Koncepcja urban resilience : narzędzie strategicznej diagnozy i monitoringu miast
2015
Celem artykułu jest prezentacja propozycji metodyki badawczej dotyczącej oceny prężności miejskiej, w tym jej wstępna weryfikacja dla wybranych miast w Polsce. Uzupełnienie w tym zakresie stanowi sformułowanie wniosków odnoszących się do zastosowania analizowanej metodyki badawczej w procesie strategicznej diagnozy i monitoringu miast. Proponowana metodyka oceny prężności miejskiej zakłada, że miasto stanowi otwarty system adaptacyjny, składający się z atrybutów prężności i wrażliwości. Monitorowanie ich wartości jest elementem diagnozy strategicznej prowadzącym do identyfikacji działań wzmacniających prężność miasta.
The Power of Fiction in Creating a Territory’s Image
2021
The current economic crisis, and its effects on the European sovereign debt, has resulted in a significant reduction in Italian investments in the field of preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. In fragile contexts, such as Sicily, the contraction of investments has put further into crisis the already weak manage- ment and planning system. Despite this scenario of crisis, in South-Eastern Sicily, the province of Ragusa shows a significant resilience to the crisis also due to the “Mon- talbano effect” and the capability to rethink the traditional heritage policies (Maga- zzino and Mantovani 2012). The paper, based on the analysis of the South-Eastern Sicily case study, reflects o…
Resilience and Convergence: Short vs.Long-Run Regional Effects of Economic Crises and Macroeconomic Policies
2020
Before the outbreak of the Great Recession, considerable attention was devoted to what makes a region successful, and why some regions grow faster than others, but researchers often overlooked how regions react to shocks and why this happens in a heterogeneous way. Furthermore, the classic literature on regional inequalities has mainly focused on the longterm relationship between economic growth and regional disparities and on the role of labor mobility, sometimes also as a mechanism of adjustment to labor demand idiosyncratic shocks. This literature trend has reversed since 2008, when investigation of the heterogeneous impact of shocks across areas became prominent in regional studies beca…

Online Black-Markets: An Investigation of a Digital Infrastructure in the Dark
2021
AbstractThis paper investigates the functioning of Online Black-Markets (OBMs), i.e. a digital infrastructure operating in the Dark Net that enables the exchange of illegal goods such as drugs, weapons and fake digital identities. OBMs exist notwithstanding adverse conditions such as police interventions, scams and market breakdowns. Relying on a longitudinal case study, we focus on the dynamics of interactions among actors and marketplace technologies and we identify three mechanisms explaining OBMs operations. In particular, we show that OBMs infrastructure is the result of commoditization, platformization and resilience processes. Our contribution relies on the identification of communit…
Conditional cash transfers : empowerment resilience and good behaviours in development policies.
2018
Empowerment, resilience and poverty reduction strategies seem to be bound by mutual exclusion. Through poverty reduction and empowerment, people escape poverty and precarization processes by acquiring capabilities that give them both economic and existential stability; in a word, they acquire human resilience. Nevertheless, the relationship between the three concepts and their corresponding practices is characterized by a complementary link that works as a matrix of neoliberal subjectivation processes that involve both men and women on a global level. Said link is a broad and diverse one where other practices and concepts interact: i.e. vulnerability, securitization, care, responsibility an…
Industrial decline and resilience in the European Mediterranean periphery. Territorial and sectoral analysis in the region of Valencia (Spain) during…
2019
El descenso del sector industrial en la economía de la Comunitat Valenciana durante las dos últimas décadas ha sido muy acusado, ya que pasó del 25% del VAB en 1995 a menos del 17% en 2013. Este declive se explica por los cambios estructurales que tuvo que afrontar con la llegada del nuevo milenio para adaptarse a los nuevos patrones de producción y consumo propios de la globalización, que se vieron agravados por la crisis financiera de 2007. A partir de un enfoque por sectores y, a la vez, por territorios, se lleva a cabo un análisis de la evolución reciente de la industria valenciana. Se observa como el modelo predominante de esta industria sigue siendo el distrito industrial endógeno, si…
Psychometric evidence of a brief measure of resilience in non-institutionalized Peruvian older adults
2018
Resilience is understood as the domain of personal resources and contextual factors that allow for a successful coping and enhance positive adaptation to the different stressors during the lifespan, thereby being important for a healthy and successful aging. Nowadays, several brief instruments have been developed to measure resilience, such as the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), an instrument that measures the ability of people to confront stress in an adaptive way. In this vein, the study provides evidence of the validity and reliability of the BRCS in non-institutionalized older adults in Peru. Two hundred thirty-six elderly people of both genders, 78.4% women and 21.6% men, with a m…
Resilience practices and patient safety: a multiple case study
2017
Organizations’ resiliency is receiving more and more attention within the operations management academic community because of the general awareness regarding the impossibility to prevent any kind of failure/disaster that may occur in whatever work system. Although healthcare organizations everyday manage those operational failures which treat the patient safety, in healthcare management domain there is a “lack of knowledge” about resilience practices, even if few authors have studied similar concepts, such as the work-around practices. In this paper we present an exploratory study we have conducted within two Italian hospitals to comprehend the main capabilities which enable healthcare resi…
