La dimensione spaziale della qualità dell’abitare. Un approccio critico tra geografie dell’esperienza e cartografie digitali
No full textLa ricerca indaga la dimensione spaziale nella qualità dell’abitare dal punto di vista geografico, adottando una metodologia modulare. La fase preliminare riguarda infatti l’approfondimento teorico sui temi del benessere, considerando lo spazio relativo e relazionale (Lévy, Lussault, 2003) e focalizzando il ruolo ricoperto dall’esperienza dell’abitante (Tuan, 1977) nella conoscenza dei luoghi.
Si analizzano quindi i parametri prodotti dagli enti internazionali, quali ONU, OCSE e Eurostat, per la creazione di ranking della felicità e del benessere: emerge l’assenza della dimensione spaziale.
Viene presentato il sistema digitale utilizzato per la fase di consultazione sollecitata degli abitanti: la Happy Places Map che esamina le caratteristiche della relazione felice tra abitanti e luoghi.
Si manifesta la necessità di concentrarsi sulla scala del quartiere, indagando gli aspetti quotidiani dell’esperienza di benessere o di disagio nei luoghi: si intraprende così una consultazione mirata di interlocutori privilegiati.
Infine, nella ultima fase dell’analisi, vengono elaborati i risultati ottenuti, proponendo un’integrazione dei parametri delineati dagli enti internazionali e uno schema per la rilevazione qualitativa semi-strutturata utile alla ricerca di terreno. La ricerca fornisce dunque degli elementi utili al fine di considerare anche gli aspetti spaziali nella misurazione degli indicatori di benessere e qualità della vita
Si può misurare il benessere? Riflessioni sulla dimensione spaziale del Better Life Index calcolato da OCSE
No full textIndices developed by international research organizations assume value in the adoption of new policies. This paper aims to present the role that these indices have taken on in order to investigate the methodology adopted and understand the role that the space between the indicators used takes on. Specifically, the Better Life Index that the OECD develops is examined, analyzing and mapping the indicators used. Some critical issues emerge, and in particular the absence of the spatial dimension among the parameters considered. The paper reflects on the relevance of this gap and highlights the importance of the relationship with space in assessing well-being
Le percezioni degli abitanti nella rappresentazione dei luoghi di un quartiere di Bergamo
Full text linkIl presente contributo intende presentare la metodologia di ricerca elaborata per indagare la qualità dell’abitare, concentrandosi sulla scala di quartiere di una città italiana di medie dimensioni, nello specifico la città di Bergamo. L’approccio metodologico utilizzato si basa sull’impiego della cartografia come sistema comunicativo complesso, permettendo una valutazione “a priori” di dati socio-territoriali che sono stati acquisiti da fonti come la cartografia storica e i dati statistici. Questa raccolta di informazioni è stata successivamente sottoposta a una metodologia di analisi “a posteriori”. Una volta individuato il quartiere per l’indagine, si è intrapresa una consultazione mirata delle “persone-risorsa”, abitanti del quartiere. L’obiettivo di questa fase è stato quello di mettere in evidenza le peculiarità dei luoghi, associati sia a sentimenti di affinità con essi (topofilia), che di avversione (topofobia). In altre parole, si è cercato di identificare le aree che contribuiscono in maniera positiva alla valorizzazione del quartiere e, viceversa, quelle che rappresentano criticità, in termini sociali e comunitari. Si è proposta una “narrazione” del senso sociale dei luoghi del quartiere mediante la cartografia, le parole degli abitanti e le fotografie scattate durante i sopralluoghi. Tale rappresentazione è strumento di valorizzazione del patrimonio materiale e immateriale del territorio e premessa per un processo di governance.This contribution intends to present the research methodology developed to investigate the quality of living, focusing on the neighborhood scale of a medium-sized Italian city, specifically the city of Bergamo. The methodological approach employed is based on the use of cartography as a complex communicative system, allowing an “a priori” evaluation of socio-territorial data that was acquired from sources such as historical cartography and statistical data. This collection of information was subsequently subjected to an “a posteriori” analysis methodology. Once the neighborhood selected for the survey had been identified, a targeted consultation of the neighborhood’s resident resource persons was undertaken. The aim of this phase was to highlight the peculiarities of places associated with feelings of affinity with places (topophilia) or aversion (topophobia). In other words, an attempt was made to identify the areas that contribute positively to the enhancement of the neighborhood and, conversely, those that are critical in social and community terms. A narrative of these places was proposed by the cartographic representation, the words of the inhabitants and photographs taken during the surveys in order to bring out the social sense of the neighborhood’s places. Mapping is a tool for enhancing the tangible and intangible heritage of the territory and a precondition for a process of governance
La dimensione spaziale della qualità dell’abitare: un approccio critico tra geografie dell’esperienza e cartografie digitali
Full text linkLa cartografia come operatore simbolico: il contagio del Covid-19 in Lombardia
Full text linkBy anchoring itself to cartographic semiosis, the contribution intends to highlight the importance that cartography acquires within the media communication system, with particular attention to its use in the current health emergency. Indeed, cartography is conceived as a symbolic operator capable of actively acting to create knowledge and provide operational requirements in the Coronavirus emergency. Thanks to cartographic semiosis, it is possible to investigates the construction and communication mechanisms relating to the representation of the territory and the implementation of a cybercartography. This kind of cartography, if it is correctly constructed from a semiotic point of view, is an effective tool, through which it is possible to restore the social complexity of the areas most affected by the pandemic. This contribution will be exemplified on the multi-scale mapping of Lombardy produced within the CST-DiathesisLab of the University of Bergamo
Nuovi luoghi, lavori e linguaggi della popolazione nella Bassa bergamasca
No full textTra rotonde, campi coltivati, capannoni, aziende agricole, tra camion in movimento e auto parcheggiate, si intravedono dei colori luminosi ed eccentrici, che richiedono attenzione. A Cortenuova, nel mezzo dell’area industriale, dietro al polo logistico di Md e a un passo da Amazon Bgy, una grande insegna in pvc sovrasta la porta di ingresso, la scritta annuncia: «Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Cortenuova (BG) Italy». Fuori è un capannone, all’interno è un tempio della comunità sikh. Un luogo e un segno visibile di una presenza comunitaria.
