This case study deals with a rock face monitoring in urban areas using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner. The pilot study area is an almost vertical, fifty meter high cliff, on top of which the village of Castellfollit de la Roca is located. Rockfall activity is currently causing a retreat of the rock face, which may endanger the houses located at its edge. TLS datasets consist of high density 3-D point clouds acquired from five stations, nine times in a time span of 22 months (from March 2006 to January 2008). The change detection, i.e. rockfalls, was performed through a sequential comparison of datasets. Two types of mass movement were detected in the monitoring period: (a) detachment of single basaltic columns, with magnitudes below 1.5 m3 and (b) detachment of groups of columns, with magnitudes of 1.5 to 150 m3. Furthermore, the historical record revealed (c) the occurrence of slab failures with magnitudes higher than 150 m3. Displacements of a likely slab failure were measured, suggesting an apparent stationary stage. Even failures are clearly episodic, our results, together with the study of the historical record, enabled us to estimate a mean detachment of material from 46 to 91.5 m3 year¿1. The application of TLS considerably improved our understanding of rockfall phenomena in the study area.

The traditional model of learning based on knowledge transfer doesn't promote the acquisition of information-related competencies and development of autonomous learning. More needs to be done to embrace learner-centred approaches, based on constructivism, collaboration and co-operation. This new learning paradigm is aligned with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) requirements. In this sense, a learning experience based in faculty' librarian collaboration was seen as the best option for promoting student engagement and also a way to increase information-related competences in Open University of Catalonia (UOC) academic context. This case study outlines the benefits of teacher-librarian collaboration in terms of pedagogy innovation, resources management and introduction of open educational resources (OER) in virtual classrooms, Information literacy (IL) training and use of 2.0 tools in teaching. Our faculty-librarian's collaboration aims to provide an example of technology-enhanced learning and demonstrate how working together improves the quality and relevance of educational resources in UOC's virtual classrooms. Under this new approach, while teachers change their role from instructors to facilitators of the learning process and extend their reach to students, libraries acquire an important presence in the academic learning communities.

From the point of view of local development cultural tourism events represent an opportunity since they are distributed homogeneously by the Catalan territory and are experiencing a vertiginous growth as a way to differentiate the existing supply. In our study a sample of 264 telephone surveys made to organizers of events in Catalonia has been compiled, with the purpose of characterizing the existing supply, thematic typologies, management models, commercialization inputs and economic impact. The results allow us to characterize events from the point of view of their tourist potential. Finally some recommendations are set out to develop future tourism policies based on events according to product differentiation, seasonality, competitiveness and creativity.

This article is based on the presentation of the results of a study on the humanisation of the image of cultural destinations, applied to the case of the city of Girona. According to the theories raised by different authors, we were interested in analyzing if the tourist images shown by the tourists publicity are influenced by romantic references typical of the dynamics of individual consumption. That is to say, if these images project a vision of an empty city, a museum.city, an individual panoramic or an individual consumption experience. The results of the analysis allow us to affirm that a mythical image of the city exists and it has a clearly romantic origin. Nevertheless, on the other hand, a specific glance exists where the tension between the indivudual freedom and the social conventionalism is demonstrated

Repàs de l'evolució que ha experimentat el turisme a la Costa Brava els darrers cent anys, durant tot el segle XX. La intenció no és tant reconstruir la seva historia, com parlar dels diferents models turístics que l'han caracteritzat, en un context mes ampli. Publicat dins el context d’un número monogràfic de la Revista de Girona sobre el s. XX, i ocupant l’apartat dedicat al turisme

L’aparició del turisme ha estat una de les claus per a entendre la transformació que ha patit la plana del Baix Ter, tant pel que fa al paisatge humà com al paisatge físic. Les raons de la massificació del turisme a la Costa Brava serien la bellesa de l’entorn, la bona climatologia i l’oferta de serveis a un preu assequible

The increasing interest aroused by more advanced forecasting techniques, together with the requirement for more accurate forecasts of tourismdemand at the destination level due to the constant growth of world tourism, has lead us to evaluate the forecasting performance of neural modelling relative to that of time seriesmethods at a regional level. Seasonality and volatility are important features of tourism data, which makes it a particularly favourable context in which to compare the forecasting performance of linear models to that of nonlinear alternative approaches. Pre-processed official statistical data of overnight stays and tourist arrivals fromall the different countries of origin to Catalonia from 2001 to 2009 is used in the study. When comparing the forecasting accuracy of the different techniques for different time horizons, autoregressive integrated moving average models outperform self-exciting threshold autoregressions and artificial neural network models, especially for shorter horizons. These results suggest that the there is a trade-off between the degree of pre-processing and the accuracy of the forecasts obtained with neural networks, which are more suitable in the presence of nonlinearity in the data. In spite of the significant differences between countries, which can be explained by different patterns of consumer behaviour,we also find that forecasts of tourist arrivals aremore accurate than forecasts of overnight stays.

Se'ns presenta una oportunitat ulllca d'aplegar en aquestes pagllles I'extensa producció escrita del Sr. Mirambell i Belloc. Des deis seus inicis professionals fins a I'actualitat com a cronista de la ciutat de Girona, ha composat pagines consagrades a temes d'actualitat social i d'ambit cultural, així com d'ambit historic i educatiu. Des d'articles de premsa fins a estudis monografics dedicats a I'ensenyament, la impremta, la Biblioteca Pública de Girona, etc.; tots ells d'un elevat valor cultural i d'una qualitat innegable.
