Valnerina Bike Sharing: prospettive di trasformazione territoriale

Il contributo proposto intende esporre il progetto Valnerina Bike Sharing, un servizio intercomunale di bike sharing elettrico a pedalata assistita finanziato all’interno del Programma di Sviluppo Rurale per l'Umbria 2014 – 2020, che s’inserisce in un territorio compreso tra la Cascata delle Marmore e la ex ferrovia Spoleto-Norcia. Con l’obiettivo primario di incrementare il turismo responsabile in territori a elevato valore naturalistico, l'intervento intende incentivare la mobilità ciclo-pedonale, sostenibile e accessibile, utilizzando in gran misura l’arteria sentieristica della rete regionale che si snoda lungo l’asse del fiume Nera contribuendo alla definizione di un sistema unitario i…

SUSPENDED TERRITORIES AND WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITIES AFTER CENTRAL ITALY EARTHQUAKE OF 2016

Nowadays cities are experiencing an unprecedented rate of growth, most of peripheral rural regions are facing shrinking phenomena. While globalization promotes strong economic concentrations in a few urban centers, peripherical regions are negatively affected by decreasing population and impending impoverishment, due to the lack of policy and the failure to develop and maintain rural economies. Although natural disasters accelerate these trends, the shock created by these unexpected events may generate a “window of opportunity”, linked both to risk-reduction processes and to transition paths towards more desirable futures. Earthquakes, more than other natural disasters, destabilize local sy…

Suspended territories and windows of opportunity after the 2016 earthquake in Central Italy

While globalization is promoting strong economic concentrations in a few urban centres, peripheral regions are negatively affected by decreasing population and increasing impoverishment, due to the lack of policies and the failure to develop and maintain rural economies. Although natural disasters accelerate these trends, the shock created by unexpected events may generate a window of opportunity, linked both to risk-reduction processes and to transition paths towards more desirable futures. This review aims to discuss tendencies in post-disaster management in the central Apennines after the 2016 earthquake, since this shrinking rural region is slowly concluding the emergency phase and star…

Territori marginali e finestre di opportunità. Norcia tra gli eventi sismici del 1979 e del 2016

Il contributo intende indagare la stretta connessione tra disastri naturali e traiettorie di sviluppo territoriale e come queste ultime siano determinate in larga parte dalle politiche pubbliche messe in atto nella fase post-emergenziale. A seguito dei disastri, il dibattito pubblico e politico, i grandi investimenti, la possibilità di operare trasformazioni urbanistiche possono generare uno scenario di opportunità e rinascita definibile come «window of opportunity». Si prende qui in considerazione l’evento sismico del 1979 di Norcia, insieme al relativo processo di ricostruzione, avviato assieme a un piano di rinascita economica incentrato sulle vocazioni locali e capace di frenare le tend…

Domini collettivi, forme di autogoverno per la gestione degli ecosistemi e lo sviluppo locale

One of the most ancient forms of self-government of environmental systems is that relating to the management of civic uses and collective lands, in which a specific local community controls and manages sustainable resources (fields, pastures, woods, etc.) sustainably and efficiently. The paper aims to briefly retrace the salient stages of the history of collective domains, and to explore their value as “goods that are produced by long co-evolutionary processes between human settlement and environment” (Magnaghi 2015, 139) highlighting the appearance of complex socio-ecological systems (SES). Finally, using the theory developed by Elinor Ostrom to analyze the sustainability of SES (Ostrom 20…

Camminare e progettare territori marginali

The paper aims to provide a report of the investigation and design activities which were carried out in the Apennine ridge of Umbria in collaboration with the Landscape Design department of the Vienna Polytechnic. The research found concrete realization in some landscape interventions and aspired to indicate different perspectives on landscape exploration practices in marginal and peripheral contexts. The contribution will focus both on the didactic experience of walking through the landscape and on the report of the project results. Walking is seen here as a perceptive and creative act, as a fluid practice that helps to recognize the characteristics of a territory and to enhance them throu…

Paesaggi digitali: le manifestazioni spaziali delle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione

The paper aims to investigate the evolution of the relationship between digital technologies and physical reality, through observing the main spatial manifestations of digital information and communication technologies. In the last decades, the flow of digital information began to materialize itself in a very physical infrastructure made of transcontinental cables and data centers. The analysis revealed the growing environmental and geopolitical implications of digital technologies.

Nascita, evoluzione e prospettive di due insediamenti rurali di colonizzazione: Borgo Carso e La Bazana

In Italy and Spain, under the colonisation policies of the 20th century, different villages were built as a strategic effort to improve rural areas. Overtime such villages have been subject to external and internal drivers of change with direct and indirect effects on its socio-economic, cultural, physical and environmental context. In the face of such challenges and due to the need to adapt to new requirements, activities, and functions, the design ideas that initially steered the development of the villages suffered several shifts. Thus, existing villages of colonisation in Italy and Spain hold valuable information to achieve a better understanding of spatial transformations, expansion pr…

Utopia e distopia nel progetto digitale

Sono passati più di venti anni dalla pubblicazione di Being Digital, il celebre libro di Nicholas Negroponte, all’interno del quale il fondatore del MIT Media Lab affermava che “il passaggio dagli atomi ai bit è irreversibile e inarrestabile”. Tale preannunciata rivoluzione, sembra oggi giunta a una fase più matura coinvolgendo sia la sfera pubblica che quella privata, le professioni, la politica e l’economia. Il digitale, facilitando e razionalizzando di giorno in giorno processi precedentemente analogici, è diventato ubiquo. Se da un lato gli aspetti positivi di queste trasformazioni sono evidenti, altrettanto palesi appaiono le aporie: dalla dipendenza tecnologica al rapporto con i socia…
