Este artículo analiza el contexto de la aprobación por la Asamblea Regional de Murcia, en abril de 2019, de un Proyecto de reforma del Estatuto murciano que profundizaba en el reforzamiento de la identidad murciana, y se refería al patrimonio lingüístico autóctono y a una mínima pero cierta idea de protección y reconocimiento de este. Sin embargo, en diciembre de 2021, los avatares de la política murciana han hecho que el texto embarrancara y que, al final, no prospere. Incluso la Mesa del Congreso de los Diputados ha acabado aceptando esa retirada, si bien se han interpuesto recursos de amparo y un recurso de inconstitucionalidad contra lo anterior, por lo que el tema estudiado podría tener nuevas derivadas. Por el valor del fondo material de lo propugnado en materia lingüística, se describen todos sus aspectos y se ponen en relación con las exigencias de la Constitución (arts. 3.2 y 3.3) y de la Carta Europea de las Lenguas Regionales o Minoritarias, en la Región de Murcia, pese a que, hoy por hoy, no se llevan a efecto.

Extractive fishing is an activity with a long tradition in the coastal areas of Spain dating back to the first human settlements that arose there. Since the incorporation of Spain into the European Economic Community in 1986, this sector has undergone highly relevant transformations. This study seeks to analyze the capture fisheries sector in the Region of Murcia from 1987 to the present day. To do this, basic statistical information has been compiled: census of boats, workers employed, or quantity and value of landed fish. The results reflect a regression in the number of boats and employees in the sector, while the volume and price of catches show year-on-year fluctuations, as a result of the restructuring of the fleet, and an upward trend in the value of catches. It is worth highlighting the advisability of carrying out similar analyses in other territories in order to determine the current situation of fishing in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El presente artículo quiere poner en valor la gran diversidad de fósiles que albergan los sedimentos de Cehegín y sus alrededores. Sus afloramientos han sido referente paleontológico durante muchos años gracias a la gran cantidad de géneros y especies que han aportado. Este trabajo es el fruto de mi pasión por los fósiles como aficionado y mi cariño al pueblo de Cehegín; el destino ha hecho que pueda estar por estas tierras todos los veranos y pueda contribuir en el conocimiento y la conservación de su patrimonio paleontológico.

La mujer rural ha evolucionado en las últimas décadas, siendo considerada actor fundamental para la dinamización del territorio por las políticas de desarrollo rural. En la literatura (Stough, 2016; Bjärstig y Sandström, 2017; Navarro et al., 2018b), se especula que estas políticas, junto con la actividad alternativa a la agricultura, han fomentado que las mujeres se empoderen al emprender y, con ello, dinamicen el medio rural. Para contribuir al conocimiento de la efectividad de las políticas de desarrollo rural se plantea esta investigación en la que se analizan los casos de 11 emprendedoras beneficiarias de políticas LEADER en Murcia (España) desde hace, al menos, quince años. Los resultados indican que el emprendimiento femenino provocó tanto la dinamización del territorio como el desarrollo profesional de las mujeres rurales. Además, se observó que estas políticas atraen a mujeres con características distintivas y que la política LEADER fue determinante para que decidieran convertirse en emprendedoras.

En este artículo trabajaremos sobre los poblados de la Edad del Bronce existentes en el municipio de Cehegín, y cuál es su contexto dentro de la tipología de poblados de la Región de Murcia, en la cultura de El Argar. Posteriormente nos centraremos de manera más individualizada, en el yacimiento del Morro de la Cerámica como caso de estudio, en el que utilizaremos los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, para entender cuál era la relación de este yacimiento con el entorno sobre el que se ubica, a través de dos tipos de análisis, como son el Área de Captación de Recursos (ACR) y el análisis de visibilidad simple.

