The Museum of Children. The "Real Casa dell'Annunziata" in Naples: Between Reality and Future Prospects
No full textThe “Real Casa Santa dell'Annunziata”, a monumental complex associated with the historical hospital of the same name, is located in the historic centre of Naples, in the heart of the Forcella district, one of the most degraded and problematic. It is one of the oldest Italian institutions dedicated to childcare, now part of a substantial and little-known cultural heritage. The specific objective of the chapter is to propose museal strategies for the management and recovery of the memory of this extraordinarily fascinating place. In it, childhood, parenthood, intangible and tangible heritage, solidarity and care. Hence the idea of enhancing the immense cultural, artistic and archival heritage, promoting its strategic role as a cultural interdisciplinary perspective, promoting its strategic role as an urban hinge, to provide a plural understanding of it and place it in a future planning of the city
Smart Innovation Stimuli: Firms' Contributions in Resilient Cities
No full textThis paper deals with cities' transformation from the perspectives of smartness, sustainability, and resilience, to stress the contribution of private firms. Indeed, technology providers globally have been observed as being partners of local authorities, mainly with reference to service platforms. To accomplish this aim, we reviewed the literature, considering the most relevant contributions on the themes, to establish an analytical framework; further on, we discussed 15 illustrative case studies from a wider list of firms involved in smart, sustainable, and
resilient initiatives. The paper offers an analytical framework to merge, consisting of the five key features of smart, sustainable, and resilient cities, and leads to opportunities to further investigate the contribution of firms to cities' transformation in a new way that embeds multiple perspectives
Digital Platforms for the Sustainability of Cultural Heritage
No full textThis work aims at contributing to research on cultural heritage sustainability, investigating the practices, the interactions, and the processes enhanced by digital platforms. In doing so, digital platforms ability in shaping a sustainable ecosystem has been highlighted, describing the interactions occurring between different actors to create shared value, inspired by the principles of sustainable development. The work has been intended to better understand the role innovative digital technologies and in particular digital platforms play in boosting a sustainable and circular approach to cultural heritage management. To this end, a transdisciplinary platform aimed at testing, implementing, and sharing new sustainable models of financing, business, and governance to be applied to the cultural heritage sector has been described and analyzed
New technologies as a lever for the scalability of Italian Tourism startups
Full text linkThe most popular areas of research in the domain of start-ups are those that focus on what makes them successful. The related literature and the information data- bases that offer on the expansion of creative companies in Italy make clear the signifi- cance of scaling objectives in the start-up ecosystem. There is a strong relationship between the principle and the goal of scalability and the use of technologies. This chap- ter adopts a qualitative approach with multiple case studies that help show a cross sec- tion of the state of the art in scale-up companies in Italy. Finally, through this proposal to look at the literature and at practical cases, some implications of practical nature are proposed by the authors, stimulating further research
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
