    ABSTRACT Transhumance and landscape: relationship between settlements and tractural roads in central southern Italy – The study analyzes the historical and spatial evolution of the settlement system in central-southern Italy, with reference to Abruzzo aquilano, affected by the phenomenon of transhumant farming. The main element examined is the historical evolution of the settlement structure with respect to the tractural ways, understood as a fundamental morphogenetic element of the urban systems and the landscape. The objective of the analysis is the identification of a series of elements useful for the protection and enhancement of the paths and of the historical and landscape pre-existences attributable to the phenomenon. The methodol-ogy is based on the analysis of the bibliography, especially recent innovative elements about the degradation of the “Tratturi” system, and, with cartographic analyzes and in situ surveys, it defines the critical issues and the territorial resources to lay the basis for a valorization project

    Impact of high-speed rail on income inequalities in Italy

    This paper investigates the effects of high-speed rail (HSR) on household income inequalities in Italy at the province level. Gini index, both including and excluding rent expenses, is used as dependent variable to evaluate the effects of the policy in the timeframe 2003–2019. Two-way fixed-effects model is employed to measure the relationship, while augmented synthetic control with staggered treatment adoption, and staggered difference-in- differences explore the sensitivity of results. Main findings suggest a general reduction of inequalities among the provinces receiving HSR treatment, but the effect is not long-lasting many years over the policy outset. Het- erogeneities arise depending on whether the station is basic-type or multimodal, and whether the treated province is core or intermediate. Small-sized provinces particularly benefited from the HSR introduction, showing a clear potential to pursue economic convergence objectives. Mechanisms analysis shows that HSR induced the reduction of household income inequalities by positively influencing per capita GDP and employment levels

    RIASSUNTO - La trasformazione digitale si associa ad eventi che hanno modificato la struttura economica e sociale, caratterizzandosi per un alto livello di complessità e la piena integrazione della rete di prodotti e dei processi produttivi. Perseguire l’obiettivo di integrare i processi di business e quelli produttivi, consentendo alla produzione di raggiungere sistemi flessibili, efficienti ed ecosostenibili con costante alta qualità e bassi costi di produzione e distribuzione (la cosiddetta Industria 4.0), realizza il suo paradigma nella convergenza tra il mondo fisico e quello virtuale. L’articolo propone un’analisi critica degli elementi strategici che caratterizzano la transizione da un modello produttivo sub-urbano tipico dei passati insediamenti industriali rispetto alle nuove tipologie insediative richieste dall’Industria 4.0 e dall’orientamento generale della progettazione, con particolare riferimento alla regione Abruzzo, incentrata a prevenire le crisi climatiche e le ingiustizie economiche e sociali.SUMMARY - Digital transformation is correlated to those events that modified social and economic structure, standing out for an high-level complexity besides full integration between goods network and production processes. By pursuing the goal of integrating business and productive processes - thus allowing production to meet flexible, efficient and eco-sustainable systems characterized by high quality and low production and distribution costs (so called Industry 4.0) - it makes possible to fulfil the paradigm of convergence between real and virtual world. This paper takes a deep insight into the strategic elements defining the main distinctive components by comparing the old suburban production model dating back between the Seventies and the Eighties and the new settlement typologies dictated by Industry 4.0 and by general design trend, with a focus on Abruzzo, hinged on the prevention of climatic crisis and socio-economic inequalities.
