Lo spazio collettivo nei contesti spontanei dell'abitare. La rigenerazione urbana e sociale di Bogotà e Medellììn
Assumendo l’inscindibilità della diade architettura-necessità, la ricerca volge il suo interesse nei confronti della dimensione collettiva dell’abitare, orientandosi specialmente verso quei contesti urbani e sociali emblematici laddove, alle trasformazioni indotte dall’evolversi della vita stessa, si sovrappongono problematiche incrinanti la possibilità di un vivere felice. In tali contesti più urgenti e bisognosi, l’architettura è concepita quale risposta concreta all’imprescindibile bisogno di abitare, e si rivela uno strumento capace di migliorare la qualità di vita della collettività, garantendo il bene comune ed incrementando il capitale sociale. Gli spazi collettivi, ritenuti la rispo…
Mind Games
2021
This paper describes the preliminary stages and the theoretical and methodological inspiration for the design of UrbanCraft, a gamified activity based on Kevin Lynch's mental maps and aiming at enhancing youth participation and inclusion in urban co-design and governance. This activity draws on previous local experiences on participation and social inclusion, held in the Southern Italian city of Palermo, in an attempt to mix urban studies, serious games and artificial intelligence methodologies. In this experiment, we designed a gamified activity conceived for nine- to twelve-year-old primary and secondary school children, due to our previous cooperation with several primary and secondary s…
Diritto all'ascolto e partecipazione dei minori non accompagnati
2021
Il contributo analizza il quadro normativo comunitario e nazionale in tema di tutela dei minori non accompagnati. In particolare, lo studio si sofferma sui profili del diritto all'ascolto, disciplinato nelle fonti internazionali e nazionali, e sulla partecipazione dei minori, anche attraverso la presentazione di un caso studio. Pur nella consapevolezza dell''intrinseca complessità della questione, si ritiene tuttavia che occorra ancora, sia a livello europeo che nazionale, una maggiore attenzione da parte dei legislatori e una visione di insieme in tema di protezione del minore, che tenga conto della peculiarità della situazione del minore migrante.
Cultura e Amministrazione nella transizione digitale
2021
The research concerns cultural heritage and, in its overall dimension, the evolution of culture, considered in the light of the very significant transformations in the contemporary global world, which in an unprecedented and expansive way affect its conceptual framework, also in terms of the relationship with the person, considered in the role of user and co-creator of the cultural value; and they also invest public duty which is entrusted with tasks of protection and promotion of both the development of the person and of culture. The analysis points out the overcoming of a markedly materialistic vision, the shift of attention from the conservative dynamics to the management profiles of cul…
Etnografia giuridica a Ballarò. Per dirottare il verso del sapere
2021
In Palermo, the Law department and a poor bazar of used things share the same square. Even if so closed, the academy and the market ignored and inspect each other with a mutual suspect for a long time. This happened as long as in an academic course an experiment of collaboration between students and merchants has been launched. The aim was to look at the right from the margin and to rewrite the rules together. The produced regulation draft has been used by the Municipality to make the market official. From this experience emerges an idea of university epistemologically humble, able to renounce to the title of knowledge’s monopolist and to activate processes of knowledge co-creation.
Community Development and Social Participation
2011
The paper presents the reslt of the action research project issued in Palermo (Southern Italy), in disadvantaged urban suburbs, methodologically based on Kurt Lewin's field theory - that is a three-step spiral process of planning which involves recoinnaissance; talking actions; and fact-finding about the results of the action - in order to develop the social participation and the social change. The principal aim of the project was the empowerment of participants, obtaining their collaboration through participation, giving them acquisition of knowledge for a real social change.
Sustainable user-driven innovation supporting Open Government policies- A System Dynamics perspective applied to the Municipality of Palermo-
Going beyond a technocratic e-government paradigm, this research aims at analyzing how, through the two-ways interaction supported by Web 2.0 technology, skilled external collaboration and knowledge-sharing between citizens and public administrations can offer new ways of citizen participation, enhancing political decision-making process and public value creation. Particularly, the purpose is to investigate how skilled citizens can serve as contributors to tasks that are traditionally performed by designated civil servants and now are outsourced to an undefined, generally large group of people, in the form of an open call for contributions. To this end, we have conducted a field research in…
Visions and Forms of Democratic Participation in Italian Universities after 1968
2022
The essay focuses on the ideological aspects and organizational dynamics underlying the 1968 protests in Italian universities. It analyses the inter-generational confrontation within the parties and in the wider public sphere in order to explain the new assembly-based organization in the Italian university. Young people in many countries demanded new spaces for a more direct political action; in Italy this would foster a change in the university representatives and parliamentary bodies which had so far mediated student participation. The UNURI (Italian University’s National Representative Union), founded in 1948, would suffer a crisis in 1968 precisely on the thrust of requests from youth i…
Democrazia e consultazione on line. Nuova edizione rivista e aggiornata
2023
Il volume è stato immaginato per gli studenti dei corsi di laurea in comunicazione, per gli studiosi e gli operatori della comunicazione pubblica. Integra infatti riflessioni su comunicazione e decisioni pubbliche, democrazia e media digitali, ripercorrendo il dibattito sulla consultazione elettronica attraverso discipline e settori differenti. Il testo, a partire da una riflessione teorica sulla democrazia deliberativa, esamina in modo critico la risposta tecnologica al declino della partecipazione politica a livello internazionale. Presenta le tecniche di consultazione pubblica on line, gli standard minimi, possibili strumenti di pianificazione (metodologica e comunicativa), in una prospe…