In the south-eastern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula, there has been a succession of ways of organising the irrigators who receive water from the same intake (inheritance of water, community of owners, civil society of goods, board of users, community of irrigators, etc.). These are models of governance in the management of a scarce resource such as water for irrigation. The research is a regional, diachronic and comparative study of the use of water for irrigation in the Region of Murcia, in which the loss of autonomy and self-management of irrigators in the administration of water is analysed, to be finally supervised by the State through the hydrographic confederations. It is a case study of traditional historical irrigation systems in Calasparra, Molina de Segura, Librilla, Fortuna and Abanilla. An extensive search for original sources has been carried out in the archives of heredamientos and irrigation communities, in those of several municipalities, and in those of the Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura. Fieldwork in the irrigation perimeters and interviews with water collection and distribution managers have allowed us to discover the singularities of the governance between farmers and irrigators, as well as the features of the cultural landscapes constructed by these water uses.

Las vías pecuarias son un legado histórico y cultural destacado. La Región de Murcia cuenta con un buen número de estas. Conocer sobre el carácter patrimonial de las mismas y elementos asociados es una cuestión de interés. Para ello se analiza la red de vías pecuarias, anexos y elementos próximos existentes en la Región de Murcia. Además de su posible calificación como caminos paisajísticos regionales. Estas infraestructuras cuentan con un destacado valor patrimonial, dotándolas de atractivo turístico y convirtiéndolas en un recurso complementario de la oferta turística regional. Dado que discurren por todo el territorio regional permiten el acercamiento a la gran diversidad de paisajes con que cuenta la Región, así como el desplazamiento por los mismos, de ahí que se justifique su denominación como caminos paisajísticos regionales. Abstract The paths for livestock are a remarkable historical and cultural legacy. The Region of Murcia has a good number of these. Knowing about the patrimonial nature of the same and associated elements is a matter of interest. To this end, the net work of livestock trails, annexes and nearby elements exiting in the Region of Murcia is analyzed. In addition to its possible qualification as regional landscape roads. These infrastructures have an outstanding patrimonial value, endowing them with tourist attraction and turning them into tourist resource complementary to the regional tourist offer. Since they run throughout the regional territory allow the approach to the great diversity of landscapes that the Region has, as well as the displacement by them, hence its name is justified as regional landscape roads.

In this paper we shall address the Murcian language that appears in several novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Region of Murcia in order to verify if it constitutes a real sample of the Spanish language spoken in Murcia. To achieve this aim, we shall carry out a historical review to understand the origin of Murcian regionalism and the intellectual movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century. The regionalism born in Murcia in the nineteenth century is a twofold phenomenon, namely, both a political and cultural regionalism. Political regionalism, on the one hand, will be related to the Canton of Cartagena, a federalist insurrection that took place on July 12, 1783 whose goal was to proclaim itself as an independent canton. Cultural regionalism, on the other hand, is intimately tied to the association of the Murcian dialect with the so-called panocho, satirical speech of the Huerta de Murcia among whose predecessors include: Pedro Díaz Cassou, José Martínez Tornel and Andrés Blanco y García. This cultural and intellectual movement aims at promoting a regional identity of Murcia, mainly focusing on a linguistic identity and Murcia's customs and traditions. In addition, it will be worth stressing the great the importance of social stratification in explaining the regional and linguistic identity, since most of Murcia's society came from rural environments with a low level of education. Finally, we also mean to provide a considerable amount of reliable linguistic data which contributes to the studies on the nineteenth-century Spanish language, one of the most little studied within the discipline of History of the Spanish Language.

It is about making visible and showing the characteristics of the biological families of the boys and girls who are adopted in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia between the period 1987-2007. To verify these data, an exhaustive study of a total of 29 adoption files provided by the General Directorate of Families, as well as 4 interviews with adoptive parents. They constitute a sample and a significant example of the characteristics and social traits of biological families. Through case studies, we reflect on whether they have been excluded from the adoption process due to the characterization that emerges from them, as they are framed in serious problematic contexts that accentuate the risk that the minors entail living in these families.

