The urban and environmental building code as implementation tool

2014

The frame within which the work is placed refers to the actions necessary to achieve the objectives of the coverage of the consumption of energy from renewable sources compared to the gross final consumption, posed to Regions by 2020, and that can be implemented through various actions involving local gov-ernments including the revision of the Building Regulations municipalities in a sustainable view. Theseactions are increasingly being recognized as energy plan-ning tools for the territories where administrations have committed to the Euro-pean project Covenant of Mayors. The discussion shows how the adoption by the Regions of Guidelines for sustainable Municipal Building Regulations can b…

Human Rights in Romanian Courts: A European Perspective?

2016

The perception and application of the European Convention on Human Rights by various national jurisdictions depends fundamentally on the way in which the Convention has been introduced into national law, as well as, in some countries, by how constitutional jurisdictions shaped this relationship. The article examines the reception of the Convention by a few European states, with a special regard on the case of Romania. Romanian courts, including the Constitutional Court and the supreme court, had a hesitant approach of the principle established by 1991 Constitution of the priority of international law of human rights over domestic law. In the context of the diversity of sources of the Europe…

Mediterranean systems of intermunicipal cooperation: the Valencian municipal associations and French communautés

2017

El presente artículo aborda desde una perspectiva valenciana la viabilidad de la cooperación entre municipios mediante el análisis de dos sistemas de asociacionismo intermunicipal: el valenciano y el francés. Para conocer cuáles son los elementos que llevan a la articulación de las asociaciones de municipios se hace un repaso sobre los puntos centrales del debate sobre la escala óptima para la prestación de servicios públicos y se recogen las principales tendencias en el contexto europeo, tanto en los diferentes estados como en los instrumentos de la Unión Europea. Partiendo de ello, se analizan el sistema valenciano de mancomunidades y la estructura de communautés francesas desde el punto …

De la aljama a la corte: aproximación biográfica del médico converso valenciano Pere Pintor (<em>ca</em>. 1423-1508)

2019

This paper deals with the biography of the doctor from Valencia Pere Pintor, a member of a family of Valencian Jewish conversos. He was a doctor who, after training at the Estudi General in Lleida, worked for nearly thirty years in the city of Valencia, in the service of the municipal council, numerous noblemen, and the royal household. As a doctor, he became very successful and well known, and he amassed great wealth in parallel to his social advancement. All this was placed in jeopardy with the establishment, in 1481, of the court of the Holy Inquisition in the kingdom of Valencia, which fiercely attacked and repressed Pintor and his family. As a result of this he left Valencia and moved …

Le Potenzialità del Trust come Veicolo Istituzionale Prescelto per Responsabilizzare il Terzo Settore nel Recupero e nella Valorizzazione del Patrimo…

2019

Italian Abstract: In Italia, la tutela del patrimonio culturale e sempre stata demandata principalmente allo Stato o, piu in generale, al settore pubblico, soprattutto alla luce della naturale vocazione degli attori pubblici a perseguire interessi generali. Tuttavia, oggigiorno tale “automatismo burocratico” e stato messo in discussione da due macro-trends in atto: da un lato la fine del monopolio degli attori pubblici nella cura dell’interesse generale, in ragione dei crescenti vincoli di bilancio; dall’altro, la speculare emersione a livello comunale di iniziative di “cittadini attivi” disposti a farsi carico della tutela di interessi generali e del proposito di recupero e di valorizzazio…

Las vías de acceso al poder local en la Valencia del siglo XVIII. Continuidad y cambio de un proceso de ennoblecimiento de los oficios municipales

1987

La abolición de los fueros en 1707 y el establecimiento de la Nueva Planta como marco jurídico a partir del cual se iba a dotar de contenido a las instituciones valencianas, introdujeron cambios cualitativos en lo que venía siendo el devenir histórico del poder local. Supuso, al mismo tiempo, la concreción de una nueva dinámica en las relaciones de la Monarquía con las distintas instancias o niveles de poder existentes. Uno de ellos era el municipio y, especialmente, el municipio foral. Del conjunto de transformaciones de que fue objeto este último, quisiéramos referirnos aquí a los mecanismos de cooptación del personal político a escala local, a través de un análisis no ya de la nueva olig…

El Síndico de la ciudad de Valencia. De las Germanías a la insaculación

2001

El síndico de la ciudad de Valencia era uno de los principales cargos en el organigrama político municipal de la capital del Reino durante el periodo foral; de ahí que el sistema de provisión del mismo llegara a cobrar suficiente entidad como para suscitar deseos de control por parte de la ciudad y de la Corona. Además de analizar las características del oficio y la relación de quienes lo desempeñaron, el presente trabajo se centra en las disputas que ambos sectores de la administración mantuvieron sobre su designación, especialmente a partir del momento, a finales del Quinientos, en que se desdobla el cargo y deja de ser perpetuo, escapando al control tradicional que había venido mantenien…

Synthetic environmental appraisal of waste management system: an application to the Sicilian region

2004

This paper addresses the problem of synthetically evaluating the environmental performances of urban solid waste systems. This, in fact, represents a crucial point in the management process of complex systems that local administrations are called to cope with, in order to provide decisions about policy options that involve different issues characterising the quality of life of people. Suitable methods of evaluation are clearly required for this aim. This work introduces the dashboard of sustainability and the ecological footprint approaches as aggregate indicators of the performances of solid waste management systems. The methods have been selected due to their intrinsic simplicities, provi…

LANDFILL SITE SELECTION FOR MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE BY USING AHP METHOD IN GIS ENVIRONMENT: WASTE MANAGEMENT DECISION-SUPPORT IN SICILY (ITALY)

2018

The goal of this work was to test a methodology, based on multi-criteria analysis and geographic information systems, aimed at identifying areas potentially suitable to host landfills for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Although the above-mentioned methodology was applied to three different areas (Western, South-western and Eastern) of Sicily, in this paper, we present the results of the western sector. The first step consisted of the division of the study area in excluded and potentially suitable sites, on the basis of the Italian current legislation. The suitable sites were subsequently re-evaluated based on additional criteria in order to choose the most suitable ones. This second step cons…

La participación política de las personas inmigrantes: cuestiones para el debate

2008

En el debate acerca del acceso a la ciudadanía de las personas inmigrantes, en cuanto clave jurídico-política de plena pertenencia a una comunidad, la cuestión de la participación política parece ser el gran caballo de batalla. En el caso español, la cláusula constitucional que vincula el derecho de sufragio al criterio de la reciprocidad, limita hasta prácticamente anular la posibilidad del reconocimiento de dicho derecho a los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, varias interpretaciones al respecto son posibles para intentar activar la participación política de estas personas, comenzando por las elecciones municipales. Sin duda, los obstáculos a salvar no son fáciles y exigen no renunciar a la posib…
