Una svolta qualitativa per l’abitare: quartiere, periferia, città.

2015

Non si può parlare di città senza fare cenno alla casa e al quartiere: è con riferimento a queste due dimensioni che vanno studiate la difficile realtà del disagio abitativo odierno e le cause che lo generano, per far fronte a un’ennesima emergenza aggravata dall’attuale crisi economica. In un periodo in cui urbanisti, architetti ed esperti del settore attribuiscono un ruolo rilevante al tema della rigenerazione e del rammendo urbano, il social housing può offrire scenari interessanti. Fondamentale è il ruolo che i quartieri possono svolgere come generatori di spazi di qualità nella vita quotidiana, offrendo una risposta qualitativa al fabbisogno abitativo. Focalizzando l’attenzione sul ter…

Viaggi nell’immaginario: il turismo virtuale nel sito UNESCO di Tarragona

2023

Le nuove tecnologie hanno trasformato in modo radicale non solo la geografia come disciplina, ma anche le geografie del mondo. Il digitale ha assunto, infatti, un ruolo di mediazione sempre più pervasivo nella produzione dello spazio, come delle conoscenze e degli immaginari geografici. Le possibilità offerte dal virtuale, in particolare, offrono oggi un contributo decisivo nella comunicazione dei significati attribuiti ai luoghi e rispondono in modo sempre più efficace ai bisogni emergenti del settore turistico. Le esperienze di visita mediate dal digitale mirano a coinvolgere i sensi e risultano efficaci quando promuovono immersioni rigorosamente realistiche. Nel quadro di queste riflessi…

New technologies have radically transformed not only geography as a discipline but also the geographies of the world. Indeed the digital has assumed an increasingly pervasive mediating role in the production of space as of geographic knowledge and imaginaries. The possibilities offered by the virtual in particular now offer a decisive contribution in communicating the meanings attributed to places and respond increasingly effectively to the emerging needs of the tourism sector. Digitally mediated visitor experiences aim to engage the senses and are effective when they promote rigorously realistic immersions. Within the framework of these reflections the paper highlights the renewed relevance of authenticity both of the tourism experience and of cultural heritage in relation to its potential for attraction and proposes a contextualization of the theme in light of the unprecedented opportunities granted by technologies for the creation of virtual and augmented spaces. The proposed discussion is therefore also a journey aimed at exploring authenticity as a tool through which new technologies can effectively mediate a sense of place and foster brand communication of a destination. The case study is the UNESCO site of Tarragona whose most relevant image for urban policies is presented. This shared figuration spatially defined and rooted in a precise historical moment is reconstructed on the one hand through the analysis of functional documentation for the candidacy and on the other by means of a review of mobile applications developed for the promotion of the city's cultural heritage. The proposed journey and exploration of the place return in light of the research data and in conclusion the central role played by digital technologies in mediating the UNESCO imaginary. The forms of virtual tourism in Tarragona confirm that to travel is to experience a text enveloped in time and inscribed in space.Settore M-GGR/01 - Geografia

Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo

2022

Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…

In the current (post-) pandemic context and through the lens of a southern European perspective the purpose of this article is to critically reflect about the role of culture as possible vehicle of urban and community regeneration. In particular we will focus on the activities of the no profit organization «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in ZEN2 one of the last large popular and peripheral neighborhoods built in Palermo at the end of 80s in order to explore and understand how cultural practices work as agent of urban and social transformation capable of addressing emerging issues especially in the pandemic scenario we are experiencing. Thecasestudy has been conducted through analysis of documents participative observations (Honer and Hitzler 2015) and qualitative in-depth interviews with key actors involved in the conception organization and management of the activities carried out by Laboratorio Zen Insieme with representatives of local institutions and non-formal conversations with participants of the workshops heldin the neighborhood. The experience we narrate finds that cultural practices have re-conceptualized their design and functions as strategies of urban and community regeneration and at the same time have contributed to answer to emergent issues in developing proximity and local based strategies facing up to problems inherent civil rights educationalpoverty socio-spatial justice and have changed the image and identity of urban places they inhabit.In this sense the research provides a framework for development of strategies and legitimization for cultural practices and a point of discussionabouttheirrolein urban development.Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic its impacts on the territories yet to be understood are unevenly distributed revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places.

In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and groups a response to the new social and individual needs has been offered by cultural institutions that play a role of territorial agency often independently or in the absence of political institutions. Far from the idea of entertainment and divertissement it is in fact increasingly clear how the practices of cultural innovation experimenting with various forms of action and participation can in some cases play a fundamental role in the processes of social cohesion and community building representing an antidote to the worsening of the phenomena of marginalization and socio-spatial inequalities within cities and territories (Colantonio and Dixon 2011

Predicting the landslides triggered by the 2009 96E/Ida tropical storms in the Ilopango caldera area (El Salvador, CA): optimizing MARS-based model b…

2019

The main topic of this research was to evaluate the effect in the performance of stochastic landslide susceptibility models, produced by differences between the triggering events of the calibration and validation datasets. In the Caldera Ilopango area (El Salvador), MARS (multivariate adaptive regression splines)-based susceptibility modeling was applied using a set of physical–environmental predictors and two remotely recognized landslide inventories: one dated at 2003 (1503 landslides), which was the result of a normal rainfall season, and one which was produced by the combined effect of the Ida hurricane and the 96E tropical depression in 2009 (2237 landslides). Both the event inventorie…

Gli spazi persi. Cementificazione e inquinamento delle aree agricole

2012

Gli spazi dell’agricoltura in Europa stanno subendo una lenta e inesorabile riduzione. Secondo le ultime relazioni dell’UE, a partire dal 1990 a oggi sono andati persi circa 1.000 km2 l’anno di suolo fertile. Il «consumo del suolo» ha effetti diretti e indiretti su molti aspetti non prettamente agricoli: modificazione e perdita della biodiversità, impoverimento del tessuto imprenditoriale, scomparsa di tradizioni culturali e manutentive, modificazione del paesaggio, alterazioni dell’assetto idrogeologico.

Palermo : an incomplete post-metropolitan area

2017

Palermo is the most populated and important city of Sicily, and the fifth most populated city in Italy. Although it is widely known for its marginality. One of the traditional cli- chés connected to Palermo and Sicily is that its people have developed a passive attitude as a consequence of the many foreign dominations of the island. Most scholars point out that the city of Palermo has never been a metropolis and therefore there is no way it could be considered a post-metropolis, having almost entirely skipped the metropolitan phase. Today, the Regione Sicilia is work- ing on a reform that should lead to the città metropolitana (metropolitan city) of Palermo. We have chosen to consider the m…

Laboratorio Pandemia. Genere, riproduzione, spazio domestico

2021

Mettendo al lavoro il metodo di una critica femminista che parte da Marx per andare oltre, Claudia Borgia e Gabriella Palermo guardano alle trasformazioni della sfera riproduttiva accelerate dalla pandemia. Richiamano un processo complessivo di ristrutturazione della riproduzione che investe lo spazio domestico e il suo esterno, il lavoro salariato e quello non retribuito. Nella complessità delle trasformazioni in atto, scelgono di indagare due aspetti specifici: «le implicazioni politiche e sociali di una pandemia del tutto scaricata sui cosiddetti lavori essenziali» e «le conseguenze del doppio carico di lavoro sulle spalle delle donne, divenuto estenuante». A partire da qui individuano a…