En este trabajo se han estudiado 1.047 ejemplares pertenecientes a 31 especies de isópodos terrestres de la Comunidad Valenciana y de la Región de Murcia y se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica de todas las citas anteriores de ambas regiones. Como resultado del estudio, la fauna conocida de isópodos de la Comunidad Valenciana está formada por 55 especies, de ellas 10 son endémicas, 36 se encuentran en la provincia de Alicante, 27 en Valencia, 25 en Castellón y en la Región de Murcia 22, 1 de ellas endémica. Para las 60 especies tratadas, se facilita su distribución en cada una de las regiones y su distribución general en el área iberobalear. Se citan tres especies por primera vez para la Comunidad Valenciana, y otras siete especies para alguna de sus provincias. Asimismo se citan tres especies por primera vez para la Región de Murcia.

Rural women have evolved in recent decades, being considered a fundamental actor for the revitalization of the territory by rural development policies. In the literature (Stough, 2016; Bjärstig y Sandström, 2017; Navarro et al., 2018b), it is speculated that these policies, together with the alternative activity to agriculture, have encouraged women to become empowered by start a business and, with their activity, energize the rural environment. In order to contribute to the knowledge of the effectiveness of rural development policies, this research is proposed in which the cases of eleven female entrepreneurs benefiting from LEADER policies in Murcia (Spain) at least fifteen years ago are analyzed. The results indicate that female entrepreneurship caused both the dynamization of the territory and the professional development of rural women. In addition, it was observed that these policies attract women with distinctive characteristics and that the LEADER policy was decisive for them to decide to become entrepreneurs.

El uso de los datos climáticos de más de 90 observatorios meteorológicos repartidos en la Región de Murcia, ha permitido tener una muestra muy heterogénea de las temperaturas máximas, teniendo en cuenta distintos entornos, tanto urbanos, como naturales. La relación entre los avisos emitidos por altas temperaturas y su comparativa con los valores finalmente observados ha permitido poder aplicar unos índices de verificación, que en algunos casos han tenido que ser modificados para su correcta aplicación, los cuales reflejan una notable sobreestimación de estas alertas, así como una mejora en el número de aciertos en los últimos años. La realización de la cartografía ha permitido localizar e identificar cuáles son las áreas donde existe, tanto una mayor anomalía térmica, como una menor incidencia de los distintos índices de verificación, pudiendo servir de ayuda para una revisión o mejora de los umbrales y zonificación de los avisos meteorológicos en esta provincia.

El artículo estudia la forma en que las bibliotecas públicas comunican su actividad al entorno. Se pretende conocer qué canales y medios de comunicación se emplean, qué se comunica o contenido de la comunicación, cuándo se realiza esta comunicación y la gestión de la misma. Se trata parcialmente la protección de datos de los usuarios de la biblioteca. Para ello, se realiza un doble acercamiento, primero teórico y posteriormente práctico. Este se lleva a cabo mediante una encuesta a bibliotecas públicas de la Región de Murcia. Se estima que la muestra resulta representativa de la realidad media de estos centros en el entorno español. El tratamiento de los resultados es más cualitativo que cuantitativo. Se concluye la necesidad de planificar la comunicación. Igualmente, las bibliotecas deben ampliar la variedad de los canales de comunicación y mejorar ésta con prescriptores e interesados.

Las Relaciones Intergubernamentales son un factor constitutivo de la mayoría de las políticas públicas, también en el caso de la política del transporte, y su análisis ha permitido integrar el pluralismo institucional y territorial en el estudio de los procesos de decisión e implementación de políticas públicas, con el objeto de analizar el papel de los distintos actores y de sus mecanismos de interacción y articulación existentes. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las causas que influyeron en la creación de la Entidad Pública del Transporte y evaluar su funcionamiento para conocer las razones que expliquen su desaparición prestando especial atención a la influencia de las Relaciones Intergubernamentales.

