Historic centers have suffered different processes of neglect, occupation, segregation, gentrification, and touristification as a result of changes in demand and policies. Currently, they are going through a homogenization process motivated by tourist pressure, which is causing the expulsion of the local population ; this is a common topic of interest for media and political agendas, which requires scientific analysis. This research aims at identifying the winning and the losing tourist groups in the historic center of Seville. It is structured in two parts: a conceptual one based on the bibliographic review with which one wants to know how the current society responds to tourist pressure through defining and characterizing the processes of substitution of uses and inhabitants, and another empirical one in which the analysis of statistical indicators (demographic, economic, and residential) treated with Geographic Information System (GIS) allows us to measure the degree of existing vulnerability and analyze social and spatial effects caused by the tourism in Seville.

Purpose
The current "Anthropocene" epoch has witnessed an imbalanced global change, but it is an opportunity to design a better and sustainable future. Sustainability criteria need to be fully implemented in political institutions, companies and universities. Moreover, sustainable pedagogies must accompany the process in terms of students' professional competences to overcome crisis situations. This paper aims to evaluate geography degrees in Spain to corroborate whether students and teachers consider that students are prepared to address the challenges of global change.


Design/methodology/approach
The research is focused on the sustainable development goals (SDGs), a clear and easily identifiable framework for society that reflects the principles of the UN 2030 Agenda. A statistically validated questionnaire answered by 319 respondents has been used. Data analysis with descriptive and inferential techniques was performed.


Findings
The results show that geography degrees do not meet the needs of students, for whom career opportunities will be related to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda; there are significant gaps between the perception of teachers and students; some geographical topics are undervalued; SDGs are more present in optional subjects; and there is a need to "sustain" the curriculum, following this highly valued framework.


Originality/value
Geography educative programs had scarcely been empirically evaluated to check a sustainability framework implementation. This research provides innovative and unprecedented self-assessment results from higher education agents, in an empirical and statistically validated way.

Like other tourism subsectors, guided tours have been affected by the emergence of the sharing economy. Although this subsector of tourism is not as well known, it constitutes an interesting scenario for studying these new business models and it is also generating debate. This article analyses the uniqueness of the tourist guide services provided through online platforms under the name of free tours. The study includes a bibliographical revision and it is carried out from a qualitative methodology based on a survey conducted among tourist guide professionals and in-depth interviews. The study analyses the point of view of professionals in the guiding sector from 11 European cities subject to common regulations. It aims to determine how they are affected by the free tours as well as to assess their relationship with this new activity, a complex relationship with many controversial elements in terms of labour, tax and organisation. It will be shown that the free tours respond to the trends of contemporary society but are not an expression of the collaborative consumption among equals, but rather an effective marketing strategy. ; 'Transformations of the historical urban landscape induced by tourism: contradictions and controversies, government and local governance' (CSO2016-75470-R), which forms part of the National Programme for Research, Development and Innovation aimed at the Challenges of Society.

Se analiza la producción científica dedicada al estudio de los principales aspectos territoriales y socioeconómicos de la red de la alta velocidad española, con el objetivo de comprender su evolución y las temáticas abordadas. Los resultados, estructurados por disciplinas, avalan la hipótesis de que en España la relación entre el AVE y el turismo ha sido todavía poco estudiada, pese a su interés científico y político. Por ello, se presenta como una importante línea de investigación que ha de abordar la definición de una serie de preguntas, que deben ser resueltas en colaboración entre expertos de diferentes áreas que aporten distintas perspectivas y metodologías. ; The scientific production, which focused on the study of the main territorial and socioeconomic issues of the Spanish High-speed rail network, is analyzed in depth. This research aims to understand its evolution and designated topics. The results, classified by disciplines, support the hypothesis that in Spain the relationship between High-speed rail and tourism has yet to be thoroughly studied, despite its scientific and political interest. For this reason, future research must tackle a variety of questions which must be addressed through a collaboration of experts from different areas that contribute to different perspectives and methodologies.
