Residential satisfaction and spatial configurations in a periurban area
2011
Since the 1960s, French cities are concerned with an urban sprawl process. This urban sprawl leads to the emergence of a particular space located at the interface between the city and the countryside: the periurban. The social, morphological or the spatial practices of its inhabitants give the suburban a particular singularity and specificity. It is a space of contradiction that attracts both because of the "natural" living environment that it provides to households, but also because of its proximity to the city and the opportunities related to accessibility to various urban amenities.To understand more precisely this enthusiasm for periurban areas, this thesis proposes to explore the indiv…
Accessible film festivals: a pilot study
2020
This work provides an overview of the state of accessibility at film festivals all over the world, identifies its selected audiences and also encourages innovative solutions in relation to linguistic and technical issues emerged during the processes of subtitling. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in many film festivals all over the world being either cancelled, postponed or moved to online platforms. What has arisen is the question whether and to what extent people with sensorial disabilities, in particular deaf and hard-of-hearing and blind and visually impaired people, have been left behind or have been part of projects of inclusion. The accessibility of forms of…

Towards a Sustainable Use of Architectural Heritage: How to Assess Accessibility and the User’s Role
2022
Scientific communities and institutional bodies are supporting many shared efforts towards improving accessibility to architectural heritage, in the awareness that it provides the basis for inclusion and enhancement. Accessibility is related to the wider tendency toward a conscious and sustainable use of the architectural heritage, considered as a multifaceted tool for its conservation. This has also highlighted the user’s role, which is paramount in order to reach and increase sustainable processes in the field of architectural heritage, as well as in all the technological processes. The user should be active in his/her relationships with the built heritage, in a multi-sensorial way and in…
40 years of time geography: from the conceptual framework to the GI Science contributions
2011
International audience; Social scientists studying the effects of space on human behavior usually consider the time dimension as an external factor. Activities are analyzed in an aggregate sense such that the process of individual decision-making is depicted as the single case of "the average individual." In order to link efficiently space and time dimensions, Torsten Hägerstrand defined in 1970's the concept of Time Geography and thereby founded the school of Swedish geography. His conceptual framework was destined to change the course of history in the social sciences. After 40 years, this success has transcended scientific boundaries. In this paper, we propose to review the evolution of …
Simplifying instructional texts in French and German Easy Language – Comparaison of Easy Language rules and analysis of their limits
2022
Contexte: Dans le contexte du développement d’une société plus inclusive, l’étude de la simplification du langage constitue un réel enjeu, aussi en termes scientifiques. Cette simplification a en effet pour ambition de profiter à différents types de publics, allant de l’éducation des élèves à l’accès à l’information pour des personnes présentant un handicap, des personnes vieillissantes, mais également pour des personnes allophones arrivant dans un pays donné. A l’échelle européenne, l'association Inclusion Europe, à travers son projet Easy-to-Read, a ainsi établi une liste de principes visant à standardiser la rédaction dans des variantes adaptées des langues nationales. Question de recher…

Progetto di restauro, per la fruizione e la valorizzazione dell’Oratorio del Santissimo Rosario in San Domenico
2021
Il saggio illustra l’iter metodologico utilizzato per l’analisi dello stato di conservazione e delle problematiche di accessibilità presenti nell’Oratorio del Santissimo Rosario in San Domenico di Palermo, edificata nel sec. XVII, e caratterizzato da notevoli opere d’arte e ricco delle decorazioni realizzate, con stucco, da Giacomo Serpotta nel sec. XVIII. Inoltre nel saggio si presenta una proposta di restauro e di accessibilità allo stesso oratorio che è particolarmente difficile in quanto l’accesso è separato dalla strada da un dislivello di 1,30 metri. La ricerca è stata condotta all’interno del Laboratorio di restauro e Teoria e storia del restauro e ha visto protagonisti le allievi e …

2021
Il saggio presenta l’iter metodologico utilizzato per l’analisi dello stato di conservazione e delle problematiche di accessibilità presenti nella chiesa di San Sebastiano di Palermo, edificata alla fine del sec. XV. Inoltre nel saggio si mostra una proposta di restauro e di accessibilità alla stessa chiesa che nel passato aveva un sagrato eliminato dopo la metà del Novecento (e i danni subiti dai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale) per raccordare i livelli della strada. La ricerca è stata condotta all’interno del Laboratorio di restauro e Teoria e storia del restauro e ha visto protagonisti le allievi e gli allievi del corso LM4 in Architettura del Dipartimento di Palermo. La solu…
