La rigenerazione urbana tra norme e progettazione tecnologica: il caso della Puglia
No full textTutte le riflessioni e le sperimentazioni legate all’Urban Recycle sembrano attualmente confluire in quella che viene definita “rigenerazione urbana”, già ampiamente recepita dagli apparati legislativi e normativi, intesa come percorso d’integrazione tra azioni di natura urbanistica e azioni di tipo economico-sociale aventi come effetto la modificazione fisica del territorio. Ma l’idea di rigenerazione urbana, fortemente legata ai concetti di città, di centralità diffusa, di sostenibilità, di creatività, di cultura urbana, sembra richiedere ancora oggi continui monitoraggi e aggiornamenti sia in termini teorici che di approccio metodologico in ambito pratico, per scongiurare l’eventualità che diventi anch’essa uno “slogan” o un atteggiamento “à la mode” lontano dalle reali necessità della città. A partire da uno studio critico di natura epistemologica, di analisi del progetto e del rapporto normativa/teoria/prassi, il presente contributo prova ad analizzare e sintetizzare i caratteri d’innovatività e di sostenibilità delle attuali strategie e metodologie di rigenerazione urbana, in base ai loro effettivi esiti sul costruito e al loro impatto sul territorio e sul contesto culturale, facendo riferimento alla specifica esperienza normativa pugliese, una delle più all’avanguardia in Italia
Lo sviluppo socio-culturale del promontorio di Capo Colonna a Crotone nel quadro normativo regionale
No full textLa complessità delle caratteristiche e delle componenti ambientali delle aree a forte valenza storico-archeologica necessita oggi da un lato di chiare ed efficaci strategie normative e linee di indirizzo a livello regionale (macro azioni), ma anche di processi virtuosi che partano dai singoli contesti attraverso una rinnovata dinamicità degli attori locali (micro azioni). L'incontro e l'integrazione tra questi due sistemi di forze costituisce la potenzialità resiliente del contesto territoriale e la garanzia di una sua corretta salvaguarda socio-culturale.
Il presente contributo analizza il rapporto tra le strategie regionali di salvaguardia e valorizzazione paesaggistica in Calabria e la condizione resiliente di uno specifico contesto territoriale, il promontorio di Capo Colonna a Crotone.
In relazione a tale contesto, il presente contributo presenta un approccio metodologico che si basa sull'individuazione del promontorio di Capo Colonna (anticamente Stortingo, poi Lacinio e poi ancora Nao) quale caso studio emblematico cui analizzare le possibili strategie di rigenerazione ambientale a partire dagli indirizzi normativi a livello regionale e dagli elementi naturali e architettonici che lo compongono e lo caratterizzano identitariamente
Sarande: water, forma terrae and forma urbis
Full text linkPonència presentada a la sessió 9The southern Albanian territory gathers many orographic and territorial conditions and the relationship between water, landforms and urban forms.
The city of Saranda, the neighbor small settlements, the Vrina Plain, the hills, the mountains, the sea and the lagoon are realities that coexist in a single stretch of territory that develops along 23 km. This paper aims to illustrate the method of inperpretation of the relationship between different landscapes describing the forms of water, the landforms and the urban forms.
The analysis phase is followed by a planning part dedicated to the formal definition of the project. It intends to create a settlement pattern, which develops all along the main crest and measures the entire zone, through a path, linking the urban areas, the natural elements and the historical and architectural heritage
Sarande. Water, forma terrea e forma urbis
No full textThe southern Albanian territory gathers many orographic and territorial conditions as well as relationships between water, landforms and urban forms.
The city of Saranda, the neighbor small settlements, the Vrina Plan, the hills, the mountains, the sea and the lagoon are realities that coexist in a single stretch of territory developing along 23 km.
This condition draws a “territorial zone” between two mountain ranges, which are characterized by an outstanding landscape in which it is possible to identify different forms of urban settlement, due to the natural and topographical environment.
The relationship between water and land is very characteristic: starting from Saranda on the shores of the Ionic sea; Ksamil, situated in a stretch of land enclosed by the sea and the lagoon; Butrint bordering on the Vivari channel that divides the ancient city from the Vrina Plan.
The presence of an irrigation system is very important too: this network of channels, which
characterizes a great portion of this territory, was realized during the 60s.
Saranda, Ksamil, Butrint and the Vrina Plan, together with its hills are the areas where urban settlements took place from the ancient period.
Saranda is a town in which the installation has been made following the coast’s shape with parallel terraces and the natural climb of the hill, so its urban form could be compared to that of a theatre.
This kind of installation is made of stretched blocks, in line with the Italian urban plan conceived in 1940, which shows how the modern city connects with the original roman based on a cardo‐ decumanus structure still existing.
This area has a characteristic position: the waterfront not only defines a circumscribed space, but also overlooks the island of Corfu.
Going South along an ideal way that follows the coast, the ridges and the lagoon, takes place Ksamil. It is a residential area recently constructed, a so‐called informal common city, not planned, almost completely touristic and residential, without an own urban structure. Anyway, it is possible to recognize some urban forms by looking at the way the buildings take place, in order to respect the nature of the land, the hills, the landslide and the infrastructures. Butrinto is a little peninsula surrounded by the Vivari channel. It is an important archeological site whose remains testify the intense anthropic process that has occurred this area in the centuries.
In the roman period, Butrint was connected to the Vrina plan with a water work.
The Vrina plan is characterized by small urban settlements located on the top of each hill that emerges on the lowland where we can find both archeological remains and fields intended for agriculture and livestock.
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the method of interpretation of the relationship between different landscapes by describing the forms of water, the landforms and the urban forms.
This analysis phase is followed by a planning part dedicated to the formal definition of the project.
It intends to create a settlement pattern, which develops all along the main crest and measures the entire zone, through a path, linking the urban areas, the natural elements and the historical and architectural heritage
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
