The co-creation of smart cities through the intersection of AI technologies and urban development practices is an important area of research and development. This paper proposes a theoretical framework to understand this co-creation through the lens of co-production. It draws on literature on co-production, urban development, and AI technologies to develop a conceptual framework that considers the role of urban stakeholders in designing, developing, and implementing AI technologies in urban contexts. This contribution describes a methodology for examining the co-creation of smart cities in two case studies: a mobility project and a public safety project. The analysis focuses on the co-production processes involved, including the identification of urban stakeholders, the negotiation of objectives, and the co-design of AI technologies and urban development practices. The results show that the co-creation of smart cities requires a collaborative approach that involves a range of urban stakeholders, including citizens, public officials, and private actors. It also highlights that the co-production of AI technologies and urban development practices is influenced by social, political, and economic factors that shape the distribution of benefits and risks among urban stakeholders. Overall, this contribution highlights the importance of considering the co-production of AI technologies and urban development practices in the design and implementation of smart cities. A co-creation approach can help to ensure that smart cities are inclusive, equitable, and sustainable.

The attractiveness of non-metropolitan areas for remote workers and digital nomads in the Canary Islands: a post-pandemic perspective | Claudio Moreno-Medina, Josefina Domínguez-Mujica, Juan M. Parreño-Castellano

Digital capitalism has contributed to create new forms of organization in which work, and place have lost weight as identity elements, and delocalization and leisure have gained importance, in a context of socio-productive deregulation. Therefore, new lifestyles linked to residential relocation such as digital nomadism and remote working are appearing. In this background and paradoxically, the pandemic favoured residential relocation and nomadism linked to teleworking. The destinations selected by these workers are those where they share experiences, manage relationships, and find elements of ‘sameness’ and stability, demanded by tourists. Therefore, big cities and coastal areas are often the main receiving areas. However, some non-metropolitan zones, some of them with clears symptoms of decline, also have turned into reception spaces._x000D_
In Spain, the Canary Islands has grown as an important destination for workation migrants. The pandemic favored some stimulus measures for attracting them through tourist promotional actions and their implementation. Among them can be recognized those trying to energize left-behind areas. An example is those carried out by the Island Council and the Rural Development Association of La Palma (ADER) to empower professional ecosystems suit to digital nomads and remote teleworkers. As result of these measures, a pilot project named Nomadas La Palma was launched after the pandemic aiming to merge digital nomads with local businesses and inhabitants, turning them into a community of people with a positive social and economic impact on the villages. A similar initiative is that of “Pueblos Remotos” or “Connected Rurality” that promotes the development of activities integrated in local communities in Fuencaliente, at the south of the island, or in Antigua, at the island of Fuerteventura. The identification and explanation of these initiatives in left-behind areas constitute the aim of this document.

1181 | 356 | Enhacing Geoscience Field-based Learning with Digital Tools – Experiences from Svalbard, High Arctic. | Rafael Kenji Horota, Marius Jonassen, Kim Senger, Marie Annette van der Kloet, Christian haug Eide

The use of digital tools in geoscience education (webGIS, digital photogrammetry, 360º imagery), supplements conventional teaching methods and enables greater flexibility and inclusion in field learning. Research on learning and use of digital tools suggests that these modalities provide flexible and convenient learning experiences, allowing students to explore environments that may not be accessible in person, and enhance inquiry-based learning. _x000D_
This paper uses teaching at University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), in Longyearbyen/Svalbard, as a case study for pedagogical research on field-based learning in geosciences higher education. At UNIS digital tools have been in use in geoscience courses since 2016. Specifically, VRSvalbard.com and Svalbox.no platforms, have been used to supplement fieldwork, displaying virtual field guides of arctic environments with a collection of high-resolution images and 3D data (photospheres and 3D models) for immersive and interactive learning in the classroom. As technological development is consolidated the aim of this paper is to understand how and to what extent can virtual field guides be used to supplement field-based learning activities. _x000D_
We discuss the specific strategies on the usage of these digital tools adopted by instructors as well as students’ perspectives over virtual field guides and digital field representation in pre, and post-field trip activities. The data to be analyzed will be collected though structured questionnaires and interviews with participants of AG-209 and AG-222 courses at the end of the current semester. _x000D_
Our hypothesis on the results of the development and use of these tools are that instructors will be able to, before heading to the field, better introduce students to field sites, ensuring that time in the field will be use more effectively. Also, after field trips, teachers will use the tools and possibly reinforce learning goals in lectures to help students reflect on their experiences.

