The purpose of this research was to analyze the visitor-management tactics and strategies in World Heritage destinations. The Temples of Angkor (Cambodia) were selected as case studies. The analysis was carried out in two phases—before and after COVID-19. A qualitative methodology was used. Participant observation was employed for the pre-COVID-19 strategies, and recommendations of scholars and bodies responsible for tourism were the basis for the strategies proposed for the post-COVID-19 scenario. Grounded theory and the Atlas.ti qualitative analysis software were used. The results showed that the public health goal, together with its related strategies and tactics, should be added to the classic sustainability goals and the hard and soft strategies (physical, regulatory, and educational). It was also noted that new actors came into play—those responsible for public health. In conclusion, this new public health goal and its tactics will condition classic factors such as carrying capacity, and can conflict with goals such as the economic and social goals. The sustainability paradigm is maintained, but with the addition of risk society and the public health goal playing a key role.
The goal of this article is to analyse leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and health-driven motivations to engage in such activity among elderly people in the European Union. We use as a base the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the theory of the correlation between physical activity according to individual factors (age, gender, socio-economic status) and contextual factors (habitat, community infrastructures, the model of the welfare state of the country of residence). Data are taken from Eurobarometer 88.4. The Generalized Structural Equation Model (GSEM) methodology was used, with the STATA program. The results show that 65.3% of EU citizens over the age of 60 engage in some form of LTPA, that 40.4% do so for health reasons, and that only 32.3% engage in LTPA that meets the minimum guidelines set by the WHO. In addition, there are large differences based on individual and contextual characteristics. The following group was found to be those who practice the most: men, with high socio-economic status, belonging to the middle and upper social classes, living in rural areas where there is infrastructure for physical activity, and above all, in the countries of the Nordic model of social welfare.
The granting of custody after the separation of couples is an increasingly common field of study. The literature shows that the interest in this topic has focused mainly on the separation of heterosexual couples. This article seeks to show how the granting of custody is distributed among the different models in the case of Spain, and the impact of specific variables on the granting of custody after the breakdown of same-sex marriages. A quantitative methodology was applied with multivariate descriptive analysis (through the elaboration of dependency analysis), using the Statistics of Nullities, Separations and Divorces (ENSD) of the National Institute of Statistics (INE). The main conclusion was that the joint custody model is more present than the sole custody in the case of same-sex couples, while the number of minors and dependent children of legal age are the variables that determine the custody model granted.
La presente investigación se centra en identificar la relación de determinadas variables sociales con la asignación de la custodia tras el divorcio de matrimonios heterosexuales en Andalucía. Para ello se emplea metodología cuantitativa, utilizando la Estadística de Nulidades, Separaciones y Divorcios (INE, 2017) y datos de indicadores económicos como el Producto Interior Bruto (2017). Su explotación permite tener en cuenta todo un conjunto de variables necesarias para comprender el fenómeno objeto de estudio. Se realizan análisis de tipo descriptivo y multivariante (análisis factorial y de correspondencias). Los principales resultados obtenidos confirman que variables como el número de hijos menores o mayores dependientes, el fallo de la sentencia y el PIB de cada provincia, están relacionadas significativamente con la modalidad de custodia finalmente asignada. Otras variables como la edad de los cónyuges o su nacionalidad no parecen tener asociación en la modalidad que se otorga.

La peregrinación al Rocío ha tenido su gran expansión en los últimos cincuenta años, y ha conseguido atraer a peregrinos y turistas de múltiples localidades tanto nacionales como internacionales. Por tanto, la celebración del Rocío trasciende la presencia puramente religiosa, dado que las dimensiones que abarca y las motivaciones que la suscitan van más allá. En este sentido son diferentes los elementos que se entremezclan, simbólicos, económicos, políticos, etc., y en todos ellos aparece una dualidad de aspectos que se presentan en una relación opuesta y que resultan de interés y análisis en este artículo.
