“…The urban dimension has also been dealt with using non-official sources such as the portals for sale of used housing belonging to financial institutions. To be exact, using the geo-location of housing for sale by banks, Gutiérrez and Arauzo-Carod (2018) and Delclòs (2016, 2017), for the cases of Tarrasa and Tarragona, as well as Gutiérrez and Domènech (2017a), for Lleida, concluded that evictions have tended to be concentrated in the most disadvantaged districts and the lower-quality housing, a fact which has reinforced the urban inequalities in these cities. Gutiérrez and Domènech (2017b) for Alicante, Murcia and Zaragoza have reached the same conclusions, using as territorial information the housing sold by the SAREB (Asset Management Company from Bank Restructuring).…”

The legal proceedings of real estate dispossession are essential elements in understanding the impact of the economic crisis on Spanish cities. Those that took place between 2009 and 2017 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, their quantitative dimension and their intra-urban distribution are analysed in this study. This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property. In order to achieve this objective, the records of the Common Service of Notifications and Seizures have been used together with data of the Inland Revenue Ministry and Municipal Register, combining statistical and cartographical analysis with the purpose of finding associations and predictive factors. The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population. This tends to confirm that dispossession must be interpreted as the result of mechanisms of capitalist accumulation, which reinforce socio-urban inequalities.

“…Both ANN and Ripley's K-function are best suited to analyzing the type of spatial distributions. They help avoid the modifiable areal unit problem [69] as they treat space as continuous, without constraining data within any regions or units, and, contrary to the quadrat method, they are free from statistical bias caused by data aggregation [70]. Nevertheless, Ripley's K and NN functions describe different aspects of a point process.…”

Geodetic networks provide a spatial reference framework for the positioning of any geographical feature in a common and consistent way. An even spatial distribution of geodetic control points assures good quality for subordinate surveys in mapping, cadaster, engineering activities, and many other land administration-oriented applications. We investigate the spatial pattern of geodetic control points based on GIScience theory, especially Tobler's Laws in Geography. The study makes contributions in both the research and application fields. By utilizing Average Nearest Neighbor, multi-distance spatial cluster analysis, and cluster and outlier analysis, it introduces the comprehensive methodology for ex post analysis of geodetic control points' spatial patterns as well as the quantification of geodetic networks' uniformity to regularly dense and regularly thinned. Moreover, it serves as a methodological resource and reference for the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography, not only the maintenance, but also the further densification or modernization the geodetic network in Poland. Furthermore, the results give surveyors the ability to quickly assess the availability of geodetic points, as well as identify environmental obstacles that may hamper measurements. The results show that the base geodetic control points are evenly dispersed (one point over 50 sq. km), however they tend to cluster slightly in urbanized areas and forests (1.3 and 1.4 points per sq. km, respectively).Hence, the base geodetic control points (thereinafter refed as BGCPs) are of utmost importance for georeferencing of manuscripts of historical maps [11,18,19] or images from unmanned aerial vehicles [20].Geodetic control points should cover an area relatively evenly to enable accurate and cost-effective measurements [21][22][23]. Although there is a variety of studies considering the design and densification of geodetic control networks [16,24,25] as well as investigating the influence of topographic objects that hinder the visibility of the horizon, interfere with satellite signals, and, finally, affect the quality of geodetic control stations' positioning [26][27][28], a profound analysis of the spatial pattern of geodetic control points still requires investigation. The problem of geospatial distribution of geodetic control points was previously discussed in several publications [29][30][31]. However, these studies were concerned with the detail (third-order) of geodetic network point analyses in relatively small (less than 200 sq. km) rural areas. The results, related to surveying units and then grouped according to land use types, showed that geodetic control points are scattered with significantly visible groupings along roads, railways, and built-up areas. Moreover, the number and density of geodetic control points depend on the development of the area in question, and 35% to 50% depend on the land cover, mainly in locations of built-up areas, roads, and railways [30,31].The density of geodetic control points is specified by the National Map...

“…It is estimated that around 30% of these properties derive from dispossession processes (not necessarily judicial ones). This fact has given rise to a series of geographical studies on the cities of Lleida [28], Tarragona, Terrassa and Salt [29][30][31], Alicante, Murcia and Zaragoza [32]; Madrid [33] as well as the total of housing properties owned by SAREB in all Spanish municipalities [34]. With a similar approach, some insights offered from other fields are also worth mentioning, as is the case of Raya [35], whose research focuses on the autonomous communities of Madrid and Valencia.…”

Foreclosures and Evictions in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria during the Economic Crisis and Post-Crisis Period in Spain

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the number of foreclosures and evictions increased dramatically in Spain. The severe economic situation and the lack of mitigation measures by public institutions seemed to be the main causes. However, the start of a period of economic recovery since 2014 has meant that the number of the evictions continues to increase. In this article, we analyze in detail this phenomenon in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Based on the disaggregated judicial data on the records of ejections and transfer of possession by foreclosures and evictions for the period 2009–2017, we carry out a study according to judicial procedures and proceedings and nature of the parties affected from a time-based and spatial perspective. This information allows us to discern that the causes that have led to the loss of housing are more varied than expected; that these circumstances have affected both societies and individuals, diverging on the period of incidence; and that the loss of housing has a different spatial impact in each stage. We conclude that both dispossession and loss of use are two structural occurrences coherent with the capitalist model of secondary accumulation developed in the world in the last 20 years. In the case of Spain, we have recognized these phases and modes of accumulation beyond the incidence of the crisis, revealing the structural character of the phenomenon analyzed.
