ABUSIVENESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
No full textIn Italy abusiveness story is well known. It started with the rebuilding after the war. A destroyed and poor nation where the so called “needful abusiveness” dominated, it was often linked to the so called economical buildings, with the urgency to build the roof as to practically avoids demolition risk. And with the interest to escape also from the growing tax imposition on houses. We add to all this the contemporary phenomenon of urbanization that voided countries and asked for more living spaces in town, with the consequent building boom. Anyway, from the building by those who were directly interested, we passed very soon to real building speculation phenomena, sometimes possible thanks to the pleasance or to the guilty omission of controls by authorities working for prevention and illegality repression
PROPOSTA DI RIGENERAZIONE E GESTIONE DEGLI SPAZI PUBBLICI NELLA CITTÀ DI KOS, GRECIA
No full textThe theme falls within the proposals of strategies, tools and forms of housing and urban
regeneration and tackles the case of the city of Kos. There currently the recovery and the
enhancement of public space in the city is being attempted, and specifically of those urban areas
which have long suffered very strong exploitation pressure by private interests as a result of
tourism
Urban Coastal Landscape. The fragile buffer areas of Bacoli, Palermo and Termoli to switch the decay into Development
No full textThe urban coastal landscape is now at the center of new attention, as a
result of cultural, social, economic, and real estate evolution. A new approach is
actually clearly expressed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR)
missions, which identify as priorities those actions for mitigating hydrogeological
risks, safeguardinggreenareasandbiodiversity,ensuringthehealthofcitizens,and
attracting investments. Starting from the interference between anthropic pressure
and the need to preserve the biotic and abiotic environment, this work is aimed
at highlighting the impact of the built environment on natural ecosystems in the
urban coastal landscape. This study will be conducted on three sample areas in
southern Italy, representative of Mediterranean biodiversity. Referring to these
cases, a study will be carried out, considering both factors of anthropic pressure
and those relating to ecosystems and their degree of naturality
Le origini del progetto partecipato
No full textIl tema della partecipazione nell’ambito della cultura della progettazione alle diverse scale è un tema ricorrente e in questi ultimi anni sta assumendo un interesse via via crescente. Il problema di interrelare la fase progettuale - cioè le decisioni alle istanze della domanda sociale a livello urbano, di servizi e strutture per il soddisfacimento dei bisogni individuali e collettivi - con l’espressione dei desideri e delle propensioni dell’utenza, e più in generale dei fruitori di tali beni, è da lungo tempo al centro del dibattito e delle iniziative pubbliche per la programmazione e la pianificazione degli interventi.
Lo scenario che oggi prospetta l’esigenza di approfondire le conoscenze come consapevolezza delle scelte, indica anche il passaggio ineludibile verso una cultura del progetto partecipato, nell’ottica di un “Decentramento progettuale come garanzia contro la burocratizzazione tecnologica imposta alle periferie da una centralizzazione del vertice decisionale [...] per garantire a livello ambientale del recupero della trattazione morfologica del manufatto nel concetto di assunzione della forma come espressione di intervento sul paesaggio naturale o nella struttura urbana e territoriale; interpretando il senso storico della preesistenza e l’equilibrato rapporto tra questa e l’immagine dell’attualità” (Marco Zanuso, 1980)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
