Social Participation Considered as Meaningful in old age − the Perceptions of Senior Housing Residents in Finland
2023
AbstractAs populations across the world age, there is a recognised need for promoting social participation in older adults. Previous studies related to social participation have addressed that interactions perceived as meaningful may improve quality of life in old age. However, what is less clear is the nature of such participation from the perspective of older adults, as the vast majority of studies have been quantitative. The present study aimed to explore what characterises social participation that contributes to a meaningful everyday life, from the viewpoint of independently living Finnish older adults. Thematic analysis was used as an interpretative method drawing on semi-structured i…

Riuso e rigenerazione del patrimonio edilizio e dello spazio pubblico delle aree interne nell’era post Covid-19
2020
The contraction of relational public space in favor of private one was one of the consequences due to the Covid-19 containment, which generated deep changes on lifestyles. This situation leads not only to reformulate public policies on housing and services provision, but also to reconsider the territorial rebalancing between urban systems densely inhabited and internal areas of the country in demographic decline as a precondition of prevention contagion. Particularly, attention will be paid to a southern internal area where population density is low, high-unused housing stock is available and environmental standards are higher. The objective is to build a methodological proposal for support…

Territories and effects on student living conditions : a case study of the Paris student housing scheme
2021
International audience; In a context of competition between student cities, the local level is increasingly involved in improving student living conditions and is working to make their territory more attractive to students. A focus is made on the "Aide à l'Installation dans un Logement pour les Étudiants" (Help for students to settle in) of the city of Paris, a system that aims to promote the social mix of students. A quantitative evaluation of the system was carried out using the theory of capabilities. The program has increased the scope of possibilities by giving students the opportunity to live in Paris. However, the autonomy so sought after by the students is specific in that the finan…
Evoluzione tipologica e tecnologica dei sistemi di abitazione per l'emergenza _ Typological and technological evolution of housing systems for emerge…
2017
Le tipologie di abitazione temporanea oggi utilizzate in caso di emergenza si possono ricondurre a due sistemi strutturali fondamentali: il sistema ad involucro flessibile ed il sistema ad involucro rigido. Da questi deriva un sistema misto in cui elementi flessibili si integrano ad elementi rigidi, generando soluzioni particolarmente interessanti sia dal punto di vista tecnologico sia formale. Ai sistemi flessibili appartiene la tenda, insieme a tutte quelle strutture leggere, estensibili e/o gonfiabili, quali strutture a pantografo, pneumatiche o, tensostruttu-re. Ai sistemi rigidi si fa risalire la casa, da cui derivano il container ed il prefab-bricato, ma anche la roulotte ed il camper…

Qualitative analysis of housing demand using Google trends data
2019
Big data analytics often refer to the breakdown of huge amounts of data into a more readable and useful format. This study utilises Google Trends big data as a proxy for an analysis of housing demand. We employ a qualitative method (fuzzy set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis, fsQCA), instead of a quantitative method, for our estimate and forecast. The empirical results show that fsQCA successfully forecasts seasonal time series, even though the dataset is small in size. Our findings fill the gap in the qualitative and time series forecasting literature, and the forecasting procedure herein also offers a good standard for industry.
Institute of the Holy Heart in Palermo. Architectural and technological proposal of rehabilitation intervention for post-pandemic social housing.
2021
Close to the historical city centre, the prince Pignatelli built his villa-palace in the 18th century. Later it became the headquarter of the Order of the Holy Heart that instituted a school attended by the highest society. The 11430 m2 historical building (ground floor, first and second floor), along with its monumental garden (about 9600 m2), was abandoned by the nuns in 2008. The novel ownership is aimed at restoring and re-functionalising the complex, a kaleidoscope of urban-architectural and technological stratifications, located in a crucial point of Palermo still waiting for a new season of requalification, being also close to the Zisa castle, included in the UNESCO Arab and Norman i…
