Search

The worldwide dynamics of the last thirty years are outlining opaque scenarios and forcing contemporaries to search for a catharsis whose urgency can no longer be postponed: cultures, economies and ecological balances in their current state are in danger of collapsing at an unprecedented rate. Nevertheless, it is possible to draw from the past references capable of updating consolidated paradigms, rediscovering approaches oriented towards the long term aimed at maintaining the conditions that have allowed progress and well-being for a large part of our species. The millenary practice of transhumance, today relegated to marginal contexts, is one of these: the extensive breeding of livestock, conducted on foot over long distances in search of pastures, is an exemplary adaptation to the scarcity of resources provided by the natural succession of seasons. In contrast, the problems arising from industrialised forms of animal husbandry are highlighted by numerous studies. The regeneration of the vast material and immaterial heritage inherited from transhumance, on the other hand, can provide answers to environmental, ethical and social issues that afflict every continent today: an ante litteram model of sustainability that finds in bioregional planning a concrete prospect of re-actualisation., Scienze del Territorio, Vol. 10 No. 2 (2022): Eco-territorialism. The bioregional perspective

A typological GIS is a system designed to store, analyse, manage and visualize geo-referred data about the built environment. It allows interactive queries to explore spatial relationships between buildings, improving the knowledge of the built heritage at different scales. For example, by running space-typological analysis, it is possible to extract information about the most used typologies in the existing buildings at different levels, from the urban scale to the construction detail. This knowledge shows a great potential in building design applications and may provide support for a correct design in urban renovation projects aimed to keep the character of the considered area unchanged and preserve its cultural and historical value. This work presents the first phase implementation of the typological GIS of an historical city centre set north of Naples and shows some examples of possible GIS queries for typological investigation of built environment at different detail levels. Un SIG (Sistema de Información Geográfica) tipológico, es un sistema diseñado para almacenar, analizar, gestionar y visualizar datos geo-referenciados sobre el entorno construido. Permite consultas interactivas para explorar las relaciones espaciales entre edificios mejorarando el conocimiento del patrimonio construido a diferentes escalas. Realizando un análisis espacio-tipológico, es posible extraer información de los edificios existentes sobre las tipologías más utilizadas a diferentes niveles, desde la escala urbana hasta el detalle constructivo. Este conocimiento, podría servir de apoyo para un correcto diseño en los proyectos de renovación urbana destinados a mantener inalterado el carácter de la zona considerada y preservar su valor cultural e histórico. Este trabajo presenta la primera fase de implementación del SIG tipológico de un centro histórico situado al norte de Nápoles, y muestra algunos ejemplos de posibles consultas del SIG para la investigación tipológica del entorno construido a diferentes niveles de detalle.

The lockdown caused by the Covid-19 outbreak was an involuntary socio-environmental experiment demonstrating that the conditions exist to pursue alternative solutions to our short-sighted economic-productive system. Long neglected themes have returned to the center of the debate: the potential of inland areas in the policies of redistribution of settlement density; the value, not only cultural, of secondary historical settlements; the enhancement of ecosystem services due to large-area environmental systems; the role of urban spaces and proximity green spaces for the sustainability of dense settlements. For all these issues, the transhumance system has played a central role over time. In this new scenario, the article reports on a research effort aimed at defining a territorial model for the European transhumance network. The territorial system of transhumance, observed according to the taxonomic hierarchy proposed by the research, will be able to constitute a knowledge base for implementing policies for the conservation of customs, traditions, beliefs, food and wine culture, and expression of the pastoral world. Furthermore, the system may become a coherent framework aimed at assessing the environmental and landscape sustainability of rebalancing settlement transformations in a climate-proof way, with particular reference to the new mobility strategies and new settlement choices that will become appropriate in the post-pandemic era., UPLanD - Journal of Urban Planning, Landscape & environmental Design, Vol 5 No 2: Healthy City

