Resilience Planning, a Facilitated Modelling Approach
2018
Resilience has emerged as a buzzword among researchers and practitioners. However, despite its popularity, there has been little progress in moving it from an elaborate metaphor describing an idyllic state of the system to a tool for planning and managing adaptation. While case study research is rich with examples of systems that have proven to be resilient or are striving to develop resilience, there is no defined approach that operationalises concepts described in the literature into the planning process. This paper helps close this gap by illustrating how facilitated modelling can be used for resilience planning in socio-ecological systems. The paper summarizes our experience using facil…
A spatial origin‐destination approach for the analysis of local tourism demand in Italy
2023
The article assesses the competitiveness of tourist destinations, while accounting for spatial features of tourism and information on both the origin and the destination of tourists. Using a dynamic spatial panel data model with common factors within the origin-destination framework, it explores unilateral inbound tourism flows in 110 Italian regions from 23 European origin countries over the period 2004-2017. The estimation and test results confirm the need to consider this advanced spatial econometric model. In an empirical application measuring tourism resilience of regions based on this model, the results demonstrate the importance of promoting coordinated actions between neighbouring d…
Location-Awareness for Failure Management in Cellular Networks: An Integrated Approach
2021
Recent years have seen the proliferation of different techniques for outdoor and, especially, indoor positioning. Still being a field in development, localization is expected to be fully pervasive in the next few years. Although the development of such techniques is driven by the commercialization of location-based services (e.g., navigation), its application to support cellular management is considered to be a key approach for improving its resilience and performance. When different approaches have been defined for integrating location information into the failure management activities, they commonly ignore the increase in the dimensionality of the data as well as their integration into th…
Globalne łańcuchy dostaw w obliczu inwazji Rosji na Ukrainę oraz popandemicznej normalności
2022
Pandemia zakłóciła tradycyjne łańcuchy dostaw i światowy handel głębiej niż inne kryzysy z niedawnej przeszłości. W złożonym środowisku biznesowym firmy zmuszone są przemyśleć i przeprojektować swoje łańcuchy dostaw pod kątem potrzebnej im odporności i elastyczności. Dlatego celem niniejszego artykułu jest identyfikacja trendów i rozwiązań logistycznych, które powinny zostać uwzględnione, aby firmy mogły umiejętnie poruszać się w nowej rzeczywistości. Na podstawie przeglądu literatury i doświadczeń przedsiębiorstw zostaną wskazane rola i znaczenie odporności (rezyliencji) oraz zarządzania ryzkiem w zapewnianiu sprawności i przejrzystości łańcuchów dostaw.
Differences in wage determination in the Eurozone: A challenge to the resilience of the common currency
2019
Abstract Different developments in wages and unit labor costs across countries can reduce the synchronization of business cycles within a currency area and therefore be a potential source of asymmetric shocks and/or asymmetric response to a common shock. In this paper, we use novel econometric methods to identify differences and similarities in wage determination across Eurozone countries. Results show that wages have different determinants across euro area countries, among which two relatively distinct groups can be identified. In particular, wages in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Finland behave more similarly, are less sticky and respond more to macroeconomic …
The Parent Child Relationship on New Family Scenario
2015
In the last two decades, the modern family has been going through significant changes in several aspects of its configuration and structure, requiring a complex and multidisciplinary perspective essential to its understanding. The children subsystem is not immune to these changes, and the parent-child relationship must be reformulated in the light of these wider transformations. Today the modern family, therefore, can appear to be deeply different from the traditional one in terms of structure and roles. This paper is a reflection on some of the alternatives to the traditional family forms in order to highlight critical and resilience factors.
PNRR E RIFLESSI SULLA FORMA DI GOVERNO ITALIANA. UN RITORNO ALL'INDIRIZZO POLITICO NORMATIVO?
2021
The work intends to analyse the impact on the governance of the decision-making, implementation and monitoring process of the PNRR. Starting from the «Dispositive» for recovery and resilience, one of the Next Generation EU most important instruments, from the relative negotiations and the European regulatory background, the paper briefly describes the procedural and content profiles of the PNRR drawn up by the Italian government in order to investigate the effects that this may have on the dynamics of the form of government and therefore also on the relations between the executive and the legislative, and in particular on which role the Parliament will be able to define for itself. The fil …

Risk narrations and perceptions in the COVID-19 time. A discourse analysis through the Italian press
2020
This paper explores how the risk related to the pandemic of COVID-19 was managed, narrated and perceived in Italy during the lockdown phase, from February until June 2020. To reach this aim, the study provides a discourse analysis of three main level: the official institutional discourses declaimed by the government and the health authority; the risk narration spread through the diaphragm of the Italian press, and specifically through two of the most-read newspapers in Italy (Repubblica and Corriere della Sera) and their related weeklies (Venerdì di Repubblica and Sette); finally, the diverse reactions and perceptions to the risk coming from the most affected and most vulnerable subjects, c…
Case study of the Kibera slum project

The thesis is divided into two main parts: the first one presents the key terms and a literary review on the concepts of social resilience and civic entrepreneurship. The second part is a case study on the cooperation of two non-governmental organ…
