Resilience Practices Observatory project: synergies for stabilization and upscaling
No full textThis chapter outlines the fundamental considerations that emerged after 5 years of the Resilience Practices Observatory (RPO) project. The RPO engaged more than 100 different community-led practices acting to improve local resilience capacities and about 30 applied research and institutional-led initiatives. The success in engaging the practices in the RPO activities demonstrated the urgency and need for a shared space of networking, dialog, and learning among resilience practices. RPO provided a shared space and framework to resilience practices supporting the visibility and the exchange sharing experiences and learning, a structured place to rethink their experience, and a space to understand the role not locally but as process and contribution. This chapter introduces principal barriers in resilience practices implementation and discusses the four emerging core aspects enabling the practices stabilization and upscaling, improving the contribution to large-scale transition toward sustainable and resilient territorial systems. The capacity improvement, the knowledge and awareness dissemination and integration, the networking and multilevel innovative governance models, and economic aspects are discussed, presenting both the emerging characteristics from the RPO practices analyzed and providing perspectives for practices contribution and benefits fostering. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Resilience practices observatory project: emerging phenomena and lessons earned
No full textThe chapter presents the Resilience Practices Observatory (RPO) project emphasizing the research approach’s dynamic process.
Section 5.1 introduces the RPO project, the aims, and the trajectories of activities developed in four years of activity. Section 5.2 focuses on the aspects of coproduction developed with specific attention to the Resilience Practices Forums as tools to promote the role of community-led practices in the transition process of territorial sustainability and the hybridization and contamination among different action domains of resilience practices and different spheres of knowledge and action (academic and research, associations and actions, institution and public, private sectors’ initiatives).
Section 5.3 presents an overview of the practices engaged in the RPO project introducing the databases developed and describing the geographies, the governance models and processes, the urgencies/lever and issues of action, and the tools domains characterizing the about 150 resilience practices engaged in the RPO project

Raising external logistics industry in Europe: a systemic vision of the economic approach
No full textThis paper proposes a new systemic approach to the analysis of the External Logistics Industry (or Third Party Logistics) as well as a discussion on the interactions between logistics activities and the territory. The recent evolution of this economic field represents an obvious consequence of the widespread reorganisation of the manufacturing industry and his changing demand in term of supply chain management. The new analytic model developed allows to aggregate all different logistic services providers into four categories, on the basis of some common features. It permits to compact the definition of the different types of providers and, through this, to define the shape of the new industry. According to the proposed new dynamic approach to the logisic sector, also the interactions system between the economic actors and the territorial elements and functions is likely to change. The evolution of the logistics firms, regarding roles, objectives, organisation models and strategies, implies an evolution in the use of land, infrastructures and collective environmental and territorial resources. Such a framework allows some interesting considerations along two main dimensions: the first concerns with the rules that should guide economic and public actors action on territory (which means also the need to identify the instruments to reduce the negative environmental externalities); the second ones estimate the territorial impacts regarding the infrastructures for the mobility and the linked land services.

[ECO]systems of Resilience Practices: Contributions for Sustainability and Climate Change Adaptation
No full textEcosystems of Resilience Practices: Contributions for Sustainability and Climate Change Adaptation focuses on resilience in action by exploring and providing approaches, perspectives, toolboxes, and theoretical discourses for the improvement and enhancement of territorial and community resilience practices towards sustainability and climate change mitigation/adaptation. The book develops a set of tools and design criteria to support the dissemination of resilience practices. This new toolset will support the expansion and reinforcement of resilience practices and the building of solutions related to climate change. The book is divided into three sections: Section one investigates the contribution this kind of resilience approach could have on sustainable development goals as related to climate change. It also includes other environmental challenges such as ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. Chapters dedicated to exploring the issues for a renovated governance of territorial transformation processes are included. Section two focuses on the eco-systems of resilience practices characterization, including discourses on international networking of transitions initiatives. Section three presents operative guidelines, instruments, and proposals for the resilience practices "stabilization," "blooming," and "up scaling," aiming at a more effective and consistent contribution of resilience practices in reaching sustainability, adaptation goals, and scenarios at local and global scales. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Is relocation a good answer to prevent risk? Criteria to help decision makers choose candidates for relocation in areas exposed to high hydrogeological hazards
No full textThe paper illustrates the results of a research mandated by the regional government of Lombardia, Italy, to identify criteria to decide in what situations relocation from areas subject to high levels of hydrogeological hazards is a viable preventive strategy.
Until now most of the laws to prevent risks have imposed limitations to building and development in hazardous areas, while very rarely they have focused on already existing settlements. This time, the Region is thinking of a law to promote preventive relocation in the most critical situations, where structural measures have failed a number of times and losses are frequent and large.
Four set of criteria have been proposed, shaped according to different geographical scales and to different demands, recognizing that relocation is a rather extreme solution, that must be carefully evaluated and proposed to interested parts and citizens.
Those criteria have been applied to assess some specific cases in the Lombardia Region and to identify potential candidates for relocation in the whole Region, by querying a complex database that was prepared integrating layers representing hydrogeological hazards on one side and exposed settlements on the other
