Abstract

In Spain, there are different processes of retoponimization that affect the intra-urban space; the application of the Historical Memory Law and the translation of street names into regional languages stand out. In this work, based on the street map of the electoral census, the intensity of each of these in each region has been studied. The modifications linked to the language have meant a greater number of changes than those linked to the Historical Memory Law, despite the latter having a greater territorial scope.

Keywords: Spain, retoponimization, street names.
