The main objective of this study is to present a teaching–learning experience carried out before the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze its usefulness in times of social and academic restrictions, as well as its fit into an online teaching format. In recent years, much research has been done on the development and application of new teaching methodologies, but the current health emergency situation means that it is necessary to assess how these methodologies are useful in a context of social distancing. Managing teaching–learning processes following the closure of educational centers due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19 presents a significant challenge, not just in Business Management, but across all subjects. In the context of a pandemic, active methodologies take on greater importance as a way of adapting to new, socially distanced educational needs. This article presents a study carried out among students of Business Management at the University of the Basque Country (Spain). The study focuses on the context of the flipped classroom methodology, with students being asked to rate the effectiveness of this methodology, before and after the pandemic. Following the appearance of the pandemic, opinions have been strengthened in favor of the inverted classroom methodology, which is shown to be a powerful methodological alternative compatible with online teaching. Educational authorities must strengthen the technological tools as well as the teacher skills needed to develop capacities related to the rapid response to current and future teaching challenges.

This paper presents the process of elaboration of a system of indicators designed for and by the social entrepreneurs of the Koopfabrika program in the territory of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country) and the results obtained. This tool, developed through Participatory Action Research methodologies, aims to facilitate the establishment of objectives, criteria and measurement indicators so as to enable new social enterpreneurs in the territory to move towards more transformative forms of social economy. The theoretical approach of this study is mainly framed within the field of Social and Solidarity Economy, more specifically within the Behavioral Theories developed by Dennis Young which gave rise to the concept of social entrepreneurship. The paper aims to provide new knowledge and new perspectives on the motivational logics of social entrepreneurs.

This work gathers an experience carried out during the academic years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 in the Degree in Business Administration and Management in the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (Gipuzkoa section). The main objective of the essay is to reinforce the involvement of students in the learning process and, secondly, to collect their perception of active methodologies for teaching-learning and thus be able to improve their application. To this end, we have used resources that employ the students' mobile phones, specifically the Socrative tool, to respond to online questionnaires, with the aim of reinforcing the motivation and participation of the students, and in the general context of the inverted classroom methodology.

This study aims to analyse the relationship between tourist growth in urban destinations and certain transformations apparent in main recipient cities. Particular attention is paid to the impact of tourism on housing in popular tourist destinations, and on the people who live there. We focus on the case of San Sebastian, in Spain, which is a major tourist destination and, together with Dubrovnik, Venice, Barcelona and Amsterdam, is one of the European cities which has seen a growing concern over mass tourism. Firstly, this study seeks to analyse different research approaches conducted over recent years on the complex relationship between tourism and the rental-housing sector. Secondly, the study examines whether the increase in the intensity of use of the Airbnb platform is related to the price asked when renting a property long-term. The analysis conducted shows that a one standard deviation increase in Airbnb intensity is associated with an increase of 7.3% in rental prices. Our suggestions for urban planners and managers in charge of urban tourist destinations are for greater regulation of tourist accommodation in line with long-term house rentals.

En este artículo se analiza el impacto del turismo en la ciudad de San Sebastián y se analiza la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián como ciudad turística sostenible o sostenible. Así, se han querido explicar los impactos generales y concretos del turismo urbano para el caso de San Sebastián. Al mismo tiempo, de cara a la gestión pública, el planeamiento urbano propuesto se ha analizado a la luz del paradigma de la sostenibilidad.En el primer apartado se ha realizado un análisis amplio y completo de las diferentes consecuencias del turismo: en primer lugar, se ha realizado un análisis del exceso de turismo o del fenómeno “overtourism”, y también se ha recogido la creación de voces críticas derivadas de este fenómeno. En el tercer punto del primer apartado se estudia el impacto del turismo sobre los precios de la vivienda, observando los incrementos en los precios de los alquileres habituales derivados de la presión de los alquileres turísticos.En el segundo apartado se analiza la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián como ciudad turística a través de un análisis documental. Para ello, se ha analizado en profundidad el Plan de Turismo 2017-2021 de Donostia-San Sebastián. El análisis del contenido de este plan también se ha comparado con la planificación de otras ciudades turísticas (Lisboa, Londres y París). Se observa que la sostenibilidad del turismo está interiorizada por primera vez en la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián (y en general de otras ciudades turísticas). No obstante, para analizar si este giro discursivo se representa en la gestión diaria, será necesario medir la percepción de la ciudadanía y de otros agentes diferentes en el futuro.
