Climate Action Planning. I casi di Boston e Rotterdam
No full textI governi locali che da tempo hanno iniziato ad affrontare le sfide poste dal cambiamento climatico, hanno prodotto sullo scenario internazionale strumenti innovativi di pianificazione climate proof orientati alla definizione di modelli insediativi a basso impatto in grado di promuovere la resilienza urbana e riattivare interi settori delle economie locali (Basset, Shandas, 2010). A seguito del crescente riconoscimento da parte dell’Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, del significativo contributo delle aree urbane alle emissioni di gas serra, e a pochi mesi dall’approvazione della COP21 di Parigi, anche l’Italia, particolarmente debole nella politica di protezione del clima, ha concluso l’elaborazione di una Strategia Nazionale di Adattamento ai Cambiamenti Climatici.
Il presente contributo intende esplorare e confrontare le iniziative di programmazione e pianificazione per la mitigazione e l’adattamento climatico attraverso l’analisi di due casi studio di rilievo internazionale scelti tra il panorama statunitense ed europeo, al fine di trarne un prezioso contributo per il contesto nazionale. Attraverso la rilettura del Climate Action Plan di Boston, ed il confronto diretto con la Rotterdam Climate Initiative, entrambe avviate a partire dal 2007, verranno indagati gli aspetti inerenti l’approccio strutturale del processo di formazione dei piani, gli indirizzi strategici per promuovere la resilienza urbana e le climate governance a supporto dei piani
“Can Cabanyes, a Green Infrastructure for Local Economy: the Ecological and Social Restoration of the Area”
No full textThe area of “Can Cabanyes” was a residual part of one of the most important industrial pols in the
metropolitan area of Barcelona. In 2002, the Administration invested European funds to start a recovery
process of the whole area. The first step was to create a constructed wetland improving the water quality
that coming from the nearby sewage treatment plant. Afterwards, a landscape restoration was incited which
led to the recognition of the area within “Natura 2000”. Moreover, its social use was implemented through
policies aimed at highlighting the identity of the area: the project proceeded by building an environmental
educational center, a birds’ observatory and a pedestrian and cycle path that runs through the area of Can
Cabanyes to reconnect the existing wood located at the edge of the industrial pole and the Circuit of
Catalonia.
Nowadays, Can Cabanyes has become one of the most valuable regenerated landscapes of the city of
Granollers. This area has activated a virtuous cycle of green economy linked to the waste water recovery.
In fact, the city uses reclaimed water for municipal services (green areas and street cleaning) and soon
it is expected to supply reused water to the industry. Furthermore, the environmental and landscape
enhancement has restored a habitat for many animal species that reappeared in the area. The design of the
path called “Green Belt” has also contributed to strengthening the social value of the area. The trail was
realized in co-planning with the neighboring municipality of Montmeló with the aim of giving back portions
of abandoned wood in a highly urbanized area to the citizens. Can Cabanyes has been converted from a
forgotten place to a natural area of municipal interest, that may contribute to the city economy and to the
recovery of the existing environmental resources

L’urbanistica dei tre insediamenti umani
No full textIn occasione dei 50 anni trascorsi dalla morte di Le Corbusier, nel Dipartimento di Pianificazione, Design e Tecnologia dell'architettura è stata avviata una lettura critica e interdisciplinare delle sue opere. Sono stati scelti i volumi la cui filiera temporale potesse restituire una sorta di percorso lungo il quale incrociare le sue teorie sul progresso urbano e civile. Il lavoro critico di analisi del testo "L’urbanistica dei tre insediamenti umani" è stato condotto attraverso un tutoraggio scientifico che ha coinvolto i docenti della collegiale e i dottorandi.On the occasion of the 50 years since the death of Le Corbusier, in the Department of Planning Design Technology , a critical and interdisciplinary journey was started in his written works and the close encounter with 15 of these . Those volumes were chosen from which the temporal chain could return a sort of path along which cross his theories on urban and social development . This contribution has been working on the text " L’urbanistica dei tre insediamenti umani"
Smart Specialisation Strategies for Supporting Europe 2020 Vision. Looking at the American Experience: the Case of the Boston Area
Full text linkThese reflections aim to highlight the crucial challenge that European Regions are called to face applying the ‘Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization’ policy for pursuing the virtuous implementation of EU Cohesion Policy and ‘Europe 2020’ Agenda. The original cultural style of the ‘US Smart Specialization model’, supported by the ‘cluster theory’ and the ‘innovation paradigm’, represents a significant lesson in Boston area

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
