El conjunto de trabajos incluido en esta Tesis toma como hilo conductor la importancia de la selección de indicadores socioeconómicos para el análisis de determinadas problemáticas, con una alta repercusión en el bienestar de los ciudadanos. En concreto, se ha trabajado en diferentes niveles territoriales: regiones españolas y europeas, y países africanos. El primero de los trabajos publicados, como se expondrá a continuación, utiliza un indicador unidimensional, mientras que los tres restantes evolucionan mediante el uso de indicadores multidimensionales, más precisos en la captación de forma integral de un fenómeno complejo y dinámico. ; Tesis Univ.

The concentration of tourists at certain times of the year can damage sensitive environments. The use of peer-to-peer vacation rental websites has increased greatly during the last decade. This system could either reduce seasonality in touristic destinations where the tourist activity takes place throughout the year at a lower price or on the contrary, it could increase the number of visitors at certain times of the year even more. This paper intends to analyze the effect that these platforms have on tourism seasonality in order to calculate if they help reduce or increase the pressure on the destinations. To do so, the Gini Index has been applied to one of the main touristic spots in Europe, the Balearic Islands in Spain. The conclusion is that this type of accommodation has aggravated the problem, generating a greater concentration of tourists and a higher pressure on the resources of the islands. ; The authors would like to thank the financial support provided by the Government of Spain (ECO2013-44879-R) and the Regional Government of Andalucía (SEJ-393).

This study proposes construction of a synthetic indicator to measure progress toward the objective of economic and social cohesion among the regions of Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal within the framework of European Community Regional Policy and the spatial disparities among these countries. Our aim is to integrate, in a single indicator, a large number of variables defined by the European Commission to monitor improvements in regional development, classified according to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. To achieve this goal, we use the Pena distance method for the year 2013. ; Financial support provided by the following institutions: the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, the State Research Agency (SRA) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (project reference ECO2017-86822-R).
