For a “Living (Lab)” Approach to Smart Cities

2016

Thanks to the diffusion of information and communication technologies, and despite the huge margins of improvement of the operating conditions of the Web, sharing an idea can be today the starting point for the birth of either a start-up or a community of interests, able to achieve a variety of goals without the intervention of any public institution. In relation to such a ferment of successful micro-level initiatives, Territorial Living Labs are here interpreted as place-based ecosystems of co-creation of goods, services as well as new organizational and social models of smart urban life. From this interpretation, the necessity strongly emerges of a coherent and viable reference framework …

L’arte del dubbio. Critica della razionalità urbanistica

2014

Una delle questioni cardinali dell'urbanistica è quella relativa alla conoscenza per il piano. Cosa conoscere per agire? Come acquisire conoscenza vera, legittimata e utile? Come possiamo essere sicuri di sfuggire alle aporie cognitive per non produrre effetti nefasti sulla città e per la comunità? L’assertività prodotta dalla conoscenza scientifica e l’incertezza generata del dubbio si rincorrono in una eterna e fertile gara epistemologica che risale all'alba della filosofia e che ha sempre stimolato la Planning Theory (M. Carta, Teorie della pianificazione, 2003). Il dubbio ha alimentato come un fiume rigoglioso la storia del pensiero filosofico, la maturazione del pensiero scientifico e …

Leilighetskompleks i små lokalsamfunn- virkninger i eiendomsmarkedet : en analyse basert på data fra Egersund

2009

Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2009 Hensikten med oppgaven er å undersøke boligmarkedet i Egersund, og virkningene av bygging av større leilighetskomplekser. Bygging av leiligheter har økt de siste årene, og utgjør i dag 21,9 % av det totale boligmarkedet. Spesielt i større byer har det vært mye bygging av leiligheter. Denne trenden finnes nå også i mindre byer. På bakgrunn av teori har jeg utledet en prisfunksjon. Denne gir prisen som en funksjon av de ulike egenskapene til boligene. Funksjonen dannes på bakgrunn av etterspørrernes etterspørselsfunksjoner og tilbydernes tilbudsfunksjoner. En prisfunksjon kan anta ulike former. Jeg har valgt å se nærmere p…

Derecho, planes y racionalidad práctica

2015

There is, according to many contemporary jurisprudential theories, a tight relationship between law and practical rationality: the law gives us, or at least it purports to give us, reasons for action. In his book, Legality (2011), Scott J. Shapiro puts forward what at first glance appears to be a new view in this vein. Shapiro calls it the “Planning Theory” of law; it provides an account of what the law is in terms of a particular kind of reasons: plans (a notion moulded, in his work in the philosophy of action, by Michael E. Bratman). In this paper, I provide a reconstruction of the Planning Theory as a view of the relationships between law and practical rationality, and I point to some fu…

Predicting women purchase intention for green food products in Indonesia

2009

Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2009 This study investigated the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior in predicting women consumers on their intention towards purchasing green food products among 406 participants. Using linear regression, five independent variables had been examined: attitude towards green food products, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and perceived difficulty in predicting purchase intention. The results reveal further evidence of consistency between Attitude, Subjective Norm, Perceived Behavioral Control and Perceived Difficulty as presented in Theory of Planned Behavior. Despite the supporting evidence for the …

An Italian Urban “Fashion” The Urban 1 Programme as a Catalyst for Institutional Planning Shift

2014

Since the 1990s Italy has been going through changes and experiments concerning modes and tools of urban government. New methods, based on public­private partnership, on a consensual basis, were progressively adopted, overcoming the traditional authoritative mechanisms and role of public actors. The contribution of Community policies such as initiatives on urban areas, has been crucial in creating new tools, influencing the existing ones and activating new approaches to planning. This paper builds some theoretical considerations on the contributions the implementation of European Programmes has given to the changes in the conception of urban interventions and thedebated shift in urban polic…
