Schools are required to educate students in community and citizenship. This overall aim comprises a number of specific objectives: to communicate a set of contents, to foster certain values and attitudes, and to develop a range of skills. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings from a survey dealing with issues related to Citizenship Education (CE); 1,557 third-year students in secondary education in the Zaragoza region were surveyed. The paper is structured as follows: first, the international framework within which CE is promoted is described. The issue is then discussed in relation to established Spanish legislation in this regard. Thereafter, the empirical results from a case-study survey carried out among students attending schools in Zaragoza are presented. The focus of the survey was to evaluate student responses to EC as a subject, and its objective was to analyze the views of students both before and after their participation in the subject during academic year 2008-2009, the first year the subject was taught in the Spanish school system. The results show that there is significant improvement in the theoretical knowledge block, which is consistent with student experience on a taught course at school; however, there is no appreciable improvement in the blocks relating to values and attitudes.

Gender perspective in urban planning is an obligation of the Spanish public administration as well as the national, regional and local administration. The city of Albacete and the Regional Government of Castilla La Mancha, and an analysis made on the General Urban Plan asked the author of this article to lead the team work about the participation of citizens in management, which is the basis to achieving the objectives. The paper presented focuses on the methodological experience carried out in situ, on the contributions and innovations made by the research. The paper also shows the mechanisms and instruments that enabled citizen's participation, with few reference to Spain, constitute the first approximation to be applied to other similar projects.

Some social and political situations and many educational tasks are today, the historical result of a long process which has been shaping them; and also the current manifestation of aims and practices which have previously had other developments. It is the case of the entails and commitments that have been taking place between the concept and the practice of education, and also of the attempts of advancing or penetrating into a political democratic culture. In this paper we elaborate a historical approach which tries to announce and interpret important ideas which were configured along with decisive and complex moments of our contemporary history. For it we plan the axis of its progressive evolution in Spain, by means of the thought of relevant figures in the intellectual and political order, such as Giner de los Ríos, Rafael Altamira, José Ortega y Gasset, Manuel Azaña and some others. With his analysis we try to clarify from a historical perspective the role that education has in the strengthening of the citizenship, the cohesion and the vitality of the nation, or the genuineness in the political democratization.

This research note has three objectives: First, to discover what the attitude of citizens towards towards the subsidiarity principle is; next, to examine whether or not there is a consistent relationship between, on the one hand, the attitude towards the subsidiarity principle and, on the other hand, the opinions and preferences on the question of the distribution of power, functions and resources among the different levels of government; and thirdly, to identify the typical citizen characteristics that show consistent attitudes and opinions. The research focuses on the province of Barcelona and the Community of Madrid. The last section of the paper contains some thoughts about possible avenues to further research on these questions and a short discussion on the implications of our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Are there really so many Moroccan immigrants or is it more a question of attitude and behaviour? This paper is an attempt to answer both questions. Firstly, to try to establish how many they are and their nationality, in which a conflict arises concerning their numbers. Secondly, we shall attempt to explain the attitude and opinion of the young people in Granada (between the ages of 14 to 25) in the face of these Moroccan immigrants. In order to do so, we shall refer to the results of the survey carried out within the Project, Cities against racism, "Granada, an integrating city", subsidised by the European Commission.
