Strategies for adapting the dense Italian cities to the climate change
No full textThe urban fabric of European cities is subject to significant pressures from human activity and climate change. The devastating effects of climate change on urban environments threaten the quality of life of citizens and ecosystems. In particular, historic and dense cities face challenges in adapting their established urban fabric devoid of green areas. The lack of green spaces for social gatherings becomes a critical issue in addressing the climate and environmental crisis. This essay identifies the 19th-century neighbourhood of San Salvario in Turin, Italy, as a case study to develop a morphological analysis aimed at proposing nature-based strategies to improve the adaptation potential and resilience of this urban fabric. The analysis also compares European best practices, such as the cities of Barcelona and Copenhagen, which serve as examples of adaptive planning. The design elements identified in these two case studies provide inspiration for hypothesising replicable architectural solutions in dense urban contexts such as the study area under consideration. Finally, the paper addresses the limitations arising from the lack of holistic strategic planning, which in the case of Turin is based on fragmented interventions disconnected from the existing ecological network rather than on a long-term plan. The paper also reflects on the need to include additional assessments of ecosystem services, taking into account their economic valuation
The relationship between walkability and landscape values in transportation. Examination of landscape values in urban area transportation axes
No full textThe existence of pedestrian areas in transportation integrate with the natural, cultural and social environment. In these areas the activities and uses in the neighborhood or around the neighborhood, accessibility, structuring of neighborhood street networks, pedestrian safety, attractiveness of the streets for users and user density of the streets are the most important components. Transportation systems in cities should be planned with landscape values linked to the urban identity, considering that the connected systems and walkable areas integrated with these areas are a part of the city. The aim of the study is to reveal the landscape values of walkable areas in vehicle-pedestrian based transportation axes and to reveal the potential of the area. In this context, the landscape values of Atatürk Street, which is located in the city core of Bursa and has both touristic, social and commercial functions, in pedestrian transportation were evaluated on the basis of walkability on the sidewalks, and a partially sufficient result was reached. As a result, landscape plans should be developed that will support the use of streets that can respond to transportation values and that can be easily experienced by all user groups, where urban identity is emphasized in transportation axes.
 
The deprivations and inequalities based on settlement typologies and urban form: the case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
No full textInformal settlement is the physical expression of inequalities and deprivations, as it indicates the failure of housing policy and the resultant gaps in living conditions. Based on the aforementioned grounds, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the physical extent and proportion of populations living in formal and informal settlements in Addis Ababa from 2011 to 2022. The study differentiated informal and formal settlement areas in Addis Ababa based on the slum ontology concept at the settlement level, a literature review, local contexts, and ground verification. Based on the morphology of formal and informal settlement areas in Addis Ababa, the study estimated the proportion of the population living in informal settlements for 2010 and 2020. The 2010 and 2020 informal settlement populations were extracted based on the 100-meter gridded spatial population data obtained from WorldPop. The study used the 2011 aerial photograph and the 2022 Google Earth image for interpretations and differentiations of formal and informal settlements. Then, the research analyzed the spatial extent, population level, and trends of formal and informal settlements. The major findings of the study indicated that informal areas constituted 61% and 59% of the residential land use in 2011 and 2022, respectively. In the intervening period (from 2011 to 2022), the informal and formal settlements of Addis Ababa have grown annually by 2.92% and 4.98%, respectively. In 2010, 67.9% of the population in Addis Ababa lived in informal settlements, while the population living in informal settlements was 53.8% in 2020. The deprivation areas versus population size study indicated the divided city pattern of urban inequality revealed by the concentration of a large deprived population in the inner-city slums and peri-urban areas. The findings also indicated appropriate area-based policy and planning interventions to reach large populations disproportionally deprived to bridge the gap in urban inequality
Energy transition and renewable energy policies in Italy