Landscape is a multidisciplinary element in which the field of heritage has become a contribution that has helped support its cultural values with an enhanced status, amongst which those related to industry have gained importance. The Region of Murcia preserves a rich and significant industrial landscape, the legacy of the mining operations of Cartagena-La Unión and Mazarrón, for which a series of measures have been taken to safeguard and consolidate it as a heritage reference. The objective of this study is to analyse them, consider their implementation and study their impact in order to determine how effective they have been. For this reason, a specific file has been created and used to determine its current status, a point that has been completed with a SWOT analysis that has highlighted the main aspects that influence its current situation. A previous dissertation that focused on these issues, aimed at putting the landscape contributions of industrial heritage into context. The results obtained show that what has been carried out is not enough to conserve them and that new action must be taken to reverse the situation generated by inefficient decisions and delayed proposals.

An investigation is presented on the situation of water gallery systems, of the horizontal mine type with vertical wells, in the Region of Murcia. The work is based on the hypothesis regarding the gradual deterioration of these complexes, an exponent of the hydraulic heritage generated in this territory over the centuries. The main objective is to analyze the state of these constructions and determine their current functionality. Through the fieldwork, the consultation of different sources of information such as Segura Hydrographic Confederation and the results presented by the specialized literature, the initial hypothesis is corroborated, since more than half of the water galleries are shown unused and in a state of ruin, affected by the overexploitation of aquifers and abandonment of the rural environment. However, the functional systems add an annual flow of 13 Hm³, a quite significant figure in a area with semiarid climate and scarce surface resources. These resources continue to maintain various traditional irrigation areas in a sustainable way and constitute an indicator of the environmental quality that different spaces in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula still retain.

The use of climatic data from more than 90 meteorological observatories distributed in the Region of Murcia, has allowed me to have a very heterogeneous sample of maximum temperatures, taking into account different environments, both urban and natural. The relationship between warnings issued by high temperatures and their comparison with the values finally observed has allowed us to apply verification indexes, which in some cases have had to be modified for their correct application, which reflect a significant overestimation of these alerts, as well as an improvement in the number of correct answers in recent years. Carrying out the cartography has made it possible to locate and identify the areas where there is a greater thermal anomaly, as well as those areas where there is a lower incidence of the different verification indexes, and may help to review or improve the thresholds and zoning of meteorological warnings in this province.

The article studies the way in which public libraries communicate their activity to the environment. The objective is to clarify what channels and media are used, what is communicated -content of the communication-, when this communication is carried out and the management of the process. The data protection of the users of the library is partially treated. A double approach, theoretical and practical, is made to achieve the objectives. The practical one is carried out through a survey of public libraries in the Region of Murcia. It is estimated that the sample is representative of the average reality of these centers in the Spanish environment. The treatment of the results is more qualitative than quantitative. The need to plan communication is concluded. Likewise, libraries should expand the variety of their communication channels and improve this with opinion leaders and stakeholders.

In this dissertation, the main traditional water collection systems located in the highlands of Lorca are analysed. Catchment mills of a draining gallery or qanat type were used for local drinking and irrigation supply. However, for centuries the flow of some outcrops enabled part of the waters to be used to supply the population in the capital - using kilometres of distribution networks. Fieldwork and archival documentation have been essential in this investigation, which highlights the effort of communities settled in a semi-arid territory with limited surface resources. The results show the existence of numerous water galleries, with elements and functions similar to other examples in the southeast of Spain, although with unique spatial and historical factors. It is not possible to understand the configuration of this rural landscape without considering the territorial influence played by these horizontal gallery systems. In many cases, these constructions remain functional and maintained by the local population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The heavy rains on December 17-18, 2016 were one of the most significant events that have occurred in southeastern Spain over the last two decades. In the present study the incidence of these rains in the Region of Murcia, and especially in the Mar Menor watershed, is analyzed, with particular focus on the flooded areas. The synoptic situation and the atmospheric dynamics were studied through monitoring of different METEOSAT´s satellite bands, images from weather radars and data from atmospheric soundings. A map showing the accumulated rainfall during the event and another one concerning the pluviometric anomaly of December 2016 in comparison with the average for this month in the period from 1981 to 2010 were produced using precipitation data of 129 weather stations belonging to different organizations. The maximum precipitation reached in 1 and 12 hours for a total of 64 stations was also analyzed, in relation to the thresholds and alarm levels which are established by AEMET. Finally, two hydrometeorological methods, the SCS Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph -SCS DUH- and the Témez’s Unit Hydrograph Method -TUH-, were used in order to estimate the flood-peak discharges in ephemeral streams flowing to the Mar Menor, which led to flooding in the Alcazares area. In accordance with the more consistent results of SCS DUH, the flood-peak discharges caused in this area by the Albujón and Maraña ramblas were estimated to be around 820 and 258 m3/s respectively.

