La antesala de su cuadragésimo cumpleaños y el estreno de su último largometraje, En tu piel, constituyen el pretexto para revisitar la fértil carrera cinematográfica de Matías Bize, avalada por no pocos premios, incluido un Goya en 2010 a la Mejor Película Hispanoamericana. El director y guionista chileno accedió sin reparos al diálogo a la mañana siguiente de haber presentado el filme, con gran convocatoria de público, en el marco de la edición 34 del Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara, que tuvo como país invitado de honor a Chile.

Esta investigación estudia la influencia de las variables en la disposición a pagar de los visitantes mediante su perfil socioeconómico y las preferencias. La investigación fue realizada en el Parque Estatal Fritz Plaumann, Concórdia – SC, Brasil. Cuestionarios y formularios fueron utilizados para la recolección de datos junto a los visitantes espontáneos mayores de 18 años, un total de 138 cuestionarios / formularios fueron aplicados durante los meses de julio y octubre de 2016, los cuales se caracterizaron en relación con la percepción del viaje, los objetivos del viaje al atractivo, el perfil de los visitantes, ingresos y costes y la valoración del Parque. En el análisis de los datos, se encontró que la mayor proporción de los visitantes del parque son residentes locales, con edades comprendidas entre 26 y 35 años y un alto nivel de educación. La mayoría de ellos están visitando el parque la primera vez, impulsado por referencias de amigos o familiares. Los resultados indicaron un alto nivel de disposición a pagar (R$ 34.934,63 por año), que podría contribuir para la manutención y mejoría de la infraestructura para el uso público y conservación de la biodiversidad. Pero, la tasa de entrada en el parque debe aplicarse solamente a los turistas, eximiendo a los residentes locales, promoviendo la inclusión social y la valoración del Parque Estatal Fritz Plaumann por la sociedad.

In this work the main objective is to identify patterns of behavior of tourists caused by the use of the internet. The way in which the searches of certain words on the internet drive a response in the flow of domestic tourists that come to the state of Tlaxcala in Mexico is analyzed. The methodology used is a quantitative analysis of large-scale information on the Internet (Big Data), using a Time Series autoregressive vector (VAR) model. The main conclusion is that there is a differentiated impact according to the word that is searched on the Internet. The factor that attracts tourism is the availability of rooms, while for the case of visits is the existence of sighting.

The use of tourism as a local development strategy leads to the creation of projects and programs that, by building on the territory and population capacities, boosts the integration of the localities into market processes, creating wealth that will bring about improvement for the population without affecting their natural and cultural heritage. The Magical Towns of Mexico Program (Programa de Pueblos Mágicos de Mexico, PPM) is successful because of its territorial coverage and its results, although it has also caused negative impacts. Seven localities in Jalisco have the cultural and natural attributes and have created the touristic project necessary to obtain the distinction of Pueblo Mágico. This paper presents a proposal for the evaluation of indicators through the analysis of demographic, economic and touristic information and through observational visits to the localities: the sociodemographic indicators are presented through population growth and the conditions of human development; the economic ones through the composition of enterprises and the number of theirs employees; and the touristic ones through an evaluation of supply (accommodations) and demand (overnight visitors and day guests). This analysis allows to understand the situation of each locality and to identify the impact the PPM has on society.

This article analyzes the factors that are associated with community participation in the processes of alternative tourism development. As a starting point, we analyze the concept of participation and its typologies based on the characteristics of tourism activities in indigenous communities in order to arrive to a model of community participation in tourism. Four case studies are then presented in the context of indigenous communities in Mexico. We begin with the premise that there is a set of common factors that enable a wide and significant participation of community members in tourism enterprises and thereby resulting in greater direct and indirect benefits. The analysis brings to light the diversity of participation pathways, the existence of inclusion and exclusion processes when profiting from the benefits of these ventures as well as the importance of the formation of external networks for the development of specific projects.

This article aims to evaluate the current conditions of the Mexicali Valley, Baja California, Mexico, which can serve as support for the development of a rural tourism that generates greater regional economic development. For this, an explanation is made of the conditions necessary for the practice of rural tourism. Through interviews with tourist servers and a focus group session, with experts in the region, information on trade, sustainability and tourism practice in the area was obtained. The results of these inquiries yield answers that guide the definition of the Mexicali Valley as a region with physiographic potential, ethnic culture and close links with rural activities to develop rural tourism based on the proposal of four tourist routes. Finally, the relevant implications for management and future research are presented.

