Understanding the impact of the EU-led urban initiatives on city-making: evidences from the case of Palermo (Italy)
Southern Italy – the “Italian Mezzogiorno” – is recognised as one of the most controversial case for regional development in the European Union (Leonardi, 2005; Piattoni and Polverari, 2016). Within this broad geographical unit, home of around one third of the country’s population, after thirty years from the reform of the structural funds that in 1988 reshaped Cohesion policy, large regions such as Campania and Sicily have never changed their status of ‘less developed regions’. Major urban areas within these regions, therefore, reflect – and to some extent are an expression of – all the development questions the EU’s regional policy has aimed to address from the beginning: infrastructures …
LA QUESTIONE DELLA VALUTAZIONE DELLE PERFORMANCE DI SVILUPPO LOCALE NEI GAL. UN APPROCCIO GEOGRAFICO
2019
This paper aims to advance a critical review of a LAG’s Local Development Strategy. This paper is methodologically based on the geographical qualitative approach; moving from the debate about the local development, the contribution tackles a case study and proposes an initial reflection on the possible approaches to the evaluation of the performance of LAG policies in the territory.
MARGINALITÀ E COVID 19: RIPENSARE IL TURISMO?
2020
The contribution aims to help open a reflection on the impact that the pandemic has had on the implementation of tourism enhancement strategies in marginal areas and at the same time raise a question relating to the next European programming. LEADER planning experiences are then taken into consideration and, in particular, the local development strategies prepared by the LAGs and their evaluation. In Sicily, the LAGs' SSLTPs, in the 2013-2020 programming period, in fact had a strategic hub in sustainable tourism. In this sense, Belìce represents the significant case study that is analyzed in order to advance, in an ongoing and fully open debate, a reflection that looks forward from continge…
Il bosco in aree interne. Risorsa locale o paesaggio ludico?
2021
Per ragionare sulle dendrolatrie - le pratiche, i miti e le figure dell’immaginario arboreo - in prospettiva geografica, questo contributo sviluppa una riflessione sul bosco: figura dell’immaginario arboreo, ma anche risorsa fondamentale per territori rurali e montani. Si analizza in che modo questa risorsa sia interpretata nel contesto delle aree interne: territori gravati da deficit di sviluppo e servizi per i quali dal 2013 la Strategia Nazionale per le Aree Interne (SNAI) ha avviato interventi per adeguare i servizi e promuovere progetti di sviluppo. Si indagano diverse interpretazioni del bosco: dall'approccio conservazionista, a quello della prospettiva territorialista che considera i…
Sviluppo rurale in Italia, una ricognizione sulle prospettive delle prossime pianificazioni
2021
La presente comunicazione intende rappresentare una ricognizione preliminare circa le carat- teristiche, previste dalla nuova Programmazione europea, delle sinergie programmatiche che si prefiggono di armonizzare, in chiave transcalare, gli obiettivi generali della PAC con le politiche di intervento nazionale e locali. Il fiorire di documenti metodologici e l’attivazione di un denso di- battito consentono allora di leggere criticamente e sintetizzare gli snodi salienti delle prospettive di sviluppo dei territori rurali in Italia. This communication intends to represent a preliminary survey of the characteristics, envisaged by the new European Programming, of the programmatic synergies that …
Compliance with the rules and partnerships engagement as determinants of good governance: an analysis of the experiences of local development in Italy
2012
Il contributo affronta il tema della governance di sistema, e declinare la cd. “good governance” degli interventi di sviluppo locale quale risultante dell’efficace combinazione di due variabili qualitative: la ideazione e implementazione di un sistema di regole, e il grado di coinvolgimento dei portatori di interessi. Con specifico riferimento alle esperienze di sviluppo locale in Italia, il differente atteggiarsi delle variabili qualitative esaminate consente di spiegare il percorso evolutivo verso il buon governo, e quindi l’efficacia, degli interventi attuati, a partire dagli anni ’50.

Pianificazione strategica tra sviluppo locale e policentrismo: alcune evidenze empiriche sul caso siciliano
2009
Strategic planning, local development and policentrism: empirical evidence for Sicily The aim of this paper is the analysis of metropolitan strategic planning in Sicily. Urban areas are becoming important units for territorial cohesion policy and strategic planning represents more and more an important policy instrument. Evidence of a policentric pattern is tested across 30 strategic plans carried out by Sicilian cities in order to derive useful insights for policy implications. Methods and Results This study uses multidimensional scaling and rank-size regressions across Sicilian Functional Urban Areas (FUA) as well as descriptive information drawn from strategic plans in order to identify …
Developing IRT Approach in the Area of Central Southern Sicily Through Governance and Strategic Planning
2010
The paper presents a case study concerning the development of IRT approach in the area of central southern Sicily, the ample portion of territory surrounding Agrigento and its Archeological Area known as “The Valley of Temples”. This has been inscribed in the Unesco List of World Heritage in 1997, due to the fact that Agrigento was one of the greatest cities of the ancient Mediterranean world, and it has been preserved in an exceptionally intact condition. Its great row of Doric temples is one of the most outstanding monuments of Greek art and culture. Despite this uncommon characteristic, touristic development in the area is still latent and the “Valley” has become somehow a bulky presence…
