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…

Lipas-data 9/2017

2017

Lipas-database includes basic information of Finland's public sport facilities, outdoor routes and recreational areas with excat location information. This data includes the situation in database as a list of sport facilities and their basic information. 3 map files (shapefiles) are included (data as points, lines and regions). The map files also include basic information about the sport facilities. The database is updated regularly and the data collection has been going on since 1970's.

Building the space: vaults’ geometry and stereotomy. Materials and architectural technologies in the Mediterranean area

2018

Costruire una volta ha sempre nei secoli rappresentato un’arte pratica che si nutriva del contributo di chi operava in cantiere: indispensabile risultava la tecnica, il sapiente taglio della pietra e l’opportuna collocazione della stessa nel gioco statico dell’organismo murario. Un sapere tecnico, questo, che combinava l’estetica con la organizzazione strutturale della fabbrica costruenda; l’esperienza pratica aveva dettato a muratori e scalpellini i precetti in merito ai differenti compiti organizzativi e alle relative gerarchie degli esecutori dell’opera edilizia, all’attrezzature e alle macchine da cantiere, agli utensili e alle lavorazioni da usare, incentivando una spiccata attitudine …

Toward an update of the structural model in Italian submerged areas: contributions from the EMODnet Geology Project

2016

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODNet) Project aims at the collection of as many existing data as possible on European Seas to be represented on digital maps at the 1:250,000 scale, accessible via web through a dedicated portal. It is articulated into different Lots concerning Bathymetry, Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Habitats, Human activities. The Geology Lot is realized by a Consortium in which the Geological Survey of Italy is partner. EMODnet Geology requires the compilation of a number of layers subdivided into Work Packages (WP), referring to seafloor sediments grainsize, sedimentation rates, Quaternary geology, pre-Quaternary geology and stratigr…

Redesign enterprise network by local Internet breakout : case study

2015

Nowadays, the popularity of cloud-based services around the web and SaaS applications are empowering customers to improve their business processes and increase user productivity while reducing the company’s IT operation costs. The local Internet breakout solution provides improved performance when accessing cloud-based applications along with a greater user experience. The reason behind this is not having data travel through the corporate WAN to access the Internet at a single point. This new network design solution not only improves user experience by lower latency when accessing the Internet, but also offloading the applications traffic from corporate WAN connections. The main theme of th…

Re-Inhabiting Inner Areas Triggering New Regeneration Trajectories: The Case Study of Sicani in Sicily

2022

The Italian debate on the so-called ‘inner areas’ has received a much-needed boost, following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further highlighted the differences between metropolitan and inner areas. While the progressive depopulation of inner areas is a worrying phenomenon, the limits of incessant urbanisation and the concentration of settlement and infrastructure policies in large conurbations have become evident. Departing from the framework of the B4R-Branding4Resilience research project of national interest and, by continuing in the furrow initiated by the SNAI, but also surpassing it, the aim of the University of Palermo’s research is to define the requirement for a…

Planeamiento territorial sostenible: un reto para el futuro de nuestras sociedades; criterios aplicados

2016

Resumen En buena parte de los 17 objetivos de desarrollo sostenible marcados como metas de la humanidad por la ONU se deja entrever la sostenibilidad. Debido al modelo socioproductivo dominante, el único modo de avanzar hacia territorios más sostenibles que permitan alcanzar y mantener el bienestar de la población mundial, es tener presente la necesidad de planificar adecuadamente el desarrollo territorial. Este trabajo reflexiona sobre esta necesidad y avanza en la definición de los principales criterios para alcanzar la sostenibilidad territorial en las escalas regionales y locales.

Rural Renewal Program in the Aspect of Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in the Opinion of Respondents from the Opole Voivodeship

2018

Sustainable development has a complex nature and is represented by economic, social and ecological pillars. Connected with the concept of multifunctionality on the rural areas it translates by diverse economic activities carried out with respect for environmental aspects, with the development of social and cultural functions, and with the attention to ensure good living conditions for the inhabitants. Effective achievement of sustainable development goals needs constant and consistent raising of public awareness, as well as an increase in the public access to information and its participation in the decision-making process. The aim of the paper is to assess, basing on the respondents‘ opini…

Agri-food Clusters as an Opportunity for Development of Border Rural Areas

2016

Cooperation within the framework of euroregions of the European Union is an answer to challenges posed by global economy and not merely an instrument to reduce negative external effects which exist in peripheral areas. In the long-term perspective, cooperation should serve to: ensure stability of natural capital, dissemination of knowledge and innovation as well as break the convention of simple industrialization thanks to the feedback of network economy. The sole meeting point of the three processes is a territory, the delineation of which should be executed by social actors capable of identifying resources that are available on it. The authors of the article present the justification of t…
