Paesaggio e spazio pubblico: una proposta per il nuovo Contratto di Fiume Medio- Basso Tevere
No full textThis paper illustrates our River Contract proposal for the Tiber River in the only stretch currently uncovered, that runs through the Province of Rome. In order to make this proposal effective, territorial analyses were carried out, based on the Landscape Values, or rather the different landscape typologies, which the Tiber River creates in its surroundings. A lot of naturalistic and historical elements are present in our sample area: they could be valorized by this new planning tool, not only naturalistic engineering oriented, but also useful for generating a new urban design. The Tiber River and its tributaries define a category of Waterscapes; the numerous protected areas can be defined as Naturalscapes; the rural features are classified as Ruralscapes; the whole archaeological areas, castles, museums and ancient mills constitute the Culturalscapes category; finally, the Consular Roads and local railways contistute Infrastructuralscapes. Through these landscapes urbanism categories, we proposed the Regeneration Strategy for the Tiber River to connect all these Values for the new "urban" dimensio
The territorial framework of the river courses: a new methodology in evolving perspectives
Full text linkThis paper focuses on the importance of watercourses, on the presence of historical, naturalistic and environmental factors and on the necessary requirements to be strongly considered in planning tools that involve spatial development processes. The theoretical approach to this topic is then experimented on the case of the Tiber River in a particularly critical area of its course, which falls within the province of Rome. In order to overcome the complex difficulties that the river encounters along its path, the creation of a River Contract is conceived, as an innovative tool for the development of the river territory as a public space. The main issue of this article is to expose a methodology developed for the definition of landscape quality aims: it is mainly aimed at strengthening the idea that the River Contract could be an implementation stage of the Landscape Plan. The River Contract can play an important role in development strategies in Inner Areas and at the same time be an effective tool for recovering identity values. Effort was concentrated on the production of a territorial survey matrix that could be exploited by Local Authorities with the spirit of including the needs of the inhabitants
Smart city and alluvial park: the role of the urban green in the water management through historical and natural values
No full textThis paper analyses the possibility of managing the effects on water in urban centers. The water management is an important issue related to the smart cities, because of the climate changes. This problem is felt especially in urban settlements close to river areas, where there are also protected natural elements. Here the effects of climate change are stronger, particularly in the case of rains occurring with less frequency, but with much more intensity. This leads to a rapid rise in the river level that invades and disrupts the urban areas. The famous cases, such as Venice, are surrounded by minor cases, but not less interesting, especially in virtue of their innovative power in the field of urban design experimentation. The text identifies the potential of the alluvial park as an element to manage the flooding risk and to make the urban environment a smart city, presenting an application case in the town of Monterotondo Scalo, in the province of Rome in Italy. The alluvial park is a green area that combines the geomorphological characteristics of the territory with those of the landscape perception by local people: it is a public space that restores the landscape in its naturalness, in such a way as to reintegrate it into an urban discourse to front of the climate change effects. In the case of Monterotondo Scalo, located along the Tiber River, the alluvial park is perfectly in line with the characteristics of the place. Between the riverbed and the city center there is a thin strip devoted to agricultural uses, broken by the presence of a protected natural area, consisting of ex-clay quarries transformed into ponds. The alluvial park has been thought as an opportunity to reconfigure the green space so that it can be accessed and accessible. In this way, it could also become a natural expansion of the riverbed for its re-naturalized configuration. The proposal of the text is not an already realized project, but it is an investigation and a design experimentation that tries to give an answer to the requests of how to make a smart city. The fundamental aspect is that of the management of climate change inside the city: we do not want to provide a perfect solution, but a way of acting in situations that present emergencies in the urban environment and require project-type measures
The past and future of the Tiber river: urban and infrastructure transformation
