    Nowadays developments in microcomputers offer reliable tools to support planner’s professional practice. While good results have been achieved in spatial management processes, there is still a lack of reliable methodology for developing strategic planning support system. Moreover recent trends in the planning paradigm face the interaction of specialists coming from different disciplines in an interdisciplinary process of planning and managing environmental transformations. In the light of these research issues the authors aim to report the application of Spatial Information Technologies to urban re-development in cultural heritage sensitive historic city centres

    Grouping complex systems: a weighted network comparative analysis

    No full text
    In this study, the authors compare two inter-municipal commuting networks (MCN) pertaining to the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily, by approaching their characterization through a weighted network analysis. They develop on the results obtained for the MCN of Sardinia (De Montis et al. 2007) and attempt to use network analysis as a mean of detection of similarities or dissimilarities between the systems at hand
