Synopsis

In this compilation, the authors analyze how urban sustainability characteristics influence tourists when choosing a destination. The results suggest the relevance of using online and social media to improve tourists’ awareness of the multidimensional nature of urban sustainability, while attracting younger and well-informed visitors. The formation of the working class in Catalonia bears a clear migratory imprint. In the second half of the 20th century migrant workers came from the south of Spain, and in the last 15 years they have come from non-European countries. This compilation aims to determine to what extent older migrants identify with newer migrants by comparing two Catalan working-class areas with a markedly different politics of memory, and showing how this affects possibilities of identification between old and new migrants. The closing article points out that the authors of the most comprehensive monographs on the prehistory of Cyprus almost completely ignored its northwestern part. However, this area, judging from the results of both earlier and recent research, cannot be considered terra inhabitata, since it was settled at least from the Late Neolithic period to the end of the Bronze Age. The authors suggest that these deficiencies mislead the potential reader, especially less familiar with archaeology of the island. (Nova)
