This paper is intended to offer a critical analysis of Law 41/2003 on the Protection of Disabled Persons’ Estates. The law introduces institutions not previously regulated in the Spanish legal system: protected estate, support contracts and self-guardianship. This ground-breaking law in Europe also provides major reforms in the rules on inheritance, significantly affecting the statutory legacy system regulated by the Spanish Civil Code. Rising life expectancy, more prevalent degenerative diseases and the need to provide for disabled people’s future needs on the death of their parents or guardians are key factors justifying the regulation of these concepts. This study analyzes the new provisions, highlighting their most interesting aspects and the difficulties involved in implementing them.

Abstract: Smart tourism today is a frontier of studies in the tourism field, and is a promising area from various research perspectives in terms of models, tools and strategies in sustaining the process of intelligent configuration of tourism destinations. The emergence of smart devices is highly favourable as it connects everyday infrastructures via the present networks available. Today’s smart tourism has given rise to research efforts that are getting more detailed for future needs. On that count, this study aims to develop Malaysia Smart Tourism Framework for Ecotourism (MSTF-Eco) from Malaysia Smart City Framework. The content analysis is used to identify the characteristics and sub-characteristics for MSTF-Eco by analysing several literature reviews on smart tourism in terms of terminologies and case studies, which will be placed into the characteristics and sub-characteristics for MSTF-Eco. Keywords: Malaysia Smart Tourism Framework for Ecotourism (MSTF-Eco), Malaysia Smart City Framework, Smart Tourism, Content Analysis

Back Ward

Although Ontario has closed the regional centres that were intended for people labelled with intellectual disabilities and apologized to survivors, the institutionalization of disabled people persists in other forms in the province. This article demonstrates that the eligibility criteria established by privately-operated and publically-funded group homes contributes to the use of what will be termed 'back ward' placements in institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes. While group homes themselves have been – quite rightly – criticized as neo-institutional forms of residential support, they also play a role in shaping more overt forms of confinement by refusing to tailor their services to the needs of certain individuals. What follows is an analysis of residential support systems that builds upon case studies and reports to expose how impairment hierarchies, based on ranked support needs, determine who will end up in these 'back wards' and who will be offered a place in a group home.

This report summarizes responses to a survey of Virginia's commercial greenhouse industry, conducted in 2000-01. The survey included questions about interests and needs of growers to assist Virginia Tech Horticulture faculty and staff in planning educational and research programming. Respondents were asked about current cultural practices, future plans for automation and technology, and impact of issues facing the greenhouse industry such as regulations and labor. The 273 responses were categorized based on the amount of heated greenhouse space: small, medium, large, or other (including part-time). Following analysis of the responses, focus groups were conducted across Virginia to further discuss issues raised in the survey.

The Individual

This chapter looks at overcoming the powerful barriers that can prevent us having any involvement in the ideologies that are the backdrop to our lives. It focuses on the political ideology and the exclusion of most people from its formation and development. The first of these issues to be addressed is power and inequalities of power, then the chapter examines a range of routine exclusions and inequalities that can operate and how these can be challenged. The chapter investigates a range of key requirements to ensure inclusive involvement, which include both support for the individual to be involved and improved access to previously excluding social institutions. In the first of two case studies, the chapter discusses how disabled people got together to develop their own ideology, its key components and the emphasis they have placed on their participation.
