Addressing land use planning: A methodology for assessing pre- and post-landslide event urban configurations
Full text linkWith urban areas projected to accommodate 68 % of the global population by 2050, the imperative for inclusive, safe, and sustainable cities becomes paramount. In the timeline of urban centers, landslides represent one of the most destructive phenomena, involving several resources allocation with private and public investments, sometimes claiming human lives. By synergically connecting environmental, planning, and configurational spheres, this study seeks to support the proactive management of landslide risk. The proposed three-step methodology allowed to quantify the environmental features involved in landslide occurrence, evaluate planning framework vulnerabilities, and suggest alternative configurations for urban areas that experienced landslides. The methodology has been applied to the case study involving a tragic landslide in Casamicciola Terme (Italy) in November 2022. First, the stream network and the drainage basin corresponding to confluence point of the landslide into the sea have been calculated (environmental elaborations). Subsequently, these elaborations have been overlapped with the runoff mitigation and the sediment deposition layers, extracted through the INVEST software. Secondly, the reconnaissance of the local and superordinate planning levels has been realized, to deepen planning tools cogency on the study area, contextually deepening the constraints that characterize it. From the overlapping of these two steps, free landslide risk areas have been located. Finally, based on the available territorial surface (Sta) and the territorial cover ratio (Rct), two territorial configuration scenarios have been proposed, envisaging the relocation of the buildings involved into the landslide. Results show that landslide originated by three out of five gullies. Some portions of the urban areas of Casamicciola Terme are still under high and very high hydrogeological risk. Contextually, it emerges poor attention from the local planners to the superordinate planning framework. Historic settlement has an Rct of 33.64 %, while areas in which relocate the built up show an Rct of 32,45 % for scenario 1 and 27,9 % for scenario 2. The methodology resulted useful to address planning vulnerabilities, supporting the realization of alternative configurational scenarios. We expect our research to contribute to the evolving field of disaster risk reduction, by providing a systematic approach to manage landslide risk
Approcci modellistici e computazionali a favore di una pianificazione dinamica e innovativa per la biodiversità urbana: evoluzione della ricerca
No full textL’integrazione delle nuove tecniche di analisi degli assetti ecosistemici all’interno degli strumenti di governo del territorio, riferibili alle innovazioni tecnologiche e al mondo dell’ITC, è una questione nodale per una nuova stagione urbanistica. Con sempre maggiore evidenza, sia nella produzione scientifica che nelle applicazioni di rigenerazione e riqualificazione urbana, le strategie di azione a favore della biodiversità, SE e NbS, non possono prescindere da un approccio modellistico computazionale
Tecniche per l’informatizzazione del patrimonio armentizio tratturale della regione Abruzzo
No full textIl presente lavoro di ricerca è parte di un accordo tra la Regione Abruzzo ed il
Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile-Architettura e Ambientale finalizzato
all’informatizzazione dell’importante patrimonio armentizio tratturale regionale.
L’obiettivo è duplice: da un lato si vuole fornire uno strumento alla regione
attraverso il quale disporre di un quadro aggiornato delle diverse concessioni
esistenti, mentre dall’altro si vuole analizzare lo stato dei luoghi e gli effetti delle
trasformazioni antropiche sui tracciati di queste antiche vi

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
De-sealing, recupero del suolo e (ri)attivazione dei Servizi Ecosistemici: il ruolo degli interventi di rigenerazione delle grandi aree dismesse nei territori urbani
No full textThe recovery of soil and its characteristics before soil sealing processes represents a complex issue still not adequately addressed in urban regeneration thinking and application. In a national context where the reform of knowledge and discipline in town planning has yet to find an agreement for its transposition into planning instruments, the experiences of reconversion of large areas often follow autonomous logic. In these cases, opportunity and occasionality are frequently the drivers that delineate the entire urban planning process. Starting from the transformation process that radically reconfigured the former Michelin area in Trento, a reflection is proposed on the actions for the redevelopment of city spaces and, in particular, on those interested in using soil de-sealing to favor the formation of new green areas and Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The paper, therefore, dwells on the description of the planning and implementation process proposed for the former Michelin, and how the use of NbS techniques has emerged as an opportunity to activate or restore certain Ecosystem Services. In addition, the paper proposes a reflection on how new ES assessment techniques can contribute, at various scales, to critically analyzing the results produced by urban regeneration interventions.
Il recupero del suolo e delle sue caratteristiche precedenti ai processi di impermeabilizzazione rappresenta un tema complesso che non ha ancora incontrato un’adeguata trattazione nella riflessione e applicazione in materia di rigenerazione urbana. In un contesto nazionale dove la riforma dei saperi e della disciplina in campo urbanistico deve ancora trovare un accordo per la sua traduzione negli strumenti di pianificazione, le esperienze di riconversione di ambiti di grande dimensione seguono spesso logiche autonome. In questi casi opportunità e occasionalità sono di frequente i driver che delineano l’intero percorso urbanistico. Partendo dal processo di trasformazione che ha riconfigurato radicalmente l’area dell’ex Michelin di Trento, si propone una riflessione sulle azioni per la riqualificazione degli spazi delle città e, in particolare, su quelle interessate ad utilizzare la de-impermeabilizzazione dei suoli per favorire la formazione di nuove aree verdi e Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Il lavoro si sofferma pertanto sulla restituzione del processo di pianificazione e attuazione proposto per l’ex Michelin e su come il ricorso a tecniche ascrivibili a NbS si sia configurato come l’occasione per attivare o ripristinare alcuni Servizi Ecosistemici. Inoltre, il lavoro propone uno spunto di riflessione su come le nuove tecniche di valutazione dei SE possano contribuire, a varie scale, ad analizzare criticamente i risultati prodotti dagli interventi di rigenerazione urbana
