CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI ED ECOANSIA. IL TURISMO DI PROSSIMITÀ NELL’AREA TERMINIO CERVIALTO
No full textClimate change and eco-anxiety. Proximity tourism in Terminio Cervialto area. – Based on the presentation of the relationship between eco-anxiety and demand-side tourism behavior, the present research paper, first aims to carry out some critical considerations on the value (including future) of proximity tourism in the process of climate change mitigation. Empirical study – using a qualitative survey of a sample of residents in the Campania Region – will help to understand the determinants of travel destination choices and, in particular, the aspects that might determine a preference for proximity tourism
HERITAGE AND PRESIDIUM” DELLE AREE RURALI. L’ESPERIENZA DI “VILLAGE OF TRADITION”
No full textHeritage and presidium of rural areas. The Village of Tradition experience. The study illustrates a Project
for the regeneration of rural areas, focusing on social resilience. Based on the based on the evolution of the scientific
interpretation of the concept, the paper opens a reflection on the resilience of the elderly as a crucial element for the
vitality and sustainability of rural communities. Life experiences and a profound knowledge of local traditions constitute
a wealth of knowledge that can act as a catalyst for the regeneration of places, as emerged from the evidence gathered
during the early stages of the Campania Region’s Village of Tradition Project
BEN-ESSERE: UNA PROSPETTIVA TURISTICA PER IL TERRITORIO PICENTINO
No full textSince well-being is an increasingly widespread need, fusion with tourism represents an emerging area of interest. In fact, the contribution explores the changes in tourist motivations with an overview of theoretical approaches, and then carries out qualitative research that highlights which aspects nowadays influence travel choices.
Subsequently, an experimental laboratory was created on the territory of the Picentini Mountains (internal area of the
Campania Region) to understand whether it is possible to design a perspective of tourism development towards wellbeing for the area under study
La visione rigenerativa per il recupero della marginalità di colline salernitane
No full textThe scientific paper responds to the question as to whether the prospect of regenerative sustainability could offer an opportunity to recover the marginality of internal and rural areas. To that end, it moves from some reflections on the path of affirmation of regenerative development, regardless from its univocal and shared definition, it also identifies that factor aimed at facilitating the implementation of the new approach and then reinterpreting it in the light of geographical knowledge: the culture of one's landscape, as awareness collective of the historical value of identity characteristics
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
