Mario Espliego: Molienda
No full text[ES] La obra de Mario Espliego parte de un hecho histórico: la suerte de un monumento escultórico en homenaje al líder socialista Pablo Iglesias que en 1939 es destruido y cuyos materiales fueron utilizados en la construcción de la tapia que separaba los jardines de la calle Menéndez Pelayo del Retiro. A partir de una detallada constatación de los hechos alrededor de este monumentos, Espliego crea Molienda, una obra que realza la historia inherente en los muros del parque del Retiro. El artista construye una mirada poética para enfatizar las otras vidas de estos materiales, que antes de ser silenciados en el Retiro, fueron centro de las miradas
Narratives of land abandonment in a biocultural landscape of Spain
No full textRural abandonment is a significant process in the Mediterranean region, posing sustainability challenges for rural and urban areas. Although there is an increase in studies focusing on the ecological implications and impacts of land abandonment and the role of rewilding, there is a knowledge gap in the study of the socio-cultural dimension of abandonment from the local perspective, even though it is crucial for land management decision. This study focuses on a case study in Western Spain, where a social survey was used to assess the perceptions of local communities regarding land abandonment and their implication on nature’s contributions to people and quality of life. A survey campaign was administered in the case study region during the summer of 2020, collecting 205 face-to-face surveys. The results show that local communities overall have a negative reaction toward rural abandonment. In addition, local respondents recognize how traditional agriculture is the main source for maintaining nature’s contributions to human well-being. Additionally, four groups of narratives toward rural abandonment were identified representing clusters of respondents with different motivations and interpretations of rural abandonment. This paper calls for understanding better the perceptions, values, and motivations toward rural abandonment and how their outcomes can be used as input for landscape management. Our results indicate that the local population perceives that the loss of rural livelihoods may entail serious environmental and societal problems, as locals are forced to abandon their rural-associated ways of life and migrate to urban areas.</p
Diverging values and development options for agroforestry in a metropolitan area of North Africa
No full textThe use of large green infrastructures in peri-urban areas, such as urban forests, has become one of the most relevant tools to mitigate some of the negative impacts of urbanization while providing multiple benefits to city dwellers. However, these peri-urban forests are often highly contested spaces. Agroforestry offers a promising solution to reconcile diverging interests in the peri-urban context. In this study, we look at the Maâmora cork oak forest in Morocco, which exemplifies some of the challenges faced by large-scale green infrastructures that become enmeshed in rapid urbanization. We explore these dynamics and (1) map how local residents perceive a peri-urban agroforest, (2) characterize groups of residents according to their perceptions, and (3) disentangle preferences for the development of green infrastructure. To do this, we conducted 278 participatory mapping interviews in three urban and three rural settlements around Maâmora, mapping urban and rural residents’ uses, values, disvalues, and development preferences. Our results show how urban agroforestry could reconcile multiple demands in peri-urban green spaces. However, our analysis reveals contrasting development preferences between rural and urban residents and points to a growing disconnection from nature among urban dwellers, which risks marginalizing diverse perspectives from those residents more closely connected to the landscape. Our analysis also highlights the importance of exploring disvalues for a better recognition of the plural values of nature and to identify potential conflicts in the context of urban and rural planning.</p
Il diritto penale nel canone di Mario Romano
No full textThis paper deals with the extension and the extraordinary scientific value of the works written by a great Master in Criminal Law, such as Mario Romano. The Author briefly presents some of the most relevant contributions given by Professor Mario Romano to the Criminal Science, first of all his "Commentario sistematico del codice penale" (Systematic Commentary on the penal code), a unique work. Finally, the paper talks about some topics which have been developed inside the work "Studi in onore di Mario Romano" (Studies in Honour of Mario Romano)
Perceived ecosystem services synergies, trade-offs, and bundles in European high nature value farming landscapes
No full textEcological and social outcomes of urbanization on regional farming systems: a global synthesis
No full textThough urban land covers only around 0.5% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface, urbanization often leads to significant changes in land use and land cover. However, knowledge on the ecological and social outcomes of urbanization is largely fragmented across a multitude of local-level studies. We synthesized the outcomes of urbanization on 15 ecological and social variables associated with regional farming systems, namely water quality, agro-biodiversity, carbon sequestration, control of invasive species, soil fertility, control of soil erosion, pollination, cultural identity, food security, income and employment, demographic stability, conflict mitigation, social network, health and education, and equity. From 246 cases, positive, negative, and non-conclusive urbanization outcomes were extracted. Additionally, distributions of these outcomes by continent, population size of towns/cities, national per-capita GDP, and dominant farming systems were assessed. As a result, more negative than positive outcomes were found. Although ecological outcomes were largely negative, social ones were mostly positive. Threats to water quality, demographic stability, and cultural identity arose as particularly pressing issues. The ecological outcomes related to pollination were largely positive but all other ecological variables reported higher negative outcomes. The social outcomes related to the economic viability of farming and employment were largely positive, whereas those related to cultural and equity aspects were predominantly negative. The ecological outcomes were frequently negative in the Global South, medium-large cities, poor countries, and for livestock or fishery systems. The social outcomes were more frequently negative in the Americas, highly populated cities and megacities, wealthy countries, and for livestock and fishery systems. The threats and opportunities of rural–urban transformations in different dimensions and contexts of farming systems should be considered in any urban planning strategy