The Intergovernmental Relations are a constitutive factor of the majority of the public policies, also in case of the politics of the transport, and his analysis has allowed to integrate the institutional and territorial pluralism in the study of the processes of decision and implementation of public policies, in order to analyze the paper of the different actors and of his existing mechanisms of interaction and joint. The aim of this article is to analyze the reasons that influenced the creation of the Public Entity of the Transport and to evaluate his functioning to know the reasons that explain his disappearance paying particular attention to the influence of the Intergovernmental Relations.

Objetivo: Realizar un análisis coste-utilidad del consejo médico para dejar de fumar en la Región de Murcia. Diseño: Se realiza un análisis coste-utilidad del consejo médico para dejar de fumar versus la no intervención. Se utiliza un modelo de Markov para estimar los costes (en euros de 2014), bajo la perspectiva del financiador público, y los resultados en salud. Estos se medirán en años de vida ajustados por calidad (AVAC). El horizonte temporal del análisis es de 20 años, y los costes y resultados en salud se descontarán al 3%. Se realiza un análisis de sensibilidad determinístico univariante y multivariante. Emplazamiento: Región de Murcia. Participantes: Fumadores de la Región de Murcia. Intervenciones: Consejo médico breve para dejar de fumar. Mediciones principales: Años de vida ajustados por calidad (AVAC). Resultados: Con un horizonte de 5 años (2018), el ratio coste-utilidad incremental se situaría en 172.400 € por AVAC ganado; con un horizonte de 10 años (2023), en 30.300 € por AVAC ganado, y con el horizonte máximo de 20 años considerado por el modelo, en 7.260 € por AVAC ganado. Conclusiones: A largo plazo, el consejo breve médico es una intervención más eficiente que a corto plazo y, dependiendo del umbral coste-utilidad para España, se recomendaría su financiación pública desde el punto de vista de la eficiencia.

Desde el año 2008 el Convenio Europeo del Paisaje de 2000 (CEP2000) está en vigor en España, lo que compromete a su cumplimiento. Las competencias en materia de paisaje en el caso español, están transferidas a las comunidades autónomas. Teniendo, estas, la obligación de cumplir, hacer cumplir y desarrollar en sus respectivos ámbitos administrativos el CEP2000. La Región de Murcia no es ajena a esta situación por lo que la administración regional ha generado diversos documentos (administrativo-jurídicos) relacionados con el CEP2000. Estos son: Estrategia del Paisaje, Atlas de los Paisajes, Estudios Comarcales de Paisaje y Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística. En este trabajo se revisa y analiza la documentación institucional, administrativa y legislativa que pueda constituir un marco teórico-referencial para la protección, gestión y ordenación del paisaje de la Región de Murcia. Teniendo en cuenta para ello textos internacionales, nacionales y autonómicos. Se ha constatado la existencia de suficiente documentación para el establecimiento de un mínimo marco-referencial que permita un tratamiento adecuado del paisaje. Se aprecia la evolución desde una concepción sectorial del paisaje a una actual más holística. Es destacable la puesta al día de la Región de Murcia, mediante la reciente aprobación (2015) de una ley donde se recogen las cuestiones sobre el paisaje.AbstractSince 2008 the European Landscape Convention 2000 (CEP2000) is in force in Spain, which commits to its fulfillment. The landscape competences in the Spanish case are transferred to the autonomous communities. Having, these, the obligation to fulfill, enforce and develop in their respective administrative areas the CEP2000. The Region of Murcia is not foreign to this situation so the regional administration has generated various documents (administrative-legal) related to the CEP2000. These are: Landscape Strategy, Landscape Atlas, Landscape Regional Studies and Land and Urban Planning Law. This paper reviews and analyzes the institutional, administrative and legislative documentation that can constitute a theoretical-referential framework for the protection, management and landscape management of the Region of Murcia. Taking into account international, national and regional texts. It has been verified the existence of sufficient documentation for the establishment of a minimum frame-reference that allows an appropriate treatment of the landscape. We can see the evolution from a sectoral conception of the landscape to a more holistic one. It is remarkable the updating of the Region of Murcia, through the recent approval (2015) of a law where the questions on the landscape are collected.

