An Integrated Assessment Approach as a Decision Support System for Urban Planning and Urban Regeneration Policies

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper focuses on an integrated multi-methodological evaluation process; it aimed at supporting public administrators in developing alternative strategies for intervention in urban planning and urban regeneration processes that focus on abandoned urban areas located in a central position. In order to transform crisis areas into areas with new opportunities, starting with their redevelopment and enhancement, the article proposes a selection of evaluation tools that can support and steer the decision maker's choice of alternative scenarios for intervention. For this purpose, the contribution develops an integrated system of evaluation methodologies for decision-making support, which includes different components and a plurality of points of view, even of conflicting types, providing a more transparent description of the decision-making process. The methodological approach was applied to a pilot case study that concerned the choice of priority intervention between two abandoned and blighted areas located in the central area of the city of Reggio Calabria.

“…In addition, it should be noted that applications in urban and territorial policies are rather inadequate [26][27][28][29] and, as a consequence, the benefits that might result from their use are not sufficiently explored and tested.…”

“…Decision making processes related to interventions on the territory are characterized by an integration of many tools, such as SWOT analysis, with the aim of creating synergies and feasibility for the definition of complex territorial policies [64,65]. In this context, this model of analysis is a process providing systemically accessible information on a specific theme, such as ASFOs.…”

Land Consolidation Associations and the Management of Territories in Harsh Italian Environments: A Review

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:Land fragmentation is a phenomenon that reduces the mechanical management of agricultural and grazing lands and, consequently, leads to the abandonment of agricultural practices in harsh environments. It puts the agricultural and/or agro-pastoral businesses in a difficult situation as they have small surfaces to manage that do not allow for sufficient profit. Some worldwide land consolidation initiatives have been set up to reduce this phenomenon, such as land funds. In this context, this paper is dedicated to an Italian approach, which can be carried over to other realities, aimed at safeguarding and managing territories in harsh environments. This approach, known as the "Associazione Fondiaria (ASFO)", which can be roughly translated as "land consolidation association", consolidates small portions of abandoned land in a functional manner. Indeed, a land consolidation association not only stimulates new entrepreneurial agricultural activities, but is also able to create employment in depressed areas. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis was used to evaluate ASFOs, and their peculiarities were discussed.

“…For instance, one of us has indeed been recently involved in two projects facing Challenge 1 described above. The first project consisted in a multi-attribute location problem for a new parking area inside a UNESCO site (Ferretti, 2015). In this case, the participation-related challenge was faced by developing a stakeholder analysis with a power/interest matrix, which supported the identification of objectives and criteria to be later used in the decision making model.…”

“…In the previously mentioned project, concerning the selection of the best location for a new parking in a UNESCO site in Italy (Ferretti, 2015), the challenge related to the identification of the relevant objectives was tackled in the following way: the team organized a focus group with the key local stakeholders (i.e. we used public based sources) and employed a participatory and facilitated concept mapping session with them in order to identify the key values and their casual relations and subsequently derive the comprehensive list of relevant objectives and criteria (i.e.…”
