Nuovi paradigmi per le aree interne. Il caso del Territorio Sicano.
2015
Il contributo descrive i primi esiti della ricerca sulle opportunità di sviluppo del territorio Sicano, condotta nell’ambito del Laboratorio di Sviluppo Locale del Polo Universitario di Ricerca di Bivona e Santo Stefano Quisquina per l’energia, l’ambiente e le risorse del territorio. La ricerca indaga un’area composta da 24 comuni, le cui risorse e coalizioni territoriali già attive possono indirizzare forme di sviluppo verso la ricapitalizzazione del territorio, il recupero del valore della ruralità e della capacità di costruire qualità dell’ambiente e dell’abitare, reti corte di produzione e consumo e offerta turistica. Il contributo, oltre a definire la metodologia di indagine applicata,…
RIGENERAZIONE DI CITTADINE RURALI MEDIANTE IL TURISMO SOSTENIBILE: UN MODELLO DI VALUTAZIONE
2017
Rehabilitation of ancient towns poses special questions because of the existing complex physical and social ties that can be properly integrated in decisions on sustainable urban planning by multi-criteria evaluations. This work proposes a description model aiding actions and decisions for the rehabilitation of historic centres through tourism development in Sicilian hinterland areas. The decision problem concerns the town of Cianciana, which in recent years has been appreciated by strangers who stay on this town to live with the local inhabitants. Despite this international attention, at present, the town is undergoing local’s depopulation, gentrification and economic crisis. The proposed …
Ruralità nella Valle del Belìce. Ieri ed oggi
2021
This contribution is intended briefly to relate the territorial analyzes on the dimensions of the rurality of the Belìce in the years following the earthquake that struck the area in 1968 with the current development prospects linked to the rural milieu of the area. Focusing on the studies and analyzes of Costantino Caldo and on contemporary literature, we have traced the essential characteristics of the primary sector of Belìce between the Sixties and Seventies and compared it with the current peculiarities, essential for setting the local development strategy of the first LAG which aggregates the entire area.
Fostering resilience in Inner Areas. The Sicani case study in Sicily
2022
In recent years, the theme of the regeneration of small centres in fragile and marginal areas has returned to the centre of the Italian debate and public policies, as well as resilience practices in which culturally-based regenera-tion projects, community cooperatives and resettlement processes are based on a spatial dimension capable of playing an active and unprecedented role. The COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing has reignited the debate on fragile areas, reinforcing the perception of those territorial ine-qualities between metropolitan and inner areas exacerbated by the crisis. In fact, the pandemic has further highlighted the serious shortcomings in the provision of servi…
Coesione europea e strategie di soft planning: tracce di una ricentralizzazione dello sviluppo. Alcune evidenze in Sicilia
2018
Le politiche di coesione territoriale dell’Unione europea mettono in discussione i principi dello sviluppo locale. Nonostante la Commissione europea abbia adottato un approccio place-based, sembra che le sue azioni di pianificazione soft si stiano muovendo in direzione di una centralizzazione delle funzioni decisionali. Lo sviluppo del PO FESR 2014-2020 in Sicilia nei settori del turismo e della cultura ne offre una concreta dimostrazione. The territorial cohesion policies of the European Union call into question the principles of local development. Although the European Commission has adopted a place-based approach, it seems that its actions of soft planning are moving towards a centraliza…
Local banks and credit: from crisis to the new regulatory proposals for the development of lending policies in favour of the real economy
2014
Comparing the credit cooperative banks (CCBs) and banking groups operating in Italy, descriptive analyses show that the CCBs, unlike large banks, despite the economic downturn, have continued to extend credit to customers, but at the cost of a higher incidence of bad credit. This increased credit risk of local banks has been caused by management policy choices, such as the preference to modify the conditions applicable to credit supply and to engage firms in long-term credit relationships rather than initiate credit recovery procedures. An empirical analysis shows that this risk has also been caused by a higher incidence of environmental factors such as the spread of situations of crime and…
Un Parco nella Sicilia più nascosta
2021
Le aree interne della Sicilia sono caratterizzate, oltre che dalle tipiche crisi delle aree marginali, da altri fattori peculiari quali una costante arretratezza tecnologica e uno disfattismo di gattopardesca memoria. Esse sono anche però il luogo ove lo sviluppo locale potrebbe riportare i suoi migliori esiti, trasformandole da luoghi del sottosviluppo in luoghi di rinnovata e viva identità. Ciò in virtù dalla immensa potenzialità che luoghi naturali come i Parchi possiedono intrinsecamente per avviare uno sviluppo sostenibile che riesca a mantenere le componenti identitarie e paesaggistiche di un luogo e al contempo risollevarne le sorti. Il caso studio, ivi presentato, riguarda il Parco …
Employment and Local Development Policies as Instruments of Social Inclusion: An Empirical Evaluation of Their Scope
2012
¿Podemos afirmar que las políticas activas por y para el empleo y el desarrollo local son verdaderas políticas de lucha contra la pobreza y la exclusión social, o tan sólo son actuaciones de evitación de estas? A partir de algunos de los resultados más destacados obtenidos en una investigación en curso en la Universitat de València, el presente artículo pretende realizar una aproximación empírica al estado de la cuestión aportando una serie de factores para el debate, tales como: el verdadero grado de intervención social que plantean las políticas activas de empleo, lo estático del modelo, la repetitividad casi automática de los programas en los que se materializan las mismas, la falta de a…

L'évaluation socio-économique des infrastructures de transport : enrichir les approches du développement territorial
2007
International audience; Dans les années récentes, en France, le processus décisionnel en matière de grands équipements a sensiblement évolué, débouchant sur des réponses institutionnelles en termes de procédures adaptées. Ceci a eu pour conséquence d'accroître l'exigence informationnelle destinée à alimenter les débats, éclairer les problématiques abordées, leur donner un contenu le plus objectivé possible. L'une des principales thématiques systématiquement abordées dans le cadre de ces procédures participatives, est celle du développement territorial, dont l'importance en fait un des éléments essentiels de l'acceptabilité sociale. Les enseignements des observatoires socio-économiques autor…
