Este artículo caracteriza el asociacionismo vecinal en las ciudades medias andaluzas (entre 20 mil y 50 mil habitantes) haciendo especial hincapié en los rasgos fundamentales de su funcionamiento interno, así como en las formas y el grado de su articulación externa. A continuación explora la relevancia de dos factores que entendíamos potencialmente significativos para comprender la diversidad interna en el asociacionismo vecinal: (1) las diferencias/similitudes socio-económico-culturales de las localidades estudiadas, y (2) las formas y signos del gobierno local en cada municipio. Con todo ello pretendemos una aproximación a las asociaciones de vecinos andaluzas y a los factores que nos ayuden a comprender su carácter y papel en la vida social, cuestiones potencialmente trasladables a otros contextos y asociacionismos. ; In this paper we characterize the neighbourhood associations in the Andalusian medium size cities (between 20 thousand and 50 thousand inhabitants) doing special emphasis in the fundamental characteristics of its internal operation as well as in the forms and the degree of its external social articulation. Subsequently we explore the importance of two factors that we think potentially significant to understand the internal diversity in the Andalusian neighbourhood associations: (1) the socio-economic and cultural differences and similarities among the studied cities, and (2) the forms and signs of the local government in each municipality. With all this elements we intend an approximation to the Andalusian neighbourhood associations and to the factors that help us to understand their character and role in the social life, potentially transferable questions to other contexts and associationisms.

The ecosystem services framework has enabled the broader public to acknowledge the benefits nature provides to different stakeholders. However, not all stakeholders benefit equally from these services. Rather, power relationships are a key factor influencing the access of individuals or groups to ecosystem services. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the "cascade" framework for ecosystem services to integrate the analysis of ecological interactions among ecosystem services and stakeholders' interactions, reflecting power relationships that mediate ecosystem services flows. We illustrate its application using the floodplain of the River Piedra (Spain) as a case study. First, we used structural equation modelling (SEM) to model the dependence relationships among ecosystem services. Second, we performed semi-structured interviews to identify formal power relationships among stakeholders. Third, we depicted ecosystem services according to stakeholders' ability to use, manage or impair ecosystem services in order to expose how power relationships mediate access to ecosystem services. Our results revealed that the strongest power was held by those stakeholders who managed (although did not use) those keystone ecosystem properties and services that determine the provision of other services (i.e., intermediate regulating and final services). In contrast, non-empowered stakeholders were only able to access the remaining non-excludable and non-rival ecosystem services (i.e., some of the cultural services, freshwater supply, water quality, and biological control). In addition, land stewardship, access rights, and governance appeared as critical factors determining the status of ecosystem services. Finally, we stress the need to analyse the role of stakeholders and their relationships to foster equal access to ecosystem services ; MFL was awarded a grant by the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council, www.csic.es) under the JAE‐predoc program (JAE-Pre-2010-044), co-financed by the European Social Fund (http://ec.europa.eu/esf/home.jsp).

Entre 1978 y 1989 se crea en Andalucía un modelo de conservación ambiental que se convertirá en referente a nivel estatal e internacional. Será el resultado de un complejo proceso político marcado por tendencias contradictorias (tránsito del franquismo al parlamentarismo, del centralismo al autonomismo), activismo social-ambientalista y pugnas entre corporativismos disciplinarios (biología, ingeniería, geografía). A partir de entrevistas cualitativas, fuentes hemerográficas y documentales, explicamos este modelo, su visión y dispositivos como un marco político-administrativo que surge de relaciones personales y de la confrontación entre corrientes dentro del partido de gobierno en Andalucía (PSOE) en el contexto de un ascenso de las demandas y el movimiento ecologistas.
