Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ecologia del paesaggio biologico-integrata, o meglio “Bionomia del Paesaggio”, si propone come un atto di rifondazione della disciplina iniziato dall’Autore una dozzina di anni fa, con l’appoggio di Richard Forman, basato sul riconoscimento del paesaggio come specifico livello dell’organizzazione della vita sulla Terra. A scala territoriale, in un determinato ambito geografico, il “paesaggio” si definisce come “integrazione di un insieme di comunità vegetali, animali ed umane e del loro sistema di ecosistemi naturali, seminaturali e antropico-culturali in una certa configurazione spaziale”, cioè come sistema iper-complesso che costituisce una entità vivente: non un insieme incoerente, quindi, di aspetti e di tematiche separate (acqua, aria, suolo, specie, inquinamenti) tra cui si possano trovare delle interrelazioni! Ciò porta, inevitabilmente, notevoli cambiamenti nelle modalità di valutare e gestire l’ambiente. Possiamo, infatti, riconoscere delle strutture e delle funzioni proprie di ogni paesaggio, ossia dei comportamenti peculiari che vanno oltre le classiche relazioni fra le componenti perché dovuti a leggi sistemiche. Si può così parlare di uno “stato di salute” e di una serie di sindromi (o patologie) del paesaggio. Questo fatto è assai rilevante, perché si è dimostrato che le alterazioni patologiche di un paesaggio, o di una sua parte, possono influire sulla salute umana, anche in assenza di inquinamenti! Prestiamo attenzione al fatto che si può intervenire sul territorio con le migliori intenzioni causando invece un danno! Ne consegue la necessità di studiare le “unità di paesaggio” con un metodo “clinico-diagnostico” e di considerare gli ecologi come “medici” dei sistemi ecologici, cioè “ecoiatri”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years EU policy towards the ‘landscape’ has become better defined, whereas at the same time the notion of ‘landscape’ itself remains elusive. The need for indicators to evaluate and monitor the effects of landscape policies and plans is urgent. What is more, landscape is one of the components considered in environmental reporting, but unlike air, soil, or water, it is difficult to measure using quantitative methods. With studies on landscape indicators being as rare as they are, this volume is an attempt to fill the gap, dealing as it does with the definition and use of specific indicators for landscape assessment and monitoring. To tackle the diverse dimensions of the landscape (whose complexity is well known), the subject is approached by a multidisciplinary team of experts in landscape ecology, landscape history, landscape perception, regional planning, strategic environmental assessment and environmental impact assessment procedures, and multi-criteria assessment methods. Individual chapters include comparative assessments of studies conducted thus far in the EU, as well as detailed analyses of ecological, historical, perceptive, land-use, and economic ways of looking at landscape. As well as providing a rich source of references for researchers studying the landscape from a variety of perspectives, the book will be required reading for European officials involved at any level in planning or assessing the landscape or environment.

Download or read book Landscape Ecology A Widening Foundation written by Vittorio Ingegnoli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The urgent need for a sustainable environment has resulted in the increased recognition of the field of landscape ecology amongst policy makers working in the area of nature conservation, restoration and territorial planning. Nonetheless, the question of what is precisely meant by the term landscape ecology'is still unresolved. No doubt, a proper foundation of the discipline must first be cemented. This book develops such a foundation. In doing so it provides all the diverse applications of the discipline with a solid framework and proposes an effective diagnostic methodology to investigate the ecological state and the pathologies of the landscape.

Download or read book Urban Landscapes written by Massimo Sargolini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities and is subject to particular environmental and economic impacts against the backdrop of an evolving planetary crisis. This book explores the intimate relationship between the quality of life of city dwellers and the quality of urban landscapes, including those regenerated through green spaces and environmental networks. Starting from the concept of “landscape” as defined by the European Landscape Convention (i.e. "an area, perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors"), it expands upon, in particular, the interactions between the different biotic and abiotic components that contribute to the quality of the landscape and the environment. In the first part of the book, the author examines fundamental concepts and discusses a variety of relevant topics, such as the city under transformation, waste spaces, smart communities, regeneration programs, the role of environmental networks, and new instruments for decision making. The second part is devoted to a case study of the Italian Adriatic city that highlights the need for interdisciplinary interaction among researchers in apparently disparate fields, including ecology, forest botany, chemistry, biology, geology, sociology, economics, architecture, and engineering.​

Download or read book The City and Its Sciences written by Cristoforo S. Bertuglia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 915 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in the field of urban analysis and management are investigated in this book. It is a wide-ranging collection of essays on the subject drawn from a long-term project and seminar, held in Italy, to review the state of the art and speculate on the future influence on the "sciences of the city" of the complexity concept. Of particular interest is the variety of points of view, often contrasting, and the attempt to go beyond the conventional approaches to the analysis, and the planning of the city. While focussing mainly on the European (and in particular Italian) context, the discussion is of general relevance and valuable to anyone concerned with the prospects for the city in the new millenium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, showing virtuous examples of urban planning in Italy and Europe, exposes certain doubts and open questions: what is the new role of urban planning? What actions / rules are now achievable for the protection, planning and management of local-scale landscapes? The overall reflections gathered in the book contribute to suggest innovative visions about landscape planning at local scale, seen as first steps towards a more functional change of perspective. New landscapes are the result of local planning practices that no longer seem able to “understand” the current society through urban design. Public space and new urban centralities interact with the increasingly complex functions of social life and mark the distance from territorial values, relying less and less on physical relationships (economic and functional) and increasingly on symbolic and intangible relationships, as ‘cultural identity’. Landscape is essential for the sustainable future of the urban and rural territory: the landscape quality is a factor of economic competitiveness and acts also as a factor of social cohesion and integration.
