Abstract
Il contributo analizza la migrazione internazionale dei pensionati
dell’Europa del nord in Spagna e la sua influenza sull’espansione del
relativo sprawl urbano. I temi chiave indagati includono l’espansione
dello sprawl urbano durante la bolla immobiliare spagnola e la
relazione tra lo stile di vita dei migranti e lo sviluppo dello sprawl
urbano. Il contributo considera le motivazioni del trasferimento in
Spagna che sono prevalentemente collegate con il clima e lo stile
di vita. Esplora anche i vantaggi e gli svantaggi di queste migrazioni
di massa e gli impatti ambientali e paesaggistici sul Mediterraneo
spagnolo. Per visualizzare meglio questa migrazione internazionale
si sono create mappe GIS da banche dati del progetto CORINE LAND
COVER o da censimenti ufficiali spagnoli. Per la creazione delle cartografie
si è utilizzato ArcGIS di ESRI.
This paper investigates the international retirement migration from elderly northern Europeans into Spain and its influence on expansion of urban sprawl there. Key themes analyzed in this paper include the urban sprawl expansion during the Spanish housing bubble, and the link between lifestyle migrants and urban sprawl development. This paper considers the reasons for moving to Spain, which are chiefly related with the climate and lifestyle. It also explores the benefits and drawbacks of these en masse lifestyle migration and the environmental and landscape impacts on Mediterranean Spain. In order to visualize better this international migration we have created some GIS maps from a GIS project (CORINE Land Cover) dataset or from the official Spanish Census data. The map design program used to create the maps in this paper has been ArcGIS by ESRI.
