No full textI Quaderni di Careggi- Fifth issue- Landscape Observatories
Full text linkHaving regard to Recommendation CM/Rec (2008)3 on the Guidelines for the implementation of the
European Landscape Convention, “landscape observatories, centers and institutes” are one of the main instruments for the implementation of landscape policies (II.3.3). They facilitate the collection and exchange of information and study protocols between states and local communities.
This issue of the Quaderni di Careggi presents an international overview of the activities of landscape observatories, a reflection on their mission and effectiveness with regard to the ELC objectives, and a reflection on the relationships between the different subjects, thanks to the participation of institutional bodies, public officials as well as researchers and representatives of civil society. It reflects part of the scientific contributions which will be presented during the V Careggi Seminar (Florence, 27-28th June 2013)
Analisi delle trasformazioni degli usi dei suoli su base storica e catastale: il caso studio di Mongardino d’Asti (AT, Piemonte)
No full textThe Role of Landscape Observatories, Centers and Institutes. Networking European Landscape Observatories
No full textThe contribute of the three networks already established at the European level: RECEP-ENELC, UNISCAPE and CIVILSCAPE - to the ELC implementation is discussed. In addition, the paper examine the nature of "landscape observatories", arose as a mean for implementing the ELC by initatives of public bodies as well as of citizens and NGOs. In particular, many national and regional bodies have established institutional centres for landscape observation, which show a varied panorama of missions and relationships within the activities of spatial and landscape planning
Landscape and Agriculture 4.0: A Deep Farm in Italy in the underground of a Public Historical Garden
No full textEach landscape is the result of an encounter with the culture of a community and the physical features of a territory. The conservation of the historical, artistic, and cultural heritage
represents a priority for any society that wishes to draw on references for its civil progress. The aim of the present research is to combine the richness of the historical–cultural heritage with innovative forms of agriculture. It focuses on the recovery, in productive terms, of an air-raid shelter used during the SecondWorldWar, located in the center of Varese beneath the Estensi Historical Gardens. The project involves the construction of an underground Vertical Farm (Deep Farm) with the aim of
restoring a place of memory, making it more accessible than it is today, and raising public awareness about a new cultivation model. A Deep Farm was designed with a cultivation area in the middle, an educational room, and two hygiene rooms, one at each end of the tunnel. A Vertical Farm was conceived to be shared with local stakeholders to produce vegetables and to foresee an innovative reality in the field of education and tourism. This project has the ambition of representing a model
that could be used for similar Italian realities and enhancing meeting places between landscape and modern culture diversities
Conservation and Management of Agricultural Landscapes through Expert-Supported Participatory Processes: The “Declarations of Public Interest” in an Italian Province
Full text linkThe adoption of the European Landscape Convention by the member states of the Council of Europe emphasized the importance of raising awareness of, promoting and educating local communities in, and fostering the activism of all European citizens in the process of transforming the European landscape. The work carried out by the Landscape Observatory for Montferrat and Astigiano was to raise awareness in local communities regarding landscape protection processes that those communities could steer, as required by the Code of the Cultural and Landscape Heritage of the Italian State (2004). Consequently, for the first time, a participatory model was established in the province of Asti and the Piedmont region in Italy to support the community-driven requests for a special protection decree for some targeted areas. In this paper, the process and novel multisource methodology used for the two pilot cases are reported, where the landscape values to be protected were identified through local community involvement. Supported by the Landscape Observatory and experts, the broad participation allowed their recognition of Public Interest. These recognitions are relevant because they rely on a shared perspective of populations for the self-management of their landscapes. They represent an operational model for other local communities in the Council of Europe countries
Criteri e linee guida per l’inserimento paesaggistico di impianti fotovoltaici e a biogas
No full textDal rapporto statistico condotto dal Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (2014) sul solare e fotovoltaico, l’Italia è uno dei Paesi che maggiormente ha investito sulle energie rinnovabili. Negli ultimi anni infatti, si è assistito all'installazione sempre più diffusa di sistemi per la produzione di energia rinnovabile. Questi impianti, nonostante rivestano un importante peso nel panorama economico ed energetico, hanno però determinato nuove problematiche, sia paesaggistiche, sia sociali. La loro ubicazione, principalmente nelle parti pianeggianti, e quindi maggiormente visibili e percebili, ha causato profondi cambiamenti e trasformazioni. La presente ricerca ha come obiettivo quello di caratterizzare le tipologie d’impianto presenti in Piemonte, in particolare nella pianura vercellese, ed individuare le soluzioni progettuali più sostenibili per la loro mitigazione. Sono state selezionate alcune tipologie d’impianto (fotovoltaico a terra, fotovoltaico su strutture fisse apposite e biogas) e dopo approfondite analisi del contesto paesaggistico e delle stesse strutture è stato redatto un vademecum con le linee guida ed i criteri volti a mitigare gli insediamenti e/o a ridurre il loro impatto visivo. Dall’analisi condotta emerge come questi impianti dal punto di vista strutturale siano molto simili e per questo motivo, le linee guida individuate potranno essere facilmente replicabili in altre realtà se adattate al contesto paesaggistico
Urban Green Development and Resilient Cities: A First Insight into Urban Forest Planning in Italy
Full text linkThe research proposes an application of a modification of the 3–30–300 rule to identify areas that require Urban Forestry implementation in small and medium-sized Roman and/or medieval urban areas. The selected case study is that of Asti in Piedmont, Italy. An open source, cross-platform desktop geographic information system is used to process geospatial datasets via qualitative analyses of electoral sections (or wards). An analysis of the number and distribution of trees around each building is performed, in addition to the calculation of tree canopy cover and distance between buildings and green spaces. Findings reveal that 64 out of 70 wards have an average of at least three trees per building and sufficient green areas of at least 0.5 hectares within 300 m of the buildings. Additionally, the tree canopy cover ranges from approximately 0.6% (lowest) to about 55% (highest) for the electoral sections. Lastly, findings suggest that the highly built-up urban fabric in these areas may significantly affect the availability and quality of green spaces. In conclusion, the case study proves the benefits of applying the 3–30–300 rule to small and medium-sized urban areas using an integrated assessment approach based on nature-based solutions and ecosystem services
