Co-designing a social media service for civic participation
2010
User participation in social media design processes has similarities with civic participation for example in urban planning. Internet enables new virtual environments that can be planned collaboratively and be used for civic participation. In the Monimos case study we developed a social media website for immigrants and multicultural associations in a participatory design process together with the users. In this paper we present the critical issues in co-designing a social media service that aims at civic participation. We also give suggestions for how to cope with the challenges in a multicultural participation process. We claim that constant meta-level discussion about the goals and partic…
Service-learning in the Spanish university system : A study based on deans? perception
2019
The third mission of the University consists of returning to society part of what it receives. This way of understanding the relationship between society and university involves the use of new teaching/learning methodologies, in which teachers cease to be mere transmitters of knowledge, and students acquire an active and cr itical role in response to the social needs. Service - Learning is a methodological strategy that combines the theoretical training in a field of knowledge and the implementation of the knowledge acquired through provision of a service to the community. This methodology is appropriate to make that third mission of the university institution possible. The objective of thi…
Social Embeddedness in Farmers Decision Making
2014
Reciprocal interactions among farmers and consumers can be seen as the central point of market exchanges in Civic Agriculture (CAs). This work exploits the concept of social embeddedness as a conceptual tool for describing some phenomena related to CA. Social embeddedness concept might help to understand how consumers and producers behave in the market beyond the paradigm of neoclassical economics theory. The objective of this study is to empirically evaluate which attitudes may influence farmers decision to participate to several types of CAs. Our results confirm the strong role of social embeddedness phenomenon in those forms of CAs characterized by personal relations between farmers and …
Palermo, ZEN District. An occasion of urban re-qualifying
2012
Among the changes made to the original scheme proposed by Amoroso Group, were some that showed the willingness to accommodate the constraints established by the local council and were designed primarily to protect certain pre-existing historical sites in the area. Consequently, the gridded, dense neighbourhood Zen 2 had to be opened in certain parts. Thereupon on the South-East quarter the "0D" insula, the citrus grove, the historical outskirts and the school in Trapani Pescia Street detect an emblematic fragment, useful to understand the contradictions that exist in this district, where heterogeneous elements form self and distinct parts. The design of new residences in this area is an occ…
Giuseppe Samonà e la “spina dorsale” di Gibellina Nuova
2020
Nel 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordina il gruppo di progettazione formato da Vittorio Gregotti, Gianni Pirrone e Alberto Samonà per il Progetto del Centro civico, commerciale e culturale di Gibellina Nuova. Del piano è realizzato il municipio e poi, rielaborato e in altro luogo, il teatro. I monumenti, fondati su un asse pedonale in quota connesso a un suolo artificiale articolato, esprimono l’unità architettura – urbanistica e anticipano, per certi versi, una riflessione successiva del Direttore dello IUAV sulla dialettica fra urbano e rurale.
Allestimento del Museo Civico nel convento dei Padri Cappuccini a Bisacquino, Palermo; Allestimento del Museo "La Fabbrica di Guglielmo" nell'Abbazia…

1. Scheda Allestimento del Museo Civico nel convento dei Padri Cappuccini a Bisacquino, Palermo. Il progetto di allestimento museale s’inserisce nel quadro specifico proprio del museo della cultura materiale. La qualità architettonica complessiva del convento dei frati cappuccini pone la necessità di armonizzare l’allestimento museale con il carattere specifico degli ambienti costitutivi il complesso claustrale, individuati, nel progetto di restauro dell’edificio, come spazi espositivi. Proprio l’intendimento dell’allestire “come arte del porgere; ovvero mostrare con misura e porgere con intelligenza” ha indotto verso scelte progettuali declinate in ragione del percorso narrativo del muse…
Il difensore civico tra norma e realtà
2008
I difensori civici tendono ad atteggiarsi come “mediatori” nei rapporti tra cittadini e pubblica Amministrazione e consentono di ripristinare condizioni di buona amministrazione compromesse dal cattivo funzionamento dei pubblici poteri; infatti, l’ombudsman deve rilevare le inadeguatezze, i vizi e gli abusi nell’uso dei poteri dell’esecutivo nell’ambito dell’Amministrazione, ma non può mai modificare, revocare o annullare i provvedimenti dell’Amministrazione. Esso si pone come punto di mediazione tra cittadini e pubblica Amministrazione, momento partecipativo nella gestione del procedimento amministrativo, stimolo e verifica dell’azione amministrativa, che deve rapportarsi, sì, ai valori di…

SUBJETIVISMO ÉTICO Y OBJECIÓN DE CONCIENCIA
2018
In this paper, I will present the conceptual differences between civil disobedience and conscientious objection, which have been depicted by liberal authors such as J. Rawls, J. Raz and in Spain by M. Gascón Abellán. I will argue that conscientious objection, as a practice that is distinct from civil disobedience and rests on a right to “moral privacy”, finds his justification on a subjectivist ethics or on a voluntarist account of natural law. I will try to show that in both cases, it is not clear how a) to justify legal norms that tries to balance the objectors’ claims and the opposite claims of rights’ holders b) to determine the seriousness of the ethical commitment of conscientious obj…
