    Il lavoro vuole essere un primo apporto per segnalare gli importanti sviluppi che in questi ultimi anni hanno avuto la produzione e la condivisione, nell’ambito del web, di prodotti cartografici in formato digitale e interattivo. Queste “carte” - normalmente associate ad indicazioni di tipo informatico quali dati, immagini fotografiche e attente descrizioni - contribuiscono a comporre il Mapmaking che, anche in un’ottica di cartografia partecipata, può supportare le locali politiche di sviluppo.The aim of this work is to highlight the important developments shown in recent years by the production and sharing of cartographic products in digital and interactive format on the web. These "maps" - normally associated with information technology such as data, images and careful descriptions - contributes to compose the Mapmaking that, also with a view to participatory cartography, can support local development policies

    Within the issues related to sustainable and smart territories, a prominent role is played by a better exploitation of renewable energies, green mobility and the efficient use of new technologies. There are, in fact, a different local and global policies, that aimed at encouraging less energy expenditure and the use of «alternative» means and modes of transport. In this context in which the debate on smart islands, a real territorial laboratories where innovative solutions for the optimal management of resources are studied. This work, through some case studies referring to the Canary Islands, which stands out in the island context for the growing adoption of virtuous behavior, aims to highlight the strategies and opportunities arising from a different use of renewable sources for the local economy

    Smart islands: a “new” dimension of geographical isolation of El Hierro (Canary Islands)

    Sustainability in tourism is now a fundamental requirement to allow the destinations concerned to compete in a sector that is becoming increasingly complex every day. Many references to this theme can be found in institutional documents at different territorial levels: a constant and joint commitment to sustainable, environmental, and socio-economic development is called for, capable of converting territories into “intelligent” spaces in the long term. The approach to sustainable territorial governance requires that the real component (public and private bodies, citizens, tourists, etc.) and the virtual component (ICT - Information and Communication Technologies) are cohesive to create a smart system. The work aims to highlight how the evolution and introduction of new technologies services for tourists (and not only) has allowed the island of El Hierro, in the Canary Islands, to change its image of "isolated" territory in a sustainable connected and accessible tourist destination

    Port authorities and smartness: the training policies of Spain's smart ports

    Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, blockchain, automation, IoT, and 5G represent fundamental knowledge for the evolution of the modern society. The smart label initially found breeding ground in urban settings giving rise to Smart Cities which are capable of efficiently supplying resources and services through the use of technology. The “new” incentives coming from Information Communication Technology (ICT) have over time positively involved other spatial realities as well: Smart Villages, Smart Tourism Destinations, and Smart Ports. The latter spatial context is proposed in all its complexity as it includes various stakeholders, internal and external, and requires constant operational commitment. In order to meet the sustainability goals dictated by international documents (Agenda 2030 and 2050), the operational chain of the port system must adopt an innovative approach capable of improving and optimizing the competitiveness and the active and functional activities of the operators involved. After a brief literature review of the concept of smartness around the port world, this paper aims to highlight the fundamental role played by Spanish Port Authorities to propose training projects that can also educate and make human capital “smart”

    Turismo religioso e chiese campestri come elementi di configurazione del paesaggio rurale in Sardegna

    L’incremento della domanda di turismo culturale, cioè della necessità di soddisfare i bisogni relativi all’aspirazione di conoscenza, di apprendimento e di originalità, pone il problema di approfondire e capire la relazione tra questa tipologia turistica, dai caratteri squisitamente esperenziali, e il loisir. Così, nell’ambito del turismo religioso il pellegrino/turista associa al viaggio total experience il suo bisogno di spiritualità nella ricerca continua di nuovi luoghi del «sacro». Proprio in Sardegna il patrimonio ecclesiale minore, come quello delle chiese campestri, espressione di una radicata religiosità popolare, sembra rappresentare un’interessante attrazione del turismo e, contemporaneamente, un’occasione strategica di sviluppo socioeconomico delle aree rurali con la promozione turistica integrata del territorio.The increase of cultural tourism and therefore the need of gaining knowledge on places, recall the need of deepening the understanding of the relation between this kind of tourism, as an experiential one, and leisure. So within religious tourism the pilgrim as a tourist couples to travel his/her need for a search of new sacre places. In Sardinia Region minor and rural churches are the product of a local popular religious mood and it seems to be an interesting tourism attraction and at the same time a strategic opportunity of socioeconomic development of rural areas with the local territory integrated touristic production

    Trasporti e innovazione per "ripensare" gli spazi. L'approccio smart della Regione Sardegna