No full textStarting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of continuously updating emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, this section, International Regulations and Legislation for the Energy Transition, explores the challenges and opportunities in the urban context to understand the evolving landscape of the global energy transition. In this direction, the contribution of this review note examines contribution examines the role of cities in the energy transition, focusing on Italian and European policies and regulations, with particular attention to Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). It analyzes the Renewable Energy Directive II and its transposition in Italy, highlighting challenges and the need for coordination between urban and energy planning
Fotografia e paesaggio in provincia di Avellino nell'età liberale e durante il fascismo
Full text linkIn my essay I'va enveloped the first research about the relaion beteween photography and landscape in Irpinia in the liberal age, analyzing the three main fields, based above all on the photographic culture of the national press in that period: the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Montevergine, on the mountain called Partenio; the photographic reportages about the earthquakes in 1910 and in 1930; the iconography of the peasent world.Il saggio proposto rappresenta la prima ricerca sul rapporto tra fotografia e paesaggio in Irpinia nell'età liberale e ne esamina i tre ambiti di documentazione più rilevanti, basandosi soprattutto sulla cultura fotografica della pubblicistica nazionale: il pellegrinaggio religioso al santuario di Montevergine, sul Monte Partenio; i fotoreportage sui terremoti del 1910 e del 1930; l'iconografia del mondo contadino
Frères, universités et ... chaussures. L'exégèse de la Règle franciscaine entre théologie et droit au XIIIe siècle
No full textThe article aims to give an insight into the importance of the thirteenth-century exegesis of the Minorite Rule for the history of late medieval culture. After showing how the friars commented on their Rule, what difficulties they had to face, what ends they pursued, and what was at stake, the contribution focuses on the relationship that the Minors established with the contemporary theological and juridical culture elaborated in the most important universities of the time. By reviewing the exegesis, proposed by some commentators, on an apparently entirely marginal subject, such as the footwear that the friars were supposed to wear, the article shows how contemporary juridical and theological reflections on the limits and value of the law were originally grafted – through, in particular, the considerations on the derogation by necessity and on the division of the prescriptions into precepts and counsels – into the discourse on the Minorite Rule.The article aims to give an insight into the importance of the thirteenth-century exegesis of the Minorite Rule for the history of late medieval culture.

Tras mostrar cómo los frailes comentaron su Regla, qué dificultades tuvieron que afrontar, qué fines perseguían y qué estaba en juego, la contribución se centra en la relación que los Menores establecieron con la cultura teológica y jurídica contemporánea elaborada en las universidades más importantes de la época. A través de la revisión de la exégesis, propuesta por algunos comentaristas, sobre un tema aparentemente del todo marginal, como era el calzado que debían llevar los frailes, se intentará mostrar cómo las reflexiones jurídicas y teológicas contemporáneas sobre los límites y el valor de la ley se injertaron originariamente – a través, en particular, de las consideraciones sobre la derogación por necesidad y sobre la división de las prescripciones en preceptos y consejos – en el discurso sobre la Regla de los Minoritas.Der Artikel soll einen Einblick in die Bedeutung der Exegese der Minoritenregel aus dem dreizehnten Jahrhundert für die Geschichte der spätmittelalterlichen Kultur geben. Nachdem gezeigt wurde, wie die Brüder ihre Regel kommentierten, mit welchen Schwierigkeiten sie konfrontiert waren, welche Ziele sie verfolgten und was auf dem Spiel stand, konzentriert sich der Beitrag auf die Beziehung, die die Minoriten zur zeitgenössischen theologischen und juristischen Kultur herstellten, die an den wichtigsten Universitäten jener Zeit entwickelt wurde. Anhand der von einigen Kommentatoren vorgeschlagenen Exegese zu einem scheinbar völlig nebensächlichen Thema wie dem Schuhwerk, das die Brüder tragen sollten, soll gezeigt werden, wie die zeitgenössischen juristischen und theologischen Überlegungen zu den Grenzen und dem Wert des Gesetzes ursprünglich in den Diskurs über die Minoritenregel eingeflossen sind - insbesondere durch die Überlegungen zur Abweichung durch Notwendigkeit und zur Aufteilung der Vorschriften in Gebote und Ratschläge.L’article vise à donner un aperçu de l’importance de l’exégèse de la Règle franciscaine au XIIIe siècle pour l'histoire de la culture médiévale tardive. Après avoir montré comment les frères commentaient leur Règle, quelles difficultés ils devaient affronter, quels buts ils poursuivaient et quels étaient les enjeux, la contribution se concentre sur la relation que les Mineurs établissaient avec la culture théologique et juridique contemporaine élaborée dans les universités les plus importantes de l’époque. En examinant l’exégèse, proposée par certains commentateurs, d'un sujet apparemment tout à fait marginal, tel que les chaussures que les frères devaient porter, on tentera de montrer comment les réflexions juridiques et théologiques contemporaines sur les limites et la valeur de la loi se sont originellement greffées - à travers, en particulier, les considérations sur la dérogation par nécessité et sur la division des prescriptions en préceptes et en conseils - dans le discours sur la Règle des Mineurs
