NEIGHBORHOOD EFFECTS IN SPATIAL HOUSING VALUE MODELS. THE CASE OF THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF PARIS (1999)
2009
In hedonic housing models, the spatial dimension of housing values are traditionally processed by the impact of neighborhood variables and accessibility variables. In this paper we show that spatial effects might remain once neighborhood effects and accessibility have been controlled for. We notably stress on three sides of neighborhood effects: social capital, social status and social externalities and consider the accessibility to the primary economic center as describing the urban spatial trend. Using spatial econometrics specifications of the hedonic equation, we estimate whether spatial effects impact the housing values. Our empirical case concerns the Metropolitan Area (MA) of Paris i…
A comparison of statistical methods and multi-criteria decision making to map flood hazard susceptibility in Northern Iran
2018
In north of Iran, flood is one of the most important natural hazards that annually inflict great economic damages on humankind infrastructures and natural ecosystems. The Kiasar watershed is known as one of the critical areas in north of Iran, due to numerous floods and waste of water and soil resources, as well as related economic and ecological losses. However, a comprehensive and systematic research to identify flood-prone areas, which may help to establish management and conservation measures, has not been carried out yet. Therefore, this study tested four methods: evidential belief function (EBF), frequency ratio (FR), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity To ideal Solution (TOP…
Evaluación de procesos de planificación y gestión territorial : un aporte metodológico desde una revisión de enfoques.
2020
La ‘Nueva Planificación Territorial Estratégica’ reaparecida en Europa a finales del siglo XX incorpora de manera intrínseca la necesidad de evaluación de los Planes de Ordenación Territorial. Esta evaluación no puede centrarse únicamente en evaluar el impacto de los planes, sino que debe realizarse también poniendo el foco en los procesos técnicos en los que se producen bienes materiales y la generación de conocimiento. El presente trabajo pretende aportar el marco metodológico para poder desarrollar un instrumento de evaluación de procesos de planificación y gestión de planes de ordenamiento territorial.
 Mediante el uso de una matriz de análisis, se comparan distintos enfoques de e…

Cropland versus Gariga schrubland on soil organich carbon storage under Mediterranen climatic of Sicily
2009
Soil organic carbon (SOC) pool is the largest among the terrestrial pool and it plays a key role to mitigate climate change. The restoration of SOC pool represents a potential sink for atmospheric CO2. Land use is one of the most important factors controlling organic carbon content. The main land uses throughout the Mediterranean are croplands (olive, wheat and vineyards) and scrublands. The land abandonment or the reclamation of land is changing the cover of scrubland and cropland. This will change the carbon cycle. The aim of this work is determining the direction and magnitude of soil organic change associated with land use change under Mediterranean Climatic Conditions. Using both histo…
Percorsi virtuosi di uso del territorio. Il caso studio della città di Agrigento
2020
The historical period we are living leads to a serious reflection on future programmatic lines of planning. The use of classical planning is insufficient with respect to the needs of citizens. It is necessary to undertake really effective paths, to finalize the limited economic resources towards shared and useful projects - to know how to listen to the desiree of citizens, especially those related to places. Our attention is turned to Agrigento city, where the almost twenty-year recourse to some attempts at participatory planning, even in strategic planning, is as appreciable as it is objectively sterile, inadequate to address issues of utmost importance. The survey we propose returns the r…

Modelling urban networks at mega-regional scale: Are increasingly complex urban systems sustainable?
2015
Are the dynamics of mega-regions sustainable or not? We explore the hypothesis that increasing complexity in mega-regions implies less demands on resources needed to generate organized information, thereby making the systems more efficient and stable. This article aims to identify structural indicators for measuring urban networks at the mega-regional scale. We use night-time light data from the broad band near-visible infrared channel of the DMSP-OLS to monitor the dynamics of urbanization. We study the urban networks as graphs, where nodes are cities, and the main road and railway infrastructures represent the edges. We propose four indicators for measuring the complexity, polycentricity,…
