New Insights of Profile Oriented Marketing and Adaption Management for a Future-Oriented City Development
2017
The world is changing fast, and cities are facing complex transitions in economic, social and environmental areas. Therefore, the design of city systems will play an essential role in shaping a sustainable, innovative and livable future. Adaptive urban profiling was recently presented as a useful tool for municipals to enhance sustainable city development. It builds upon profile oriented marketing while including elements of adaption management. Thus, city managers can increase their cities attractiveness by providing it with a clear profile that is recognized around the world on the one hand, while flexibly adapting to change if necessary. Only an integrated approach that puts people first…
The urban revitalization of the coastal tourist destinations: An alternative for the Valencian Mediterranean tourist municipalities
2021
espanolLos municipios del litoral mediterraneo valenciano aumentaron sensiblemente su superficie construida por la irrupcion de la actividad turistica a mediados del siglo XX. A pesar de las ventajas iniciales, los problemas surgidos sobre el espacio urbano, por la naturaleza del modelo de desarrollo turistico utilizado, los dirigen hacia una perdida progresiva de su atractivo turistico. Ante esta circunstancia, se hace necesario intervenir sobre el espacio urbano, no solo para renovar el destino turistico sino tambien para corregir los problemas urbanos generados durante las ultimas decadas en unos municipios que supeditaron sus decisiones exclusivamente a las necesidades turisticas. Una o…
L’Asilo, Napoli: Dall’ordine poliziesco della politica culturale al regime estetico della comunità che viene
2020
This paper presents and analyses the cultural and social centre "Asilo" in Naples as an urban commons and as an example of critical citizenship.
Computational Intelligence and Citizen Communication in the Smart City
2016
Information and communication are at the core of the intelligent city of tomorrow, and the key components of a smart city cannot prescind from data exchanges and interconnectedness. Citizen communication is an integral part of the smart city’s development plans: freedom of information and involvement in collective decisions, e-democracy and decision-making feedback can be greatly enhanced in an intelligent city, and, among other smart city components, foster a new era of participation and wise decisions. In this contribution we describe the methodologies that can be implemented in order to correctly develop automatic recognition systems for citizen communication, paying special attention to…
Evaluation of the Use of a City Center through the Use of Bluetooth Sensors Network
2019
In order to achieve the objectives of Smart Cities, public administrations need to take measures to regulate mobility, which undoubtedly requires a high level of information and sensorization. Until the implementation of the connected vehicle takes place, it is still necessary to install sensors to obtain information about mobility. Bluetooth sensors are becoming a useful tool due to the low cost of equipment and installation. The use of Bluetooth sensors in cities, with short distances between sensors, makes it necessary to propose new classification algorithms that allow the trips of pedestrians and vehicles to be differentiated. This article presents the study carried out in the city of …
Smart city. Four approaches to the concept of understanding
2020
The paper analyzes the rhetoric of the smart city (SC) concept in order to recognize, categorize, and describe different perspectives of understanding the notion. Four approaches to the SC concept were isolated: three affirmative, and one rejecting. The approaches present a different understanding of the SC and indicate different elements creating urban ‘smartness.’ Despite differences, there is one common goal in every affirmative approach: to improve the quality of urban life. It is achieved through activities covering five dimensions distinguished within affirmative approaches. Together they can serve, i.e.,as a framework for SC case study analyses.
Multi-agent Systems for Estimating Missing Information in Smart Cities
2019
International audience; Smart cities aim at improving the quality of life of citizens. To do this, numerous ad-hoc sensors need to be deployed in a smart city to monitor the environmental state. Even if nowadays sensors are becoming more and more cheap their installation and maintenance costs increase rapidly with their number. This paper makes an inventory of the dimensions required for designing an intelligent system to support smart city initiatives. Then we propose a multi-agent based solution that uses a limited number of sensors to estimate at runtime missing information in smart cities using a limited number of sensors.
The Integration and Sharing of Resources for a New Quality of Living
2014
In questo capitolo, il tema della condivisione è trattato anche dal punto di vista giuridico attraverso una discussione caratterizzante il dibattito rilevante. Sono quindi approfondite le questioni inerenti le funzioni e la forma urbana. L’IT infatti può interagire con problemi operativi della città e con l’uso delle risorse ambientali (energia, suolo, acqua…), parametro indicativo su cui devono essere sviluppate le trasformazioni urbane. Come condividere gli spazi e le funzioni urbane costituisce la nuova frontiera nel campo dell’innovazione urbana. In this chapter, the issues of sharing of information and of information technologies use are dealt with from the juridical point of view, thr…
Vers des indicateurs locaux de performance énergétique : les étiquettes énergétiques territoriales. Une première approche à partir de l'estimation de…
2009
Global warming compels to investigate the decrease of green house gas effect emissions and so energy consumption reduction. At local scale, it leads to reach concrete goals regarding energy efficiency, which could be approached through the definition of indicators and guidelines for decision-makers. From the example of the city of Besançon (France), this research aims to define an original indicator, useful for planners. Considering a standardized mobility behaviour of inhabitants, we propose elements of methodology to measure the relative energy consumption of each zone based on their relative distance to the nearest shops, services and employment zones. The results display "zonal energy l…
Smart city and public lighting
2015
The smart city is increasingly becoming a concept of reference for what concerns the planning and the spatial development of cities. The concept of smart city cannot be easily standardized. It is based on a multi-service and multi-sectorial planning regarding various urban functions (energy, mobility, waste, etc.) and places them under a common denominator: the use of advanced technologies for minimizing resources consumption and simultaneously increase the quality of life of the citizens. This paper aims to give an overview on the concept of smart city and outline what, at present, are the main intervention areas considered at European level. Then the paper focuses on the public lighting t…
