Full text linkRural Tourism and Walkability. Compare Sardinia and Gran Canaria Models
No full textThe tourism crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic has caused many
communities to rethink and review tourism. In fact, in European countries, many
destinations are now focused on more inclusive and sustainable measures rather
than over tourism, so they have invested in sustainability to create tourist-friendly
places. The rural areas, in particular, are affected by a demand motivated by a
longing for discovery and authenticity, and they seem to be working towards
a multi-scalar planning: walkability and digitalization stand out as fundamental
choices to meet the needs of tourists and residents. In this context, the paper aims,
after a preliminary review of the literature on rural areas’ walkability, to highlight
the relationship between rural walkability and tourism through the analysis and
comparison of two rural paths: the Mining Path of Santa Barbara (Sardinia, Italy)
and the Path of Saint James (Gran Canaria, Spain). It represents virtuous examples of fruition and enhancement of the insular landscape, promoting a place-based approach for a sustainable and cohesive local development
Recycled aggregates in constructions. A case of circular economy in Sardinia (Italy)
No full textThe paper is the result of an ongoing research, considering the use of raw and recycled materials in the construction sector. In particular, the idea is considering such use within a Circular Economy framework, analysing its potentials in the case of the closed market of Sardinia Island (Italy), identifying potential clusters and their ‘optimal’ shape. In the paper, we highlight a theoretical framework for circular economy, adapting a classical model of industrial location to the construction sector. We build a georeferenced database of activities related to the extraction, processing and disposal of materials related to construction, as a result of the MEISAR Project - https://meisar.org/en/. Such a result is presented in a tool named MEISAR_Map; we then propose a method, based on spatial analytical techniques, namely point pattern analysis, for delimiting spatial clusters. The closed market of Sardinia is analyzed and, in particular, the case study of the new football stadium in Cagliari, which involves the demolition of the existing stadium and the use of "secondary" raw materials for the construction of the new Cagliari stadium
Ex Post Evaluation of Cohesion Policies in the Strategic Planning of Italian Metropolitan Cities: Analysis for the Development of New Strategies
No full textThe Italian political-administrative geography defined by Law 52/2014,which established metropolitan cities as a new governance body, requires the adoption of new approaches in economic planning and in the definition of spending
objectives with reference to European and national funding. The EU funding programme 2014–2020 is coming to an end. Therefore, this makes it possible to develop a first analysis of the expenditure relating to cohesion policy themes at
regional, provincial/metropolitan and municipal level, to assess performance in view of the new period of European Union (EU) funding programme. In fact, the European institutions are currently in the process of drafting the new Cohesion Policy 2021–2027, which will have to face and resolve difficulties encountered in the previous phase, through three key rules: simplicity, flexibility and efficiency. The ambition is to make the EU Countries intelligent, sustainable and increasingly inclusive economies. Three priorities that mutually reinforce each other to achieve high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion in Member States. The aim is to analyze the expenditure related to cohesion policy (Environment and Research and Innovation sectors) in the last two period of EU funding programme
in order to drive the new strategic decisions for the future period (2021–2027)
Strategic Circular Economy in Construction: Case Study in Sardinia, Italy
No full textThe paper tackles a topic related to the use of prime material and recycled materials in construction, in the framework of the circular economy, where recycled aggregates can be considered, in part or even totally, as second prime materials for the construction sector.
In particular, the authors describe the main phases of the MEISAR project, developing a circular cluster territorial model so that the quantity of recyclable materials can be estimated and geolocalized in the most appropriate processing plant, as well as assessing the potential market. In the study we combine spatial planning problems and industrial location factors onatural and recycled aggregates and concrete production plants through the geospatial representation of the MEISAR map. The closed market of Sardinia is analyzed and, in particular, the case study of the new soccer stadium in Cagliari, which involves the demolition of the existing stadium that will represent a source of “secondary” raw materials for the construction of the new stadium designed by the consortium Sportiu
Riqualificazione della cava “Rocce Rosse” lungo la costa di Arbatax (prov. Nuoro). Da spazio perso a piazza sul mare
No full textSmart and Slow Tourism. Evaluation and Challenges in Sardinia (Italy)
No full textSlow tourism is a sustainable way of traveling: it is not based on the consumption of resources and at the same time is linked to the discovery of local places and traditions. Furthermore, it favors a harmonious and responsible development of the territory in contrast with over tourism. Within this scenario and in the wake of a tradition rooted in Europe, the paths have become one of the most successful declinations of slow tourism. In this sense, the paths are increasingly becoming an integral part of the portfolio of tourism products in Sardinia, together with other types of tourism related to boating, culture, archeology, villages, cycling, food and wine, nature. The aim of this work is to investigate the role of slow tourism in Sardinia, with particular reference to the qualitative/quantitative evaluation of the model of the path of Santa Barbara Sulcis-Iglesiente and its exportability in other local contexts to enhance landscapes through the ancient tangible and intangible of mine habitats. Furthermore, the authors analyze the main potentially replicable elements of the path of Santa Barbara also in order to define best practices for the planning of slow tourism associated with smart tourism
Urban and Territorial Accessibility. A New Role for the Marinas
No full textAccessibility is considered a driving factor of territorial development, as well as a key performance indicator of cohesion policies. The accessibility indicators, in particular, describe how well the transport systems connect the different part of territory and provide interaction opportunities. The currently available indicators range from location accessibility to network efficiency, potential accessibility and daily accessibility. However, in this framework a player is not yet considered: the marinas. Until now the marinas are considered just as part of the infrastructure necessary to nautical tourism development and from this viewpoint their role is to provide safe points to access to the water and electricity and providing secure locations to store boats. Nevertheless, the sector of marinas is very dynamic. It contributes decisively to the development of local economies in particular of Mediterranean countries and Northern Europe cities. Many marinas provide additional nautical and ancillary leisure activities and can be visitor attractions in their own right. They also create demand for boating and other tourism products and services and facilitate linkages between nautical and coastal tourism. They have the potential to act as economic hubs for regional development and can catalyze the development of coastal tourism in specific locations. In this perspective, the role of marinas could be reconsidered, transforming them in gateway able to push in sustainable way urban and regional economy moving the touristic flows from the coastal to the internal areas
