Book La ricerca tra innovazione  creativit   e progetto

Download or read book La ricerca tra innovazione creativit e progetto written by Roberto Bolici and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current socio-cultural scenario, the implementation of the university reform aimed at boosting third-level education calls for meditation within the discipline of Architectural Technology (ICAR 12). This review must address the research topics and academic profiles of PhD courses in the Technological Area, also in terms of fostering actions consistent with European strategic lines for the promotion of a knowledge society. Research, innovation, creativity and design are the keywords of this scenario that PhD students and lecturers must bear in mind when considering three fields of study: environmental design and landscape, building production and construction and works and services strategic for the community. This book "Research among innovation, creativity and design" develops the topics addressed during the VII OSDOTTA workshop (the network of PhD courses in the field of Architectural Technology) held at the Mantua campus of Milan Polytechnic on 15th-16th-17th September 2011.

Book La didattica laboratoriale nell   educazione ambientale

Download or read book La didattica laboratoriale nell educazione ambientale written by Adriano Sofo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'uomo come persona inserita in contesti culturali e sociali pervasi dai cambiamenti che riguardano tutti i settori si trova di fronte patrimoni ideologici che perdono di consistenza. La scuola assume un ruolo importante di spazio e crocevia per la formazione di una coscienza etica e civile di una società. Ma tale crocevia non si deve risolvere in una mera trasmissione di saperi che diano un'immagine di scuola improduttiva, deve piuttosto scoprire una natura antidogmatica ed antiautoritaria di formazione permanente. La realtà naturale non è li solo per essere osservata e catalogata, come se fosse un gigantesco libro da cui estrapolare il testo. La realtà deve essere scoperta, decodificata ed interpretata. L'ambiente visibile viene smontato e rimontato, scoperto e riscoperto per diventare campo di esperienze partecipative e creative. La scuola offre il proprio contributo in questo processo.

Book L educazione ambientale  Laboratori nella scuola primaria

Download or read book L educazione ambientale Laboratori nella scuola primaria written by Adriano Sofo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un mondo come quello odierno, caratterizzato da un ́enorme capacità di autodistruzione, imparare a vivere insieme rappresenta, forse, uno dei maggiori problemi dell ́educazione. E' perciò necessario concepire un ́educazione che contribuisca a prevenire i conflitti e/o ad affrontarli pacificamente, sollecitando e sostenendo il rispetto verso l ́altro: una nuova pedagogia. Un insegnamento capace di valorizzare la persona nella sua interezza e di favorirne gli apprendimenti anziché mortificarla ed ostacolarla, deve prendere vita all'interno di una relazione improntata alla stima ed alla comprensione: in tal modo può contribuire alla costruzione di un'identità solida e serena, ricca di armonia e di equilibrio interiore.

Book Urban Regionalisation Processes

Download or read book Urban Regionalisation Processes written by Francesco Lo Piccolo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the issues of transformation phenomena of the urban dimension (regionalization processes) that traditional scientific literature fails to describe appropriately. So far, scholars have adopted a widespread dominant perspective that proved unable to grasp the essence of post-modern complexities that urban spaces imply. The book provides a taxonomy, in order to describe the rules of these new and peculiar cities, by using the living dimension as a device for the epistemological breaking down of traditional socio-spatial analyses. After a thorough theoretical introduction, it describes two Sicilian case studies that prove particularly relevant to the construction of a new, alternative urban regionalization theory. These two areas, Palermo and South-Eastern Sicily, are described through several aspects, such as the role of migrants and migrations in defining urban regionalization, the power of fiction and the new urban forms that are slowly emerging in Sicily. Overall, this book provides a refreshing view of what Sicily has been and is becoming, by deconstructing most of its clichés and suggesting theoretical perspectives grounded in both quantitative and qualitative analyses.

Book World Development Report 2019

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Book Affordable Housing Governance and Finance

Download or read book Affordable Housing Governance and Finance written by Gerard Van Bortel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a large shortage of affordable housing across Europe. In high‐demand urban areas housing shortages lead to unaffordable prices for many target groups. This book explores innovations to support a sufficient supply of affordable and sustainable rental housing. Affordable housing is increasingly developed, financed and managed by a mix of market, state, third sector and community actors. Recent decades in large parts of the Western world have consecutively shown state-dominated, non-profit housing sectors, an increased role for market forces and the private sector, and the rise of initiatives by citizens and local communities. The variety of hybrid governance and finance arrangements is predicted to increase further, leading to new affordable housing delivery and management models. This book explores these innovations, with a focus on developments across Europe, and comparative chapters from the USA and Australia. The book presents new thinking in collaborative housing, co-production and accompanying finance mechanisms in order to support the quantity and the quality of affordable rental housing. Combining academic robustness with practical relevance, chapters are written by renowned housing researchers in collaboration with practitioners from the housing sector. The book not only presents, compares and contrasts affordable housing solutions, but also explores the transferability of innovations to other countries. The book is essential reading for researchers and professionals in housing, social policy, urban planning and finance.

Book WHO global air quality guidelines

Download or read book WHO global air quality guidelines written by Weltgesundheitsorganisation and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of these updated global guidelines is to offer health-based air quality guideline levels, expressed as long-term or short-term concentrations for six key air pollutants: PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. In addition, the guidelines provide interim targets to guide reduction efforts of these pollutants, as well as good practice statements for the management of certain types of PM (i.e., black carbon/elemental carbon, ultrafine particles, particles originating from sand and duststorms). These guidelines are not legally binding standards; however, they provide WHO Member States with an evidence-informed tool, which they can use to inform legislation and policy. Ultimately, the goal of these guidelines is to help reduce levels of air pollutants in order to decrease the enormous health burden resulting from the exposure to air pollution worldwide.
