The Role of Sharing Mobility in Contemporary Cities. Legal, Social and Environmental Issues

2020

The emergence of sharing mobility is having a profound impact on urban landscapes. In fact, it is deeply affecting the traditional organization of local services by calling into question how urban transportation is planned, and by redesigning city spaces. Further, by connecting people to shared assets, services or both, sharing mobility is poised to facilitate the more efficient use of underutilized resources, becoming a powerful tool for economic growth and social inclusion, while also contributing to sustainability. That being said, the economic, social and spatial impacts of sharing mobility have not been sufficiently investigated, and so far, the evidence is mixed. From a normative stan…

Composite Indicator of Social Inclusion for the EU Countries

2016

Social inclusion is one of the key challenges of the European Union Sustainable Development Strategy (EU SDS). We use the main indicators identified by Eurostat within the operational objectives of the specific European policies to measure social inclusion for the 27 member countries of the European Union. In particular, we aggregate four basic indicators in a multiplicative composite indicator via a DEA-BoD approach with weights determined endogenously with proportion constraints. We obtain a score of social inclusion that allows us to grade the 27 EU countries from 2006 to 2010. In this way, we highlight the specific role played by the four indicators in determining improvements and deter…

Coltivare la salute mentale: dignità, partecipazione e creatività attraverso il lavoro

2022

This chapter, trying to imagine a reversal of the conditions of marginality or disincentives to the participation of subjects with mental suffering, deals with the pioneering case of the Cooperativa Solidarietà in Palermo. Specifically, among the experiences carried out by its members, the Vivaio Ibervillea, in which people with mental suffering have been working and self-actualising together with other citizens and professionals for many years, is considered particularly significant. The parameters that we take into consideration, in an exploratory key, to define whether or not this case can be considered a good practice, include some elements that are also analysed in other case studies i…

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRE-ADOLESCENT IMMIGRANTS OF SECOND GENERATION

The goal of this research has investigated if individual levels of EI in adolescent immigrants of second generation are related to different indicators of psychological adjustment such as individual well-being and peer relationships. To this aim, a group of 266 students of two schools in Palermo: 63 immigrants and 203 autochthonous aged from 10 to 18 (M=13.6, SD=25.3) EI was measured using a recently published Italian test IE-ACCME (D’Amico, 2013) addressed to preadolescents and adolescents and aimed at measuring the four branches of emotional intelligence described in Mayer & Salovey’s model (1997) using both self-report and performance measures. Psychological well-being was measured using…

Verso una disciplina giuridica della sharing mobility nell’Unione europea

2020

L’articolo propone un’analisi delle principali questioni relative alla regolamentazione dei servizi di sharing (o shared) mobility. Attraverso una disamina dei tratti peculiari dei diversi modelli di organizzazione economica per l’offerta di servizi di mobilità condivisa, si ricostruiscono i principali nodi problematici connessi tanto alla definizione di regole di governo del mercato dei nuovi servizi di mobilità, quanto all’esigenza di garantire una mobilità che sia anche veicolo di inclusione sociale e di sostenibilità ambientale. Nel farlo, l’articolo offre una riflessione critica sulle opposte polarità che caratterizzano il dibattito corrente in tema di sharing mobility: per un verso, l…

Scuola ed educazione nel pensiero di Jane Roland Martin

2017

The article presents Jane Roland Martin's philosophy of education in the light of the need to rethink the school according to more inclusive and gender-sentive ideals. From a pedagogical perspective, Roland Martin argues first and foremost that not one can opt for an educational ideal that claims to be free from sexual difference: this is equivalent to confirming an ideal designed for the male experience, but then proposed to both males and females as desirable goal to reach in school contexts. Roland Martin instead argues for the need to rethinking school contexts in more inclusive terms and, first of all, the ideal of "educated person". At the same time, however, this account highlights t…

The residence permit for third-country nationals who are victims of human trafficking: A double-face instrument between compliance strategy and prote…

2017

Purpose The aim of the present study is to explore institutional design strategies that promote compliance by regulating peculiar sorts of agents, namely, human trafficking victims, starting from the point of view that institutions assume addressee virtue, but instead should consider the hypothesis of non-compliance or that the measures adopted reveal their inefficiency to satisfy the goals they were thought for, or that they are applied to obtain scopes, which are different from the ones they were conceived for. Design/methodology/approach Different methodological approaches, both deductive and inductive, are combined in the present paper, together with comparative and philosophical insig…

Quali regole per la sharing mobility in Europa. Un’introduzione

2020

All over Europe urban mobility services are subject to specialized regulatory regimes. In the last decade, new technologies have upended the sector, making possible new ways of organizing the industry. Platforms like Uber and Lyft have been among the first to seize these possibilities. However, they have often done so without regard for national and local laws. In response to these changes many EU jurisdictions have amended their sectoral regulations, revisiting issues such as licensing, background checks and insurance. The result has been a vast landscape of legal, commercial, and political conflict where local administrators, private operators and citizens are obliged to act within a norm…
