A Place-Based Approach in EU Regional Development and Its Application in Latvia
2014
Abstract The EU’s regional development policy is gradually moving from the redaction of regional disparities towards regional development growth. The role and involvement of regional and local authorities in regional development policy is increasing. Global changes and challenges call for a growing need to develop more efficient regional development policy instruments that would result in growth and increased quality> of life. Place-based approach is a strategic approach aimed at the development of territorial resources. The aim of this research is to evaluate the role of place-based approach in regional development, to identify and assess the main elements and opportunities brought …
Rewilding Language Education: Emergent Assemblages and Entangled Actions
2021
Integrating concepts and techniques from ethnomethodology and sociomaterialism, this article investigates the observable material processes involving human action and place‐based contexts of language use enabled by locative media. The focal pedagogical intervention utilized mobile augmented reality (AR) activities, the development of which was inspired by research on learning ‘in the wild.’ Applying the principle of reverse engineering, we introduce a pedagogical approach termed ‘rewilding’ for its emphasis on designing supportive conditions for goal‐directed interaction outside of classrooms. Three instances of AR materials use are presented from an out‐of‐class activity associated with un…
Place-based. Sviluppo locale e programmazione 2014-2020
2016
L’Unione Europea nel 2013 ha approvato un nuovo apparato regolamentare che inserisce, nell’attuazione degli obiettivi dei Trattati in materia di coesione socio-economica e territoriale, la metodologia di sviluppo place-based, applicata in Italia dal Programma di Iniziativa Comunitaria Leader (Patti Territoriali). Per gli attori dello sviluppo locale in Italia si tratta di un passo indietro, in quanto diverso è l’approccio sin qui sperimentato. Sviluppo locale o sviluppo place-based: un concetto che è stato spesso al centro del dibattito politico in Italia negli ultimi venti anni, oggi anche nell'Unione Europea, e che riveste un ruolo storico di riferimento rispetto al tema affrontato nel vo…
Transizioni in periodi di incertezza. L’innovazione delle politiche regionali di governance per lo sviluppo auto sostenibile
2020
The basis of this contribution are a) the European Commission's regional innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3), b) the regional policies to combat the risk of decline and c) the governance model of Transition Management. Today the challenge consists in the validation of RIS3 even in the conditions of uncertainty exacerbated, for example, by the recent experience of COVID 19 as a global pandemic, trigger of the planetary economic and social decline. The guidance of the territorial transformations induced by RIS3 can be achieved with GIS technologies which, in turn, can constitute a single platform of the competent regional administration for urban and landscape planning. This…
Between institutions and agency : How tensions shape the trajectory of governance
2020
The Europe 2020 strategy promoted the concept of smart specialization as the future for regional development strategies in Europe. The aim was to improve governance practices within European countries on sub-national levels. Nevertheless, not all regions in the European Union produced smart-specialization strategies within the year 2020. The failure to produce a strategy does not mean that actions were not taken. It is instead that actions were taken within different contexts that greatly affected how the implementation process played out. As such, smart specialization has presented opportunities to study the meaning of place. How the policy concept has been translated into action through e…
What is socio-ecological research delivering? A literature survey across 25 international LTSER platforms
2018
[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]QUASARE [ADD1_IRSTEA]Systèmes aquatiques soumis à des pressions multiples; International audience; With an overarching goal of addressing global and regional sustainability challenges, Long Term Socio-Ecological Research Platforms (LTSER) aim to conduct place-based research, to collect and synthesize both environmental and socio-economic data, and to involve a broader stakeholder pool to set the research agenda. To date there have been few studies examining the output from LTSER platforms. In this study we enquire if the socio-ecological research from 25 self-selected LTSER platforms of the International Long-Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network has …
Strategic agency and institutional change
2017
Strategic agency and institutional change: investigating the role of universities in regional innovation systems (RISs). Regional Studies. Past analyses rooted in the thick description of regions successful in constructing regional innovation systems have given way to analyses more focused on the intentionality in these processes, and how actors in regions with their own wider networks can shape these high-level changes in regional fortunes. As part of this, place-based leadership has emerged as a promising concept to restore both agency and territory to these discussions, but it remains under-theorized in key areas. This paper contributes to these debates by arguing that there remains a re…
PROMOTING INCLUSION BY BRINGING EDUCATION OUT-DOORS: OUTCOMES OF EXPLORATORY RESEARCH WITH TEACHERS
2023
Signing the Agenda 2030 in 2015, 193 Member Countries of the United Nation unequivocally declared the intention to pursue their efforts to actively restructure a sustainable world. Inter alia, through Goal 4, the Agenda links the achievement of sustainable and democratic development to the theme of inclusion, which has been animating both the pedagogical and political international debate for more than two decades. What stands out is the need to address the education to all, no one excluded, in order to foster the human empowerment at a personal, community and social level. That indistinguishably means to give all students a fair opportunity to flourish and fully realize their potential, in…
Scuola inclusiva e Outdoor Education. Un’indagine esplorativa nel primo ciclo di istruzione
2022
Le tematiche dell’inclusione e dello sviluppo sostenibile rappresentano oggi, senza dubbio, uno dei terreni di dibattito fondamentali per una riflessione pedagogica, mossa verso la promozione di forme autentiche di convivenza democratica e di cittadinanza globale nell’ottica della costruzione di un’identità plurale e di un armonioso sviluppo umano. L’educazione inclusiva assume allora i connotati di un’educazione democratica i cui valori fondamentali dell’ambiente e dei contesti, della comunità e della partecipazione sono rivolti a tutti. Ma, se da un lato la letteratura nazionale ed internazionale ha fornito cospicue evidenze scientifiche a sostegno di come la relazione diretta con la natu…
Place-based attributes and spatial expenditure behavior in tourism
2017
In recent discussions on local sustainable development, notions like “local for local” and “home bias” have often played a role. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether preferences for specific place-based attributes might constrain or support tourism participation and tourism destination choice of distinct socioeconomic groups of visitors. To test this proposition, a large data set from the Italian Households Budget Survey for the period 1997–2007 has been used and, by means of the double-hurdle model, tourism participation and expenditure are modeled over the life-cycle of tourists. These data are next merged with location-specific attributes including natural amenities and in…
