    LA VALUTAZIONE DELLE POTENZIALITÀ TERRITORIALI ATTRAVERSO UN APPROCCIO MULTIDIMENSIONALE PER LE AREE INTERNE

    In Italy, fragile territories are often characterized by depopulation, degrade and minimal essential services; according to different definitions, they’re also called marginal areas, inland areas, peripheral areas and from 2013 inner areas. In recent years, a national policy funded 72 pilot cases to enhance territorial potential to resiliently counteract the demographic decline and the socio-economic weaknesses. With the aim of standardizing an evaluation methodology, the paper started from an in-depth literature review, highlighting that territorial vulnerability and vibrancy are never explored in non-urban contexts. In order to close this gap, authors propose a multidimensional methodological approach consisting of six-step-quantitative analyses based on specific dimensions and indicators. Shifting from the vulnerability approach, the use of different analytical and evaluation tools is suggested to explore territorial vibrancy as local development trigger. The results showed that the proposed approach can clearly support the territory exploration and lead to the development of enhancement policies in fragile areas as those analyzed in the context of the “Branding4Resilience” research project

    A dynamic GIS for the sustainable economic development of the Ivrea UNESCO site: potentialities and constraints of a knowledge exchange process.

    The UNESCO site “Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century” is a large urban area designed and developed under the leadership of Adriano Olivetti. It consists of more than 100 private buildings, valuable examples of Modern Heritage, and more than 60 elements related to public and private infrastructures and green areas. Currently the whole site necessitates to be redeveloped: the assets are mostly unused or underused and the streets and green areas condition does not foster the acknowledgment of the site’s value, as well as its accessibility and enjoyment. Its enhancement and future management is a great challenge for the Municipality of Ivrea and a dynamic GIS developed, improved and implemented by the Politecnico di Torino over the last few years may effectively support this delicate phase. The aim of this paper is to highlight how the activation of a knowledge exchange process between the Politecnico di Torino and the Municipality of Ivrea may support the sustainable economic development of the Ivrea UNESCO site. In particular, it wants to demonstrate some potentialities of the GIS not only for the Knowledge Management, but also for the cost management of a series of redevelopment projects concerning both the buildings and the grey and green infrastructures of the UNESCO site. The redevelopment projects of streets, squares, car parks and public green areas constitute urgent and priority actions that the Municipality may quickly and directly activate in parallel with the ongoing mediation process with the buildings’ private owners and other territory stakeholders. The positive impacts that the redevelopment of these infrastructures could generate go beyond the site’s enhancement. Their improvement is able to foster the real estate market trends, supports the economic operators that currently operate in a rather fragile context and produce benefits for all the citizens (in terms of increase of the welfare, urban services equipment and the environmental condition). The Municipality of Ivrea could steer numerous strategic actions in this direction by investing in public projects able to generate positive impacts on the community. To achieve this important and ambitious goal, a knowledge exchange process should be activated between the Municipality of Ivrea and the Politecnico di Torino, which aims to be ever more proactive in its third mission activities, to further customize the current version of the GIS. By this way, the case of Ivrea could become a best practice of territory sustainable development and an example of fruitful collaboration between Public Administrations

    Energy Performance Certificates and Housing Transaction Prices: Empirical Evidence from Market Data Analysis

    In recent years, the intersection between real estate market dynamics and environmental sustainability has gained increasing attention, particularly in light of the European Union’s regulatory efforts to decarbonize the building sector. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), initially conceived as informational tools, are now emerging as significant drivers of housing prices and investment decisions. This study investigates the impact of EPCs on real estate transaction prices within the urban context of Turin, Italy, with a specific focus on spatial effects often neglected in traditional analyses. Using a dataset of over 5,000 property listings from 2022–2023, a Spatial Error Model (SEM) is implemented to capture spatial autocorrelation and improve model accuracy. The results reveal a statistically and economically significant “green premium” for high-efficiency dwellings (EPC A and B–C) and a corresponding “brown discount” for inefficient properties (EPC F–G). These findings not only validate the role of EPCs in price formation but also align with the broader objectives of the EU Green Deal and the Green Asset Ratio (GAR), which increasingly integrates energy performance into financial valuation. The study offers novel insights into the spatial valuation of sustainability and suggests that market forces, coupled with regulatory instruments, are reshaping investment patterns in the built environment

    Enhancing the Anglona Coros Territory:A Tourist Itinerary Design and Evaluation Process

    No full text
    Sustainable and cultural tourism challenges today cannot fail to deal with the objectives of the ONU Agenda 2030. Furthermore, in many European regions sustainable and cultural tourist strategies and activities frequently extend into territories where marginalization, progressive depopulation and abandonment processes represent critical dynamics. This article focuses the Italian framework by analyzing two items: 1) the fragile contexts and the link with the characteristics of tourist attractiveness, attempting to go beyond the current interpretations and positions; 2) the scientific debates on the themes of sustainable and cultural tourism as triggers for territorial valorization. The article proposes a methodological approach aimed to support local authorities in designing tourist itineraries by taking into account the stakeholders’ preferences through a Conjoint Analysis model and by evaluating the territorial potential by means of spatial analyses based on crossdimensional indexes and indicators. In particular, this article aims to reflect on the future of the Anglona Coros inner and fragile territory in the Sardinia Region (Italy) as a potential area of tourism development. With these multiple perspectives, the conditions of marginality and fragility are analyzed and the proposed methodological approach is applied in order to outline a new tourist itinerary able to activate a dialogue with the local Public Administrations and with all the stakeholders who have already shown interest in fostering a decision-making process and developing new local tourist strategies