The assessment of sustainable tourism development must incorporate the views of the destination’s residents. The research objective is to study the perceptions of tourism development in Copper Canyon, according to the opinions of hosts, in order to assess the satisfaction and perceived sustainability regarding the territorial tourism model implemented. A qualitative and applied research is developed, by means of a deductive explanatory approach with purposeful character. The assessment the local community’s perception was carried out by a pilot study and the application of surveys. It concludes with the identification of incompatibilities, which reflect lack of convergence between the perceptions of the local community, and the receiving environment. It will be necessary to develop strategies to ensure the convergence of interests and expectations. Keywords: Tourism, community, sustainability, planning, Copper Canyon.

Sport mega-events significantly change the social, political, economic, environmental and urbanistic reality of their host cities. The analysis of mega-events impacts for the country or the host city can focus on objective impacts or on perceptions of residents in host communities. This paper analyzes the impacts 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil in both methodological perspectives. The evaluation of the objective impacts was conducted through extensive literature and documental review, while the evaluation of the subjective impact used primary information collected through 3770 interviews with residents of the twelve host cities of the event. Data were analyzed through structural equation models to examine the structural relationship between the perceived impact and popular support for the event. The results show that perceptions of both positive and negative impacts are significant determinants of the support for the hosting of megaevents.

Introducción:  El gran impacto tecnológico de las últimas décadas y el amplio desarrollo de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) se han establecido como una característica propia de la sociedad actual. Este avance vertiginoso, y la cantidad y diversidad de cambios que se van generando en el conocimiento, están induciendo a la escuela y a su currículum a una importante innovación y transformación. La irrupción de las TIC en el ámbito educativo, conlleva un incremento en la motivación y el interés de los procesos de aprendizaje en el alumnado. Asimismo, han fomentado el desarrollo de una mayor autonomía y competencia dentro de esta sociedad en continua transformación. Por otro lado, la cantidad de tiempo que los alumnos dedican al uso de determinadas tecnologías (móvil, internet, redes sociales y videojuegos) fuera del contexto escolar y la variedad de recursos digitales y audiovisuales que se están desarrollando, lleva a plantearse su influencia en algunos de los procesos psicológicos básicos para el aprendizaje, y su pertinencia para la práctica docente. Se ha demostrado que la utilización de las TIC influye en habilidades como la atención, la percepción o la memoria.Metodo:  En el presente estudio participaron 70 alumnos, 35 niñas y 35 niños, de edades comprendidas entre 10 y 11 años, matriculados en 5º curso de Educación Primaria de un centro concertado de la ciudad de GranadaResultados:  Los resultados muestran que tanto la metodología empleada a través de TIC como el desarrollo neuropsicológico del alumnado influyen en el aprendizaje del inglés como segunda lengua.Discusión y conclusiones: Así pues, una metodología basada en las TIC en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas favorece el interés hacia el aprendizaje, facilita el acceso a otras culturas, mejora la interacción entre los alumnos, la independencia de los alumnos en su propio aprendizaje, así como su motivación hacia el mismo.

Introduction. In recent decades, several studies provide scientific evidence on the benefits of preventive family intervention in early childhood. However, in the Spanish context there is a shortage of interventions aimed at this population that have shown their effectiveness. In carrying out a pilot intervention for the universal family program Aprender a Convivir en Casa (ACC) with a Spanish population, the objective of this study was to ascertain its effectiveness in developing social competence and in reducing behavioral problems in preschoolers. Method. The sample involved 18 parents, all with children in early childhood education aged from 3 to 5 years old (Mage = 4.48 years, SDage = 0.50) from a school in Granada (Spain). 9 were placed in the experimental group and 9 in the control group. Participants were allocated to groups by accidental and non-probability sampling. The children in the experimental group were assigned to this group if their parents had attended more than 80% of the program sessions. Results. The results indicate both a main effect of the time variable (pre-test and post-test) and interaction effects between time x group variables (control and experimental) in the variables of social cooperation, social interaction and for social competence as a whole, with the experimental group obtaining higher scores in the post-test phase. With regard to behavior problems, the results show main and interaction effects in attention problems and in externalizing behavior problems. In the other variables analyzed, no significant main or interaction effects were found. Discussion and Conclusions. Intervention with families is an important protective factor in the prevention of behavioral problems. The results observed after the pilot implementation of the ACC program are promising, in that they show the promotion of social competence and the reduction of some behavioral problems in children from the participating families. However, there are some limitations in the study that need to be taken into consideration.
