O Śląsku i badaniach śląskoznawczych raz jeszcze
2019
The present workoffers a synthetic review of the state of studies on a broadly-understood culture of Silesia and the language of this region. The author discusses the achievements of folklorists, experts in culture studies and linguists, especially those based in Opole Region and connected with the University of Opole and the State Scientific Institute – the Silesian Institute. Attention is paid to the continuing need for carrying out Silesian studies and the necessity of searching for new methodological solutions. The text also foreruns the appearance of a series of articles included in this monograph, which are devoted to the cultural heritage of Silesia – shownfrom different perspectives…
From Planning to Management of Cultural Heritage Sites: Controversies and Conflicts Between Unesco WHL Management Plans and Local Spatial Planning in…
2014
The paper investigates the relationship between the preservation of cultural heritage and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites, with special reference to the relation be- tween Management Plans and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through a case study related to South-Eastern Sicilian UNESCO sites (in particular Syracuse). The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning regimes - which mainly refer to a performative model - in a (still) very conformative planning sys- tem. The paper will show…
Ingegneri militari nella Sicilia degli Asburgo: formazione, competenze e carriera di una figura professionale tra Cinque e Seicento
2015
During the Sixteenth century and the first half of the following one, Sicily played a key role in the strategy of defense of the Spanish Empire from the looming Turkish threat, being an island considered as a baluarte against the Turks. Yet despite this absolute centrality in the military policy of the Spanish monarchy, till now historical research has preferred to provide broader spectrum interpretations at the expense of in-depth studies on individual technicians or overall pictures about the figure of the military engineer. We will present a synoptic view attesting the time period of activity covered by each military technician working for the kingdom of Sicily, within a wider study conc…
The recreational value of botanic garden events: A case study of the Zagara plant fair in Palermo, Italy
2022
Botanic gardens are defined by their mission to maintain living plant collections for scientific research, conservation, display and education. This mission represents the potential ecosystem services that botanic gardens aim to produce, with display and education specifically regarding recreational ecosystem services (RES). Visitors must directly experience botanic gardens to transform these potential RES into real benefits, yet the public may not be interested in studying plants during their leisure time. Thus, botanic gardens turn to events to attract visitors. The objective of this study is to estimate the RES benefits created by a botanic garden event and profile the visitors that it b…
Valoración patrimonial de los yacimientos del Mioceno inferior del Barranco de Campisano de la Cuenca de Ribesalbes-Alcora (Araia d'Alcora, Castelló,…
2019
En el presente trabajo se realiza una valoración patrimonial del conjunto de yacimientos del Mioceno inferior del barranco de Campisano (cuenca de Ribesalbes-Alcora). Los resultados obtenidos al calcular los parámetros según la metodología del Inventario Español de Lugares de Interés Geológico (IELIG) ponen de manifi esto el alto valor científi co y didáctico de la zona, así como un valor turístico y recreativo medio. El riesgo de degradación es medio, por lo que debería ser tenido en cuenta para la protección de los yacimientos a corto plazo. En consonancia con estos datos, se propone la consideración de los yacimientos como LIG (Lugar de Interés Geológico) y su inclusión en el IELIG. In t…
Working to the conservation and good use of the Devonian palaeontological heritage in Floresta, Boyacá (Colombia): a review of teaching case studies …
2019
The Floresta Massif, located in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, has a diverse and precious natural heritage. It is one of the areas that contains an exceptional palaeontological heritage of the Middle Devonian not only of Colombia, but also of South America. This heritage is represented by fossil specimens of marine fauna and terrestrial flora (correlated with North America and Europe) of the Floresta and Cuche Formations, respectively. Since 2004, actions made by several academic and research institutions, community and local government have introduced schoolchildren, teenagers and University students to art and science, and have promoted the conservation of palaeontological heritage a…
The paleontological and archaeological museum “Ildefonso Recio Valverde” (Totanés, Toledo). A new area for understanding our past
2019
The Palaeontological and Archaeological Museum “Ildefonso Recio Valverde” was recently opened in Totanes (Toledo). The material included in this museum mostly belonged to the personal collection of I. Recio, who donated it to this municipality to contribute to the dissemination of Palaeontology and Archaeology. Its creation, and the even more recent discovery of a Neolithic cromlech in its vicinity, provides this small village with great potential to become a centre for heritage tourism and scientific outreach. This paper presents the process of arranging the museum and cataloguing the paleontological collection, as well as outlining its value as a local museum.
GETTING A MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE ACROSS IN PALERMO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ARTISTIC HERITAGE IN AN AREA WITH A LOW RATE OF DEVELOPMENT
2000
It is not that our cultural heritage should be regarded as riches that may be turned to profit; it is that the decay into which many monuments and historic sites have fallen by making them part of society's wealth-generating structures would represent an opportunity for otherwise run-down areas to get back on their feet again. For that to happen, communication will be an indispensable tool, making our cultural wealth easily accessible to all and allowing it to be taken advantage of. Palermo has this problem. It has a marvellous cultural heritage but no global plan for keeping the outside world informed and bringing itself to the attention of potential visitors.
Valore storico, culturale e paesaggistico delle “muracche” nel Bosco Ficuzza
2018
Il vasto complesso forestale indicato come Bosco della Ficuzza ebbe origine quando Ferdinando IV di Borbone, costretto dagli avvenimenti tumultuosi del 1798 a fuggire da Napoli si trasferì in Sicilia. Essendo un grande appassionato di caccia, il sovrano fece costituire diverse tenute di caccia; così sorsero le tenute reali della Favorita a Palermo e quella di Ficuzza. Il Re migliorò la viabilità per giungere a Ficuzza, e poi quella interna al bosco. Nel 1802 diede l’incarico prima all’architetto palermitano Venazio Marvuglia e poi all’architetto Carlo Chenchi di edificare la Real Casina di Caccia, dove dimorò per lunghi anni, praticando, tra tutti i suoi preferiti svaghi, la caccia e la pes…
Paesaggio e relazioni contestuali per la persistenza della memoria: l’itinerario APER
2017
Le relazioni contestuali del patrimonio architettonico costituiscono un elemento imprescindibile per comprenderlo, conservarlo e valorizzarlo, adottando un approccio che accolga la complessità delle sue dimensioni. Nel paesaggio contemporaneo persistono le tracce del passato in forme diversamente percepibili, ma spesso ne manca la consapevolezza: restituire leggibilità al sistema di relazioni tra elementi puntuali e tessuto connettivo è uno degli obiettivi della valorizzazione del patrimonio che può essere perseguito tramite lo strumento degli itinerari tematici. Dopo un inquadramento generale del tema, il contributo illustra una proposta d’itinerario che ripercorre l’antica via Selinuntina…
