Turismo, un futuro possibile
No full textDi viaggi e di turismo si discute moltissimo e da parecchio tempo, ma il dibattito fatica ad uscire da una situazione di impasse in cui si scontrano le posizioni antitetiche di chi vorrebbe lo sviluppo turistico ad ogni costo e di chi invece lo condanna in ogni suo aspetto. La tesi che qui si sostiene è che sia invece possibile pensare uno sviluppo turistico alternativo, a patto che si ragioni anche dell’organizzazione dei sistemi produttivi e soprattutto del tempo che siamo costretti a dedicare al lavoro nella nostra società
Il turismo di prossimità nel territorio bolognese al tempo del Covid-19
No full textTra i settori più colpiti dalla crisi pandemica vi è sicuramente quello turistico. Questo, oltre ad aver contribuito in maniera determinante all’origine ed alla diffusione della pandemia da Covid-19, vede oggi l'affermazione di nuove strade e nuove destinazioni. Più che tracciare percorsi completamente nuovi, la crisi pandemica sembra aver approfondito e accelerato delle dinamiche già in atto. In particolare due sono le tendenze più evidenti : da un lato hanno trovato più spazio le retoriche sul turismo sostenibile raccolte sotto il titolo-ombrello di “eco-turismo”, dall’altro si assiste ad un’accelerazione nel tentativo di colonizzazione turistica delle aree rurali e montane.
L'analisi dei dati statistici riferiti al contesto territoriale della provincia di Bologna proposta in questo capitolo sembra confermare l’ipotesi secondo cui si sarebbe realizzato, durante il periodo pandemico - a fronte di un calo degli arrivi nelle aree urbane - uno sviluppo turistico delle aree interne. In particolare, sono i comuni "intermedi", che si collocano ad una distanza ridotta dalla città, dai suoi principali servizi e dalle arterie stradali che la connettono al territorio circostante ad emergere come quelli più in crescita. Non solo: elementi preesistenti la pandemia, quali la presenza di un’offerta turistica qualificata, insieme all'azione politica di valorizzazione delle aree interne tramite forme di "ecoturismo", emergono come fattori cruciali per il parziale riorientamento dei flussi connesso all’evento pandemico
L'ecoturismo nelle aree interne come proposta anticrisi
No full textThe tourism industry has been growing since the end of WWII (as shown by UNWTO data), apart from some short stops during dramatic events such as the September 11, 2001 attack or the Sars Cov2 virus discovery. Tourism, however, has always shown a strong resilience in the medium and long run, after the first moments of flows disruption. Nowadays, the planet is facing many intertwined crises, as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Sars Cov2 pandemic and the ongoing ecological crisis. Therefore, a reflection is due on which touristic models have to be implemented and which has to be stopped, so as to reduce economic costs and natural resources consumption. We suggest that ecotourism routes, already existing in many regions of the world but still undervalued by mainstream tourism promotional circuits, can be regarded as a possible answer to this need. Our case study is the inner area of Bologna Province, in particular the municipalities grouped into the Unione dei Comuni dell’Appennino Bolognese. Through some interviews conducted in 2022, we will show how,after decades of shrinking tourist demand in those territories, some opportunities can be rediscovered to promote new development policies based on proximity tourism, affordable and sustainable. At the same time, we will show the limits linked to the lack of structural and infrastructural supply. Those policies aimed at promoting a tourism for everyone and environmental friendly would benefit also territories in the inner areas after decades of depopulation
Cosa consuma il centro storico di Bologna? City of food, turistificazione e resistenze intorno al cibo.
No full textDopo la crisi del 2007/08, le città hanno assunto una rinnovata centralità per la valorizzazione capitalistica perché è al loro interno che si genera il capitale comunicativo, cognitivo e affettivo di cui si nutre il capitale globale. Tante città italiane provano a reinventarsi investendo sul turismo e Bologna è tra queste. La città tenta di competere specializzando la sua offerta turistica e ritagliandosi una fetta di mercato grazie al progetto di marketing territoriale inaugurato nel 2014 dal nome Bologna city of food. Nel presente contributo sono ricostruiti alcuni dei più significativi interventi di tipo promozionale ed urbanistico che il progetto ha determinato o influenzato, oltre che le ricadute che questo ha avuto sul piano sociale e politico oltre che economico
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