The paper provides documentary evidence of the direct impacts on the coastal setting in the northern Campania (southern Italy) region, crossed by the Volturno River, that have led to dramatic alterations of alluvial channels, floodplain and the deltaic environment, aside from the coastline retreat following four centuries of land reclamation. The Volturno delta plain is characterized by an outer delta formed mainly by beach ridges, and an inner plain containing several depressions of drained marsh regions. Until the beginning of the last century, this area was the site of swamps and ponds bearing a high incidence of malaria. Historical analysis coupled with a cartographic restitution in a geographic information system environment has produced documentary evidence of the geomorphological evolution of the coastal sector and has allowed the reconstruction of relevant landscape and hydrographic changes since the end of the seventeenth century, when - during the Spanish vice-kingdom - it was subjected to major land reclamation. The availability of reclaimed lands along the coastal alluvial plain promoted the development of agriculture and farming, as well as a strong coastal urbanization. As a consequence, a landscape fragmentation increased significantly between the 1960s and the 1990s; built-up land area increased as well, overgrowing to the sea. An overall reduction in high-quality ecosystems (humid coastal setting, lacustrine/marshy back-dune area and beach-dune system) is recorded, resulting in biodiversity loss and a dramatic reduction in environmental quality. The outcomes of this research will be beneficial to society for better decision-making over these coastal area applications, in a sustainable manner, especially in these countries that are still experiencing land reclamation.

Vengono illustrati i primi risultati di una realizzazione ed utilizzazione sull'applicazione di un T-GIS, ovvero GIS Tipologico, nella progettazione di rigenerazione edilizia. Il T-GIS è pensato come uno strumento di conoscenza approfondita dell'ambiente costruito e come efficace supporto al complesso processo decisionale. Infatti, conoscere l'oggetto edilizio significa conoscere non solo le caratteristiche fisiche dell’edificio, ma tutta la complessità di aspetti che di volta in volta devono essere indagati per far proprie le conoscenze che riguardano la nascita, la crescita e lo sviluppo dell’edificato e del suo contesto. La ricerca è ancora in corso in quanto, anche se le fasi di costruzione del T-GIS sono essenzialmente complete, sono tuttora in corso le fasi di analisi.

Il porto turistico di Castelvolturno-Pinetamare lamenta fenomeni di interrimento dell’imboccatura che comporta frequenti interventi di dragaggio, a seguito di un significativo trasporto solido che, nel tempo, ha determinato notevoli variazioni della linea di riva, evidenziate dalla cartografia storica e dalle foto aeree. In questo lavoro vengono esposti i risultati di uno studio sperimentale per valutare l'efficacia dell'intervento strutturale basato sulla realizzazione di una "trappola" per sedimenti rappresentata da una scogliera ortogonale all'esistente molo di sopraflutto per il nuovo porto turistico. Presso la vasca ondogena del Laboratorio di Idraulica Marittima della SUN, l’efficacia dell'intervento proposto è stata valutata mediante la riproduzione in modello della "trappola", dell’intero molo di sopraflutto, dell’imboccatura portuale e di un tratto di linea di costa sufficientemente ampio da consentire l'istaurarsi di una corrente parallela alla linea di riva. Le prove sperimentali condotte hanno evidenziato l’efficacia dell’intervento progettuale proposto. The whole activities and operations which will take place within the area of the new marina of Castelvolturno-Pinetamare have made it necessary to evaluate ability to entertain "trap", placing perpendicular breakwater. The Port Authority therefore asked the MHL (Maritime Hydraulic Laboratory) of the Second University of Naples to carry out an intensive laboratory investigation on the capacity "trap" for sediment in order to optimize its design. The current marina, located at SE of the mouth of the River Volturno and the Regi Lagni, is interesting by phenomena silting at harbor mouth that involves dredging to re-establish depth compatible. The sediment transport resulted in the deviation of Regi Lagni mouth quantified on a cartography for the last 250 years in a GIS environment. It has been played in a physical model trap of sediment, the breakwater, the harbor mouth and a coastline. The experimental tests highlight that the trap for sediments appears able to intercept it.

Scopo della ricerca è la valutazione e la quantizzazione dei processi che determinano la perdita di suolo del bacino idrografico del Fiume Calore. • Sono stati calcolati il valore di deflusso torbido unitario medio annuo (Tu) e la perdita stimata di suolo media annua (A) attraverso l'applicazione dell’Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), ed infine Sediment Delivery Ratio. • L’approccio metodologico, indipendentemente dall'area di studio, consente l’individuazione di aree soggette a differenti entità di erosione, fornendo indicazioni utili a prevenire o a mitigare il fenomeno.
