“…For these purposes, the structured and rich coastal area in the territory of Siracusa, which attracts investments and tourism, with remarkable impacts on the real estate market prices expectations [10,11], differs significantly from the territory of Enna, which is rather introverted and much less rich also from the point of view of wealth capitalized in real estate [12]; its economy, originally focused mainly on the primary (agricultural, mining etc.) sector, is now growing also in the cultural heritage ones and numerous projects aimed at the territorial restructuring are now in progress [13].…”

In recent years, the scientific interest for the economic and landscape impact of wind farms has increased. This paper presents a useful GIS tool that allows for helping policymakers and investors to identify promising areas for wind power generation as well as landscape impact and financial and economic sustainability of wind farms. The results of the research carried out for exploring the potential for wind energy in two territorial contexts of Sicily region are presented with the particular look at the possibilities of economic developing, stakeholders’ opportunities and obstacles in the policy, legal, and regulatory framework.

“…Once integrated into the DCFA, the valuation of the environmental externalities from the building energy retrofit provides a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) [53,54]. The socio-economic externalities could be the external costs from the CO 2 emissions, or the external benefit from the reduction of CO 2 emissions.…”

Energy consumption in public buildings increased drastically over the last decade. Significant policy actions towards the promotion of energy efficiency in the building sector have been developed involving sustainable low-CO2-emission technologies. This paper presents the results of an economic–environmental valuation of a standard energy retrofit project for a public building in a Mediterranean area, integrating a life-cycle assessment (LCA) into the traditional economic–financial evaluation pattern. The study results show that simple retrofit of sustainable low-CO2-emission strategies such as wooden double-glazed windows, organic external wall insulation systems, and green roofs can reduce energy needs for heating and cooling by 58.5% and 33.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the implementation of an LCA highlights that the use of sustainable materials reduces the building’s carbon footprint index by 54.1% after retrofit compared to standard materials, thus providing an additional increase in the socio-environmental–economic–financial results of 18%. Some proposals are made about the accounting of the replacement costs and the residual value as requested in the logic of life-cycle cost (that is the economic extension of the LCA), namely concerning the method to take into account the replacement costs and the residual value. The economic calculation highlights the fundamental role played by tax benefits supporting the building energy retrofit, also in temperate climate zones, thus allowing the creation of environmental benefits in addition to remarkable cost savings.

“…In such an issue, the convergence and integration of efficiency and fairness [21,22] in PH appraisal and management can be considered the basis of "the true value" [23], i.e., the authentic value, which is the "raw material" for "true valuations", i.e., valuation that are reliable in validating projects specifically aimed at societal and environmental justice [24] in the perspective of urban sustainability [25][26][27].…”

Efficiency versus Fairness in the Management of Public Housing Assets in Palermo (Italy)

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Public housing policy has been proposing plans of public housing (PH) stock alienation or, as an alternative, property enhancement plans, since administrative and financial commitments have become too heavy for municipalities. This paper deals with one of the current public housing management policy initiatives, undertaken by the Municipality of Palermo (Italy), which aimed at transferring a significant part of the public housing asset to the current tenants, according to some terms and conditions, and applying a politically fixed price. This policy is described in general, focusing on the amount of the assets involved, reporting the terms and conditions for transferring them at an affordable price, and analysing their concentration/distribution in the urban areas. The main aim of the paper is to provide a valuation pattern for defining the trade-off between the efficiency and fairness of such a tool, recognising the conditions for the consistency between the transfer price established by municipality, the merit of the public housing asset, and the market value. A detailed study on two representative neighbourhoods was carried out in order to measure the value of solidarity of this policy and to propose some corrective rules.
