Il ruolo delle aree protette per la resilienza del territorio: le aree interne dell’Appennino centrale
No full textProtected areas cover a significant extent of the inland areas in the Apennine Mountains of Central Italy. They provide important ecosystem services that are crucial to increase the resilience of the whole macro-region. In particular, the so-called regulating services can counteract natural hazards, lowering the risk of disasters and enhancing therefore the level of security and the quality of life of local communities. In this respect, the highest performances are given by multi-species forest ecosystems with a complex structure, namely, by high and multi-plane old forests. These are slowly but increasingly growing in the Italian central Apennines, also due to the abandonment of traditional rural activities such as mountain farming and animal husbandry. Their protection and enhancement should be the main goal of a careful management of the forest resources, both inside and outside the protected areas
Regional development of inland areas through disaster risk reduction and new connections with the coast
Full text linkThe planning strategies conceived and implemented in Europe in the last decades
by land-management authorities to revive fragile and vulnerable inland areas have
been focusing increasingly on the enhancement of their natural and cultural
landscapes. However, the threats to inland areas imposed by climate change and
(increasingly impactful) natural hazards have been exacerbating the now chronic
depopulation of those regions, therefore increasing the decay of their natural and
cultural assets, namely the decline of their landscape. Although relatively new,
these threats have been affecting in many ways, and to great extent, all different
types of inland areas, from the coastal hinterland, fairly close to the large and more
attractive urban areas, to the most distant and least accessible mountain regions,
with their peculiar landscape heritage rich of historical villages and towns.
Therefore, new imperative paradigms such as disaster risk reduction, adaptive
management and building back better, have not only drawn the attention and
interest of cutting-edge research and practice, but also focused their efforts and
energy towards their actual fulfilment. They are in fact some of the new ‘must’
emerged and being-established recently in spatial planning. After an extensive
analysis of the conceptual framework and scientific literature backing these urgent
and pressing issues, the research focuses on the case studies of three European
macro-regions: the Italian Apennines (in Marche and Alta Versilia), the coastal
hinterland of eastern Croatia (in Dalmatia), and the inland areas of northern
Portugal (in the region of Alto Minho). In all cases, the impact of natural hazards,
coupled with the ongoing process of littoralization and the aftermath of climate
change, has significantly changed the appearance and structure of both landscape
and local communities, undermining their environmental, sociocultural and
economic sustainability. The dissertation develops therefore a cross-comparative
analysis of the different case studies, in order to evaluate, in dialectical manner and
from different angles, the strategic-planning models implemented or conceived in
each case. The research outcome is a critic assessment of the outlined picture,
interpreted and returned by elaborating and discussing on the potential of
connecting inland areas to the coast, while reducing the risk of natural disasters,
not only a prerequisite for the regional development of inland areas, but also an
extraordinary opportunity to foster in fact their future regeneration

Città e borghi minori del Centro Italia: prove di ripartenza dopo il sisma del 2016
No full textLa ripartenza delle aree del Centro Italia, devastate dal sisma del 2016 e dalla crisi sanitaria COVID 19, si sta attuando, a partire dalle città e dai borghi minori, su due fronti tra loro strettamente interrelati: la ricostruzione fisica degli spazi aperti e degli edifici a disposizione delle comunità insediate e la rinascita socioeconomica attraverso l’individuazione di “nuovi sentieri di sviluppo” .
Un lavoro di analisi e interpretazione progettuale dell’area di studio, svolto da un gruppo molto ampio di ricercatori, coordinato dall’Università di Camerino , prende le mosse dalla descrizione dei caratteri strutturali, delle specificità e delle attività già intraprese per la rinascita dell’Appennino, e giunge ad articolare una prima visione per le transizioni verde e digitale del territorio dell’Italia Centrale, in coerenza con gli obiettivi dell’agenda ONU 2030 e della programmazione europea 2021-202

Sentiero 2 - Borghi in rete. Connettività e mobilità sostenibile nelle aree dell’Appennino Marchigiano
No full textIl tema della connettività e accessibilità (fisica e digitale) dei territori colpiti dagli eventi sismici rappresenta una delle precondizioni allo sviluppo stesso di questi luoghi. La Strategia Nazionale delle Aree Interne indica con chiarezza il ruolo loro assegnato nella strategia stessa: “Affnché la perifericità non si tramuti in marginalità è necessario accrescere l’accessibilità delle Aree interne ai servizi di base che qualificano la nozione stessa di cittadinanza, istruzione e salute in primis. Questo risultato può essere raggiunto attraverso due modalità di azione, fra loro mutualmente non esclusive: a) rafforzare e ripensare l’offerta di servizi di tali aree; b) migliorare la mobilità dalle e nelle aree, riducendo i tempi effettivi di spostamento per accedere
ai servizi disponibili presso i poli”.È evidente che il tema dell’accessibilità assume, in questo contesto, un ruolo determinante, soprattutto perché ad essa si legano molti degli interventi finalizzati allo sviluppo dell’area
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
