Agritourism and local development: A methodology for assessing the role of public contributions in the creation of competitive advantage
2018
Abstract Agriculture has been an economic mainstay of countries throughout history. Recently, its importance and essential role in local and regional growth and development have also received due acknowledgment. However, agritourism entrepreneurs often lack the necessary means, when relying only on their own funds alone. For these reasons, targeted aid measures are provided at the regional, national and European levels, provided they fulfill specified subjective and objective eligibility criteria. This investigation aims at understanding the rationale, if any, according to which the Public Administration allots such contributions. To this end, a two-tiered analysis was conducted on the data…
Cooperation in Rural Areas as a Local System Development Opportunity
2017
The development of rural areas requires the adoption of technology innovation and market approach strategies without departing from the specific features of local production systems, such as agricultural practices and the wealth of knowledge of operators. It is even better the exploitation of these resources to characterize the competitive positioning of territorial systems. In this framework, the cooperative Rinascita, which works in an internal rural area of Sicily region (Southern Italy), represents an attempt to maintain agricultural activities, traditions and rural culture as well as to promote and contribute to the development of the area by giving value to and promoting, a typical lo…
Local Equalization and Wide Areas Land Planning in Syracuse
2016
Abstract The implementation process of the Syracuse's Master Plan is characterized by the widespread use of “urban negotiation”. The Municipality has drawn up a protocol aimed at obtaining areas for facilities and public infrastructure in different areas basing on the rule of the transfer of a portion of land in return for the building permission for the remaining part. Since these areas are variously characterized, the negotiation process may not be fair to Municipality or convenient to land owners. Basing on an equalization pattern, this study provides, for each area, the indexes of fairness and convenience, and, more specifically, the difference between the market value of the areas achi…
The Complexity of Value and the Evaluation of Complexity: Social Use Value and Multi-criteria Analysis
2018
The “challenge of complexity” is one of the many points of convergence between the Encyclical Laudato si’ and the evolution of post-modern scientific thought. This study aims to analyze how complexity represents the essential element of the profound renewal in the scientific paradigm of the discipline of evaluation, particularly in regard to the theory of value, the categories of value, and the instruments of multi-criteria evaluation. Some contemporary theories of value propose, in fact, a complex source of value, such as surpluses of energy and of information (Ecological Economics) or as the creative and synergistic combination of three surpluses, namely energetic and non-entropic, geneal…
The Wine Influencers: Exploring a New Communication Model of Open Innovation for Wine Producers—A Netnographic, Factor and AGIL Analysis
2020
Wine Influencers (WIs) represent a new type of independent third party endorsers that are progressively establishing themselves within social networks. This study analyzes the characteristics of the activity of WIs and the communication model used via Instagram. Netnographic Analysis, Factor Analysis and AGIL methods were applied. The results show five Key-findings within specific relationships established during discussions: advice from Wine Influencers and generalized reciprocity in relationships
L’Analytic Network Process nei processi di trasformazione urbana. Un caso studio a Palermo come occasione per alcune considerazioni teorico-applicati…
2015
Le valutazioni multidimensionali costituiscono un valido strumento a supporto del processo decisionale in risposta a quesiti di tipo diverso (problem solving, ranking, sorting, designing). In particolare, quando i quesiti sono riferiti alle trasformazioni urbane e territoriali, le valutazioni multidimensionali: sono in grado di rappresentare la complessità degli elementi coinvolti a diversi livelli (ad es. ambientale, economico, finanziario, culturale e sociale); facilitano l’esplicitazione dei nodi di conflittualità o di convergenza della pluralità di soggetti portatori di differenti sistemi di valori, di obiettivi e di conoscenze tecniche; rendono trasparenti e ripercorribili tutte le fas…

Postmoderni olemisen mieli : tutkielma Gianni Vattimon näkemyksestä taiteen kuoleman kokemisen merkityksestä postmodernissa
2010
Tutkielma Gianni Vattimon näkemyksestä taiteen kuoleman kokemisen merkityksestä postmodernissa Heidi Meltovuo Filosofia Pro gradu-tutkielma Yhteiskuntatieteiden ja filosofian laitos Jyväskylän yliopisto Leena Kakkori Jussi Kotkavirta Kevät 2010 71 sivua Tutkielmani tehtävänä on esitellä Gianni Vattimon teoria taiteen kuoleman kolmen vaiheen leikistä, joka on Vattimon mukaan mahdollisuus taiteen olemassaololle postmodernina aikana. Taiteen kuolemassa taide levittäytyy perinteisten taidehierarkioiden ulkopuolelle, ja taiteen kategoria laajentuu näin ollen uuteen kontekstiin. Tarkastelen myös Vattimon taidefilosofian taustalla vaikuttaneiden filosofien kuten Walter Benjaminin, Friedrich Nietzs…
