Towards self energy-management and sustainable citizens' engagement in local energy efficiency Agenda
No full textEU 2020 targets and global challenges concerning energy efficiency in public and private sectors generated a great number of local and sectorial approaches mainly oriented to investment promotion in energy technologies including buildings renovations. RES diffusion also generated impacts on rural and natural areas, but a comprehensive balance of recent trends still remarks only a partial success. The research hypothesis regards short-Term benefits that an inclusive approach in energy management could bring in connection with energy efficiency investments at municipal scale. In fact a lot of energy wastage is linked to ineffective usage model, even in renewed buildings too. If one includes community involvement process oriented to deliver sustainable energy behaviors, one can expect a general improvement of energy saving in public and private sector. In order to be included, citizens need information: The Real time ICT application for energy monitoring represents an advancement proposed in this research. The long term perspective fits with the attitude of informed citizen to deliver self-energy management practice in everyday life. The benefits of the proposed approach regard territorial policies in the framework of EU-2020 strategy, Covenant of Mayors and UN 2030-Agenda
Una sperimentazione di strumenti web-based per la partecipazione dei cittadini ai processi di rigenerazione urbana: l’infrastruttura ICT CAST e l’Urban Center Virtuale.
No full textNei processi di pianificazione fisica e programmazione economica sia alla scala urbana che alla scala territoriale il ruolo della partecipazione rappresenta un elemento centrale del processo di piano. La partecipazione è spesso associata a forme di organizzazione (che chiamiamo strutture della partecipazione) che ritrovano nell’Urban Center un modello che in letteratura appare eterogeneo per finalità, funzioni ed organizzazione. Il lavoro analizza i primi risultati del Progetto CAST (Cittadinanza Attiva per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile del Territorio) ed in particolare ai primi risultati ottenuti nelle applicazioni condotte nel Quartiere di Poggio tre Galli a Potenza dove la sperimentazione di un approccio partecipativo misto tradizionale/tecnologico ha permesso l’elaborazione di scenari di rigenerazione urbana caratterizzati da un approccio inclusivo “citizens centered”.
Il lavoro presenta un contributo operativo in termini di Smart Planning ovvero di approcci evolutivi 2.0 orientati ad una gestione urbana inclusiva e partecipata attraverso strumenti ICT. Una caratteristica singolare della piattaforma ICT sviluppata nell’ambito del progetto CAST è rappresentata dall’integrazione di strumenti per la gestione e l’analisi degli streaming dei principali social network con una SDI.
La dimensione dell’esperienza condotta, descritta sia in termini quantitativi che di disegno strategico di rigenerazione urbana a scala di parti di città, fa emergere da un lato una domanda di contributi bottom up che si attesta prevalentemente all’interno delle istituzioni e che invece non corrisponde a gruppi di interesse qualificati; dall’altro la necessità di sperimentare soluzioni efficaci al fine di bilanciare l’impegno a gestire e configurare sistemi informativi complessi rispetto alla qualità dei risultati che dipende da un insieme di fattori.
Le prospettive di ricerca guardano alla definizione di procedure ‘web-assisted’ per la partecipazione alle scelte di governo della città e del territorio che, a partire dagli strumenti ICT testati nell’ambito del progetto CAST, possano consolidare pratiche bottom-up come DSS
Training Decision-Makers: GEODESIGN Workshop Paving the Way for New Urban Agenda
No full textGEODESIGN represents an effective framework promoting collaborative planning and decision-making as an incremental process based on robust methodological guidance. In this application, GEODESIGN had been adopted as a tool for training decision makers in “facing planning challenges deriving from ITI Urban Agenda development” according to “sustainability” and “climate responsive principles”. The case study represents a joined activity realized by the Municipality of Potenza (member of the EU Climate Adaptation Partnership) and the LISUT Laboratory (Engineering School at UNIBAS). The results regard the comprehensive approach in terms of participation capacity of decision makers without any background in planning disciplines and unveiled the weaknesses of traditional approach mainly based on “building agreements” without any measurements of spatial evidences or scenarios comparisons
Resilience and Smartness of Coastal Regions. A Tool for Spatial Evaluation
No full textThe paper explores the potential of a method of analysis and evaluation
in which the system of values are compared with the conditions of risk and
degradation of landscape (due to environmental and man-made drivers) with the
result of building maps of vulnerability, fragility and resilience.
A set of italian coastal regions and landscapes constitutes the case study and
are interpreted as geographical spaces with high levels of sensitivity. The research
objective is to build a spatial decision support system based on indicators, in
which the relative parameters are measured to represent the resilient capacity of
the system, taking into account indicators relating to the integration of technological
system, system-law system, social system and economic system. The
global indicator system provides the basis upon which to assess how much a
territorial system is resilient and smart. The SDSS logical model allows to build
different scenarios and to evaluate the effectiveness of policies and spatial strategies
analyzed as intervention hypothesis
Welfare and territorial specialization: a position for the debate
No full textPutting citizens in the centre of the planning processes was remarked due to the economic crisis, the 'placebased' approach promoted by EU New Cohesion Policy, the inclusiveness of local development policies, the participation processes and the efforts in pursuing bottomup processes.
As the practices of the territorial government consider local communities as priorities the satisfaction of citizens’ basic needs appears to be a precondition for the growth of local territorial systems. We would be able to define a standards level of such basic need, peculiar in a balanced view of the marginal areas in Europe.
In such view we propose to discuss the issue of refining approaches to the evaluation and design of effective local systems based on sustainable levels in quality of life.
We prefer to discuss a concept of "territorial welfare" rather than "urban welfare", because we are interested in analysing the components that contribute to define an adequate living standards quality of life in "lowdensity" areas. We consider those areas where the supply of equipments and spaces for collective interest, essential public services (education, health, etc.), leisure and cultural opportunities should be considered under the assessment of people effective opportunity to use them. In low density areas such opportunity is mainly represented by measure of individual and collective accessibility to services that is in competition with economic sustainability and requires to search for an optimal compromise.
Faced with the renewed attention to the city as an economic engine, we propose the following research question: what is the ‘fuel’ of such city?. Starting from J. Jacobs (1986) we identify the city as the place where the surplus of agricultural production and than the industrial production generate the proliferation of service supply.
We remark our focus on rural areas, seen as components of a polycentric model in which local specializations often smoothly marked by traditional geography can play a driver role in the design of development strategies to be implemented within the framework of the New Cohesion Policy 2014 2020 instruments.
The debate aims to collect new perspectives for the research applying analytic tools, programs and projects in emblematic contexts in order to compare approaches and methodologies and to refine tools and analysis procedures driving the decision process. Conclusions and operative contributions regards improvement of programming practices for structural and strategic planning, intended as ‘exante conditionality’ for the implementation of New European Cohesion Policy
