Culinary Tourism. A New Trend on the Tourism Market

2017

Seen as a new form of manifestation of the behavior of the consumer of tourism products and services, culinary tourism has recorded an ascending trending the last years, with a positive forecast for the following years. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is the orientation and encouragement of the tourist services providers to adopt regional development strategies that harness traditional local resources and products in a context where the contemporary consumer no longer only pursues the acquisition of products and services to meet their needs, but also looks forward to new experiences that are a delight for the senses. Against this background, the present paper aims to highlight so…

L'espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable

2011

By discussing the concept of development itself, authors propose two synthetic indexes relying on estimation of potential: Development Space Value and Development Space Creation Under the weak hypothesis that any successful development improves future possibilities, changes in potential are a good development measure. In their path, authors show how development space is tied with freedom: a shrink in it results mechanically in indexes fall. So, "sustainable" and "economic" become two sides of same piece rather than enemies. Reliable in simulations, the approach is to be tested in real conditions, to verify full data availability and to secure calculating methods.

Towards the ‘rurban’ scenario: plural forms of planning in Europe for a new alliance between city and countryside - Verso lo scenario ‘rurban’: forme…

2015

Nell’ultimo decennio si è manifestata una crescente attenzione alle relazioni di interdipendenza tra di- mensione urbana e dimensione rurale dello sviluppo territoriale.

Questo processo è particolarmente visibile nel con- testo europeo, dove per ragioni non solo insediative e funzionali, ma anche economiche, sociali e culturali l’avvento di modelli di sviluppo post-industriali ha portato a più complesse forme di ibridazione tra modelli di sviluppo urbani e rurali.

Il ri-ciclo socialmente innovativo come attivatore di sviluppo urbano e regionale. I brownfield come contesto di analisi e azione.

The research topic is the re-cycling of brownfields with social innovative practices, and how it can activate the urban and regional development. The research analyses critically and interprets the re-cycle theory (Marini and Bocchi 2014; Carta 2014) developed by the Italian Research “Re-cycle Italy” (PRIN) focusing on its social innovative aspects (Moulaert et al., 2005; Phills et al., 2008, Tekin and Tekdogan, 2015). Nowadays, the community-based planning is essential for the spatial regeneration processes. These realities generate a new sense of consciousness and a huge network of local activists, social enterprises able to develop the place in an incremental way. Therefore, it is import…
