The book focuses on the relationship between nature conservation policies and landscape policies. This is a relevant subject due to the current need of reviving nature conservation policies, which are today affected by a general effectiveness deficiency. To this end, landscape policies can play a crucial role, bridging nature and culture, fostering more integrated approaches to nature conservation and stimulating the active participation of local communities. The book gathers reflections, researches and experiences developed on an international level on this subject by experts coming from different international contexts (Europe, U.S.A.), various disciplinary backgrounds (geographers, planners, biologists, historians, jurists, economists, etc.) and several institutional bodies (Universities, administrative bodies, international organizations such as IUCN, EUROPARC Federation, UNESCO, etc.). The overall reflections gathered in the book - which is divided in three main sections: regulations and institutional frameworks, policies, actions and tools - combine to suggest innovative visions about the relationships between nature policies and landscape policies.
Da non molti anni il dibattito sui temi paesistici ha imboccato una svolta, dalle preoccupazioni conservative e vincolistiche alla ricerca di metodologie d'intervento e norme attive, che consentano lo sviluppo del territorio compatibile con il mutare delle esigenze collettive . Ciò è basato sul riconoscimento della natura intrinsecamente dinamica del paesaggio, inteso nella sua materialità ma anche nel suo essere, al tempo stesso, un costrutto sociale. La svolta è sancita dalla Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio, che ammette tra gli obiettivi delle politiche del paesaggio anche la creazione di nuovi paesaggi "per soddisfare le aspirazioni della popolazione interessata". Questo volume si c...
This book represents a compilation of research in sustainable architecture and planning. Its main focus is offering strategies and solutions that help reducing of the negative impacts of buildings on the environment and emphasizing the suitable management of available resources. By tackling the topic of sustainability from a historical perspective and also as a vision for the future, the book in hands provides new horizons for engineers, urban planners and environmentalists interested in the optimization of resources, space development, and the ecosystem as a whole to address the complex unresolved problems our cities are facing. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from IEREK’s sixth edition of the International Conference on Urban Planning & Architectural Design for Sustainable Development (UPADSD) held online in collaboration with the University of Florence, Italy (2021) and the first edition of the International Conference on Circular Economy for Sustainable Development (CESD) held online in collaboration with the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy (2021).
Smart Evaluation and Integrated Design in Regional Development puts forward an alternative approach to evaluation in spatial planning - one that focuses on ’territory’ and ’landscape’. The book introduces an innovative evaluation approach, namely Territorial Integrated Evaluation (TIE), a meta-evaluation methodology for designing regional development scenarios. A research team from the Politecnico di Torino applied this methodology experimentally to the practices of spatial planning in Trentino in order to aid the Province in a process of institutional innovation that is still going on today. TIE defines territorial scenarios serving the need for regional economic development as well...
Una raccolta di saggi come questa vuole essere soprattutto la testimonianza di un percorso disciplinare, un cammino simile peraltro a quello compiuto in altre università italiane e tuttavia unico nella sua evoluzione e particolare come ogni esperienza lo è. Dieci anni di lavoro scientifico e didattico sul paesaggio meritavano una riflessione e noi l'abbiamo fatta nell'unico modo che conosciamo: scrivendo. Non c'è, dunque, né potrebbe esserci nessuna volontà celebrativa, è solo un modo, fra i tanti, di compiere una sorta di autoanalisi, di comprendere più approfonditamente noi stessi e di far meglio conoscere agli altri la nostra vicenda, quello che abbiamo prodotto, come l'abbiamo fatto e quali risultati sono stati conseguiti, al fine di poterlo confrontare e mettere a disposizione di quanti si occupano della stessa area disciplinare o di problematiche ad essa vicine.
The volume presents the research experience of young researchers and PhD candidates, dealing with the Italian scientific area 08-C1 (Design and Technology of Architecture), with a discussion about scientific issues and methodologies applied. The aim is to express the methodological and investigation features of the issues faced by the researchers, along with the effectiveness of their researches design, giving the reader an immediate overview of the 08-C1 doctoral experience. Beside young researchers statements as witnesses of this research path, the volume collects professors critical contribution, to enrich the comprehensive picture of the progression and methodologies of the doctoral researches presented.
