Il turismo nella Città dei Sassi: un fenomeno recente.
No full textL’articolo mette in evidenza la recente crescita del fenomeno turistico e le ulteriori potenzialità espresse dalla città di Matera. Si pone attenzione, tuttavia, anche alle criticità che tale sviluppo possa comportare nei confronti di un ambiente fragile, quale è quello rappresentato dai Rioni dei Sassi. Ciò che appare necessario è che non si vada verso uno snaturamento dell’abitato, aumentando a dismisura l’incremento dei servizi destinati ai turisti (alberghi, B&B, ristoranti) a discapito delle civili abitazioni, che rendono unico tale ambiente, allontanandolo da un’immagine “presepiale”
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
L'era del compimento del "pensiero per linee globali". Convergenze e contraddizioni in chiave geografica
No full textTHE AGE OF COMPLETION OF" THINKING BY GLOBAL LINES". CONVERGENCIES AND CONTRADICTIONS FROM A GEOGRAPHICAL VIEW POINT.
In the global age, the world appears to be increasingly complex as a result of the interaction between multiple, contrasting forces of a different nature: economic, social and territorial. This interaction makes any firm interpretation of current social and cultural processes a hard task to achieve.
Many attempts to make sense of the complexity of our times often make use of the language and methodological tools typical of geographical studies. However, these are frequently considered to be descriptive in nature. This article discusses the potentials that geographical studies have to identify spatial differences and cultural patterns from a number of observational vantage points.
In order to exemplify our arguments, we make use of the topic of international migrations. Migrations are, typically, territorial phenomena which, however, can only be fully understood through the kind of transcalar reading which is typical of geographical studies
