This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the opportunities offered by Strategic Environmental Assessment in the context of guaranteeing the synchronized integration of landscape (in all its aspects) within urban plans, thereby helping to overcome the constraints of rigidly framed, sector-focused laws and a purely aesthetic concept of landscape. In pursuit of this goal, various scholars have previously attempted to construct arrays of indicators relating to the different conceptions of “landscape”. This book critically examines the most complete proposals of this nature, systematizing and comparing them and, finally, offering some guidelines with respect to their codification within specific application protocols. After opening chapters exploring the origins of the problem and analysing the European normative frame for Strategic Environmental Assessment, two case studies are described and discussed. A model is then presented for the evaluation of the effects of urban plans on landscape, including in cultural and perceptual terms. The author demonstrates that, when suitably employed, Strategic Environmental Assessment can indeed facilitate the integration of environmental, economic, and social sustainability into urban planning.

This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers a selection of research contributions on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), including theoretical and methodological studies and real-world case studies. It sheds new light on the respective steps in the procedure defined in the SEA Directive from theoretical and operational standpoints, intended to enhance the sustainability of plans and programmes adopted by local, regional and national authorities. Improving the legitimacy and transparency of decision-making in the field of environmental management was one of the goals that led the European Commission (EU) to adopt Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of environmental programmes’ effects. This book provides a multidisciplinary approach to SEA, and addresses the demand for policies and strategies to strengthen resilience through concrete measures to reduce energy consumption, mitigate pollution, promote social inclusion and create urban identity.

Download or read book Landscape Indicators written by Claudia Cassatella and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 228 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per questo, oggi l'acqua viene sempre di più considerata alla stregua di un bene di consumo, che possiede un suo valore economico, e che per questo è diventato sempre di più un oggetto di dispute legali, sociali e politiche. Con la crescita della popolazione del pianeta, poi, e con l'aumento delle attività umane, i fabbisogni di acqua tendono ad aumentare e con essa anche l'alterazione delle sue qualità chimiche, fisiche e biologiche.Il presente lavoro, facendo riferimento ad un percorso di ricerca basato su un'ampia trattazione della problematica dell'inquinamento idrico, mira perciò ad acquisire una serie di elementi che possano non solo costituire le basi di una efficace attività educativa, ma che possano anche generare nuove e diverse sensibilità, sia verso l'uso delle risorse idriche, sia soprattutto nei confronti di tutte le problematiche dell'ecologia in generale.

This book was released on 2012-04-16T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La valutazione ambientale strategica (VAS), il cui significato in termini normativi nella legislazione italiana andrà, nel breve periodo, definito attraverso opportuni atti legislativi, è, già da tempo, una procedura, o, forse meglio, un orizzonte concettuale, molto importante per le valutazioni ex ante, in itinere ed ex post della definizione, gestione ed attuazione delle politiche del territorio. Di particolare rilievo, metodologico e pratico, è il “rapporto ambientale”, definito ai sensi dell'art. 5 della Direttiva 2001/42/CE del Parlamento europeo e del Consiglio sulla VAS, concernente la valutazione degli effetti di determinati piani e programmi sull'ambiente. La VAS rappresenta, sostanzialmente, una risposta articolata, complessa e qualificata alle esigenze che si riconoscono nella riflessione corrente sulle problematiche dello sviluppo sostenibile in rapporto alla valutazione delle ricadute territoriali delle politiche di investimento pubblico dell'Unione Europea.