En este artículo se examina la fotografía contemporánea de la Región de Murcia a través de la faceta creativa de la fotógrafa María Manzanera encuadrada entre las décadas de los años setenta y ochenta. Se trata de una de las pocas fotógrafas que trabajan en ese período en la Región y cuyas contribuciones a la fotografía son de notable importancia a pesar de que no hayan sido estudiadas en profundidad hasta la fecha. La obra fotográfica de María Manzanera es caracterizada por una prolífica y heterogénea producción, ya que tiene numerosos proyectos sobre temas variados: retratos, macrofotografía, figura humana, fotografía de calle y naturaleza. Para estudiar su fotografía, queda estructurada temática y cronológicamente, por lo que son analizadas desde sus primeras creaciones hasta las más recientes. A pesar del carácter individual de sus creaciones, éstas se encuadran dentro de un determinado marco geográfico-temporal en el que desarrollan su obra una escasa lista de fotógrafas en la que María no queda representada. De ahí que el objetivo principal de este texto sea dar a conocer su obra creativa y sus aportaciones al medio fotográfico.

Durante la década de 1970 se constituyó en España un movimiento social por la planificación familiar. En este proceso confluyeron intereses sociales, políticos y científico-sanitarios cuyos resultados fueron la despenalización de los anticonceptivos, prohibidos en España desde 1941, y el desarrollo de infraestructuras que facilitaran su accesibilidad a todas las mujeres. Una de las características de este proceso fue la diversidad regional de modelos en el origen, desarrollo y consolidación de los centros de planificación familiar. La investigación que se propone pretende describir y analizar el caso de la Región de Murcia como ejemplo de este proceso en la periferia española, con sus singularidades y similitudes en el contexto nacional. El estudio se centra en el periodo 1976-1980, dentro de la primera fase del movimiento de planificación familiar en nuestro país cuando se consigue la legalización de todos los métodos anticonceptivos.

The objective of this work has been to determine that human settlements in the Jumilla-Yecla Altiplano region of the Murcia Region can be classified as rural population groups. This question is of interest within the scope of the Territorial Ordinance Guidelines of the region. To do this, flow diagrams were devised, with conditions such as: being a population nucleus and being located in rural areas, which had to comply with the human settlements studied -exception of the archaeological sites-. Only nine elements were qualified as villages, among the forty-nine cases studied. This work has allowed a first approximation to the definition-determination of rural population in the study area.

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una aproximación a la percepción que tienen los trabajadores del campo de la Región de Murcia sobre el sistema de formación continua implantado en dicha Comunidad Autónoma. Se ha realizado una encuesta a una muestra de estos trabajadores. Destaca la deficiente formación básica reglada de estos trabajadores tanto de los titulares individuales de explotación como de los asalariados. Se observa una carencia general de formación específica. Además, se debe incidir en la escasa valoración que los propios trabajadores hacen de la formación continua ya que la mayoría declara realizarla por imperativo legal.
