Toward a Technical Characterization of Green Neighborhoods in North-Eastern Italy
No full textRenewable Energy Communities (RECs) introduced by EU directive 2018/2001 offer a promising approach to achieve the goal of “Zero Energy” at a wider scale. A conscious energy transition process, challenging the upgrade of existing building stock, overcomes actions on individual buildings by the potential of green neighborhoods, where energy mutualization allows for more efficient use of resources and opens up possibilities for retrofitting existing buildings and community involvement in long-term participatory processes, not limited to RECs conception but leading to shared management of the neighborhood. A wider definition (sustainable and efficient district) is desirable to bring together sustainability issues, not limited to decarbonization goals. Thus, establishing a SED requires information support, monitoring facilities, and training networks, support from public and private actors, and technical criteria for assessing opportunities and potentials. Identifying suitable sites for SEDs cannot disregard a case-based strategy that also considers the impacts of parameters related to urban form. Community involvement must also be evaluated, though limitations could be found in sharing technical information, needs changing over time, increasing requirements, and conflicting interests. The University of Trieste is actively involved in promoting and co-designing public housing projects. In particular, this contribution defines the contents to evaluate a SED, drawing up efficiency and sustainability criteria, capable of assisting local stakeholders, designers, and citizens

Spreading Universal Design culture: a challenge to rethink more inclusive cities. The role of universities in the “FVG ACCESSIBILE” case study
No full textConsidering Goal 11 of the SDG's, making cities inclusive, sustainable, and safe is an important step for sustainable development and for fighting social inequalities. Calling on the entire civil society, to date it can be said that efforts to address this challenge are and will be massive. What approaches and tools should be adopted? What is the role of universities? The paper presents an ongoing experience born out of a mutual confrontation between the disciplines of urban planning and technical architecture, based on the application of Universal Design (UD) in the field of planning policies as a key to achieving truly inclusive design solutions. The paper also highlights the strategic role of the regional research system, represented by the University of Trieste and the University of Udine, in the FVGAccessibile project, an initiative co-designed and co-developed by different actors in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. In the general backwardness context in which Italy is still far from achieving more accessible environments for all, the introduction of UD at the core of the implementation of the Regional Law no. 10/2018 on spatial accessibility was a key step in pioneering a process of cultural change

Diagnosis In Vietnam, males of both P. croconota and P. verticalis with large egg-shaped orange markings on dorsum of synthorax but those in P. croconota shorter and broader than in P. verticalis (Fig. 6 C–D), less saturated in colouration. In males of P. croconota, head with two small spots dorsally adjacent to ocellar tubercle (Fig. 6A) but with large transverse stripe in P. verticalis (Fig. 6E). Cerci in P. verticalis mostly black except for indistinct basal yellow stripe dorsally (Fig. 7 D–E) while cerci dorsally entirely yellowish or bluish in P. croconota (Fig. 7 A–B); ultimate segment of genital ligula of P. verticalis acute at apex (Fig. 7F) but blunt in P. croconota (Fig. 7C). Posterior pronotal lobe of prothorax of female P. verticalis characterized by two thin, long horns (Fig. 13 G–H) while robust and short in P. croconota (Fig. 13 A–B). Remarks Bui (2007) recorded Elattoneura sp. at Phu Quoc Island, which subsequently was reidentified as a Prodasineura sp. by Do et al. (2011). Based on examination of specimens, it was identified as P. verticalis by Kompier (2019). This paper confirms the identification of the Prodasineura species from Phu Quoc Island recorded in Bui (2007), Do et al. (2011) and Kompier (2019) was P. verticalis. Asahina (1997) presumed that a male from Mai Chau of Hoa Binh Province (northern Vietnam) was probably P. verticalis (see in Asahina 1997: 20, figs 7–8). However, according to Asahina, this was “a pale bluish striped, black-bodied species”, which is not consistent with P. verticalis with orange stripes. Asahina’s drawing shows a species with thin antehumeral stripe, which may well be Prodasineura coerulescens, which occurs also in the similar lowland limestone forest in Quang Binh Province, rather than P. hoffmanni (see in Asahina 1997: 20, figs 7–8) which is recorded further south from primary forest of the Central Highlands or evergreen forests in Cat Tien National Park. Asahina’s (1997) male should be re-examined to establish its identity with certainty.

Trend of metabolic risk factors among the population aged 25-64 years for non-communicable diseases over time in Vietnam: A time series analysis using national STEPs survey data
No full textIntroductionThe study aims to examine the trends of 4 metabolic NCDs risk factors including raised blood pressure, increased blood glucose, elevated blood lipids and overweight/obesity over the last 10 years in Vietnam as well as examine these trends among different sub-population by geographical area, gender, and age groups. MethodsThe study combined the national representative data from three rounds of STEPs survey in Vietnam conducted in 2010, 2015, and 2020 on people aged 25-64 years. The overall prevalence of each metabolic factor together with 95% CI for each time point as well as the stratified prevalence by rural/urban, male/female, and 4 separated age groups were calculated and considered the sampling weight. Cochran-Armitage test for trend was used to test for the differences in the prevalence over time. ResultsThe prevalence of hypertension, overweight/obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia among the population aged 25-64 years old was 28.3, 20.57, 6.96, and 15.63%, respectively in the year 2020. All NCD metabolic risk factors examined in this analysis show significantly increasing trends over time. For most age groups, the increasing burden of NCD metabolic risk factors was more significant during the period 2015-2020 compared to the period 2010-2015. Male population and population aged 55-64 experienced the most dramatic changes in the burden of all NCD metabolic risk factors. ConclusionTo reverse the increasing trend of NCD metabolic factors in Vietnam, intervention, and policy need to apply a comprehensive life course approach

A case study on Phu Quoc island, Vietnam: Is Tourism an useful tool towards Sustainability?
No full textTourism sector has been evidenced and demonstrated in a lot of academic research studies and journals that how significant its potential is for stimulating growth and promoting development. Yet, the contrary of tourism development and its negative impacts on the environment has also been raised and criticized by a number of researchers (Getz, 1983; O’Reilly, 1986; McCool & Lime, 2001). In response to this, the term sustainable tourism development has become popular worldwide for these last decades. As a developing country in Southeast Asia, the main focus of Vietnam government is to promote tourism into a ‘‘spearhead’’ economic sector with ‘‘sustainable development’’ which can create momentum for other sectors. Phu Quoc Island is one the most visited places in Vietnam. The island had almost 4 million tourist arrivals for the first nine months in 2019. Currently, a large number of large-scale projects and major high-end developments with high quality are implemented to make Phu Quoc one of the most attractive destinations in the tourism world map. Thus, the aim of this paper is to analyze the complexity of impacts that tourism development has brought to Phu Quoc and thereby consider its contributions on sustainable development of Phu Quoc in long-term perspective. In addition, this paper also seeks to address the challenges that Phu Quoc is facing whilst implementing tourism development plans towards sustainability
