Book excerpt: Collana Archinauti diretta da Claudio D'Amato / Archinauti series edited by Claudio D'Amato L'obiettivo generale del presente lavoro 6 stato quello di promuovere e favorire il recupero integrato e la valorizzazione delle architetture rurali, dei borghi e dei relativi contesti ambientali, in ambito mediterraneo, con particolare riferimento al sistema della rete tratturale che attraversa la Puglia murgiana. Nella storia dell'uomo, sin dall'antichità, il concetto di strada ha rivestito un ruolo fondante nello sviluppo e nel controllo di una nazione o di un impero, in quanto linea di collegamento tra persone, paesi e, più in generale, luoghi. La ricerca si colloca all'interno delle tematiche affrontate dal Dipartimento DICAR ed, in particolare, nel filone di studi che ha per oggetto l'architettura ed i sistemi territoriali nell'area del bacino del Mediterraneo, intesa sia come area geografico-culturale, che come area tecnico-costruttiva. I caratteri architettonici, urbani e paesaggistici del territorio pugliese sono stati interpretati come esito di una profonda relazione tra forma della città e forma della campagna. Le aree-studio selezionate sono state indagate nelle loro varianti storiche formali e funzionali, attraverso le pratiche del rilievo, della schedatura, del fondamentale metodo della classificazione dei tipi formali ed edilizi. II territorio e stato interpretato proprio come un insieme di fatti urbani, come sistema unitario e coerente, espressione della sintesi morfo-tipologica e luogo della rappresentazione delle logiche tettoniche. La conoscenza scaturisce, a sua volta, dall'analisi storica e formale, dallo studio della tipologia e dall'approfondimento della tecnica e della costruzione. Questo studio ha come oggetto un territorio che e la testimonianza di un abbandono iniziato nel XVI secolo, con il passaggio dalla pratica agricola alla pastorizia stanziale e nomade, e protrattosi sino al XIX secolo, quando l'aumento delle coltivazioni diversificate favori il pendolarismo dei braccianti. Da questo fenomeno di progressivo abbandono nasce il problema della salvaguardia del valore, oltre che dell'uso, dei paesaggi e dei manufatti rurali che rischiano di essere trasformati, o meglio stravolti, da esigenze esclusivamente turistiche e speculative, non rispettose del carattere identitario di questo patrimonio storico, culturale ed ambientale. Per queste ragioni la ricerca si configura come un progetto che, andando oltre le esigenze di una pianificazione puntuale, ribadisce la necessità di fondare ogni tipologia d'intervento sulla conoscenza dell'architettura del territorio; un progetto costruito non solo attraverso l'identificazione dei materiali, i criteri della lettura stilistica, ma integrato in un dibattito più ampio che si pone tra le occasioni della tradizione e le ragioni della cultura moderna.

Download or read book Plant Genetic Conservation written by Nigel Maxted and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.

Download or read book Engineering Geology for Society and Territory Volume 5 written by Giorgio Lollino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 1304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of urban geology. Along with a rapidly growing world population, the wave of urban growth continues, causing cities to swell and new metropolitan centers to emerge. These global trends also open new ventures for underground city development. Engineering geology plays a major role in facing the increasing issues of the urban environment, such as: finding aggregates for construction works; providing adequate water supply and waste management; solving building problems associated to geological and geomorphological conditions; evaluating host rock conditions for underground constructions; preventing or mitigating geological and seismic hazards. Furthermore, this book illustrates recent advancements in sustainable land use planning, which includes conservation, protection, reclamation and landscape impact of open pit mining and alternative power generation. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: 1. Climate Change and Engineering Geology 2. Landslide Processes River Basins 3. Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources 4. Marine and Coastal Processes Urban Geology 5. Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation 6. Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects 7. Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology 8. Preservation of Cultural Heritage

Download or read book Urban Planning as a Trading Zone written by Alessandro Balducci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Trading zone' is a concept introduced by Peter Galison in his social scientific research on how scientists representing different sub-cultures and paradigms have been able to coordinate their interaction locally. In this book, Italian and Finnish planning researchers extend the use of the concept to different contexts of urban planning and management, where there is a need for new ideas and tools in managing the interaction of different stakeholders. The trading zone concept is approached as a tool in organizing local platforms and support systems for planning participation, knowledge production, decision making and local conflict management. In relation to the former theses of communicative planning theory that stress the ideals of consensus, mutual understanding and universal reason, the 'trading zone approach', outlined in this book, offers a different perspective. It focuses on the potentiality to coordinate locally the interaction of different stakeholders without requiring the deeper sharing of understandings, values and motives between them. Galison’s commentary comes in the form of the book’s final chapter.

Download or read book Post Metropolitan Territories written by Alessandro Balducci and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Processes of multi-scalar regional urbanization are occurring worldwide. Such processes are clearly distinguishable from those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries due to the shifting concepts of both the city and the metropolis. International literature highlights how what we have historically associated with the idea of cities has long been subjected to consistent reconfiguration, which involves stressing some of the typical features of the idea of "cityness". Post-Metropolitan Territories: Looking for a New Urbanity is the product of a research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It constitutes a thorough overview of a country that is one of Europe's most diverse in terms of regional development and performance: Italy. This book brings together case studies of a number of Italian cities and their hinterlands and looks at new forms of urbanization, exploring themes of sustainability, industrialization, de-industrialization, governance, city planning and quality of life. This volume will be of great interest to academics and students who study regional development, economic geography and urban studies, as well as civil servants and policymakers in the field of spatial planning, urban policy, territorial policies and governance.
Download or read book From Student to Urban Planner written by Tuna Taşan-Kok and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many young planners, the noble intentions with going to planning school seem starkly out of place in the neoliberal worlds they have come to inhabit. For some, the huge gap between the power they thought they would have and what they actually do is not only worrying, but also deeply discouraging. But for some others, practice means finding practical and creative solutions to overcome challenges and complexities. How do young planners in different settings respond to seemingly similar situations like these? What do they do – give up, adjust, or fight back? What role did their planning education play, and could it have helped in preparing and assisting them to respond to the world they are encountering? In this edited volume, stories of young planners from sixteen countries that engage these questions are presented. The sixteen cases range from settings with older, established planning systems (e.g., USA, the Netherlands, and the UK) to settings where the system is less set (e.g., Brazil), being remodeled (e.g., South Africa and Bosnia Herzegovina), and under stress (e.g., Turkey and Poland). Each chapter explores what might be done differently to prepare young planners for the complexities and challenges of their ‘real worlds’. This book not only points out what is absent, but also offers planning educators an alternative vision. The editors and esteemed contributors provide reflections and suggestions as to how this new generation of young planners can be supported to survive in, embrace, and change the world they are encountering, and, in the spirit of planning, endeavor to ‘change it for the better’.
