Cultural heritage valorization: an application of AHP for the choice of the highest and best use
In the preliminary stages of urban investments, the Public Administration (PA) has often to deal with complex decisional problems characterized by many variables and conflicting objectives. In these phases, the evaluation is a useful tool that, through the application of multi-criteria analysis, can support the PA in the transformation of a problem characterized by high uncertainty in a logical-mathematical model to guide the decisions
Land Use, Economic Welfare and Property Values: An Analysis of the Interdependencies of the Real-Estate Market with Zonal and Socio-Economic Variables in the Municipalities of Apulia Region (Italy)
In the paper an analysis of functional correlations of property prices with the main locational and socio-economic variables, which generally contribute to define the market value of properties, has been developed. Locational characteristics are represented by the surfaces of soil used for the main fucntions, borrowing the logic of the system of CORINE Land Cover classification. The analysis has been contextualized to the 258 municipalities of the Apulia region (Southern Italy). The methodology constitutes a valuable reference for the definition of models aimed at supporting public planning decisions and private investment choices
GIS application and econometric analysis for the verification of the financial feasibility of roof-top wind turbines in the city of Bari (Italy)
In Italy, wind solutions for the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E) have been
widely adopted, especially in regions with good geo-climatic conditions. In the last years, the need to limit the
soil sealing has resulted in a great deal of attention being given to the implementation of RES-E energy policies
integrated with the existing urban properties.
In this paper, the authors have pursued two main objectives. The first is an analysis of the financial feasibility
resulting from the realization of roof-top wind turbines in the city of Bari (Southern Italy). This analysis was
carried out through the application of a GIS-based decision support model. The second aim deals with the
explanation of the mathematical relation between the aerodynamic parameters and the economic variables of
the investment. The expressions obtained, on the one hand, allow to enucleate the actual influence of the
aerodynamic parameters on the economic variables and to verify the empirical coherence of the outputs; while
on the other, they provide algorithms for the rapid assessment of the performance indicators of the investment.
The methodology developed identifies an easily repeatable operative and logical path, which can also be used in
other territorial contexts
Sustainable Urban Planning Models for New Smart Cities and Effective Management of Land Take Dynamics
The development and management models of land use—both natural and man-made—and infrastructures, in order to be considered sustainable, must guarantee the inhabitants of the area the satisfaction of their vital needs in a way that can also continue to be implemented in the future, without conflicting with the limited availability of natural resources on the planet [...
