With the increase of the urban population and the challenges of global warming, the issue of natural spaces such as green spaces is now at the center of public policy concerns. Therefore, policy makers must understand how to plan the city of tomorrow in light of these challenges while maintaining or even improving the quality of life for everyone. On the European continent, the supply of urban green spaces as well as citizens' satisfaction with the environment is very heterogeneous. This study aims to identify the determinants of green space satisfaction of European citizens in 74 cities through a life satisfaction approach using survey data from the Eurobarometer in 2019 and evolutions of green coverage from the Urban Atlas. We show in general that satisfaction with green spaces is not driven by the proportion of current green spaces in the city but by its variation and thus by the improvements achieved. However, there are heterogeneous effects across cities according to the city's location on the European continent, the city's level of wealth, the proportion of the city's inhabitants who have always lived in the city, and the number of major climatic events the city has faced. These results have important policy implications that can help shape future planning and city management policies.

Job-to-job transitions are associated with career progression and wage gains, thus regional differences in job mobility potentially contribute to and reinforce regional and social inequalities. However, career researchers have generally limited their attention to individual and employer characteristics and have neglected the spatial context in which job mobility occurs. This study aims at closing the research gap in the understanding of the regional contexts in which individual job mobility occurs. Using the theoretical concept of regional opportunity structures, logistic and multinomial regression models are set up to investigate three key aspects of region-related job changes: regional determinants of (1) general job mobility; (2) job mobility with wage gains; (3) simultaneous job and residential mobility. This study is based on individual data from the German Socio-Economic Panel study, enriched with regional indicators. The results show that job changes are negatively associated with labour market tightness, indicating that workers are less likely to change jobs in regions with a high ratio of job vacancies to unemployed workers. Fewer job-to-job transitions in tighter labour markets suggests that regional factors such as job availability and security play an important role in shaping job mobility, and that policies aimed at promoting job transitions may need to take into account the specificities of local labour markets. The effects of other indicators of economic opportunities remain insignificant, and there are no clear effects of other aspects of regional opportunity structures.

Tourism is considered one of the most important sectors inside economic developed countries. Suffice it to say, as it represents an important feature in the economy, and consequently, in its GDP, throughout the pandemic the sector suffered substantially. In addition, not only COVID but also new problems being faced, such as the Ukraine war, rising energy prices and, therefore, inflation, have caused an added struggle to the development of the sector.
Having mentioned the importance of tourism inside the spanish economy, as an economic developed country, the object of this study is to analyze the economic impact on the latent fall of Spanish GDP, which, according to IMF could three to four percentage points, turn 5,5% in 2022 to 1,2% for 2023 or according to the Spanish Bank turn 2,9% in 2023 and 2,5% in 2024. The methodology used for the analysis is the input-output subset of a SAM model. The database taken into consideration is the SAM of Spain built in 2016 (Social Accounting Matrix of Spain. Thus, it will enable us to understand how this fall in GDP is reflected in the tourism sector.
