LA MOBILITÀ DELLE PERSONE
No full textLa sezione affronta la domanda di mobilità, con analisi originali sulle abitudini di mobilità delle persone che vivono in Italia, i cambiamenti occorsi negli anni interessati dalla pandemia e delinea alcune possibili traiettorie future, anche tenendo conto degli impatti del PNRR
Mobilità pedonale e valorizzazione territoriale delle città
No full textIn a phase like the present one, characterized by the frequent and widespread use of
private motorized means of transport vehicles, pedestrianization and walkability are
increasingly considered elements of quality and correct access and use of urban public
spaces. The possibility to access and walk in the city, as also the possibility to have
suitable areas for walkability, has become an objective of urban marketing policies
aimed at revitalizing and increasing the tourist attractiveness of places. Moving on
foot can represent a multisensory experience that allows urban subjects, citizens or
tourists, to feel part of the places they are walking through, savoring signs, imagines
and immaterial elements that make up the atmosphere of the city. Walking, as oppor tunity to experience places, although already known in the past (especially in the
higher social classes, p.e. flâneurs and elité tourism), is now affecting increasing
numbers of travellers, who seek narrative places starting from new and innovative
paths. Only a direct and slow experience can give them this emotional knowledge of
urban places. However, there are still a lot of limitations that hinder the practice of
walking. The difficult pedestrian access to tourist areas is just the first example. The
possibility of walking in the historical centres of many cities encounters limits of
impervious and inadequate paths (especially for the weakest travelers). In addition
there are problems referred to the presence of unsafe areas (or perceived as such) or
to the customs and regulatory systems (formal and informal) of different sociocultur al contexts that can play a facilitating role or inhibit the practice of walking and, through this way, the “right to the city”

“Laboratoires” innovateurs pour l’habitabilité des espaces montagneux: exemples vertueux dans l’Apennin émilien (Italie)
No full textL’Apennin émilien, comme de nombreux espaces de montagne, n’échappe pas à l’épineux problème démographique du vieillissement de la population d’une part et de la dépopulation d’autre part. En outre, malgré la con-fiance excessive de nombreuses personnes dans la puissance des « nou-velles » technologies et dans leurs capacités à rapprocher et à virtuali-ser, certaines réalités montrent très clairement que l’ère de la communi-cation numérique n’a pas annulé la prégnance du milieu et encore moins la distance euclidienne et son impact sur le fonctionnement des sociétés. Le départ contraint de la population jeune par absence de perspectives s’est accompagné par celui des plus âgés, désarmés face à la disparition pro-gressive des commerces et des services de proximité. La délicate situa-tion budgétaire de la plupart des administrations locales et régionales a en outre aggravé ces problèmes.
S’il reste essentiel que les politiques publiques et le troisième secteur s’occupent des zones marginales de montagne, il devient encore plus important que les citoyens jouent un rôle actif dans l’élaboration d’actions qui s’opposent au déclin de ces territoires. Ce déclin prend bien entendu différentes formes : de l’immédiate dégradation environne-mentale à la plus discrète mais non moins importante amnésie collective et institutionnelle.
En réaction à ces problèmes, plusieurs types de propositions mises en œuvre avec succès sont apparus ponctuellement ces dernières années dans l’Apennin émilien, dont ceux qui sont l’objet de ce texte
Capitale sociale e istituzioni: un'alleanza per la qualità della vita nelle aree montane
No full textStudi recenti, rivolgendo particolare attenzione ai fattori immateriali e relazionali, al fine di interpretare le dinamiche dello sviluppo, hanno evidenziato che la marginalità di alcuni territori, tra cui quelli montani, non è determinata unicamente da condizioni economiche sfavorevoli o da risorse mancanti, ma anche da un missing link rappresentato dalla scarsa valorizzazione, da parte delle istituzioni, delle opportunità economiche che il capitale sociale è in grado di veicolare. Fra i soggetti che rivestono un ruolo propulsivo nella mobilitazione di risorse e nell’attivazione di meccanismi virtuosi di sviluppo, un’importanza di primo piano spetta alle Unioni di Comuni, le quali hanno il compito di definire ed attuare strategie volte ad accrescere la competitività delle zone montane attraverso una visione condivisa delle traiettorie di sviluppo, al fine di favorire il rafforzamento del capitale sociale e dell’identità collettiva (Biggiero, 2002).
Sulla base di quanto appena esposto, il presente contributo intende sostenere che, laddove le Unioni di Comuni favorissero la promozione del capitale sociale anche attraverso la diffusione di forme di turismo come quello di comunità, si determinerebbe un fertile incontro tra politiche top down e reti sociali bottom up in grado di innescare processi virtuosi di promozione del territorio montano orientati «dal desiderio di ciascuno di migliorare il proprio ambiente di vita, tramite un impegno collettivo» (Bodini et al., 2016, p.8)
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