1165 | 565 | How do mineralogical and physicochemical properties of badland materials change during weathering and erosion processes? | M. Stefanović 1, B. Jovančićević 2, Đ. Janaćković 3, N. Antić 4, F. Gallart 5, M. Moreno-de las Heras 6, M. Kašanin-Grubin 4

This study involves establishing a relationship between weathering and erosion processes in badlands comparing the mineralogical and physicochemical properties of unweathered and weathered material formed in the natural environment and under laboratory climate simulation experiments. Three unweathered samples with different mineralogical contents were taken from the badlands of Vallcebre and Bagà in Spain. The climatic conditions in these areas are humid-Mediterranean. Besides quartz and calcite as dominant minerals, one unweathered sample contained smectite and gypsum, the second smectite and the third neither smectite nor gypsum. The laboratory climate simulation experiment was designed so that each sample had two sub-samples, one of which was exposed to rain and the second to snow. In the first part, the samples were placed in a climate chamber at a temperature of -3 °C after simulating rain (~140 ml) or snow (~150 g). After 15 cycles, in the second part of the experiment, all samples were exposed to rain (~140 ml) and placed in a climate chamber at a temperature of 50 °C. These treatments were repeated 8 times. Analyses of the mineralogical and physicochemical properties of the material before and after the experiment give a clear insight into the changes in mineralogy, chemical composition, grain size, porosity, etc. The changes in the microstructure were analysed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The particle size distribution was determined by laser diffraction, while mineralogy was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis confirmed that the sample with smectite had the highest specific surface area. It was also proved that other measured parameters such as volume and diameter of the pores changed with weathering rate.

1165 | 803 | Tracking human origin of large gully systems within a regional-scale Mediterranean-dry agricultural setting (Conca d’Òdena, NE Spain) | Mariano Moreno de las Heras (1), Florian Lindenberger (2), and Francesc Gallart (3)

The effects of long-term land management are pervasive in agricultural areas of the Mediterranean region, where the physical settings of these agricultural landscapes offer environmental hints about historical land transformations. For example, the presence of large gully systems and small badland areas within these agricultural settings is commonly interpreted as the result of human interference with a delicate natural equilibrium, where human alteration of surface drainage patterns may be responsible of gully development on erodible lithological materials (e.g., marls). In this context, the presence of anomalous drainage layouts (e.g., gullies that do not follow the general topographic axis of valleys, gullies that cross obliquely a hillslope, gullies that are initiated in convexities, or in artificial channels) can provide evidence for human-derived origin of these erosive landforms. We explore physical evidences of anthropogenic origin in the distribution of gully systems within the Conca d’Òdena (60 km2, central Anoia basin, Catalonia), a Mediterranean-dry agricultural setting developed over marly soils where surface-leveled and terraced fields alternate with agricultural ditches, large gullies and small badland areas. We identified and digitized a total of 316 large gully systems in the region (approx. 3% of the terrain) using aerial imagery and a LiDAR-based DEM. About 80% of these gully systems exhibited anomalous topographic patterns, suggesting anthropogenic origin. Further application of a semi-automated GIS method for simple landform analysis revealed that combining DEM smoothing and flow routing algorithms can provide satisfactory results for assessing agricultural origin in small-to-medium size gully systems of the region. Overall, these findings highlight the usefulness of GIS-based morphometric analysis for exploring gully origin and point to a significant role of human activities for the formation of large gully systems in agricultural landscapes.

