Inner areas are the most peripheral Italian municipalities and they are characterized by clear loss of both public and private services. They represent one of the relevant elements in national and regional planning policy and the Italian government has made available a fund (€ 100 million) for small municipalities up to 5000 inhabitants (Law n. 158/2017). These areas have gradually seen an evident process of marginalisation, which is difficult to evaluate because it is the result of several factors. This work describes an applied methodology for this marginality assessment on the Italian inner areas, which was developed through the quantification of eight criteria selected from Law n. 158/2017. The analysis carried out two different simulations for elaborating and mapping territorial disadvantages, with the use of GIS software and MATLAB. The analysis highlights an evident clustering in specific geographic areas. Moreover, this result confirms that there is a significant chaining of some typical issues of the small municipalities. This research represents a first analytical approach to evaluating the intervention priorities of regulatory instruments and national strategies and it is proposed as an innovative approach that introduces a profound change of attitude moving from an equality-based model to an equity-based model.

Recent Debate

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apoiar o debate recente sobre competitividade regional, com destaque à identificação de elementos chaves da competitividade sistêmica que possam orientar a formulação de políticas públicas e institucionais de desenvolvimento para a Região Metropolitana de Curitiba. A matriz de vantagens competitivas sistêmicas coloca-se como um instrumento analítico que permite uma avaliação rápida, sintética e objetiva da competitividade sistêmica regional, relevante para o apoio ao planejamento regional integrado. Para tanto se propõe, inicialmente, uma revisão teórica do debate sobre competitividade regional, enfatizando as novas vantagens competitivas locais, as economias de aglomeração, de aprendizado por interação e eficiência coletiva. A intenção, nesta primeira parte, é ressaltar os elementos (direcionadores e subfatores) que serão considerados na matriz, fornecendo ao aporte analítico um marco teórico mais consistente. Na seqüência, é apresentada a metodologia e a construção da matriz de vantagens competitivas sistêmicas, tomando como referência a Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, o que permite sustentar os destaques positivos e as questões mais críticas da competitividade sistêmica desta região. Abstract This essay aims at supporting the recent debate about regional competitiveness. It highlights the identification of key elements of systemic competitiveness that may guide the formulation of public and institutional development policies for the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. The matrix of systemic competitive advantages appears as an analytical instrument for a quick, concise and objective analysis of regional systemic competitiveness, which is relevant to support the integrated regional planning. First it proposes a theoretical review of the debate about regional competitiveness, emphasizing new local competitive advantages, economies of agglomerations, of learning through integration and of collective efficiency. It is intended, in the first part, to point out the elements considered by the matrix (directional and sub-factors), providing a consistent theoretical mark to the analytical approach. Next the methodology and the construction of the systemic competitive advantages are presented, having the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba as reference, making it possible to sustain the main positive points and the most crucial matters of systemic competitiveness of this region.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is classified as an information technology to solve various spatial problems in civil engineering. GIS provides spatial information to the system and therefore, complex spatial analysis of problem could be carried out. The objective of this paper is to promote the use of GIS as a tool for civil engineering problem solving. This paper describes the work undertaken to demonstrate the potential use of GIS in civil engineering via a prototype project. The presentation of this article is mainly focused on the applications of GIS in transportation engineering including transportation, highway and traffic. Moreover, this study could also contribute relevant and benefit guidance to the public and private sectors with techniques in determining potential activity using the GIS software. The utilisation of GIS can prepare and contributes towards a profitable cost and effective service. The end product should be an effective information system and a final potential GIS map. With GIS support, it could assist user to make a more effective and efficient decision on any difficulties that will arise. Compared to the conventional methods, the system provides a proper and an effective, update and accessible result of spatial analysis.

Commercial Purpose

The paper established a nexus between on-street commercial activities, associated environmental and hazard risks and environmental planning policy in Ado Ekiti. In order to achieve the objectives, a series of survey was carried out. This included site visitation, field observation, and collection of relevant data through questionnaire. A total number of 800 lock up shops were identified in various locations in the study area meant for various commercial purpose and a further 1200 slots were added for hawkers, market induced service operators, road side traders, members of Drivers’ Unions, passengers, pedestrians etc, bringing the total number to 2000 out of which 10% was sampled totaling 200 respondents in all. The two hundred respondents were randomly stratified from the Atikankan, old garage, Mathew, Irona, Ojumose, Oke-Iyinmi and Idolofin area. Out of the 200 questionnaires, only 199 were filled and returned. The study revealed that on-street commercial activities were responsible for several environmental problems and other hazards in the study area, thereby frustrating environmental planning policy. It is recommended that a more efficient rerouting of traffic along major high ways and around market locations must e adopted. Markets like Oba’s Market, Bisi Market, Erekesan Market should be developed to meet the global standard. Enough parking spaces should also be provided around these Markets to ease the commercial activities in the study area among others.

Common Vision

The Bieszczady mountains are one of the ranges of the Polish Carpathians. Their natural and cultural amenities attract thousands of Polish and international tourists each year. Despite many protected zones existing in this area (e.g. Bieszczadzki National Park, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Nature 2000 areas), the Bieszczady mountains face various environmental and social problems which have arisen from their dynamic but often chaotic tourism development. The lack of a common vision of long-term tourism development (on communal and regional levels) is one of the main challenging issues which public and private bodies are confronted with. The paper presents the results of the implementation of an innovative approach, i.e. the St. Gallen Model for Destination Management (SGDM), in selected Bieszczady communes. This method offers a clear advantage for key destination actors by allowing them to enter a process of holistic destination management. The article is the first attempt at SGDM application in Poland.

Hierarchy Process

This article reviewed selected works on how decision makers (DMs) utilize integrated geographic information system (GIS)/analytical hierarchy process (AHP) tools to analyze land suitability for sanitary landfill sites as part of regional planning. We analyzed the hierarchy process of certain pervious works to facilitate better understanding. The innovative work of Siddiqi et al. in 1996 highlighted the advantages of integrating AHP in GIS software and reviewed some limitations. The present paper explained the background study on multi-criteria decision analysis/aid (MCDA) so-called multi-criteria decision makers (MCDM) in conjunction with the advantages of GIS as a new remedy for utilizing the AHP weights of the decision makers. For this study we often use the term MCDA and MCDM.
