Healthcare access of immigrants: An integrated ecological framework
2019
Access to healthcare impacts in health, and for its importance it has been conceptualized by different theoretical models. Theories tackling social barriers have been established too. Nevertheless, a lack of theorization about healthcare access of immigrants exists, and there is no theory able to integrate all the scientific literature on this and its impact on the health of immigrants. In order to study the factors relating to the access of immigrants and to guide the development and evaluation of public health interventions, an integrative approach is needed. In this regard, from an ecological perspective healthcare access of immigrants would be shaped by interrelated factors in different…
Il silenzio della città e l’esercizio dell’ascolto

È un saggio che si articola tra didattica e ricerca architettonica sul tema del progetto di abitazioni per stranieri nel centro di Palermo elaborato nei Laboratori di progettazione di Pasquale Culotta.
La rapidità dell’arte e la lentezza dell’architettura odyssey, no name e la città interetnica
2019
The essay relates research and teaching activities about the interethnic city carried out by Pasquale Culotta between the end of the 90’s and the beginning of 2000’s at the Faculty of Architecture in Palermo. This is the starting point of a study about the new condition of the migration in Italy and especially in Sicily where the phenomenon had a rearing in 2013. The new state of the migration pushed the research towards two directions: 1 - a long-term response related with a constant urbanization; 2 - another caused by an urgent nature that often characterizes landings. On these two topics the university education can be implemented. Two recent exhibitions can be useful to lead this goal: …
Mutamenti spaziali come effetto di mutazioni sociali? Questioni aperte sui ussi migratori nei territori dell’agricoltura di qualità in Sicilia
2018
The official statistics on the movements of the immigrant population of the last 20 years in Sicily show a significant increase in foreign presences. Movements go beyond the seasonal dimension and are concentrated in non-urban areas with a greater agricultural vocation, where there are also high levels of economic innovation (Trapani and Ragusa). It is often a phenomenon with paradoxical outlines, considering that the economic results of quality agriculture are counterbalanced by the conditions in which immigrants live and work, being denied the right to the city and citizenship. Therefore, there is a significant interde- pendence between agricultural development and foreign presences that …
The urban rent in the multicultural city: retail shops, migrants and urban decline in the historic centre of Palermo
2020
La diffusione di nuove modalità di vendita al dettaglio, come gli shopping mall, i megastore e l’e-commerce, hanno modificato i tradizionali modelli localizzativi di immobili a destinazione commerciale, incidendo anche sulle connotazioni del tessuto urbano ed extraurbano e sulla distribuzione spaziale della rendita. Anche le zone centrali delle città hanno subito trasformazioni significative, che a volte si traducono in un vero e proprio declino, soprattutto in presenza di sistemi economici locali deboli e di mercati immobiliari in recessione. Una quota rilevante di immobili a destinazione commerciale può rimanere a lungo non utilizzata per eccesso di offerta sulla domanda, poiché a fronte …
In the Name of Antigone: Migrants and Human Rights in Contemporary Urban Spaces
2022
Starting from the metaphor of the ethical conflict between dignity and rights in Antigone, the article reflects on the theme of human dignity for a critique of global inequalities. These theoretical assumptions are the basis for reflecting on the theme of contemporary international mobility of populations, which generates significant effects on the production of borders and the right to the city, highlighting new issues of social and spatial justice. In particular, with respect to the “newcomers”, claiming the “right to the city”, after claiming the “right to mobility”, very often coincides with the claim and protection of human rights, in order to build “spaces for survival”. On the one ha…
Informal migrant settlements between irregular condition and right to the city. New challenges for planning in cross-border Euro-Mediterranean contex…
2022
Analysing the spatial dimension of the phenomenon, which highlights the inadequacy and insufficiency of reception places, the increase in phenomena of eviction of irregular occupations, as well as the post-COVID exclusion and marginalization effects whose territorial scope we can currently only speculate, with the significant increase in the phenomenon of informal settlements in suburban urban settings. In this sense, the recent results of surveys conducted in Italy in the field of planning on the territorial distribution of the foreign population in suburban contexts show how the traditional focus on urban contexts has left uncovered a relevant field of investigation. Therefore, the resear…
Multicultural Palermo between gentrification and real estate market crisis in the historical centre
2022
Multiculturalism is a characteristic of the post industrial city which will challenge planning through new paradigms, in fact the increasing of transnational flow of migrants reshapes the physical urban space and the socio-cultural relations, expressing new housing needs often neglected by planning and public policies. The essay discusses the experimental analysis conducted in an area of the historical centre of Palermo, where there is a high concentration of migrants in order to assess their potential involvement in the processes of residential gentrification, within the controversial panorama of urban regeneration policies, economic crisis and real estate market. The demographic dynamic, …
The COVID-19 Crisis, Human Rights and Unfair Models of Production: The Case of Migrant Workers in the Agri-food Sector in European Countries
2022
Since its outbreak, the COVID-19 crisis has sharply exacerbated the structural inequalities that characterize the socioeconomic systems of European Union (EU) countries, disproportionately impacting people most affected by discrimination and social exclusion. The Covid-19 crisis has also brought under the spotlight the significant role of migrant workers in core sectors – such as the agri-food sector – disclosing how they are fundamental in the economic and societal functioning of EU countries. At the same time, the pandemic has sharply disclosed the limits of long supply chains (in terms of price distortion, unfair competition and distribution dynamics), as well as the conditions of exploi…
Difetto del nesso causale e manifesta insussistenza del fatto nel licenziamento per giustificato motivo oggettivo
2021
Con la sentenza n. 16253/2020 la Suprema Corte ha affermato che l’assenza di nesso causale tra la cessazione di un appalto e il licenziamento del lavoratore integra un’ipotesi di manifesta insussistenza del fatto posto alla base del licenziamento - con conseguente applicabilità della tutela reintegratoria attenuta di cui all’art. 18, comma 5, della legge n. 300/1970 - non riconducibile, pertanto, agli altri casi in cui il giudice dichiara risolto il rapporto concedendo la sola tutela indennitaria forte (da dodici a ventiquattro mensilità).
