established protected areas than the traditional richness hotspots strategies and allows the identification of areas in Ecuador that would optimally complement the current protection network. Further studies should aim at refining the approach with more groups and additional species information.
