Museums are main tourist resources for independent cruise passengers in cultural cruise destinations. However, their influence on cruise destinations is scarcely analyzed. The aim of this paper was to focus on two questions: What distribution of museums facilitates a sustainable mobility of cruise tourists in balance with urban needs? And which factors affect the potential use of both means of sustainable travel—soft mobility and public transport—at cruise destinations? The network topological features of main museums were analyzed to compare similar features among tourism destinations. A topological study based on the model of the three urban fabrics was related to the objective quality of PT. This allowed for a greater walkability or potential use of PT to be estimated. The results allowed for a diverse sample of cultural tourism port cities with cruise activity to be classified in three centralized levels and two decentralized ones. Results indicated that centralized networks are more prone to cruise tourists, while decentralized networks are more related to main cultural destinations. Finally, the discussion section analysed recommendations and measures to improve sustainable mobility and the planning of new museums. The results of this paper will be of interest to cultural and transport managers at these types of destinations.

El artículo aborda el problema de la financiación en la regeneración integral de barriadas. Tras el análisis de fórmulas ya ensayadas de gestión y financiación, se propone las directrices para un nuevo modelo basado en el cooperativismo. El potencial económico de una actuación colectiva activa y unitaria, precisa un modelo de economía social basado en la prestación de servicios como base de la habitabilidad y el mantenimiento como objetivo para reducir los ciclos de obsolescencia. Esto articula un mecanismo a largo plazo que trascienda la rehabilitación y garantice la adaptación progresiva a los nuevos estándares de habitabilidad.

El artículo presenta un análisis comparativo entre los modelos de covivienda senior y cooperativas vecinales de mayores en el contexto español, evaluando su viabilidad desde la perspectiva económica, arquitectónica y social, con el objetivo de prevenir la soledad no deseada en la población mayor. El modelo de covivienda, que agrupa a personas mayores en comunidades intencionales con espacios compartidos, ha ganado popularidad en los últimos años. No obstante, enfrenta desafíos relacionados con su ubicación en entornos periféricos, la alta inversión económica y los largos tiempos de promoción inmobiliaria. Como alternativa, se propone el modelo teórico de cooperativa vecinal, que permite a los mayores en situación de soledad agruparse en viviendas dentro de sus propios barrios, liberando otras propiedades para ser alquiladas. Los resultados del análisis muestran que la cooperativa vecinal es más viable económicamente, flexible en su implementación y favorece un entorno urbano más inclusivo. Sin embargo, se requiere un mayor apoyo institucional para su desarrollo. La investigación concluye que este modelo es una estrategia prometedora para abordar el envejecimiento en el lugar, mejorar el parque residencial y fomentar la integración intergeneracional en las ciudades españolas.

A significant number of universities have several campuses located in urban or rural settings, or with scattered university buildings that require the use of means of transportation. This implies the mobility and potential displacement of a large community of students, professors and researchers. The use of electric bicycles (e-bikes) is an intermediate alternative between the bicycle and electric cars. It can be an important stimulus for the promotion of the decarbonisation of the University Campus, avoiding the traffic congestion and reducing space requirements for parking. This paper presents the smart solar micro-exchanger model managed through a sustainable mobility web platform, applied to the case study of the University of Malaga (Spain). It is a solar charging station for e-bike, whose design is based on the principles of solar architecture (providing great security to e-bike). It managed by a web platform and app that allows the user to make reservations and learn about the savings in CO2 emissions. The system allows performing an aerobic sports activity without sweating problems when you reach the job. The platform also incorporates a database of quiet and safe routes for e-bike users.
