Considering the Social Sustainability of Sardinia’s Rural Landscape: The Role of Local Identities
No full textThis paper originates from the presumption that in order to be sustainable, rural landscape must be the expression of cultural heritage and local identity. We consider the constraints and opportunities embedded in insularity per se, regarding Sardinia both as a whole territory and as a sum of diverse cultural zones. Local communities are not always able to fully express their individuality through landscapes. Our goal is to demonstrate how the community/landscape linkage should be structured by considering two theoretical approaches: that of Capabilities and Functionings by Sen (1985, 1986, 1993), and that coming from literature on Social Capital considering the institutional framework (North, 1994).
The first approach aims to demonstrate how the choice of activating specific sets of functionings, making an area unique, is influenced by local culture; the second one demonstrates how social capital is crucial in the construction and preservation of local identities. Subsequently we analyzed interrelations between the above-mentioned approaches, focusing on some topics suggested in literature (e.g. Migheli, 2011). This theoretical framework can be used as a support in defining specific policy guidelines
The National Park of La Maddalena: Estimates of the Econoic aspects of a Protected Area
No full textThis paper carries out a comparative evaluation of the various alternatives which make up the available or hypothetical different models for use of the National Park of La Maddalena. These form part of the various initiatives - listed in the work - proposed for tourist exploitation in a sustainable way. The evaluation applies the non-monetary multi-criteria analysis known as Regime analysis. The final grading alternatives is related to how well they meet the objectives which have been identified as the criteria for evaluation. The study offers helpful indications about priorities for practical initiatives to exploit the area collectively

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
