This study analyzes gender dynamics in rural communities affected by depopulation in Castilla y León (Spain), focusing on identity, belonging, and territorial transformation. Through a qualitative research design based on Grounded Theory and social and participatory mapping, this study examines differences in identity construction between men and women within a context of demographic decline. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 88 participants from 48 villages selected via purposive sampling. The results indicate that men construct their identities around economic and traditional roles, whereas women prioritize emotional support networks and family narratives. Additionally, men perceive depopulation as a structural and economic threat, while women interpret it as a disruption of social and community cohesion. This study highlights the utility of social mapping as a methodological tool for visualizing and analyzing participants’ perceptions of territorial changes and their implications for sustainability. From a gender perspective, the findings underscore the need to address rural depopulation by considering differences in environmental perception and adaptation strategies between men and women. This study concludes that territorial revitalization policies should incorporate a gender-sensitive approach that fosters both economic development and social sustainability, promoting resilient and cohesive communities within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

En este trabajo de arte de acción hilamos diferentes voces al tejido urbano, construyendo un diálogo interpersonal en el que personas distintas, habitantes todas ellas de un espacio social determinado, relatan la vivencia que el lugar teje en su topografía interior. La piedra, arquitectura simbólica de ese yo que se establece en unas coordenadas y que espera ser hallazgo de un otro, se transforma a través del arte de acción en un canal de comunicación para los habitantes del lugar. El relato de las vivencias topográficas ofrecido por la ciudadanía es analizado mediante una variante de la metodología de estudios de panel (^{Sun Woong, 2008}), denominada “de cohorte” (^{De Keulenaer, 2008}), para trazar una cartografía hablada de la ciudad, identificando las diferencias de los discursos humanos surgidos en los usos sociales de cada espacio.

RESUMEN La investigación-acción da forma al proyecto “La Voz de las Horas”, realizado por cuatro centros escolares, ubicados en la provincia de La Coruña, con el objeto de trazar un mapa del kairos. Para ello, los escolares analizaron la intensidad del paso del tiempo. Una vez comprendida la acción del recuerdo, participaron en la exploración de la memoria, solicitando a personas pertenecientes a 5 generaciones, relatos de su propia biografía. A nivel procedimental se generó un cuestionario asociado a un código QR, el cual, tras ser adherido a un símbolo, fue utilizado como instrumento exploratorio, al ser distribuido en el espacio urbano. A modo de respuesta, se obtuvieron 256 recuerdos, que fueron analizados, mediante la técnica cualitativa de panel, denominada “de cohorte”, destinada a conocer el relato de la acción, en la voz de los protagonistas. Finalmente, los resultados cartográficos fueron representados, en una instalación artística participativa.

The commercialization of Km 0 products has emerged as a strategic approach to strengthening rural economies, promoting sustainability, and countering depopulation in European territories. This study examines the motivations and perceptions of three key stakeholder groups—farmers, restaurant businesses, and public officials—regarding rural permanence and the role of Km 0 commercialization. Based on original survey data collected in Spain (2024), the research adopts a comparative perspective to identify convergences and divergences across these actors. Results show that farmers perceive Km 0 as vital for the survival of family farms and the preservation of territorial identity, while restaurants view it as a competitive advantage to ensure freshness and authenticity in gastronomy. Public officials frame Km 0 as a governance tool for rural revitalization and demographic stabilization. Despite these different orientations, all groups converge on valuing quality of life, contact with nature, and sustainability. Structural constraints such as inadequate infrastructure, limited digital connectivity, and generational renewal remain significant barriers across contexts. Situating these findings within the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the agroecological transition framework, this article suggests that Km 0 commercialization holds potential as an instrument for sustainability, territorial resilience, and food sovereignty in contemporary rural Europe, while acknowledging that the exploratory nature of this study calls for caution in extrapolating these findings beyond the specific contexts examined.

This research examines the behavior of youth club basketball coaches after a shot in real-competition situations. Six licensed coaches of the Spanish Basketball Federation took part in this study; all the teams competed in the Galician league (Spain) in the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 seasons. There were five men’s teams and one women’s team, with players between 11 and 17 years old. To record the behavior, a new instrument was used based mainly on the Coach Behaviour Assessment System (CBAS), which also incorporates some of the adjustments made in the SOCE (Sistema Observación Conductas Entrenador developed by Montero). The instrument was designed to analyze the behavior of coaches after their players have taken shots. In total, 38 official matches were analyzed. Registered behaviors were compared with auto-perceived data in the same situation. From the results obtained, significant differences between the registered behavior and the auto-perception of the coaches are evident.

The purpose of this paper is to maintain emotional communication between the educatorsof the Infant School “Carmen Cervigón” in A Coruña and the families, during the lockdown stagederived from Covid-19, for this, an interaction channel is created, that allows families to express fears,expectations, learning experiences and life lessons so that they can be heard, symbolized in an artisticway so they can serve as a starting point, in the school organization of the 2020-2021 academic year.In order to achieve this, the obtained messages were analyzed through the qualitative panel techniqueSun Woong, (2008), adapted by De Keulenaer, (2008), to give voice to the joined experience shared bya group of people, so that, from the recognition of the individual subjectivity a common story is born,which offers a communal description of what was lived. This narration, once built, was representedin a contemporary art installation, in order to signify the memory of what happened and generate acommunal symbol.
