This study proposes a Geographic Information Systems-based methodology to measure accessibility urban services from the elderly perspective support planning processes. Specifically, it seeks understand and clarify how environment can influence quality of life for older adults, mostly through pedestrian public transport networks, locations essential services, organisation their resources. In light significant demographic change, policymakers will have promote age-friendly approaches guarantee...
In Europe, the share of people aged 65 years and above is expected to increase exponentially, in 2050, for first time human history, number older will be larger than children under age 15. Aging associated with increased vulnerability dependence on medical care services. For these reasons, providing access health services over crucial. From perspective social equity, everyone should have opportunity healthcare equally, but due economic geographical issues, achieving this level equity...
Household Demand Side Management (DSM) systems play a key role in improving the efficiency of entire electrical system. An efficient management energy resources can indeed allow spreading domestic loads smart way order to reduce peak power overall demand. To achieve this goal, home appliances and storage have be controlled through definition plans for future periods (offline) real time control (online). In paper, we propose an optimization model set heuristics online demand side management,...
This paper investigates the relation between sustainability and urban form. To this aim a system of Land-Use Transport Interactions (LUTI) models has been designed applied to metropolitan area Rome, understand interdependence key variables such as travel behavior, transport supply, property values, jobs residential location. The represent behavior both dwellers users how they react changing conditions. A assessment indicators defined systematically test compare alternative scenarios form...
Demographic ageing represents an essential challenge for local authorities and public transport providers. Decision-makers should not ignore the speci c needs of this weak segment population implement appropriate policies. This paper develops a GIS-based method to analyse accessibility elderly people support policies planning strategies. To test proposed method, we propose application city Naples in Italy. We selected study case because it example high density, complex urban structure low...
This work is part of the scientific research sector concerning Government Urban and Territorial Transformations in order to promote efficiency reduction energy consumption urban areas. The contribution proposes a further deepening already carried out under project Pon Smart Energy Master by group Laboratory Territory, Mobility Environmental (TeMA Lab) Department Civil, Architectural Engineering, University Naples Federico II. aim assist public authorities, that also deal with Governance,...
The paper proposes a focus on three main aspects related to the spread of new coronavirus in our country: correlations that have been established between Covid-19 virus and settlement system country;the urban territorial phenomena can be associated, positively or negatively, with diffusion virus;and, finally, correspondence homogeneous clusters Italian provinces (due current most significant phenomena) intensity infection research is divided four steps: identification scientific disciplinary...
The contributions of this paper are the result a thematic review conducted on some most relevant scientific and policy guidelines about women’s perception safety while walking in public spaces. first part focused 23 references revolving around keywords “gender”, “safety” “walkability”. This led to establishment three main Safety Factors: (i) Spatial Features (space characteristics/morphological features); (ii) City Use (traces behavior presence city users); (iii) Hotspots (safe havens no-go...
The global Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped lives and activities, especially in urban areas: national regional authorities have had to react promptly limit the spread of coronavirus avoid collapse healthy provision systems Urban environments, as noted several World Health Organization reports, are fertile ground for an epidemic's rapid transformation into a due their high densities people, structures networks Cities around world thus rapidly reorganised manage crisis This paper focuses on...
The extreme events that the planet is experiencing are indisputable proof of climate change. Effective strategies required to reduce exposure and vulnerability cities such risks. This work aims contribute cultural technical debate on governance urban transformations for limiting impacts related global warming, focusing Mediterranean Sea. research shows how social economic characteristics influence response change-related hazards. consideration reinforces idea seeking integrated solutions...
The population growth of those living in urban areas reaches 50% the total population, causing air pollution and energy consumption, which is also due to high density activities.This gradual process urbanization, covers an area equal 2% world, responsible for about 75% consumption resources.Although cities are place where there a wide concentration demand attention given implications this phenomenon still inadequate.These considerations allow perceive that such things require broader...