No full textThis paper analyses the relationship between the infrastructures, the settlement system and the Tiber River course, it means between infrastructures and landscape. The selected sample area is within the Metropolitan City of Rome, in particular in the Municipality of Monterotondo. The area chosen for the project is located near the river and enhances the role of public space in the “Monterotondo Scalo” area, an urban settlement between two major infrastructures that take on a critical role, namely the Salaria Road - identified as a public space as a sort of commercial road - and the Tiber River - not visually perceptible but invasive with its floods that make the impassable road artery. The project strategy consists in defining a "connective" relationship between the urban centres and the natural green areas, which can become basic elements for the revision of the urban plan. The main aim is to enhance the territory in its landscape and to put all resources in a network of widespread public use. The specific aims consist in analysing the Resources and Values of the area; identifying suitable tools for a successful process; promoting effective communication techniques for stakeholder involvement and setting up positive relationship between urban and river land. The enhancement of the landscape values of this case-study focused attention on the concept of the re-appropriation of places under the European Landscape Convention. Moreover, for all proposals two kinds of evaluation process can be set up: “in itinere”, through the regular supervision of process progress and coherence, and “ex post”, through a questionnaire on the consistency between forecasts, proposals and process implementation
I livelli e gli strumenti per la pianificazione integrata del territorio
Full text linkQuesto contributo è la sintesi dei risultati della discussione del 30 Aprile 2021, nell’ambito del tavolo di confronto fra rappresentati di CENSU, INU e SIU sui possibili contorni di una legge di principi sul governo del territorio, con riferimento sia alle funzioni e competenze di governo del territorio fra i diversi livelli istituzionali, sia alla transcalarità della pianificazione e della natura dei corrispondenti strumenti di piano
Il parco agricolo e la città
No full textGli obiettivi di sostenibilità sono realizzabili solo attraverso una gestione molto attenta del territorio, che è il cardine del successo di tutta la proposta. Data la rilevanza geografica delle due lame di Costa Sud, essa può basarsi sui criteri di definizione dei contratti di fiume e di costa, che consenta di omogeneizzare e rendere sinergiche le iniziative e le tendenze delle diverse anime territoriali di Costa Sud: città, natura e agricoltura.
La gestione del Parco Agricolo Bari Costa Sud (PA) deriva da una cabina di regia “leggera”, non un nuovo ente con funzioni burocratiche, ma l’amministrazione comunale (o il I Municipio) che assume il ruolo di catalizzatore e incubatore per le diverse iniziative e coinvolge tutte le altre istituzioni presenti sull’area, con la logica del patto di fiume e costa. Istituzioni importanti sono le scuole, soprattutto le superiori, qui fortunatamente riunite nel plesso del Polivalente di Japigia, che appare il candidato ideale per ospitare buona parte delle iniziative del PA, sia per ragioni educative per gli studenti, sia perché le scuole possono offrire energie da dedicare a specifici progetti (PON, POR ecc.), al raccordo per gruppi di acquisto dei prodotti agro-alimentai, per la costituzione di reti civiche urbane
The Waterfront Development in Europe: Between Planning and Urban Design Sustainability
No full textThis paper analyzes the different possibilities of acting on natural infrastructures in order to guarantee a safe environment experience for citizens, especially in congested urban centers close to rivers. The paper identifies the urban policies and funding through which urban regeneration comes to life for waterfront development. In particular, different kinds of case studies are presented in two blocks. The first one acts on sustainable projects not linked by a general strategy, but which produce positive effects on the city in terms of safety. The second block collects experiences linked to general strategies that secure and encourage slow mobility, in order to regenerate the entire city network. The waterfront development can be implemented in several ways. Nevertheless, the collection of the case studies demonstrates that sustainable urban policies play a key role to regenerate, renew and innovate the natural infrastructures and that sustainable urban design has the tools to transform the routes in
roots, turning the habit of passing through a city onto the practice of living through the city
Landscape urbanism' interpretative models: a new vision for the Tiber River
No full textOur proposal identifi es the River Contract as a process to implement the urban public spaces through the redevelopment of the Tiber River as a natural infrastructure. The River Contract is a participatory process with operational implications for the redevelopment of river basins. The state of art of the River Contract in Italy has been analyzed. Our sample area is located in the Roma Province, along the Tiber River in the area from Fara Sabina to Castel Giubileo. This particular area is actually not covered by any Contract, although there are a lot of naturalistic elements and boundary conditions that could lead to a good success and unexpected implications of this new instrument, oriented not only to naturalistic engineering, but also to urban design. Values of this actually not covered area have been highlighted through some different landscapes urbanism’s categories: Waterscapes that include the Tiber River and other tributaries; Naturalscapes that include some Regional Natural Reserves and the “Laghetti in Località Semblera” Natural Monument and fi nally the Regional Natural Park of Veio; Ruralscapes that involve all rural zones, including areas related to CREA (Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l’analisi dell’economia agraria) and CNR laboratories; Culturalscapes as archaeological areas, castles and ancient buildings, museums and ancient mills; Infrastructuralscapes that involve Salaria, Tiberina, Flaminia, Nomentana Roman Consular Roads and local railways. The aim of our investigation, supported by territorial georeferenced analyses, is the Regeneration Strategy for the Tiber River to connect all these Values, related to different “Scapes” for the new “urban” dimension
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
