Las políticas culturales en el sur de Europa tras la crisis global [Recurso electrónico] : su impacto en la participación cultural = Cultural policie…
2020
El último tercio del siglo XX supuso el inicio de un proceso de convergencia en la formulación y en la implementación de las políticas culturales de los países del sur de Europa con respecto al norte. Sin embargo, la crisis global ha conllevado un retroceso en los indicadores de participación cultural, rompiéndose la tendencia de la europeización de esta política pública. Analizamos desde un enfoque comparado, como la densidad institucional de la educación artística no formal, el sistema formal educativo y el tipo de gobernanza de los equipamientos culturales, determinan, además de los recortes públicos en la cultura, la mayor caída de la participación cultural en el modelo de política cult…

Loneliness in sports active and non-active school-age children: Can sport protect children against loneliness?
2023
IntroductionThis study aims to examine can sport protect children against loneliness and, if yes, whether this relationship depends on gender and/or sports-related variables.MethodsThe sample includes 762 10-year-old children (414 boys).

Unlike the level of sports participation, the duration of sports parti…

Social impacts of biodiversity offsetting: A review
2022
Biodiversity offsetting is the widely studied last step of the mitigation hierarchy. Despite numerous studies and the methodological development completed for biodiversity calculations, the human aspect remains unsolved. Biodiversity conservation is typically governed at national or state levels, but the harm caused to biodiversity as well as people occurs locally. In biodiversity offsetting, biodiversity values can be relocated far from the original area, but relocating the values people hold regarding their nearby nature may not be possible. Acknowledging the local people's hopes and values may further complicate biodiversity offsetting, therefore it emphasises even more the need to avoid…
Visions and Forms of Democratic Participation in Italian Universities after 1968
2022
The essay focuses on the ideological aspects and organizational dynamics underlying the 1968 protests in Italian universities. It analyses the inter-generational confrontation within the parties and in the wider public sphere in order to explain the new assembly-based organization in the Italian university. Young people in many countries demanded new spaces for a more direct political action; in Italy this would foster a change in the university representatives and parliamentary bodies which had so far mediated student participation. The UNURI (Italian University’s National Representative Union), founded in 1948, would suffer a crisis in 1968 precisely on the thrust of requests from youth i…

The role of social networking services in eParticipation
2009
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5694, 46-55. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03781-8_5 A serious problem in eParticipation projects is citizen engagement – citizens do not necessarily become more willing to participate simply because net-services are provided for them. Most forms of eParticipation in democratic contexts are, however, dependent on citizen engagement, interaction and social networking because democratic systems favour the interests of larger groups of citizens – the more voices behind a political proposition, the greater its chances of success. In this context of challenges the study of s…
Collective participation for the sustainable redevelopment of degraded environments and urban public space
2022
The use of participatory processes as useful tools for the regeneration of the built environment is urgently topical, also in view of the inclusive forms of decision-making that have been introduced for years by ministerial and European standards. The research is part of a well-structured cultural and regulatory context characterised by new and interesting experiments in the field. Studying the participatory process as a useful strategy for conflict management and for the construction of new regenerative models in fact also implies a clarification of "what is meant by participation and the participatory project. At the same time, as widely testified to by the production of manuals in recent…
