The role of collaborative planning practices in building new institutional powers and achieving community empowerment
No full textIl lavoro esplora le condizioni attraverso cui alcune pratiche progettuali di tipo collaborativo possono trasformare la cultura locale generando apprendimento istituzionale e cambiamento sociale. Non si approfondiscono solo le disfunzioni del processo di partecipazione, ma anche e soprattutto le sue funzioni, cioè quelle conseguenze che tendono a favorire piuttosto che ostacolare la coesione nell’ambito di rapporti sociali. In questa analisi l’apprendimento è considerato come una “pratica sociale”: si realizza tramite la partecipazione, nella costruzione delle conoscenze, dei soggetti che apprendono. La vivacità dell’apprendimento è legata alla vivacità dei processi di natura sociale e deriva dal “coinvolgimento in pratiche” (come la partecipazione), che contribuiscono allo “sviluppo della comunità” e al miglioramento dei processi istituzionali.
Per tale motivo, all’interno di questo lavoro, ci si concentra più che sugli strumenti o sui mezzi della partecipazione, sugli effetti “sottoprodotto” che il processo di partecipazione può generare, a livello istituzionale, in termini di apprendimento e, nelle comunità, in termini di coscienza della capacità di influenzare i cambiamenti indipendentemente dalla specificità dei risultati ottenuti.The work discuss about the territorial planning
methods useful to assure an integrated coastal management. It
proposes an integrated method based on a sensitivity analysis
of environmental and landscape values, with an hydraulic
model of coastal behavior. The method is illustrated in the
case of the Apulia Regional Coastal Plan. The Apulia Region
is one of the most long coast in Italy, so the coastal
management is a relevant need for inhabitants, with many
different interests to take in to account simultaneously. The
paper is introduced by a presentation of the coast and its
problems, illustrating in the second chapter the major coastal
policies at national and regional level. In the following five
chapters the method proposed is illustrated in the case of the
Apulia Regional Coastal Plan, showing tools to pursue an
integrated coastal management, while in the last chapter some
conclusions are made

Il ruolo della pedonalità e del TPL nei centri storici. Il progetto del waterfront del centro storico di Bari
No full textIl contributo raccoglie le riflessioni sugli aspetti conflittuali innescati dal processo di pedonalizzazione del waterfront della città storica nella città di Bari.The paper explores the role of pedestrians in inter-modality of local public transport (LPT) in the
historic centers, whose morphological, sociological, economic characteristics, in one word, the
environment, are such as to require a dedicated approach and specific attention to the accessibility
to the LPT historically denied or complicated by geography or structural impediments. Enhancing
the role of the TPL in the consolidated urban tissues necessarily mean revising the urban transport
system as a whole to prevent that pedestrians in historic city centers (built for pedestrians) means
again isolation, poor access, lack of integration with the other districts of the modern city that often
have completely replaced the roles and functions of the ancient city.
General considerations on the role of pedestrians in intermodality of the LPT in town centers, are
made from the experiences on the contribution of pedestrians in the modal chain of displacements
in the city of Bari, where the historic center is a peninsula bordered by an important driveway (the
promenade) that simultaneously performs district, urban and suburban functions, with obvious
conflicts and overlapping traffic streams with different requirements.
So, the waterfront has been the subject of an urban project that, starting with the aim of solving
problems of limited use in some periods of the year (the summer months in which the seafront
becomes a real road - square always crowded) has proposed the walkability as a key for a new
model of urban accessibility and use of the historic center .Therefore, the paper after an introduction on the relationship between walkability and LPT in the
historic centers, the analysis of problems and opportunities of this ratio as a function of the
characteristics of the urban context, re-read the case study and highlights the innovative and general
aspects examples for the methodology to be used to make contemporary the pedestrian traffic in the
modal chain shifts, with particular attention to the role it plays in accessibility to LPT in historical
centers

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
