Criteria for Establishing Priorities in Sidewalk Maintenance When Using Multi-Criteria Analysis in Order to Achieve Inclusive Mobility
No full textTo create an inclusive city, it is essential to have accessible pedestrian infrastructure. The accessibility of pedestrian infrastructure is ensured through the proper maintenance of sidewalks. When resources are limited, it is necessary to prioritize sidewalks by identifying those in the most critical condition, and this is often achieved through multi-criteria analyses. This paper proposed an analysis of the criteria to be considered, which include not only pavement distresses but also the importance of the sidewalk in connecting various parts of the city and ensuring accessibility to significant places for all, including vulnerable users. Methodologies for evaluating a sidewalk in relation to these criteria were proposed and an application of these methods to a simple case study in Genoa was presented. In this context, the evaluation of the criteria weights was performed using subjective and objective methods. The weights calculated with the two methods generated the same priorities. All the experts interviewed agreed with the proposed set of criteria and two experts suggested considering a new criterion relating to the level of danger of the context in which a pavement is located

Il buio oltre i partiti? Partecipazione dal basso e partecipazione istituzionale ai tempi della politica reticolare

In this article, on the basis of a critical assessment of the patterns of change affecting institutional political actors (mainly political parties) and bottom-up forms of participation in the Italian context, we analyze two major instruments implemented to fill the gap between institutional domain and bottom-up participation: primary elections and participative-deliberative processes. Both instruments produce ambiguous and ambivalent effects in terms of empowerment of citizens: they often appear to be more instruments of manipulation and symbolic legitimization than instrument of participation
Partito politico

Quale ruolo assumono nel passaggio da democrazia di massa a democrazia del pubblico