Book excerpt: In questo lavoro “Progettare Paesaggio, Landscape as Infrastructure” si confrontano: da un lato le stimolanti proposte progettuali redatte dal gruppo di studenti della Harvard Graduate School of Design guidati dalla docente Paola Cannavò; dall’altro l’analisi del territorio portuense ed ostiense e delle possibili future trasformazioni del contesto paesaggistico determinate dai progetti infrastrutturali, in fase di realizzazione o di valutazione, con ipotesi di linee guida per la riqualificazione e la valorizzazione di questa area, intesa come complesso palinsesto storico e paesaggistico, al fine di rendere evidenti le modalità procedurali di quella reale tutela attiva e dinamica del paesaggio affidata al Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali e da sempre svolta. [ANTONIA P. RECCHIA – Direttore Generale, Direzione Generale per il paesaggio, le belle arti, l’architettura e l’arte contemporanee, MiBAC] The project “Progettare Paesaggio, Landscape as Architecture” combines the inspiring design proposals drafted by a group of students of the Harvard Graduate School of Design headed by the teacher Paola Cannavò with a study of the portuense and ostiense areas and how the landscape might change due to the construction of new infrastructure, either being completed or in the design stage. The study includes guidelines for the requalification and enhancement of the area considered as a complex historical landscape; it also highlights the past and present active and dynamic protection measures and procedures adopted by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. [ANTONIA P. RECCHIA – Director General, Directorate General for the landscape, fine arts, architecture and contemporary art, MiBAC] “Questa pubblicazione e la ricerca progettuale qui documentata, propongono una opportuna testimonianza delle sfide contemporanee della forma urbana, del processo ecologico e dello sviluppo economico affrontato dalla capitale italiana.” “Evidenziando gli impulsi complessi e contraddittori di tipo ecologico ed economico di un paesaggio portuale attivo, Cannavò propone un nuovo ruolo chiave per l’architettura del paesaggio come strumento urbanistico. Così facendo promuove una posizione italiana all’interno del dibattito contemporaneo sul Landscape Urbanism e l’Ecological Urbanism fornendo al contempo una prospettiva futura per l’urbanistica, anche nell’area di Fiumicino.” [CHARLES WALDHEIM – Direttore, Dipartimento di Architettura del Paesaggio, Harvard Graduate School of Design] “This publication, and the design research that it documents, offers timely evidence of the contemporary challenges of urban form, ecological process, and economic development faced by the Italian capital.” “Highlighting the complex and contradictory ecological and economic impulses of a working port landscape, Cannavò proposes a renewed relevance for landscape architecture as a medium of urbanism. In so doing, she stakes an Italian position in the contemporary discourses of landscape urbanism and ecological urbanism, while pointing to a way forward for urbanism, even in the fields of Fuimicino.” [CHARLES WALDHEIM – Chair, Department of Landscape Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design]

Book excerpt: La Direttiva Europea sulla Valutazione ambientale strategica (VAS) è del 2001, la legge italiana di recepimento del 2006 mentre numerose regioni hanno approvato leggi con logiche normative e procedurali differenti. A oltre dieci anni dalla sua introduzione rimangono ancora ampiamente incompiuti o irrisolti diversi aspetti metodologici, procedurali, normativi. La portata innovativa della VAS si esplica in un processo di attuazione che richiede non solo nuove competenze e capacità tecniche, ma anche l’attivazione di approcci e metodi cognitivi non consolidati nel processo di governo del territorio. Nella prospettiva di promuoverne una maggiore efficacia, anche alla luce del rapporto tra strumento tecnico di valutazione e processo decisionale di carattere politico orientato alla pianificazione, il volume raccoglie contributi di studiosi e tecnici organizzati in tre sezioni tematiche: norme, esperienze, efficacia. Un pamphlet su significato e utilità della VAS nel governo del territorio che, tenendo conto dell’attuale dinamica di mutamento del paradigma dominante di crescita verso un modello nuovo, dovrà sempre più essere rivolto all’attuazione dei principi di miglioramento della qualità della vita e di sostenibilità dei processi di sviluppo territoriale.

This book was released on 2016-02-07T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elemento di significativa innovazione che la Valutazione ambientale strategica (VAS) propone al campo disciplinare della pianificazione territoriale è l'impostazione plurale e partecipativa del processo valutativo, che si pone non come esogeno rispetto al processo stesso, ma come parte qualificante e fondante. Una partecipazione che non è prerogativa di pochi, che non è il teatrino, falso e autoreferenziale, di processi decisionali già sviluppati e sostanzialmente conclusi attraverso negoziazioni fuori dal controllo della pubblica opinione, e, come tali, facilmente caratterizzate dalla dialettica fra gli interessi di pochi. La VAS, che fonda il processo di piano e si identifica con esso, è pianificazione/valutazione di comunità, è metodo e prassi di community visioning. La scala dei problemi da affrontare è, naturalmente, questione fondamentale da analizzare e tenere presente, nella progettazione del processo. Si tratta di generare un movimento di discussione pubblico in cui le istanze, le opinioni, i bisogni, si manifestino, soprattutto in termini di diversità e conflittualità, cosí da far sí che il processo di community visioning abbia una base solida e riconosciuta nella sintesi della discussione mediatica sviluppata. Il processo di VAS delineato dalla Direttiva 2001/42/CE si configura come occasione importantissima di sperimentazione di nuove metodologie di governance territoriale, in cui l'interazione cooperativa tra pubblica amministrazione, comunità scientifica, professionisti e società locali, gioca un ruolo fondamentale per l'efficacia dei processi.