Qui, in questo territorio, nuovi volti non sono solo forza lavoro, ma sono luoghi e linguaggi, tracce visibili e segni che rendono visibile ciò che per anni è rimasto ai margini, tra il grigio del cemento e l’anonimato della produzione
Public-private dialogue in the cultural reuse of historical and architectural heritage: the example of the Carmine Monastery in Italy
No full textThe paper wants to present and analyze an example of the application of the Special Public Private Partnership (SPPP) as a specific instrument introduced by the Italian legislation to favor the reuse of immovable cultural heritage for cultural purposes, thanks to the definition of "alliances" between public bodies and private subjects.
The case study analyzed concerns the process of reuse for cultural purposes of the former Monastero del Carmine, a complex structure of particular historical and architectural value located in the historical center of the city of Bergamo (Italy).
Built starting from the second half of the 14th century, the former Monastery experienced a long phase of decay and abandonment from the 18th century until the second half of the 20th century when, with the transfer of ownership to the municipal administration, some structural and functional recovery works were started. In the gradual reuse of this important place for the city, the theater company of the Teatro tascabile di Bergamo - Accademia delle Forme Sceniche (TTB) played a significant role.
To achieve the objective of this paper and to better investigate the case study, in addition to the analysis of the technical-administrative documentation concerning the complex process of reuse of the building (in particular since the arrival of TTB), it was decided to conduct a series of semi-structured interviews with key informants. Specifically, various subjects were involved who, with different roles, interests and responsibilities, participated, directly or indirectly, in the reuse process of the Ex Monastery and, in particular, in the application of the Special Public Private Partnership. The interviewees were selected to ensure a certain diversity in their belonging to different professional categories (e.g. the promoters of the TTB process, the external collaborators who subsequently managed the development of the project and the redevelopment works of the building, the members of the association that provided consultancy for the application of the Special Public Private Partnership, the referents of the Municipality of Bergamo who were involved in the management of relations with the TTB and the private companies that financed, and continue to support, the project).
Each interview (lasting between 45 and 60 minutes), starting from a framework of questions previously sent to the subjects and grouped according to specific themes, was carefully transcribed and then analyzed. The analysis and interpretation, based on codes and categories derived from the adoption of an inductive approach, thus brought out themes of interest directly from the collected data.
The contribution intends to present and critically analyze the application of the SPPP in the reuse process of the former Monastero del Carmine, emphasizing:
The meanings given to the theme of culture in the context of the decisions taken and consequent of the interventions implemented;
The conditionings determined by the various actors directly or indirectly involved in the initiative (concerning role, purpose, professional background, etc.);
The importance, in this particular context, of phased planning and the activation of permanent and temporary projects;
How the SPPP can be adapted to the historical, architectural, and locational characteristics of the former Monastery;
The benefits and criticalities that emerged in all phases for applying an "conceptual" and general tool to a complex context.
In the analyses conducted, particular attention was paid to the complex's historical importance and architectural complexity to understand what role these played in the building's reuse for cultural purposes.
The contribution therefore aims to provide an example of public-private collaboration, highlighting both the potential and the most critical aspects, to promote reflection on new models of governance of the disused cultural heritage, in Italy, but not only
Public-private dialogue in the cultural reuse of historical and architectural heritage: the example of the Carmine Monastery in Italy
No full textThe paper analyses the restoration process of the former Monastero del Carmine, a complex structure of historical value located in the city of Bergamo (Italy). Built after the 14th century, the Monastery experienced a long period
of abandonment from the 18th century until the second half of the 20th century when the property was transferred to the Municipality. In the gradual recovery, the theatre company Teatro Tascabile di Bergamo (TTB) played a significant role. Important for the reuse process was the Special Public Private Partnership activated between the TTB and the Municipality, thanks to which a complex process of material and immaterial regeneration began. The paper presents a public heritage regeneration process highlighting the role of the actors involved and the technicaladministrative tool adopted
The Italian health care system and swab testing
No full textThe Covid-19 epidemic has highlighted the fact that complex societies such as the one in Italy are able to maintain their balance only as long as all primary social needs are adequately met. Current living practices, in particular, have exposed the weaknesses of specific sectors, such as mobility, public spaces, the health care system and the welfare system. The present study reflects on the fragility of the health care system caused by an excessive fragmentation of policies and inconsistent regional setups, which have had repercussions on the administration of swab tests. We examine two regions, namely Lombardy and Veneto, where such differences stand out. In Lombardy, testing was limited and sluggish, which left the epidemic spread largely unchecked and forced Covid-19 testing to be carried out exclusively on patients with symptoms in hospitals. In addition to overburdening hospitals, this resulted in very limited swab-testing of the population: only the elderly. Veneto, on the other hand, adopted different swab-testing procedures, carried out not only among hospital patients but also on asymptomatic and non-hospitalized persons. This depends on the different organization and setup of the regional health care system. It follows that even a national-scale comparison of regional data in the three epidemic phases, which suggests an overall lowering of the average age for infected persons with great regional variations, ought to be taken with caution, given the dissimilar regional implementation of swab-testing
