Designing for virtual mobility: Potentials and caveats
2019
This paper reflects on the joint pilot development and implementation of an international master level online course in Educational Design by three universities from different European countries. The pilot targeted curriculum internationalization and provision of international learning experiences to students with less mobility opportunities through online learning and use of technology. The key focus was on connecting students from different countries by collaborative learning and working on an authentic task in the professional domain of their study - educational media design - via a joint platform and digital media. In small international groups, students collaboratively developed mobile…
Exploring alternate traffic circulation effects in Île-de-France Region using aggregated mobile phone data: is it still useful to use mobile phone da…
2016
International audience; During the last decade, the usefulness of passive mobile phone data for the study of urban mobility have been investigated by different research communities. Mobile phone data have many advantages, among them, a passive collection process and the availability of mobility data during a continuing period.However, at the moment in European Union due to an increasing concern in privacy issues, these data are aggregated per hour and antenna. We assume that this kind of data, despite their aggregation level, have still a large utility in studying urban mobility.To answer this issue we use a 12 months mobile phone dataset from the french mobile operator Orange. We will expl…
Mobilities and the network of personal technologies: Refining the understanding of mobility structure
2017
Our ambition here is to refine the various typologies that compose the mobility structure. We aim to complement the work done by Urry and investigate the role played in the structure of mobility by what we call the “network of personal technologies”. Our new model consists of four different levels: macro-mobilities, micro-mobilities, media mobility and disembodied mobilities. By “macro-mobilities,” we refer to the actions which imply consistent physical displacement, such as travels, tours and commuting. By “micro-mobilities,” we mean small-scale displacements, including bodily movements and emotions. With moving media, we refer both to the new mobility provided by the smartphone to the tra…
Mobilities in Finland's Information Society Strategies from 1995 to 2010
2013
The article explores Finland’s national information society strategies and uses the Finnish case as an example to identify the limitation of the so-called ‘methodological nationalism’ and to explicate the advantages of the mobility paradigm. The research material consists of the Finnish national strategies published between 1995 and 2010. The article identifies two trends from the studied strategies; a further intermingling of physical movement of objects and virtual mobility, and a tendency to reduce corporeal mobility. The study also shows that most mobility-related challenges require international cooperation and multinational solutions, although state-centred thinking was prevalent in t…
Modélisation des choix d'itinéraires pédestres en milieu urbain. Approche géographique et paysagère
2006
Nowadays, on foot journeys create renewed interest as a complementary mode of transport. Indeed, local decision makers appear as willing to reduce the imbalance between different ways of transport within the cities. In the field of Geography the term ‘mobility' refers to the practice of exchanges and movements done by individuals or groups of individuals; this mobility is likely to reveal the characteristics of places and to contribute to their alteration. Among all the modes of transport, walking implies a privileged relation between persons and area they live in. As an element of the living environment used on a daily basis and eventually integrated by the prism of perception the visible …
La migrazione studentesca dalla Laurea Triennale alla Laurea Magistrale
2017
In the last years, the Italian universities have experienced significant changes that involve the students and the universities' governance. Students' enrolment has decreased significantly especially after the economic crisis of 2008, while the students' migration from the South to the Central and Northern regions of the country has increased. This phenomenon has created further inequalities within the country and a cultural and socio-economic loss for the South. Important changes have pushed the universities also compete to attract students. Therefore, among the others, student migration is an issue that needs full consideration. In this paper, the attention is devoted to the First Level g…
Mobility determination of lead isotopes in glass for retrospective radon measurements rad
2008
In retrospective radon measurements, the 22-y half life of 210Pb is used as an advantage. 210Pb is often considered to be relatively immobile in glass after alpha recoil implanted by 222Rn progenies. The diffusion of 210Pb could, however, lead to uncertain wrong retrospective radon exposure estimations if 210Pb is mobile and can escape from glass, or lost as a result of cleaning-induced surface modification. This diffusion was studied by a radiotracer technique, where 209Pb was used as a tracer in a glass matrix for which the elemental composition is known. Using the ion guide isotope separator on-line technique, the 209Pb atoms were implanted into the glass with an energy of 39 keV. The di…
Corpi, spazi, movimenti. Per una geografia critica della dislocazione
2016
Migrazioni, esili e diaspore rappresentano l’evento più significativo del nostro tempo. Il mondo di oggi è ininterrottamente attraversato da uomini e donne che con il peso dei loro corpi e la forza dei loro slanci sfidano non soltanto le frontiere degli stati ma anche i confini delle nostre teorie e immaginazioni. Se il mondo diventa un immenso luogo di passaggio, segnato e significato dai percorsi e dalle storie di chi lo attraversa, la Geografia Culturale è allora chiamata a riportare il movimento al centro del proprio discorso e ad aprirsi a nuove immaginazioni e a nuovi spazi. Intrecciando teorie postcoloniali e studi di genere, filosofie post-struttraliste e riflessione biopolitica,…

The Cultural and landscapes heritages: mobility, fruitioin and accessibility by all
2021
This study analyzes some international and national experiences already realized, or at an advanced stage of planning, which point to a new way of understanding the accessibility of places by users with specific needs, allowing the visitability so far denied. In particular we will deal with Agrigento.
