Ground instability in the old town of Agrigento (Italy) depicted by on-site investigations and Persistent Scatterers data

2012

We combine on-site investigations with the interpretation of satellite Persistent Scatterers (PS) to analyse ground instability in the historic town of Agrigento, Italy. Geological and geomorphologic surveys, together with geostructural and kinematic analyses, depict the deformational patterns of the northwestern sector of the town, previously documented by extensive literature available for the neighbouring Valley of the Temples. The geological and geomorphologic maps are reconstructed by combining bibliographic studies, field surveys and aerial stereo-interpretation. ERS-1/2 PS data reveal deformation velocities up to 18–20 mm yr<sup>−1</sup> in 1992–2000 over the Addolorata l…

De la ciudad industrial a la ciudad lúdica. Algunas reflexiones en torno a Valencia, Palermo y Génova (1960-2000)

2014

Los estudios comparativos son una herramienta importante para entender la evolucion plural de los espacios urbanos en la Europa contemporanea. En el siguiente articulo se presenta un estudio comparado de tres realidades urbanas que, con contextos historicos diferentes, sufrieron una modificacion de su espacio urbano a partir de la morfologia industrial para dar lugar a una ciudad orientada eminentemente a lo ludico. Esta realidad de transformacion, comun en el traspaso hacia una economia postindustrial, fue impulsada a raiz del aprovechamiento de un gran evento. Por tanto, las preguntas centrales del trabajo seran responder cuando y como Palermo, Valencia y Genova supieron aprovechar esta o…

RELEVANCE OF INDICATORS OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH IN DIFFERENT SAMPLES OF ADOLESCENCE

2021

The aim of this research was to determine whether there are statistically relevant differences in Michael J. Furlong's concept of socio-emotional health with meta construct Covitality (SEV factor) between teenage and youth selections, gender, and nationalities in different schools. The participants of the research were 593 respondents from Latvia, aged 11-19 years. Out of the total selection of participants (N=593) there were 318 teens (M=13.01, SD=.84), of them 151 boys and 167 girls; the other group of 274 young people (M=15.85, SD = 1.02), consisted of 132 males and 142 females. To measure the positive aspects of the mental health, A Socio-emotional Health Survey was used (Social Emotion…

Il contributo affronta il tema della migrazione a New York, storicizzando il fenomeno a partire dal XIX Secolo. In particolare viene analizzata la relazione tra Little Italy e Chinatown, non in termini unicamente morfologici, ma osservando le dinamiche economiche relative ai due gruppi etnici e la differente integrazione nella vita socio economica, a livello del sistema urbano.

Social features, Spatial features, Time features: An urban archaeological data model

2007

http://proceedings.caaconference.org/files/2007/64_Rodier_Saligny_CAA2007.pdf; International audience; The use of GIS to study the spatial evolution of pre-industrial cities over the "longue durée" requires rigorous formalisation of heterogeneous data from different sources into robust entities. An initial model using the HBDS (Hypergraph Based Data Structure) method enabled us to distinguish social and spatial features. In this paper, we develop a specific model for the temporal dimension. The definition of urban objects using social, spatial and temporal features enhances the study of urban dynamics and of change over the "longue durée".

In balia del mare e delle onde. Architetture, culture e territori

2014

Thanks to some autobiographical memories, Andrea Sciascia thinks back to the places and themes explored in the laboratories of architectural and urban design by Giuseppe Di Benedetto, Adriana Sarro and Gianfranco Tuzzolino. The short holiday periods spent when he was a child in Lampedusa and the teaching methology and the research about multiethnic town, carried out with Pasquale Culotta, constitute a system of reference thanks to which Sciascia manages to frame the work of the three teachers of Palermo according to traditional studies at the Faculty of Architecture of Palermo. The essay establishes a network of relationships between some of the latest results of the teaching of architectur…

“The (anti-)establishment blues”: la doppia geografia di Sixto Rodriguez tra marginalità e sovversione

2016

The life and career of Sixto Rodríguez, the American folk-singer born in Detroit in 1942, weave together two different places. On the one hand, we find Detroit where at the turn of the Sixties Rodríguez recorded two albums without success. On the other, there is Cape Town where unknown to Rodríguez his music became very influential and its subversive contents found an unexpected space of resonance. This paper aims at investigating the double geography emerging from this astonishing musical biography. The analysis will focus on the complex relationship between musical practices and spatial formations, examining how power geometries shape and carve the field of their mutual production. If the…

Les cités des Eduens et de Chalon durant l'Antiquité tardive (v. 260-530 env.). Contribution à l'étude de l'Antiquité tardive en Gaule centrale.

2005

This research deals with the evolution of two of the main ciuitates of the Lugdunensis prima province. It explores their territorial organisation, social and economic structures between the emergence of the Gallic Empire (260 AD) and the end of the kingdom of the Burgundians (530 AD).After tackling the methodological, archeological and historical issues raised by the study of the two ciuitates, it focuses on the city of Autun, on its small neighbouring towns (including Chalon), rural areas and religious practices. The last part is a synthesis of the data, which is set in a historical and chronological framework. This part aims at highlighting the different stages of social developments in t…