Parlare di niente. Appunti per un lessico dell’inesistente
Full text linkIn contemporary linguistic studies, some classical topics of philosophical speculation, such as being and definition, have been revisited, attracting the interest of linguists for a different perspective of inquiry. In this article, we propose to extend this interest to an equally fascinating topic: niente (nothing, nothingness). Niente and many other lexemes (starting with the near-synonym nulla) form the lexicon of the non-existent, present in Italian as in all natural languages. To begin the work, we will discuss some metalinguistic descriptions.Negli studi linguistici contemporanei sono stati rivisitati alcuni temi classici della speculazione filosofica, come l’essere e la definizione, che hanno attirato l’interesse dei linguisti per una diversa prospettiva d’indagine. In questo articolo proponiamo di allargare l’interesse a un tema altrettanto affascinante: niente. Niente e molti altri lessemi (a partire dal quasi-sinonimo nulla) formano il lessico dell’inesistente, presente in italiano come in tutte le lingue naturali. Per iniziare il lavoro, discuteremo alcune descrizioni metalinguistiche
Storia di un lungo e non del tutto compito percorso: Costituzione e ambiente in una prospettiva diacronica
Full text linkThe contribution analyses, in a diachronic perspective, the importance assumed by the environment in the Italian Constitution also in the framework of the European integration process, to analyze the contents of constitutional law no. 1/2022, with which articles 9 and 41 of the Constitution are revised, in order to evaluate their innovative scope, as well as the possible lines of implementationIl contributo analizza, in una prospettiva diacronica il rilievo assunto dall’ambiente nella Costituzione italiana anche nel quadro del processo di integrazione europea, per giungere ad analizzare i contenuti della legge costituzionale n. 1/2022, con la quale si revisionano gli artt. 9 e 41 Cost., al fine di valutarne la portata innovativa, nonché le possibili linee di implementazion
La tutela del paesaggio: verso un nuovo bilanciamento con la salvaguardia dell’ambiente dopo la riforma dell’art. 9 della Costituzione?
Full text linkThe essay aims at assessing the effects of law no. 1/2022 of constitutional revision that led to the introduction of «the protection of the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems, also in the interest of future generations» within the fundamental principles of the Constitution and the list of goods protected by Article 9 of the Constitution. In particular, the essay, through a normative and jurisprudential analysis, dwells on the critical issues related to the balancing that must be carried out, from time to time, between the protection of the environment and the protection of the landscape, understood in its cultural meaning, as the «forma del Paese»Il saggio si propone di valutare gli effetti della legge n. 1/2022 di revisione costituzionale che ha portato all’introduzione della «tutela dell’ambiente, della biodiversità e degli ecosistemi, anche nell’interesse delle future generazioni» all’interno dei principi fondamentali della Costituzione ed in particolare del novero dei beni tutelati dall’articolo 9 della Costituzione. In particolare il saggio, attraverso un’analisi normativa e giurisprudenziale, si sofferma sulle criticità relative al bilanciamento che dovrà essere effettuato, di volta in volta, tra la tutela dell’ambiente e la tutela del paesaggio, inteso nella sua accezione culturale, quale «forma del Paese
La revisione della forma di governo tra noto e ignoto
Full text linkthe paper proposes a critical analysis of the model of simultaneous election of the Prime minister and of the Houses of Parliament, as defined by the project of constitutional reform set forth by the Italian Government in the Senate’s Act no. 935. This analysis is conducted also by making some suggestions from a comparative perspective. Behind such transformations it is possible to see - before a mere modification of the relations between governmental bodies – a problematic redefinition of some essential traits of the very idea of representative democracyil lavoro analizza criticamente il modello di contestualità tra elezione del Presidente del Consiglio dei ministri e camere parlamentari prospettato dal d.d.l. di revisione costituzionale, di iniziativa governativa, A.S. n. 935, proponendo alcuni spunti anche in chiave comparativa. Dietro tali innovazioni si intravede, prima che un intervento sulla configurazione delle relazioni interorganiche, una problematica ridefinizione di alcuni tratti della idea stessa di democrazia rappresentativ
