Measuring the perceived value of rural tourism: a field survey in the western Sicilian agritourism sector
2016
Rural tourism constitutes a valuable tool for the sustainable development of many rural areas. This paper examines the concept of perceived value in rural tourism. A quantitative field survey was carried out in some main Western Sicilian holiday farms (agritourisms) during the Spring 2014. A theoretical model of the tourists’ perceived value in this specific context was developed and validated, using a 22-item scale. Using Partial Least Squares Path Modelling a theoretical structural model of the multidimensional structure of the RTPV was tested, assessing intensity and direction of the causal relationships among RTPV and its dimensions. Five dimensions were identified as forming the constr…
Estimation of key biophysical parameters related to crop stress through new remote sensors and multi-crop in situ data
2020
El monitoreo de los cultivos a lo largo de toda la etapa de crecimiento es esencial para detectar anomalías y optimizar los costes y recursos del sector agrícola. Las variables biofísicas de la vegetación, principalmente el contenido en agua, el índice de área foliar o la clorofila, están consideradas indicadores importantes de la salud, crecimiento y productividad de la vegetación. Además, estos parámetros biofísicos no solo son importantes por proporcionar información por sí mismos del estado fisiológico de la vegetación, también porque son parámetros clave de entrada en importantes modelos agronómicos. La medida directa de estos parámetros biofísicos sobre el terreno requiere elevados re…
Odyseja brzeskich Kresowian. Próba rejestracji i opisania zjawiska
2020
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie sylwetek współczesnych mieszkańców Ziemi Brzeskiej, którzy mają korzenie kresowe. Artykuł powstał w oparciu o p onad 35-letnie zbieranie dokumentów i relacji od dużej liczby polskich ekspatriantów z ziem wschodnich dawnej Rzeczypospolitej, które Polska utraciła w wyniku decyzji międzynarodowych konferencji w Jałcie i Poczdamie w 1945 r. Autor pokazuje proces wielkiego przesiedlenia ludności polskiej oraz niemieckiej na tle wielkiej wędrówki ludów, jaka miała miejsce w Europie po II wojnie światowej i objęła około 20 milionów osób. Artykuł jest oparty na szerokiej literaturze przedmiotu, licznych artykułach biograficznych z powojennej prasy śląskiej oraz re…
Rimettere in valore gli spazi pubblici del territorio agrigentino
2015
The contemporary city poses a question about regeneration which increasingly finds its answer within the open spaces, where values and potential are recognized not only in ecological and environmental terms but also in terms of agricultural production. However these areas may have consequences on global sustainability and local urban-welfare, provoking identification processes with the places and regenerating the local identities as the only guarantee of survival in a harmonic territory. The research hypothesis is that the coastal areas and peri-urban spaces could contribute substantially to society and sustainable urban development as well as having an impact on social, physical, environme…
The Peripheri-City of the Inner Areas: Local Development in the Sicani Territory
2018
The inner peripheries are now subject to territorial and social metamorphosis in the sense that they are returning to be attractive places for younger generations through the rediscovery of the potential that they offer in terms of esources and propensity to change. Characterised by an ev-ergrowing number of bottom-up innovation experiences of both traditional crafts and agricultural production, and with abandoned sites in social and cultural places having been recovered, thus allowing the rediscovery the sense of sharing and conviviality typical of these places in the past to be rediscovered, these sites presently need to be discussed, described, and thought of in a new way. The experience…

Surfactant-Mediated Morphology and Photocatalytic Activity of α‑Ag2WO4 Material
2018
In the present work, the morphology (hexagonal rod-like vs cuboid-like) of an α-Ag2WO4 solid-state material is manipulated by a simple controlled-precipitation method, with and without the presence of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively, over short reaction times. Characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction analysis, Rietveld refinement analysis, Fourier-transform (FT) infrared spectroscopy, FT Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, selected area electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and photoluminescence emission…

De participació local. Una proposta metodològica desde la investigació-acció-participativa
2018
Citizen participation is an increasingly prevalent term in our society. In the process of deployment in the municipal area, progressively local corporations make efforts to innovate practices and develop experiences of citizen participation in defining policies and public affairs, and allocating budgets. While innovation has been advanced with regard to the tools and mechanisms to be used to promote participation, many of the initiatives and experiences have focused more on the implementation of the vote than in the different social processes inherent in the participation. Moreover, we are faced with the absence of a methodological guide that allows approaching a project or strategic plan o…