    No full text
    In the international context, the issue of sustainability is widely discussed and studied under different disciplinary approaches. The 2030 Agenda, in addition to encouraging a transdisciplinary approach to analysis, points out that sustainable transport is integrated into several goals, which can be pursued only if adapted to different geographical contexts. In pursuing the principles of a cohesive and sustainable territorial development, the local authorities have worked, and are working, to implement a more efficient spatial organization. Specifically, in response to the negative consequences caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, several local policies are being implemented with more consciousness to create an intelligent transport system to improve accessibility to places and the quality of life of residents and guests. The work below, after a review of the literature on the paradigm of sustainable mobility, intends to analyze the main strategies implemented by the Region of Sardinia to configure itself as a real smart destination

    L’espansione delle aree logistiche e retroportuali: impatti sulle aree periurbane e periferiche. I casi di Trieste e Olbia

    No full text
    La crescente globalizzazione dei mercati e l'intensificarsi degli scambi commerciali hanno innescato un'espansione senza precedenti delle attività logistiche a livello mondiale. Questo fenomeno ha portato alla creazione di vaste aree logistiche e retroportuali, spesso localizzate in prossimità dei centri urbani e dei principali snodi infrastrutturali. Il presente lavoro si concentra sull’analisi degli impatti che tale espansione genera in particolare sulle aree periurbane e periferiche, aree spesso poco considerate dalle politiche urbane, a favore di quelle più centrali. Il lavoro si concentra sui casi di Trieste e Olbia, due città portuali con caratteristiche geografiche, storiche e socio-economiche sicuramente differenti, ma accomunate da processi di trasformazione territoriale legati allo sviluppo delle attività portuali e logistiche. L’oggetto di studio è pertanto legato alla convivenza delle aree urbane in espansione, soprattutto negli spazi periurbani e nelle periferie, con le aree logistiche e retroportuali, che ospitano sempre più operazioni di movimentazione, magazzinaggio, trasporto, in spazi lontani dalla banchina e dalla linea di costa, con impatti importanti dal punto di vista ambientale e sociale sulle comunità locali. Con il lavoro si intende proporre l’applicazione di una matrice delle interazioni fra aree urbane e logistico-portuali, di supporto agli strumenti di analisi e pianificazione territoriale, finalizzata a evidenziare le aree di criticità territoriale e di possibile intervento pianificatorio

    Percepción de los residentes de las Palmas de Gran Canaria ante el turismo de cruceros

    El turismo de cruceros ha reaparecido con fuerza desde los años ochenta, acelerándose su implantación en Europa -y en particular en Canarias-, desde la siguiente década. Gran parte de los estudios sobre el turismo de cruceros se han centrado en las características de la demanda (el perfil del turista, la capacidad de gasto, los impactos que causa, etc.). Sin embargo, la literatura sobre la percepción que tienen los residentes sobre este turismo es más bien escasa y donde se centra el actual estudio, en particular en el espacio más inmediato al Puerto de La Luz y de Las Palmas.Cruise tourism is a way of taking leisure time in our society. It is an activity that has become very popular since the eighties, accelerating its presence in Europe and, particularly,in the Canary Islands since the following decade. Many of the studies on cruise tourism have focused on the characteristics of the demand (including the profile of tourists, spending power, the impacts that this activity causes, etc.). However, the literature on the residents’ perception about this tourism where this study focuses on, is rather scarce is rather scarce, particularly in the space immediately to the Port of La Luz and Las Palmas

    Green Infrastructure and Slow Tourism: A Methodological Approach for Mining Heritage Accessibility in the Sulcis-Iglesiente Bioregion (Sardinia, Italy)

    In European countries many measures are carried out to improve the disadvantaged conditions and socio-economic marginality of rural areas in comparison with central places. These conditions also affect the quality of travel for visitors and tourists. Therefore, in response to a ‘new’ tourist demand, motivated also by the restrictions following the spread of the COVID-19 virus in recent years, the institutions and the different local actors are working more incisively to improve rural areas. The rural tourism services offer, combined with the Green Infrastructure (GI) project, at different scales—from local to regional—interesting territorial development strategies to achieve the Agenda 2030 objectives. This contribution considers the Sulcis-Iglesiente-Guspinese area, in the Sardinia Region (IT), as a case study. In this area, the landscape context is marked by past mining activity, and the project of a path of historical, cultural, and religious values has proven to be an activator of regenerative processes, in environmental, social, and economic terms. The present study proposes a methodological approach to develop an index (FI—feasibility index) to assess the feasibility of the Stop Places (SPs) project along a horse trail to integrate the current slow mobility of bicycles and pedestrians in the bioregion
