Resumen y abstract. La seguridad es uno de los aspectos esenciales cuando se visita e interactúa con un destino turístico. Evaluar la seguridad percibida permite entender las sensaciones de los visitantes de una ciudad y comprender en qué medida sienten que su experiencia en esa ciudad es segura y, por tanto, mejor. La presente investigación analiza la seguridad percibida en un destino urbano bajo la perspectiva de género y considerando la procedencia de las personas participantes. El estudio realizado se fundamentó en el uso una escalera Likert para que los y las visitantes de Girona valoraran la seguridad que habían percibido en su estancia en esa ciudad. Los principales resultados indican que existen ligeras diferencias en la percepción de seguridad según el género de los participantes. No obstante, este factor no implica un cambio drástico en las valoraciones globales de los turistas sobre la capital. A modo de conclusión, en el estudio se presentan posibles soluciones y áreas d...

YouTube has become a great showcase for audiovisual products and a source of income for a number of creators. Several pioneers of internet animation migrated to this platform to provide greater visibility and economic security for their productions. A group of YouTubers, so-called ‘Reply Girls’, achieved rapid economic benefits by publishing content without any value, neither artistic nor communicative, but that deceived YouTube’s remuneration system and prioritization algorithm. To fight this phenomenon, YouTube subsequently applied changes to its prioritization algorithm and monetization plans. In this article, the author examines more than 3,300 videos published by 25 animation channels between 2006 and 2018 with Digital Methods tools to analyse how the changes applied to the platform policies have influenced and shaped the evolution of animation production on the internet.

Los jóvenes se han adaptado de forma muy rápida al entorno digital aprovechando todas las posibilidades que este les ofrece, mientras que la radio ha reaccionado con lentitud y sin saber con exactitud cuál es su rol en este nuevo ecosistema. Mientras que el sector despliega la mayoría de sus activos en las websites, los jóvenes de 14 a 24 años han optado por consumir preferentemente los contenidos musicales que ellos mismos gestionan para la elaboración de sus playlist, hábito que ha desdibujado la incidencia del medio radio en su dieta mediática. De hecho, el 25% de los jóvenes muestran un desinterés manifiesto por la radio como medio de comunicación. Además, los que la escuchan, lo hacen de forma breve (el tiempo de exposición a los contenidos radiofónicos ronda los 15 minutos diarios) y desatenta (realizando otras actividades en simultaneidad). Sin embargo, la oferta musical que ofrece la radio sigue siendo para ellos un referente a la hora de confeccionar las playlists que escuc...

El desarrollo de la radio en el entorno online ha modificado la relacion del medio con la audiencia. Las redes sociales ofrecen a los oyentes-usuarios nuevas formas de participacion en la construccion del discurso radiofonico tanto en la radio off (antena convencional) como online. El articulo analiza como el emisor gestiona este nuevo rol proactivo de la audiencia tanto en la emision en antena como en sus perfiles de Facebook y Twitter y como los oyentes-usuarios se convierten en generadores de contenidos a traves de las redes. La metodologia se basa en el analisis de contenido de las llamadas a la participacion realizadas por el emi¬sor y en la participacion detectada de la audiencia. Los resultados muestran que el discurso radiofonico dominante de la Radio 2.0 continua situandose en la antena y controlado por el emisor. La audiencia sigue manteniendo su rol tradicional, interactuando cuando el emisor lo solicita y siguiendo las directrices que este le imponga. Incluso cuando su i...

La comunicacio exposa els resultats de la primera fase d’un projecte que els autors estan duent a terme a la Facultat de Ciencies de la Comunicacio de la Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. La recerca, de naturalesa exploratoria, comenca amb el disseny i elaboracio d’un exemple de material digital de suport a la docencia amb el programa informatic Camtasia Studio, que es sotmes a testeig per part d’una mostra de docents i discents d’aquests estudis. Aquesta primera fase es la que amb detall s’explica en aquesta comunicacio. El projecte global, que seguira desenvolupant-se a partir dels primers resultats obtinguts, vol dissenyar i elaborar un protocol d’actuacio d’us de les TIC (Tecnologies de la Informacio i la Comunicacio) aplicades a la docencia. Es tracta d’un protocol d’us transdisciplinar (ha de resultar util per a qualsevol docent) i multiplataforma que ha de permetre que cada professor elabori el material docent multimedia de suport (de reforc, autoaprenentatge, avaluacio, etc.), que incloura tant la guia tecnologica com la pedagogica fonamentals. Igualment, no es descarta la possibilitat de crear un repositori d’aquest tipus de material de suport.

Se explora el efecto de la interactividad en la identifi cación con los personajes de las fi cciones audiovisuales. 310 participantes fueron sometidos al visionado de una fi cción en una de dos condiciones: 1) interactiva (escogían la trama), y 2) no interactiva (veían la fi cción convencionalmente). Luego, completaron un cuestionario con la escala EDI de identifi cación y empatía con los personajes, de Igartua y Páez. La capacidad de intervenir en la confi guración del argumento (la interactividad) afectó a la identifi cación con los personajes. Los resultados añaden datos sobre psicología de los medios, sobre la interactividad en comunicación y permiten comprender los procesos de empatía e identifi cación con los personajes.

These research project was launched to provide scientific knowledge on a specific field: Usability and user experience methodologies. We focus on Catalonia, Spain. The Catalan video game industry is one of the most dynamic sectors, positioning itself as the driving force for the local economy.
This text is an introduction to the study led by the Observatory of Communication, Games and Entertainment. This study investigates the design methodologies of the game companies, and the extent to which the game companies utilize usability and user experience (UX) methods, and the methods they use. The respondents were professionals with different roles in game development. Game companies used multitude of design methods, some of those mentioned are: Playtesting, where potential users are made to play and both their quantitative data (time taken to complete a task, places where they get stuck or pass through too quickly, etc.) and qualitative data (emotional reactions, comments, engagement, etc.) are observed. Heuristic evaluations are also carried out when an expert analyses the game’s ease of use. There is also A/B testing, in which design variations are launched to see which what the result of better retention and monetization will be.

