AREE DISMESSE ED ORTI URBANI: UN “VALORE SOCIALE COMPLESSO” NELLE CITTÀ Abandoned areas and urban gardens: a "complex social value" in the cities
2015
The contribution to the welfare of citizens that urban gardens can generate represents a "social use-value". The social value of horticulture in cities can be expressed by means of an appropriate set of indicators describing the produced values. The proposed work, which is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration, highlights the potentiality of abandoned and degraded urban areas, and intends to outline a model for the assessment of the social value generated by the introduction of "urban gardens". The proposed model can be utilised for selecting the most suitable areas for the use in question, for monitoring the effects of policies for urban gardens on urban sustainability, and for …

THE BOTANICAL GARDEN “BERNARDINO DA UCRIA” IN THE NATURAL PARK OF THE NEBRODI (SICILY) AND ITS MISSION TO CONSERVE, EXPLOIT AND SPREAD LOCAL AGROBIOD…
2016
In Sicily, the academic botanical gardens of Catania, Messina and Palermo have been historically exerting a multiplicity of activities ranging from maintenance of ex situ collections to plant conservation policy, practice and ecological restoration, along with more traditional functions related to education and academic research. In the last decade’s, two new botanical gardens the “Nuova Gussonea” and the “Bernardino da Ucria, were created in Sicily, with the aim to play more delimited, yet modern and complementary roles. The garden “Nuova Gussonea”, within the Etna Natural Park, is mostly devoted to collect and preserve the native flora of the Mount Etna, with a special focus on endemic an…

Il Forte San Giacomo in Favignana : i giardini segreti e lo spazio pubblico
2018
Favignana è la maggiore delle isole appartenenti alle Egadi, il più orientale degli arcipelaghi della Sicilia, tanto vicino geograficamente al mondo musulmano da far seguire a secoli di quasi totale spopolamento per timore di invasioni, una storia di incarceramenti e reclusioni, che fa della fruntera di mori sia un porto di passaggio sia un luogo in cui restare, bloccati anche per molti anni. Oggetto di questo lavoro è la proposta di sistemazione degli spazi esterni dell’ex carcere di S. Giacomo di Favignana, ricavato nella struttura dell’omonimo forte tardo cinquecentesco, il cui nucleo a sua volta faceva parte del sistema difensivo medievale dell’isola, e che dal 2011 si trova in fase di …

Privātmāju dārzi pilsētā
2019
Maģistra darba tēma ir „Privātmāju dārzi pilsētā”. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt privātmāju dārzu nozīmi pilsētnieku dzīvē un pilsētvidē. Darbā izvirzīti četri pētnieciskie jautājumi: kā pilsētu dārzi tiek skaidroti teorētiski; kādas ir dārzu īpašnieku piešķirtās nozīmes dārziem; kādas funkcijas tie pilda; kāda ir privātmāju dārzu ietekme uz pilsētvidi. Pētījuma teorētiskajam ietvaram izmantoti dažādi sociālo zinātņu teorētiskie skatījumi: pilsētas lauksaimniecības perspektīva, pilsētplānošanas teorijas un simboliskā interakcionisma teorija. Darbā izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētījuma metodes: daļēji strukturētas intervijas ar privātmāju dārzu īpašniekiem, novērojumi, kā arī dokumentu analīze…
La Kalsa è un giardino. Resistenza e partecipazione alla vita urbana del centro storico di Palermo, dei ruderi di guerra e della vegetazione spontane…
2023
Palermo è molti paesaggi; è una geografia di luoghi esagerati in grado di generare una condizione di costante stupore in chi la attraversi. Le molte anime di popoli diversi che l’hanno abitata e di quelli che ancora la abitano costituiscono un mosaico fatto di relazioni strettissime e inedite tra piante, animali, uomini, mare e luce. Il presente contributo intende restituire una lettura (certamente non esaustiva in quanto sarebbe impossibile farlo), di alcune condizioni di convivenza che sono state osservate all’interno degli spazi aperti della città (in particolare nel suo quartiere Kalsa). Queste sono interessanti perché ci mostrano come legami spontanei tra specie viventi e oggetti diver…