1165 | 116 | Assessing the role of gully erosion on land degradation in Ethiopia’s Upper Blue Nile basin | Mesenbet Yibeltal

Understanding gully erosion dynamics and extent is essential when developing gully erosion management strategies. This paper aims to investigate suspended sediment production and dynamics during precipitation-runoff events in the Upper Blue Nile basin in Ethiopia. Runoff events measured between 2017 and 2020 can be used to study the relationship between runoff and sediment and suspended sediment dynamics. During the study period, the overall discharge coefficient of variation (CV) varied between 55.2 and 66.5% at the head and 52.2 and 64.9% at the tail. Therefore, increasing runoff could increase sediment transport capacity, increasing sediment discharge. As a result, the soil amount estimated using gully parameters for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 was 1962.4, 1097.4, 1033.6, and 1254.3 Mg yr–1, respectively. Between 2017 and 2020, CVs for total sediment load values ranged from 65.1 to 96.1% at the head and 17.1 to 78.1% at the tail. In the gully tail, sediment yield was higher than in the head, suggesting gully sediment contributed more to sediment yield than large upland catchments. As a result of the study, we have been able to develop practical recommendations for managing gully erosion in the future. A sediment budget calculation and a hysteresis loop analysis of the monitored site demonstrated that nearly 85% of the sediment came from the gully. The findings provided valuable information for runoff patterns and suspended sediment dynamics, and enhanced sediment control theory at the study site and in other similar environmental settings.

1154 | 374 | Geo-history for climate study. A didactical purpose on Little Ice Age and Climate Change in the Italian context | Filiberto Ciaglia, Lavinia Lucidi

_x000D_
“Geo-history for climate study” is an educational activity conceived within the framework of the three-year degree course in Geographical Sciences for the Environment and Health at La Sapienza University of Rome. The didactic laboratory aimed to provide students with an in-depth study of geographical and geohistorical studies on climate variations in the Anthropocene and the effects on human societies in the short and long term. The first part was distinguished by an approach to the documentary sources, both manuscript and printed, relating to the Little Ice Age with particular regard to the freezing of Lake Fucino, chosen as a case study because it was unexplored in the literature and was the subject of recent discoveries of archival material, thus functional for an initial approach to the manuscripts. The focus then shifted to the impact of global warming from the mid-19th century to the visionary geography emerged in the work Viaggio nell’Italia dell’Antropocene set in the distant 2786, encouraging a critical debate on the narration and perception of climate change also because “geography, precisely because of its descriptive and interpretative characteristics of the environment and the various territorial realities, would lend itself very well to the work of dissemination and narration”. _x000D_
The cognitive and metacognitive phase of the circular action-research process brought out how difficult it is to deal with environmental issues that are not perceived on a human scale but on different temporal scales. The aim of the activity has been, in any case, to provide the group with the useful tools to understand the complementary role of the geographer in the study of climate, especially with regard to the specific preparation on “qualitative evidence on weather and climatic facts (generally exceptional ones)” that can be deduced, sometimes even indirectly, from a careful reading of documentary material._x000D_

1156 | 386 | Application of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making and GIS for Sustainable beekeeping (case study of Krivodol Municipality, Bulgaria) | Milena Tocheva, Nikolay Nikolov, Bilyana Borissova

In the past few decades, the beekeeping sector has been facing challenges related to high bee mortality rates globally. However, pollinators play a large economic role in crop reproduction worth over one trillion dollars a year (Hartfelder, 2013). In particular, insect-dependent food production was valued at 625 billion euros in 2005, with pollination services provided by bees accounting for 153 billion euros (Gallai et al., 2009). Determining the suitability of a specific area for apiary is vital for beekeeping sustainability. Interdisciplinary approaches are needed to address the challenges faced by Apis mellifera and other pollinator species in the face of intensive land use. By using a GIS-based approach and Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), beekeepers and farmers can identify the optimal locations for beehives, which can improve the sustainability of the ecosystem service pollination and contribute to a balance between economic benefits and healthy ecosystem maintenance._x000D_
This study used various environmental components such as land cover, slope gradient, and distance from water bodies, roads, and settlements to evaluate Krivodol municipality’s (Northwestern Bulgaria) territory’s suitability for beekeeping. The multi-criteria decision-making approach refined by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to identify the most favorable areas for apiary development while limiting pressures and risks considering that 68.7% of the selected municipality territory is occupied by cropland. The obtained results classify large part of the territory of Krivodol municipality (76.5%) as suitable for beekeeping development, based on a scale from 1 to 5 where “suitable” is the mid value._x000D_
