Proposta di un’Area Marina Protetta per l’isola di Capri.
No full textDa sempre, i soci di Sub Capri, associazione ambientalista e di volontariato, si sono battuti per la tutela delle acque isolane e da tempo sono promotori della realizzazione di una Area Marina Protetta nell’isola di Capri. Essa rappresenta uno dei posti più esclusivi al mondo, non solo quale rinomata meta turistica e noto polo culturale, ma anche per le particolarità che offre dal punto di vista marino e subacqueo. L’iniziativa di creare una A.M.P. nell’isola ha vissuto un risveglio ed una accelerazione nell’estate 2009, a seguito di rilevanti problematiche legate alla sicurezza della vita in mare e all’allarme inquinamento vissuto nel periodo estivo in tutto il Golfo di Napoli ed anche a Capri. Così, in occasione di una riunione informale tenutasi ad agosto con rappresentanti delle due Amministrazioni isolane ed in stretta collaborazione con altre associazioni ambientaliste, tra le quali Marevivo, l’Associazione Sub Capri ha attestato la ferma volontà di proseguire nel suo datato impegno volto alla realizzazione dell’A.M.P., illustrando i risultati raggiunti e pianificando i passi successivi. In tale occasione, è stata registrata la volontà delle amministrazioni isolane di proseguire coralmente nella realizzazione dei passi successivi. L’Associazione ha così lavorato ad una bozza di progetto istitutivo di una A.M.P., discussa e calibrata nel corso di diversi mesi con molti rappresentanti istituzionali e della società civile isolana (pescatori, diportisti, noleggiatori, imprenditori balneari). Sentendosi assai vicina al territorio ed alle amministrazioni comunali, ha quindi presentato a queste ultime, nel gennaio 2010, una proposta istitutiva, assieme ad una richiesta ufficiale di ripresa l’iter ministeriale sospeso, istanze motivate dal grande interesse nutrito dall’Associazione per la tutela ambientale di Capri e per lo sviluppo generale dell’economia isolana. La proposta, così aggiornata, presentata all’odierno Convegno del Rotary, è frutto di una capillare conoscenza dell’ambiente subacqueo e della biodiversità esistente attorno all’isola di Capri, realizzata a seguito di diverse centinaia di immersioni effettuate in alcuni anni e della osservazione progressiva del territorio terracqueo

Automated model linkages: the example of CAPRI
No full textIncreasing demand for policy impact assessment regarding social, economic and environmental aspects asks for combined application of different models and tools. The paper discusses concepts and challenges in linking models, taking CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact) model as an example. CAPRI combines different economic models, spatial downscaling and interfaces to bio-physical components. 250 non-linear regional programming models with econometrically estimated costs functions cover the EU-27, Norway and Western Balkans. They are consistently linked to a spatial globally closed trade model, covering 60 countries / country blocks and 50 primary and secondary agricultural products. The link is based on sequential calibration: the market models prices drive the programming models whereas its supply and feed demand curves are calibrated to the programming models’ results, iteratively repeated to convergence. CAPRI integrates projection results from other model systems in the baseline generation and calibrates the supply models to econometric estimations or the supply response from other models as in SEAMLESS. The spatial down-scaling component breaks down the regional EU-27 results regarding cropping shares, crop yields, animal stocking densities and fertilizer application rates to about 140 000 1x1 km pixel cluster and links these results to a statistical meta model of the bio-physical model DNDC.model linkage, linking economic and environmental models, policy impact assessment, Agricultural and Food Policy, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods,
Biomass for energy production in the context of selected European and international policy objectives
No full textBiomass based energy production has attained a significant market share within the developing renewable energy market. In comparison to alternative renewable energy sources, biomass has several special features: it is not inexhaustible in the short term (limitation of arable land) and it is not only an energy source. Other usages like food or feed compete with energy production for this resource. A number of problems arise which have a direct impact on the fulfillment of policy objectives which are connected with its promotion. Primarily, the production of bioenergy has significant impacts on coupled biomass markets. Further, a change in production intensity or arable land use increases the use of nutrient loads and agro - chemicals. When evaluating renewable energy production, the wide range of political objectives has to be considered. Therefore, the focus of the overall study will be on three objective areas: promotion of the agricultural sector, environmental protection (reduction of GHG emissions) and maintenance of food supply security. The objective of this study is to combine an analysis of selected economic and ecological impacts of an increased biomass based energy production (primarily biofuels) under the assumption of European and international quantity targets by adjusting and applying the agricultural sector model CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact Analysis). This poster intends to display the methodical approach of the intended analysis.Bioenergy, Biofuels, Biomass production, Impact analysis., Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
CAPRI: Context-Aware Interpretable Point-of-Interest Recommendation Framework
No full textpeer reviewedPoint-of-Interest (POI) recommendation systems have gained popularity for their unique ability to suggest geographical destinations, with the incorporation of contextual information such as time, location, and user-item interaction. Existing recommendation frameworks lack the contextual fusion required for POI systems. This paper presents CAPRI, a novel POI recommendation framework that effectively integrates context-aware models, such as GeoSoCa, LORE, and USG, and introduces a novel strategy for the efficient merging of contextual information. CAPRI integrates an evaluation module that expands the evaluation scope beyond accuracy to include novelty, personalization, diversity, and fairness. With an aim to establish a new industry standard for reproducible results in the realm of POI recommendation systems, we have made CAPRI openly accessible on GitHub, facilitating easy access and contribution to the continued development and refinement of this innovative framework. 19.

EU-wide Distributional Effects of EU Direct Payments Harmonization analyzed with CAPRI
No full textWe argue in this paper that available econometric estimates of farmers’ risk aversion do not measure true farmers’ preferences towards risky outcomes. Available analyses are mostly of static nature and indeed measure the parameters of the synthetic optimal value function rather than the deep parameters of the utility functions. We derive analytical and empirical results in a simple dynamic and stochastic framework showing that that there is not a simple relationship between utility functions and value functions when agents have many decision variables. In particular we find that the value function does not necessarily exhibit DARA when the instantaneous utility function satisfies DARA and conversely. We recommend performing dynamic econometric estimation with at least farm production and consumption data.distributional effects, SPS, flat-rate payment, CAP reform, farm level model, CAPRI farm type layer, International Relations/Trade, Q11, Q12, Q18,
