Vie périurbaine et mobilités quotidiennes, une double contrainte source de difficultés socio-économiques pour les personnes modestes et âgées
2020
Dans les territoires périurbains, la mobilité et l’automobilité sont indissociables autant qu’indispensables, tant pour les travailleurs transformés en « navetteurs » que pour des populations vieillissantes qui risquent l’isolement et la dépendance. Pourtant, les contraintes économiques des uns et l’impossible mobilité des autres, parfois même au sein de leur logement, rendent leur situation très complexe et les mènent vers une vulnérabilité certaine. À partir de sources et matériaux qualitatifs, ces éléments seront présentés et discutés à travers l’examen, dans de multiples espaces périurbains bourguignons, de la situation de pavillonnaires modestes puis de personnes âgées de moins en moin…
Rileggendo la città: le recenti trasformazioni del commercio a Catania
2016
This paper aims at scrutinizing the evolution of the retail sector and, consequently, of retailscapes in a Southern Italy city, Catania. Starting from the outputs of an empirical place-based research project carried out by the authors in the mid ’2000s, the work deepens the recent transformations occurred both in the central areas and in the suburbs, in order to explore the processes and dynamics – produced by and within the retail field – which have been shaping urban morphology and socio-economic functions in the last decade.
Per una didattica della Geografia sociale: sopralluoghi ed esplorazioni urbane
2021
This article analyses a didactic experience in the Borgo Ulivia neighborhood (Palermo), which originates from a research on council housing’s requalifying as a planning laboratory. In particular, its aim is to answer three questions: which choice guides the research in the field? What kind of didactic approach can we use? What kind of didactic restitution should be used? Within the didactic framework, answering these questions has three roles. First of all, we identify places capable of talking about tensions present at the local level but also in other geographical areas. Secondly, we reflect on the possible methods of research. Finally, we show how teaching is practiced both in the reflec…
THE NEW METROPOLITAN CITY AND THE SOUTHERN SUBURBS. XL REVERSE PALERMO
2017
Le innovazioni legislative sulla riforma delle Città metropolitane richiedono la formulazione di un nuovo modello metropolitano in cui si riduca la dipendenza dei centri di gravitazione rispetto alla città-core e l'individuazione di indirizzi generali di assetto strutturale del territorio e di scelte strategiche di sviluppo metropolitano fondati sul ripensamento complessivo degli squilibri territoriali, sul contrasto ai fenomeni di periferizzazione e sull'incremento complessivo della qualità dell'abitare. In questo nuovo e complesso orizzonte di azione, si modifica il ruolo che possono assumere le aree periferiche che collocate ai margini delle città-core, ad uno sguardo più ampio possiedon…
La política falangista y la creación de una cultura de propiedad de la vivienda en el primer franquismo, 1939-1959
2017
Al acabar la guerra civil, según censo de 1940, la población española era de 26 millones, con una mayoría de población rural. En 1970 el país alcanzaba los 34 millones, de los cuales un 80% vivía en localidades con más de 5.000 vecinos. Y 6 millones de personas habían emigrado, agudizando la necesidad de nuevas viviendas, con la creación de los suburbios chabolistas. Los censos, también indican que en los años cuarenta, un 80% de las familias urbanas españolas vivían arrendadas. Por el contrario, en el año 2001, sólo un 11,5% de las viviendas están ocupadas en régimen de alquiler. El resto, son propiedad de sus residentes. Durante el primer franquismo, las clases medias y trabajadoras urban…
Demand Responsive Transport Services for Improving the Public Transport in Suburban Areas
2022
Suburbs suffer from isolation from densely populated urban centers due to the poor performance of traditional public transport services such as buses. This isolation worsens the quality of life of the residents of these areas, with related problems of social exclusion. One of the possible solutions to meet the mobility needs of these people is a flexible service such as Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) systems. This article assessed the effectiveness of a DRT service as a feeder transit service, assuming a connection of three suburban districts of Palermo, Italy, with a Railway Line station. Thanks to a Revealed Preferences (RP) and Stated Preferences (SP) survey campaign, both the current…

Las trayectorias habitacionales de los residentes suburbanos
2017
The suburban housing is a privileged urban form by French households for several decades. Nevertheless, the suburban residential trajectories are diversified and involve a population which is not less heterogeneous. From the literature and our field work, this contribution returns on the interests of residential trajectories approach and highlights the factors which connect the set of the inhabitants who, at one time or another of their trajectory, opted for this type of individual housing. Leaning on some discriminating variables (social, occupational, economic, life cycle…), a typology of suburban will come to conclude this article.
Aristocratic power exaltation between XVI and XVIII centuries in Palermo Area: psychological and symbolic aspects behind suburban villas' constructio…
2014
From ancient times, due to a very favourable climate, and the presence of many pure water sources, the “Golden Valley” surrounding the city of Palermo saw the settlement of an elaborate system of rural farms, “industrial” buildings. During the XVI century, and especially towards the XVIII century, spending some time in the countryside became a real trend for the urbanized Sicilian aristocracy. Thus, such buildings were slowly renewed into sumptuous suburban palaces to exhibit feudal family richness and power as well as to make living in the countryside more pleasant. In western Sicilian area, the architectural typology of the suburban villa is locally characterized by a mixture of the luxur…
Modelli e approcci innovativi di restauro urbano e architettonico
2016
The essay proposes a contribution, from within the discipline of restoration, but at the same time open to interdisciplinarity, on operations in new territorial areas - peripheries, degraded centers. Restoration has the possibility of influencing them, nurturing new perspectives based on an ethical dimension, aimed at safeguarding - in the processes of regeneration - values such as the promotion of the person, the cultural dimension of development, the quality of life. The reflection engages on two concrete experiences of research and third mission operated on the Palermo outskirts of Brancaccio and on the town of Favara, in the province of Agrigento.
