COVID-19 hit Italy in February 2020 after its outbreak China at the beginning of January. Why was first among Western countries? What are conditions that made more vulnerable and target this disease? characteristics diffusion patterns could be highlighted hypothesized from to end March 2020, containment measures, including a national lockdown, were introduced? In paper, we try provide some answers these questions, analyzing issue medical, geographical planning points view. With reference...
Accessibility and Walkability represent, today, some of the most striking challenges contemporary cities are facing, particularly in light goals from UN Agenda 2030, aimed at a sustainable city, terms livable, healthy inclusive city. This can be also performed thanks to set high quality public services important central infrastructures. These principles, however, constrained by an overall, general fragmentation affecting many urban areas, as outcome vehicular accessibility needs. Scholars...
The present work aims to study the role of air pollutants in relation number deaths per each Italian province affected by COVID-19. To do that, specific mortality from COVID-19 has been standardized for and age group (10 groups) ranging 0 9 years >90 years, based on 2019 national population figures. link between among provinces was studied implementing a linear regression model, whereas wide set variables were examined means LISA (Local Indicators Spatial Autocorrelation), relating spatial...
Spatial planning and territorial promotion can benefit largely from the application of Information Communication Technology (ICT) at different scales. From knowledge acquisition to management planning, their role in building an image territory, constantly updating it users planners, is paramount importance. Institutional channels, together with social networks, are means by which both a local community wider share experiences perceptions. ICTs therefore strategic supporting promoting...
The image of the Smart City recalls Lynch’s “Image City” (1960) and ways in which urban spaces are perceived by community users. categories presented there hold a physical, tangible component, related to spatial material aspects city. Talking about Cities, little formulated tackled question refers what is, how it is possible represent it. debate on regards mainly digital component technological aspects, often not visible or perceivable, neglecting more humanistic implications. We carry...
Accessibility and urban walkability are the cornerstones of policies for contemporary city, which needs to be oriented towards sustainable development principles models. Such aims included in objectives 2030 Agenda, as well ambitious ‘European Green Deal’. These concepts closely linked paradigm a city—livable, healthy inclusive—based on system high-quality public spaces network services infrastructures, both tangible intangible, capable strengthening building new social, economic...
Cities consume over 75% of natural resources, produce 50% global waste, and emit 60–80% greenhouse gases. The scenario that by 2050 two thirds the world population will live in cities, highlights how cities are still responsible for growing consumption characterized linear economic processes, with production various types waste. In this unsustainable framework, Circular Economy offers opportunity to shape urban system means rethinking possibility use goods services, exploring new ways ensure...
According to projects and practices that the Italian botanists ecologists are carrying out for bringing "more nature in city", new insights a factual integration between ecological perspectives more consolidated aesthetic agronomic approaches sustainable planning management of urban green areas provided.
The Covid-19 has hit Italy in February 2020 after its outbreak China at the beginning of January. But why first among Western countries? What are conditions that made more vulnerable and target such disease? characteristics what diffusion patterns could be highlighted hypothesized, from to end March 2020, containment measures - including a national lock down – were introduced? In this paper we try provide some answers these questions, analyzing issue medical, geographical planning...
The paper tackles a topic related to the use of prime material and recycled materials in construction, framework circular economy, where aggregates can be considered, part or even totally, as second for construction sector. In particular, authors describe main phases MEISAR project, developing cluster territorial model so that quantity recyclable estimated geolocalized most appropriate processing plant, well assessing potential market. study we combine spatial planning problems industrial...
The European energy transition process is geared toward improving the economic viability of sector through its democratization, which includes enabling citizens to generate, share, and sell produced by renewable sources. current directives have led creation communities collective self-consumption groups engage raise awareness among citizens, with goal achieving social, economic, environmental benefits shared generation consumption. In near future, more these initiatives are anticipated;...
The paper addresses the issue of concurrent use coastal areas for military training and civil activities, namely tourism. In paper, starting from consideration publicly owned assets as ‘semi-commons’, we propose a method based on comparison planning instruments related to different uses, try model them in grid, where weights degrees evaluation can be considered, order promote, rather than blocking, possible compatible with use. Sardinia (region island, Italy) are around 234 km2, which...
This research develops from a set of basic geographical questions about the outbreak Covid-19 out China in Europe The dealt with why and such strength Italy has been seriously hit, one most important cases terms death toll Hubei Province mainland China, world, making country worldwide study case for epidemic concentration diffusion Questions were also related to similarities among areas particularly Po Valley region Wuhan metropolitan province, divide virus spreading was identified between...
Despite its economic importance, quarrying activity for the production of natural aggregates (sand, gravel, and crushed stone) can result in overexploitation environment. This paper investigates current state recycled Sardinia Italy how to limit (NA) increase use (RA). The municipalities Cagliari, Sant’Antioco Tortolì Sardinia, Italy, were chosen as case studies because they fall within a particular territorial context. Owing geographic condition, island must produce own raw materials....
The 100th anniversary of Geddes’ book “Cities in Evolution” has just passed, and the authors this paper present a contribution towards understanding “how” Geddes might address paradigm “smart city”. Geddesian concepts have greatly revolutionized design building modern cities around world. As botanist scientist, incorporated concept appearance gardens when designing towns. His success pioneering planning his city residence Scotland inspired further involvement towns renovation old structures...
