However, historic buildings can have other functions and be relevant for tourism, as adaptation practices since the mid-20 th century confirm. This paper addresses the issue of sustainable tourism in relation to adaptive reuse of built heritage through a case study that illustrates urban evolution and involvement with distinct stakeholders. It regards the adaptations of the former S. Marcos Hospital, in Braga, in the north of Portugal, since its origins in the 16 th century and throughout history, focusing on the recent transformation into a hotel. The hospital underwent a major reform in the 18 th century. In the 1960s, during the Estado Novo dictatorship, it was enlarged with a modern accoupled pavilion. These facilities functioned as the city’s main hospital until the opening of a new hospital in 2011, leading to dereliction of the historical building. Recently, part of the old S. Marcos Hospital was renovated as a 4-star hotel by Vila Gale , supported by European community funds. The restoration project enhanced the historical building, adapting it to present-day requirements and considering future sustainability. The section from the 20 th century is currently being refurbished as a hospital unit. Pondering an interdisciplinary approach to this subject, the research draws on conservation and management theories of heritage buildings and contemplates its significance for the discipline of Human Geography. The analysis regards the adaptation of a historical building that held particular healthcare functions and observes its “new life”, evaluating this practice in relation to official policies, within the scope of sustainable tourism, as well as addressing the phenomenon of Medical Tourism.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129477508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to reach the main goal of this study, two sub-objectives were defined: the presenting of the physiography and the cartography of the geographical components of the study area, and the analysis of the LSA using a statistical-based method, Information Value Method (IVM), as a criteria required by the Model. Lastly, the validation of the results through the prediction and success rates was carried out. Landslide susceptibility is the probability that landslides will be generated in the predicted zone depending on local terrain characteristics. Several methods are proposed for landslide susceptibility assessment worldwide. IVM has been applied to prepare the landslide susceptibility map. This paper envisages the definition of the settings of the study area as well as the geophysical characteristics by means of the acquisition and preparation of predisposing factors, such as the geology, land use and climate and the application of the IVM on LSA using a statistically based method for each subset of the landslide inventory. This study is aimed at a prediction vision for sustainability as an alternative and this is not limited to degradation processes. It also concerns the efforts made to adapt to the impacts and even those of mitigating change. The promotion of sustainable development in risk areas requires an effort to analyze and evaluate local practices and approaches. This is what we are trying to do through this work, which starts from a methodological basis to validate a model for predicting landslides affecting the Moroccan Central Rif area.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117046656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The map aimed to dynamically visualise local protests arising against the new legislative decree on immigration and security approved by the Italian Senate in November 2018 (the so-called \"Salvini decree\"). Soon after its first appearance, the map had been circulated within national newspapers' and mag-azines' online articles, NGOs' webpages, blog posts, Facebook, and Twitter comments. Adopting an experimental format, this article is assembled in the form of a \"carto-essay\" which includes: original texts by the mapmaker (Del Biaggio C.), comments by curators (Rossetto T. and Boria E.), and a series of screenshots capturing moments in the map's life. Written on the spur of the moment and following the impulse to grasp in real time the rapid \"movement\" of a map and the spatial political statement it bears, this carto-essay alludes to questions such as the possibilities for a cartographic academic public engagement, the importance of feeling cartographic data in the public sphere, and the opportunity to provide progressive cartographic imageries of the nation.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122625391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In details, the article focuses on recently developed web tools in the field of history of cartography and outlines the implications, in terms of limits and potentialities, of digital cartography for research purposes at an academical level. In such analysis, the paper also dwells on participatory tools and digital earth models as tools for history of cartography research.. For this purpose, the paper analyses the results of a survey conducted by asking academic scholars in history of cartography their perception of the limits and potentialities of recently developed tools. What emerges from the research is a widespread perception of a series of potentialities and at the same time a consciousness of many critical issues, especially for what concerns participative tools and GeoWeb resources. Digital tools have profoundly modified academic research, becoming in some aspects tools for its enhancement. Nevertheless, their undisputed merit is that they have drawn the attention of a wider public, albeit through messages that are sometimes misleading, to the map as a means of communication.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130820969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During thepast few years, there have been many reforms which have affected how much geography ought to be taughtand the teaching methods for doing so. In this article, the general aims of the upper secondary geographyand content of the compulsory geography course are analysed from the perspective of powerful disciplinaryknowledge. The empirical data set was collected through an online survey, which was filled out by 63 Finnishgeography teachers in September 2017. The results show that even though the compulsory course in geographywas regarded as being important and student-oriented, teachers felt that there were too many geographicalphenomena to teach and too many time-consuming digital methods to be used. Teachers highlightedthe importance of critical reflection and geographical thinking in the aims of geography curriculum,and they had a positive attitude towards emphasis on current issues in the compulsory course. Many respondentsexpressed their concern about the fragmented character and the illogical structure of the course.The compulsory course has its focus on global risks and therefore, students have to study the consequencesbefore the causes. The required information on physical and human geography is studied later in optionalspecialisation courses, which the respondents saw as a major problem. Overall, even when the aims of thecurriculum support the ideas of powerful geographical knowledge relatively well, limited time for studiesin geography threatens students’ access to powerful knowledge in geography education.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128537375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the core of this contribution are so-called reader generated mappings, mapping practices performed after the reading of a literary text. The aim of this article is to suggest possible didactic directions for teaching geography through geo-visualisations based on the reading of literary texts. In particular, this research draws from the results of a literary mapping workshop attended by students during an introductory human geography course at the University of Padua (Italy). Focusing on one of the literary mappings performed by the students, namely the mapping of a short story written by the Italian writer Mario Rigoni Stern, a deductive process is used to understand the possible future potentialities of literary mapping in didactics. Analysing the students’ literary maps, this article aims to direct attention to literary mapping practices as constellations of learning moments to exploit. The reading of the text, the envisioning and creation of the map are here explored as the steps of a complex practice capable of visually developing geographical knowledge.","PeriodicalId":299934,"journal":{"name":"J-Reading - Journal of Research and Didactics in Geography","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130243689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
