Matching across space: evidence from Finland
2005
This paper studies spatial aspects in local labour markets in Finland from the perspective of a matching approach. The monthly data comprise 173 Local Labour Office are as over a 12-year period between January 1991 and August 2002. The basic matching function is extended to account for spatial spill-overs between the local labour markets. The role of population density in the matching process is also examined. According to results, the Finnish local labour markets suffer from a strong congestion effect among job seekers, and spatial spill-overs even strengthen the congestion. An open vacancy is filled much easier than a job seeker is employed. The results show that the matching efficiency i…
El nost Milan: il rap dei ‘nuovi italiani', tra riappropriazioni urbane e rivendicazioni identitarie
2019
italianoFin dai suoi esordi, la cultura hip-hop e stata attraversata da una forte connotazione in senso spaziale, che ne ha variamente contraddistinto i diversi elementi. La citta post-industriale, specie lungo i suoi margini e nei suoi interstizi, rappresenta infatti un sito cruciale a partire dal quale la storia ma, soprattutto, la geografia del rap sono andate col tempo costruendosi. Obiettivo di questo articolo e di riflettere criticamente sulla relazione fra rap e spazi urbani in Italia alla luce delle complesse costruzioni culturali, sociali e politiche che la sottendono, con particolare riferimento a due rapper milanesi della cosiddetta generazione dei nuovi italiani, Zanko e Ghali. …
Architettura e urbanistica, presupposti e partecipazione
2012
In analysing the relationship between architecture and urban planning, this paper starts from Leonardo Benevolo’s declaration (in 1963) that defines the latter as “a part of politics required to concretize each operational program”. So, while waiting for the long expected reform, urban planning – once as well as today – needs a complete overhaul to get a better understanding of its role and relationship with politics. The other reference is to one of the founders of this field of research, Patrick Geddes, and his definition of “civic science” (1915). This allows us to stress how modern Geddes’ urban and social planning was. The subject is analysed at its various historical stages, and the m…
La pluralità dello spazio pubblico: una analisi ricognitiva nel centro storico di Palermo
2011
La letteratura inerente allo sviluppo urbano moderno e postmoderno, da Michel Foucault a Henri Lefebvre, ha aperto un dibattito in merito alla concezione classica di apertura/accessibilità dello spazio pubblico, evidenziando aspetti quali la esclusione spaziale, la sorveglianza e il controllo sociale, la questione del “diritto alla città”. Si assiste ad una progressiva riduzione o sostituzione dello spazio pubblico – privatizzato, fortificato, commercializzato – di cui risentono in primis i soggetti più deboli e marginali. Talvolta emergono nuove forme di produzione sociale dello spazio, ad esempio tramite riappropriazione informale di “luoghi di scarto”. Il lavoro di ricerca ha focalizzato…

An Examination of Tourist Arrivals Dynamics Using Short-Term Time Series Data: A Space—Time Cluster Approach
2013
The purpose of this study is to examine the development of Italian tourist areas ( circoscrizioni turistiche) through a cluster analysis of short time series. The technique is an adaptation of the functional data analysis approach developed by Abraham et al (2003), which combines spline interpolation with k-means clustering. The findings indicate the presence of two patterns (increasing and stable) averagely characterizing groups of territories. Moreover, tests of spatial contiguity suggest the presence of ‘space–time clusters’; that is, areas in the same ‘time cluster’ are also spatially contiguous. These findings appear to be more robust in particular for those series characterized by an…
A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis model to predict bank bailouts: a study of the Spanish financial system
2020
This paper examines the restructuring of the Spanish financial system. This study is justified by the massive economic and social impact of this process in Spain. Based on the annual accounts and the annual reports of Spanish credit institutions, a model was created to predict the possibility of bank failure or bailout. The variables were selected following a review of the literature. They included the legal form of the credit institution (savings bank versus bank), leverage, real estate investment, gross operating margin, staff costs and non-performing loans. Two variables that had not previously been used in studies of this type were also included in the model: risk-weighted assets and co…
La relació entre història de la llengua i història literària
2021
La relació entre la disciplina història de la llengua i la disciplina història de la literatura ha estat una relació de subordinació, tant des del punt vista conceptual com metodològic. La primera ha estat subordinada a la segona. En aquest article tractem en primer lloc de les circumstàncies i els esdeveniments històrics que han determinat aquesta situació de subordinació: la identificació cultural entre llengua i literatura (però amb la supeditació de la primera a la segona), el naixement de la lingüística romànica (que, paradoxalment, no va afavorir l’autonomia de la història de la llengua) i la desclosa de les cultures nacionals, que també van donar prioritat a la literatura nacional. E…
Using uncertain preferential information from stakeholders to assess the acceptability of alternative forest management plans
2017
In forest management planning, participatory planning processes are often encouraged as a means to acquire relevant information and to enhance the stakeholders' acceptability of alternative plans. This requires the aggregation of the stakeholders' preferences that can be done in a wide variety of manners. The aggregation process strives to reduce the information into a single set of preferences that simplifies the information and allows for the use of discrete decision support tools. Depending on how the preferences are aggregated, a wide range of plan rankings can emerge. Although this range of ranking complicates the issue of plan selection, it does highlight the uncertainty involved in a…
