Ecosystems Model Analysis for the EU Tourism Industry in Key EU Countries
The covid-19 pandemic has inflicted a notably harsher economic toll on tourism activities within EU countries compared to other sectors. However, accurately assessing these impacts has proven challenging due to the intricate web of cross-sectoral relationships in tourism economies across the industrial system. Drawing from the industrial ecosystem model recently integrated into the European Union’s industrial strategy, this paper aims to outline a novel configuration of the European tourism industry. The connections between the tourism ecosystem and other industrial ecosystems in four eu nations are delineated by analysing sectoral interdependencies. The findings highlight the diverse, productive links between industrial ecosystems and the tourism sector and the potential ramifications of a tourism market crisis on these industrial ecosystems
L’industria dei viaggi e del turismo in Italia: aspetti definitori, dinamiche intersettoriali ed effetti della crisi
The travel and tourism industry has an increasingly central role in countries’ economies due to its ability to contribute significantly to the production of various economic sectors. Despite this growing importance, the literature’s attention to analysing the productive articulations that characterise appears very limited to date. This article presents an overview of the primary lit- erature on the travel and tourism industry and then conducts a quantitative analysis through the Satellite Accounting of Tourism in Italy. Tourism consumption and production in the years 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 are compared, and then the effect of the pandemic is analysed by compar- ing the data in 2020. Finally, some policy indications are suggested for strengthening and ex- panding the production connected to international and internal demand

Riflessioni comparative sulla formazione dottorale italo-francese
L'intervento articola una serie di analisi delle esperienze di cooperazione italo-francese in campo dottorale, cercando di indicare le aree problematiche più importanti, sulla scorta dell'esperienza maturata nella cooperazione dottorale tra le università di Trieste e di Paris
Island Development Model Specialisation: A Panel Data Analysis Comparing Evolutionary Tourism Model, Industrial to Community-Based (2010–2019)
Islands are frequently characterised by an economic structure centred on tourism and the service sector. This specialisation has taken different forms and characterisations concerning the chosen or spontaneously developed model. To understand the development choices and patterns, this article analyses sixteen islands and archipelagos in the European Union over ten years from 2010 to 2019. A panel data analysis was based on critical variables identifying the tourism industry model from those that could represent a proxy of the community-based tourism model. The principal component analysis was adopted to compare the evolutionary trends of these two different ways of choosing the island’s tourism model. Findings identified before the COVID-19 pandemic crisis include two island clusters. One group of islands followed a spontaneous tourism model based on the local community and small or micro hospitality systems, with auto-entrepreneurship in tourism. The second group of islands followed a planning and industry-based tourist model with an employment system and a relevant hospitality industry. Both paradigms have limitations and identify two different tourism evolutionary scenarios useful for the EU’s future island tourism policies
Islands’ Tourism Seasonality: A Data Analysis of Mediterranean Islands’ Tourism Comparing Seasonality Indicators (2008–2018)
Tourism seasonality as a tourist demand concentration in specific seasons is still challenging for Mediterranean islands’ tourism policies. Overtourism occurs during high tourist seasons, and under-tourism occurs during low tourist seasons, creating undesirable economic, social, and environmental effects on sustainability. However, the imbalance of tourism demand, specifically in fragile territories such as islands, needs specific policies based on scientific evidence. This article examines tourism seasonality dynamics in the Mediterranean islands, thoroughly analysing tourist overnights on island destinations. The adopted methodology uses a set of statistical indicators, such as peak factor intensity, calculated in a time series analysis from 2008 to 2018. The results of this article allow us to understand the importance of the Mediterranean islands to planning a resilient, sustainable, and harmonious tourism policy, using strategies to contain seasonal peaks and create new tourist demand in the low season months
Trasformazioni e persistenze nel Golfo di Policastro
La ricerca su trasformazioni e persistenze nel golfo di Policastro ha inteso indagare i processi innescati in un'area meridionale, quella del Golfo di Policastro - tradizionalmente dedita all'agricoltura, alla pesca e al piccolo artigianato - da un'esperienza di fabbrica, dagli anni '50 fino a lambire gli anni '80.
La presenza delle industrie tessili di Stefano Rivetti, che dal Nord opera al Sud, in controtendenza rispetto agli schemi nazionali, ha creato infatti una moderna realtà industriale in un territorio mai precedentemente coinvolto dai problemi della moderna industria.
Contemporaneamente si è venuta realizzando, sempre attraverso la gestione di Rivetti, una trasformazione dei destini turistici della zona, che si è aperta ad un turismo d'élite; trasformazione, questa, che in modi diversi dalle fabbriche, ma altrettanto direttamente, ha coinvolto l'assetto complessivo del territorio.
L'ingresso nella modernità, segnato dalle diverse attività dell'imprenditore settentrionale in quest'area del Mezzogiorno,ha ridisegnato le dinamiche di lavoro e il paesaggio, come anche le relazioni di potere nei comuni e nei centri; sono stati inoltre ridefiniti i rapporti familiari, le dinamiche sociali, le relazioni fra i sessi, le stesse rappresentazioni collettive.
La ricerca ha studiato appunto questa trasformazione complessa seguendo diversi percorsi di studio: la realtà di fabbrica, le trasformazioni del paesaggio, le trasformazioni sociali e della politica, fino alle trasformazioni del corpo, significativo indicatore di una realtà in mutamento, utilizzando le competenze diverse di differenti studiosi.
E'stata inoltre affiancata all'analisi di questi processi di trasformazione la proposta di specifici strumenti, le banche dati, per la possibilità di ulteriori ricerche e la restituzione al territorio di memoria progettualità, saperi
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
