“…In recent years, escape rooms have become one of the leading leisure activities around the globe [1]. According to [2], escape rooms can be defined as ''live-action teambased games where players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal (usually escaping from the room) in a limited amount of time''.…”

In addition to being a well-liked form of recreation, escape rooms have drawn the attention of educators due to their ability to foster teamwork, leadership, creative thinking, and communication in a way that is engaging for students. As a consequence, educational escape rooms are emerging as a new type of learning activity under the promise of enhancing students' learning through highly engaging experiences. These activities consist of escape rooms that incorporate course materials within their puzzles in such a way that students are required to master these materials in order to succeed. Although several studies have reported on the use of escape rooms in a wide range of disciplines, prior research falls short of addressing the use of educational escape rooms for teaching programming, one of the most valuable skills of the twentyfirst century that students often have difficulties grasping. This paper reports on the use of an educational escape room in a programming course at a higher education institution and provide, for the first time, insights on the instructional effectiveness of using educational escape rooms for teaching programming. The results of this paper show that appropriate use of educational escape rooms can have significant positive impacts on student engagement and learning in programming courses. These results also suggest that students prefer these activities over traditional computer laboratory sessions. Finally, another novel contribution of this paper is a set of recommendations and proposals for educators in order to help them create effective educational escape rooms for teaching programming.

“…[16], [17]. It is a model that developers and governments advocate as an innovative approach to development, arguing its capacity to de-seasonalize and diversify the tourist industry [18]. However, doubts about its validity have arisen due to impacts such as increased local social inequality, reduction of cultural diversity, privatisation and avoidance of positive impacts combined with socialisation of negative ones, etc.…”

The first phase of any socio-environmental impact assessment is the detailed investigation of the context where the project is to be carried out. How best to articulate this context into socioenvironmental dimensions and indicators has long been the subject of complex debates in the field. This paper attempts to advance this articulation, suggesting a number of contextual indicators based on the principal theories embracing environmental multidimensionality in measuring systems. We discuss the indicators chosen and the issues encountered in building this approach. Subsequently we assess the capacity of this set of contextual indicators to afford insights into the particularities of the golf-coursebased tourist-urban development model (GBP). We set out to test the hypothesis that local contexts can be distinguished from each other via the impacts of the GBP model. To this end we perform a main components analysis of 16 socio-environment context indicators, using municipal data from a total of 59 coastal municipalities, i.e. the whole coast of Andalusia (Spain). Our findings show with acceptable clarity that the local socio-environmental context is marked by the development of GBP, revealing a battery of factors that, in the geopolitical area studied (Spain, south-west Europe), are especially sensitive to this type of tourist-urban development. Keywords: socio-environmental impact assessment, development projects, golf, tourism, local context analysis, Spain. INTRODUCTIONAmong the salient issues which any socio-environmental impact assessment study (SEIA) has to address is the complexity of the context where the project (road, hydro-electric dam/ plant, mining development, etc.) will be carried out. In-depth knowledge of this context is essential for appropriate impact assessment, since each development project is distinct from all others: differences in scope or field, type of project, size, location, etc., make no two schemes identical.The gradual increase of SIA studies in projects has placed the issue of complexity on the decision-makers' table. Currently SIAs are shifting from a positivist, engineering-based model towards a constructivist one [1], i.e. from a type of research design based on the application of general, standardised models (a deductive approach) towards one which is more tailor-made for each project, laying more stress on the phases of detailed exploration of the social context (geographical, sociological, historical, economic, demographic, cultural, etc.) and embracing participatory methodologies which bring stakeholders into the actual design and implementation of the project. However, developers, public administrators and politicians (the principal decision-makers) all share the prevailing engineering-based model of analysis, with its practitioners and traditional methodological grounding [2]. In the end, it is the scientific-technological models which, in our global culture, are legitimised to address social and historical problems. Thus, a clear challenge arises for SEIA: how to...

“…The data presented here evidence the promotion of residential and hotel development targeted at exclusive clients. It also shows how golf courses are angled towards a 'golf-tourism' format [26] which does not provide sufficient social or economic benefits for the local community. These risk factors in GBPs have been clearly pointed out in studies carried out worldwide [14,29].…”

In this paper, we present some results extracted from a social impact study carried out on a golf-based tourism development project (GBP). A phronetic approach is adopted, underpinned by case study methodology. The main objective of the article is to shed some light on the debate over the profitability of GBPs. To this end, firstly, we define GBP and briefly set out the sociological and economic reasons for their growth. Secondly, we describe the specific case studied and our analytical approach, based on (1) analysis of the financial balance and prospects of the business in question, and (2) qualitative analysis of the views of local stakeholders. Discussion of our data enables us to assess to what extent a GBP can be deemed beneficial or not, highlighting the need for holistic, multidimensional and locally-based analysis to suitably evaluate GBPs as an appropriate model for sustainable development.
