- PublicationA model to explore circular economy activities in hotels and restaurants(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-01-10) Sánchez-Planelles, Joaquín; Trujillo-Adriá, Yolanda; Silva-Cardenas, Belén; Miguel Molina, Maria Rosario de; Dpto. de Organización de Empresas; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Agència Valenciana de la Innovació[EN] This work explores the different frontline and offline activities during the use of hotels and restaurants -represented as the touchpoints of a customer journey- to establish what circular actions could be implemented by stakeholders throughout the process, which lead to more circular business models that integrates the seven R’s (redesign, reduce, reuse, reneovate/repair,refurbish/remanufacture, recover/return and recycle) to achieve more efficient and sustainable performance. From the reservation step to the customer satisfaction evaluation, the interactions of hotels or restaurants with suppliers from many different economic sectors determine a variety of activities in their value chain that creates synergies, enhance circularity and add value to the tourism sector through the implementation of sustainable practices or the acquisition of sustainable products and services. Based on the literature, reports and lessons learned in the sector through specific Focus Groups previously carried for the research team, the proposed model can help hotels and restaurants decision-makers to take steps toward circular economy.
- PublicationDiseño de un dispositivo de iluminación de vías públicas con posicionamiento automático(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-10-01) Garrido, José; Marqués Mateu, Ángel; Martín Furones, Ángel Esteban; Llorens, José; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Geodésica, Cartográfica y Topográfica; Centro Valenciano de Estudios sobre el Riego; Grupo de Cartografía, Geodesia y GPS; Agència Valenciana de la Innovació[EN] Current trends in urban lighting design are focused on factors such as energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and multi-service effectiveness. As in most urban facilities, geographic location is a key attribute in the management of urban lighting infrastructures, and although street lighting hardware based on IoT devices allow users to connect multiple sensors, GNSS chips are rarely considered in hardware and software design. In this paper, we present the prototype of a lighting device intended for urban networks that allows positioning lampposts. The hardware equipment consists of four fundamental blocks: the BeagleBone Black (BBB) board, the energy manager board, the serial wired LED array, and the RS-485 communication bus. Blocks one and two form a subsystem that we name the energy management system (EMS), while block four is responsible for low level communication with the sensors, particularly the GNSS sensor. After its integration in the network, our device is considered as a node in a branched structure with three hierarchical levels: the operations command centre, the control cabinets, and the lampposts themselves; or in other words, the central, mid, and peripheral node groups respectively. The operation of the positioning procedure is mostly autonomous, starting with the GNSS data collection by the lamppost equipment. All those data are sent to the upper level, i.e. cabinets, for further processing in a different computing environment. This separation reduces the computational requirements of terminal nodes. Nodes in level 2 are also responsible for communicating geolocation updates to nodes in level 3 as well as to the command centre in level 1. Communication tasks rely on HTTP requests over lines that link the three levels. We used the open-source platform Fiware, a framework designed to support smart solutions, which in turn relies on other well-known components such as MongoDB, a NoSQL database system. As a result, we have a positioning procedure that can be embedded into a lighting network that guarantees efficiency and other requirements in modern city management.
- PublicationFocus group design for information gathering: an application for circular economy in tourism(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-01-10) Miguel Molina, Maria Rosario de; Santamarina Campos, Virginia; Segarra Oña, María del Val; Miguel Molina, María Blanca de; Peiró Signes, Ángel; Catalá Pérez, Daniel; Dpto. de Organización de Empresas; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Escuela de Doctorado; Agència Valenciana de la Innovació[EN] The Circular Economy opens a scenario of key business opportunities to improve tourism firms' competitiveness now and in the future. InnoEcoTur is a research project promoting models and strategies based on the Circular Economy in the tourism sector by the creation of a network in the area of hotels and restaurants. Members of the network will analyze first and later propose the implementation of a Circular Economy Strategy for the Tourist Sector of the Valencian Community, transferring also the results to companies of the industry. In the first stage of the project, we performed an audit of the industry needs and detected the potential improvements through the participation of the different stakeholders involved using focus groups. In this paper, we justify the design of the focus groups parameters such as size, location, or type of stakeholder to gather meaningful information for analysis. The methodology reveals to be adequate to draw a rough picture of the situation of Circular Economy in hotels and restaurants in the Valencian Community.
