Grassroots initiatives for sustainability transitions: Community-wide impacts and economic functioning
No full textCommunity-based initiatives (CBIs) are increasingly being advanced as promoters of a systemic transition towards increased sustainability, and as leading the degrowth transformation. Prior studies have typically dealt with the potential impacts of CBIs on individuals, without necessarily reflecting on their community-wide impacts.
This article aims to do both: it develops a set of indicators aimed at estimating the economic and financial impacts of a wide range of CBIs across six European countries, at both individual and community levels. The results provide insights into commonalities between CBIs, and suggest that they deliver essential services, often contribute to creating jobs within their communities, and thereby contribute positively towards community development
Identità territoriali del Centro Italia: la componente migratoria fenomeno decisivo nei caratteri sociodemografici e nelle tendenze in atto
No full textLa politica di coesione riformata. Un approccio territorializzato alla politica regionale europea.
No full textLe politiche territoriali dell’Unione Europea hanno subito nel corso degli anni numerose riforme. Si è passati da forme di intervento di tipo settoriale a politiche rivolte al territorio e alla dimensione locale dello sviluppo. L’originario approccio compensativo e settoriale è stato surclassato da una strategia di intervento di tipo place-based, sinergico, integrato e multisettoriale che mira oggi all’implementazione di strategie di sviluppo rispondenti ad obiettivi e bisogni locali. Il connubio tra integrazione e territorialità, l’attenzione rivolta ai bisogni e alle potenzialità locali ed endogene e alle strategie territoriali di sviluppo locale, rappresentano solo alcune delle caratteristiche della nuova politica di coesione.The territorial policies of the European Union have undergone numerous reforms over the years. They have changed from sectoral policy assistance to policies directed at territorial and local development. The original compensatory and sectoral approach has been outclassed by a strategy of intervention, while increasingly adding place-based, synergistic, integrated, and multi-sectoral forms, which today aim at development strategies to meet local objectives and needs. Combining integration and territoriality, and the attention given to the needs and potential of local and endogenous spatial strategies and local development, are just some of the features of the new Cohesion Policy for Europe

Crisis and community: grass-roots initiatives as space of migrant integration in Rome
No full textRome boasts a long history of activism, civil society organisations, and Community-Based Initiatives (CBIs): from squatters’ occupations to urban gardens, the city’s self-managed spaces have become true centres of integration and urban culture. These initiatives occur throughout the city, from the suburban periphery to more gentrified central areas, and represent spaces largely free of the capitalistic mode of production, offering instead a robust response to issues such as the lack of affordable housing, the need for support and legal protection for asylum seekers, as well as psychological support and other services (for example language courses for immigrants, vocational courses, etc.). Many CBIs thus play a leading role in the processes of social inclusion, often as an adjunct to – or a substitute for – local government services. This paper will give insights into a research project about role of CBIs which are in the process of transitioning into sustainable economic models, taking into account the crucial themes of social inclusion and of equity. Having mapped the CBIs that operate in Rome, the research intends to focus on those civil society organisations that provide services to migrants. It investigates the mechanisms through which these organisations receive material (e.g. spaces) or financial support from relevant authorities, and how they engage in discussion, consultation, and negotiation with local authority on integration policies. A particular focus will be dedicated to the recent shift experienced by the Council of Rome in how it regulates public real estate (which often hosts CBIs which therefore increasingly risk eviction), which might reshape the entire geography of civil society organisations in Rome
L’innovazione nel turismo tra definizione e metodologie di misurazione: un dibattito ancora aperto
No full textDall’analisi della letteratura più recente non è possibile derivare una definizione condivisa a livello multidisciplinare di innovazione in ambito turistico e questo viene segnalato come il principale nodo critico sollevato tanto in ambito scientifico quanto dagli esperti del settore. Negli ultimi dieci anni si è assistito ad un decisivo aumento degli autori che concentrano la loro ricerca sull’innovazione applicata al settore dei servizi; comparto tuttavia profondamente variegato e che comprende settori produttivi molto eterogenei tra loro

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
