Modelling students' mobility in Italy: an analysis of the determinants by combining individual and aggregated data

The migratory phenomenon consisting in the enrolment of some students in a University different from the one nearest to their place of origin goes under the name of students’ mobility (SM). This phenomenon can be studied for different territorial aggregations, depending on the aims and the availability of data. In Italy several analyses have been carried out to detect the determinants of such a phenomenon. Two approaches are mostly followed. The former considers the analysis of aggregate data (AD) flows, and it is aimed at detecting the characteristics of the Universities and the territories in which they are situated, the latter analyzes the determinants of SM on the grounds of the student…

The routes of Southern Italy university students: an explorative analysis

2022

The neoclassical migration approach postulates that different conditions in labour markets among territories are the driving forces behind migration. On the other hand, exponents of the new economics of migration argue that the decision to move is not made at the individual level. Considering migration as the result of a decision taken within a social network helps to explain the so-called chain migration. In this paper, we pay attention to the migratory chain of university students. This work introduces a statistical technique to “classify” migratory chains of students living in Sicily, Sardinia or Apulia, and enrolled in some centre-north regions from 2008 to 2017.

Student mobility: A systemic approach to preferential patterns in higher education

2022

The thesis is a collection of three essays with a “fil rouge”, namely the study of Italian student mobility, 2008 to 2017, analyzed systemically. The main objective of the thesis is to develop statistical methods suitable to identifying preferential mobility patterns starting from the micro-data of a mobility network and applying these methods to reveal preferential patterns of mobility among Italian students with a particular focus on students from Sicily. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that chain migration, within the framework of a network analysis, has been applied to the study of Italian student mobility. In each of the three chapters, there are data analysis tool…

Mobilità condivisa e processi di sviluppo sostenibile nelle città: le questioni aperte e gli spazi per le politiche pubbliche

2020

L’articolo compie un percorso esplorativo, facendo ricorso soprattutto alla letteratura esistente, sui potenziali effetti dei sistemi di mobilità condivisa sullo sviluppo e l’organizzazione delle città. La prima sezione ripercorre in una prospettiva storica le forme di interazione tra esigenze di mobilità e modelli di urbanizzazione, analizzandone i presupposti socio-economici e gli effetti dal punto di vista ambientale. Successivamente vengono esaminate le condizioni culturali e tecnologiche che hanno consentito la diffusione della sharing mobility nelle città occidentali, analizzandone in chiave critica le relazioni con lo spazio urbano. Nell’ultimo paragrafo ci si interroga sulle forme d…

Verso una disciplina giuridica della sharing mobility nell’Unione europea

2020

L’articolo propone un’analisi delle principali questioni relative alla regolamentazione dei servizi di sharing (o shared) mobility. Attraverso una disamina dei tratti peculiari dei diversi modelli di organizzazione economica per l’offerta di servizi di mobilità condivisa, si ricostruiscono i principali nodi problematici connessi tanto alla definizione di regole di governo del mercato dei nuovi servizi di mobilità, quanto all’esigenza di garantire una mobilità che sia anche veicolo di inclusione sociale e di sostenibilità ambientale. Nel farlo, l’articolo offre una riflessione critica sulle opposte polarità che caratterizzano il dibattito corrente in tema di sharing mobility: per un verso, l…

Quali regole per la sharing mobility in Europa. Un’introduzione

2020

All over Europe urban mobility services are subject to specialized regulatory regimes. In the last decade, new technologies have upended the sector, making possible new ways of organizing the industry. Platforms like Uber and Lyft have been among the first to seize these possibilities. However, they have often done so without regard for national and local laws. In response to these changes many EU jurisdictions have amended their sectoral regulations, revisiting issues such as licensing, background checks and insurance. The result has been a vast landscape of legal, commercial, and political conflict where local administrators, private operators and citizens are obliged to act within a norm…

Rambling in Sicily: Hybrid Mobility and Liminal Identities in Early Nineteenth Century Periodical Writing

2020

The essay focuses on the interaction between the discoursive patterns of Rambles in Sicily, in 1816. By an Artist, a travelogue published anonymously from 1817 to 1818 in The New Monthly Magazine and Universal Register, and the development of a hybrid travelling identity centred on a concept of mobility that oscillates from seeing to acting. Travelling in Sicily between the decline of the Grand Tour and the birth of mass tourism seems to lead to an identity construction encouraged by the polychromatic nature of the place travelled. The travelogue is deemed «a private account of an authentic and autobiographic experience of mobility in a public space» (Liedke 2018: 6). The concept of the tra…

Design, technology and social innovation: the serious game of traffic O2

2019

Social science and new communication technologies are deeply influencing the transportation domain and new models of urban sustainable development are constantly emerging as new possible solutions. One of the principal reasons is the capability to reach the motivations that foster us to choose one or another urban transportation systems. It is already feasible to develop solutions to implement and root more efficient and sustainable habits in urban transportation. The present exploratory chapter presents the activities conducted by innovation lab PUSH, with the Italian Ministry of Innovation and Research, for the development and the application of the social innovation project “TrafficO2” i…