Introduction: Public and private talk radio stations use social media to find new forms of content exploitation that transform the value chain of their brand and allow them to develop a different business model. Objectives: To define the synergies between conventional radio broadcasting and social networks in Spanish talk radio based on the analysis of four primetime radio shows, which are the flagship programmes of their radio stations. Method: Quantitative content analysis is used to examine the roles played by talk radio broadcasters and audiences in social networks and conventional radio broadcasting. Conclusion: Despite the increasing forms of audience participation channels, this research study demonstrates an almost total lack of interaction; which demands the establishment of synergies between conventional radio broadcasting and social media as a strategy to exploit the potential of these virtual spaces.

Operadores públicos y privados de las emisoras radiofónicas generalistas buscan en las redes sociales nuevas formas de explotación de contenidos que generen cambios en la cadena de valor de la marca y desarrollen un modelo de negocio diferente. Objetivos: Definir las sinergias entre la radio convencional y las redes sociales en la radio generalista española a partir del análisis de cuatro programas de prime-time considerados máximos exponentes de la marca radiofónica. Metodología: A través de la técnica cuantitativa de análisis de contenido se estudian los roles del emisor y la audiencia en las redes sociales y la radio convencional. Conclusión: Pese a la ampliación de las vías para la participación de la audiencia, el estudio demuestra una ausencia casi total de interacción lo que exige el establecimiento de sinergias entre la radio convencional y las redes sociales como estrategia para explotar el potencial de estos espacios virtuales.

El desarrollo de la radio en el entorno online ha modificado la relación del medio con la audiencia. Las redes so-ciales ofrecen a los oyentes-usuarios nuevas formas de participación en la construcción del discurso radiofónico tanto en la radio off (antena conven-cional) como online. El artículo anali-za cómo el emisor gestiona este nue-vo rol proactivo de la audiencia tanto en la emisión en antena como en sus perfiles de Facebook y Twitter y cómo los oyentes-usuarios se convierten en generadores de contenidos a través de las redes. La metodología se basa en el análisis de contenido de las llamadas a la participación realizadas por el emi-sor y en la participación detectada de la audiencia. Los resultados muestran que el discurso radiofónico dominante de la Radio 2.0 continúa situándose en la antena y controlado por el emisor. La audiencia sigue manteniendo su rol tradicional, interactuando cuando el emisor lo solicita y siguiendo las directrices que éste le imponga. Incluso cuando su interacción se realiza en el marco de las redes sociales, su actividad también se encuentra en consonancia con la narración hegemónica. La audiencia muestra un bajo índice de actividad como radio prosumer y muy ocasionalmente presentan contenidos propios desvinculados de la actualidad informativa o de la agenda mediática. Los oyentes-usuarios se interesan más por su capacidad de amplificar los contenidos radiofónicos entre sus “amigos” y
“seguidores” que por generar y difundir sus propios contenidos, con lo que infrautilizan el potencial de la Web 2.0 como audiencia activa y participativa.

This paper presents the results of a research focused on the offer of interactive services in the programming of Spanish DTT. We studied the main Spanish broadcasters and analyzed their interactive applications. It allowed us to identify and summarize the different iTV services available, its situation within the programming grid and their characteristics. The variables of the study included critical features that has allowed the researchers to offer a diagnosis of the iTV in Spain and show the limited implication of the broadcasters in its development.

This article presents a summary of a research report into the state of interactive television and the different systems for interaction with television developed by the regulating authority in Catalonia (Spain). The context of the study is the European continent and it covers theoretical, technological and programming issues. The authors propose an operative definition of interactive television as a tool for developing their field of study and an original typological proposal that can classify and analyze the whole range of the present offer of interactive programs and services. Also presented throughout the article is an analysis of the different interactive services in the European continent.
To end, the authors propose a whole series of recommendations for the regulating authority as measures for promoting these types of services and applications, with particular emphasis on the role that Digital Terrestrial Television could play as a universalizing platform for access to the new services of the Information Society. Mention is made of the specific case of Catalonia as an example of the measures that should be observed for the full and integrated development of the services that are generically known as interactive television.

This article presents a proposal for the classification of the different forms used in advertising to include interactivity in communication strategies. This typology is the result of the observation and analysis of existing models and is presented as an instrument that should help develop an understanding of the phenomenon of interactivity when applied to advertising, both in its current forms and in other forms that might be derived from them in the future.

At present, the term iTV is disperse and is indistinctly applied to technologies, programs and services. This polysemy, however, prevents any efficient identification of interactive contents which, in turn, delays the formulation of regulatory and market strategies that can promote the development of more complete television consumption. This study proposes a practical and accurate classification of iTV content by type of service and programs, which could be of use to academics, industrialists and regulators. The functional typology proposed is generated on the basis of a detailed observation of the technological and audiovisual reality in Europe. This study is offered as a guide for dealing with the creation, study and regulation of advanced television programs in a context of technological mutation and convergence.

This article presents the results of an exploration of the applications of an informative nature which are offered as part of the interactive services of the TDT (terrestrial digital television). It contains data about the weight which said applications have in the television offer, a description of the elements which compose them and a portrait of the productive dynamics that they generate. The work is based on the idea that the adequate and efficient development of TDT in Spain can only be achieved with a commitment to offering the audience quality interactive services and contents whether associated with the different genres of programs or not.
