Archaeology on the Road, July 2010

Not only are we excited that Team Archaeology is back for our third ride, we are energized to be part of a “Human and Natural History” partnership that allows us expanded opportunities to share the story of Iowa’s amazing past. Once again there will be archaeologists along for the ride, as well as at Expo and this year at roadside locations Day One, Five and Six. Don’t hesitate to ask about the history of the first people to travel this landscape as well as the stories of each generation that has contributed to what we know of ourselves today. We will also feature information about the landscape and natural resources of Iowa you will encounter along the route through our partnering colleagues specializing in geology, hydrology, and other earth sciences. Enjoy using this booklet as your guide to the week’s activities and please help yourself to free materials from our outreach booth about our shared past and the natural world we depend on. Ride smart, be safe, and when you get home, be sure to tell your friends and neighbors about Iowa archaeology!

The University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) is delighted to welcome RAGBRAI riders to Iowa and we’re pleased to share a few details of our fascinating past as you ride across the state. We hope this booklet enhances your enjoyment and helps you learn something new each day of your ride, from the ancient site at Cherokee to the late 1800s lost town site of Bowen’s Prairie.

Los espacios turísticos de la Comunidad Valenciana: ¿planificación territorial del turismo o evolución espontánea? Los planes regionales y el caso de Peñíscola

La ordenación territorial es la práctica que resulta imprescindible para organizar el uso turístico del espacio. Sin embargo, el objetivo pendiente de algunas autonomías continúa siendo la interrelación entre planificación territorial y planificación turística, dando paso al urbanismo como técnica de ordenación territorial del turismo. Este estudio plantea determinar si la ordenación territorial del turismo en la Comunidad Valenciana a escala autonómica, local e interrelación entre ambas, se encuentra en una etapa integradora o espontanea, y de igual modo, plasmar la problemática de la conceptualización del turismo desde la perspectiva territorial. Mediante la integración de los catorce indicadores propositivos, que Exceltur extrajo de Planes de Ordenación Territorial de distintas autonomías insulares y del litoral mediterráneo, se comprobaron las buenas prácticas en planificación territorial del turismo de la Estrategia Territorial, el Plan de Espacios Turísticos de la Comunidad Valenciana, así como del Plan General de Ordenación Urbana de Peñíscola. Asimismo un hecho que afecta a la elaboración, redacción y consecución de los planes territoriales y/o turísticos valencianos, es la conceptualización sesgada del término turismo, tal y como muestran los resultados de diversas entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a actores especializados en planificación. Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren que la planificación territorial del turismo en la Comunidad Valenciana continúa su etapa espontánea, mientras que los municipios mantienen su independencia a la hora de gestionar la ordenación y la gestión territorial del turismo.

Contrasting models of land use regulation: Community, government and tourism development

This paper assesses the capacity of local communities and sub-national governments to influence patterns of tourism development, within the context of a globalizing economy. Through a comparison of the contrasting examples of Hawaii and Queensland, the paper indicates the consequences of different approaches to land use regulation. It points to the importance of planning and policy processes that integrate community interests, in order to achieve long-term, sustainable tourism development. Effective regulation of development can minimize the social and environmental impacts of tourism. The paper illustrates how community organizations and sub-national governments can articulate local interests, despite the global demands of investors for more deregulated markets in land.

Making land-use fit to planning goals. Weaknesses and opportunities within the Swiss land management regime

In Switzerland, the issue of land consumption has made it to the front of the political agenda in recent years. Studies conducted on a national level have concluded that there is an excess of land zoned for construction (ARE, 2008), which is seen as contributing to urban sprawl. This situation is looked upon as a failure of the Federal Law on Spatial Planning (LAT, 1979) and there is a political push to change it in order to reinforce zoning regulations. In this article, we look on the issue from a different angle. While there may be large quantities of land zoned for construction, in many urban areas land actually available for development is scarce. Building on the idea that planning's efficiency is linked to its capacity of influencing actual land-use, we focus on how this situation can be dealt with within the current Swiss institutional context.
