This paper reports the case of one district of Verona, precisely Veronetta, located near the historical center of the town, that shows broad sociospatial dynamics. Given its territorial history, the compresence of attraction and repulsion factors as well as the recent pushes exerted by movements carried out by active citizenship (such as the spontaneous aggregation in a social street, the subsidiarity pacts, or the community cinema project), Veronetta reveals all the richness and criticality of a portion of the town looking for a definition of its meaning in the wider context of the urban area.

Abstract. On 9 October 1963 a catastrophic landslide suddenly occurred on the southern slope of the Vaiont dam reservoir. A mass of approximately 270 million m3 collapsed into the reservoir generating a wave that overtopped the dam and hit the town of Longarone and other villages nearby. Several investigations and interpretations of the slope collapse have been carried out during the last 45 years, however, a comprehensive explanation of both the triggering and the dynamics of the phenomenon has yet to be provided. In order to re-evaluate the currently existing information on the slide, an electronic bibliographic database and an ESRI-geodatabase have been developed. The chronology of the collected documentation showed that most of the studies for re-evaluating the failure mechanisms were conducted in the last decade, as a consequence of knowledge, methods and techniques recently acquired. The current contents of the geodatabase will improve definition of the structural setting that influenced the slide and led to the the propagation of the displaced rock mass. The objectives, structure and contents of the e-bibliography and Geodatabase are indicated, together with a brief description on the possible use of the alphanumeric and spatial contents of the databases.

This paper is based on a prospective scenario of development of rainwater harvesting (RWH) on a given large urban area (such as metropolitan area or region). In such a perspective, a new method is proposed to quantify the related potential of potable water savings (PPWS) indicator on this type of area by adapting the reference model usually used on the building level. The method is based on four setting-up principles: gathering (definition of buildings-types and municipalities-types), progressing (use of an intermediate level), increasing (choice of an upper estimation) and prioritizing (ranking the stakes of RWH). Its application to the Paris agglomeration shows that is possible to save up to 11% of the total current potable water through the use of RWH. It also shows that the residential sector offers the most important part because it holds two-thirds of the agglomeration PPWS.

What do people make of places? In the present article, I pursue this question from the perspective of a peculiar polysemy in the definition of places found among the inhabitants of the small Romanian industrial town of Copşa Mică. Copşa Mică suffers conditions so extreme that, analytically speaking, the town can be described as a zone - that is, as a limited area in which the conditions are such that normal limitations do not apply; thus, zone refers to a line that in a way effaces all lines, a boundary that negates all pronounced boundaries. What do we find instead? The local construction of safe ground reaches deeply into various cultural spheres, particularly into a moral order, by which the questions of where to stay and who is where are replaced to a certain extent by who is places - who is entitled to make them count as so different that it makes a difference? As a result, the local surroundings place themselves, so to speak, as contradictions brought to light in polysemous definitions such as: wherever it is safe, it is also exceptionally unsafe.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The object of the study is the survey of minor historic settlements through integrated architectural survey techniques, the BIM modelling for the management of information at multiple levels, and the definition of pattern books to describe the qualities of the place. The research on cultural heritage representation made in Umbria, taking as a case study the historic hamlet of Lizori, a settlement located over the hill between Foligno and Spoleto in the town of Campello sul Clitunno (PG). It was selected as a paradigm of minor village and an experimental model to provide useful reference to reconstruct strategies, which is so important in the area recently affected by seismic events. The purpose of the research is therefore focused on finding a modus operandi in the management of multiple and uneven information. The goal is then to create a digital informative model functional to the conservation and restoration process and a knowledge-based reference for further study.</p>

Este artigo mostra uma metodologia analítica aplicada ao estudo de clima urbano, inspirada no Urban Climate Map (UC-Map). Foram utilizados uma série de camadas de informação espacial, medições climáticas e conhecimento do clima urbano para avaliar e mapear o potencial térmico e dinâmico em área urbana, visando identificar diferentes campos térmicos. As informações foram agrupadas em quatro eixos principais, a saber densidade construtiva, albedo, cobertura vegetal e altimetria. A proposta metodológica foi aplicada para a cidade de Juiz de Fora-MG, uma área urbana de médio porte, localizada em uma região de mares de morros, na qual fatores como declividade e altitude são importantes no potencial térmico e dinâmico. O resultado da aplicação desta metodologia converge com os dados experimentais e evidencia os efeitos do uso do solo, dos materiais construtivos e do fluxo de pessoas e mercadorias na definição de diferentes campos térmicos. Evidencia que a distribuição e o tamanho da cobertura vegetal, além da amplitude da ventilação, interferem e proporcionam ambientes mais frescos e, portanto, reduzem o armazenamento de calor. A metodologia apresentada é simples de aplicar e pode ser adaptada para outras áreas urbanas com características semelhantes às de Juiz de Fora-MG.  Methodological Propose Applied to The Urban Climate Study A B S T R A C TThis article shows an analytical methodology applied to the urban climate study, inspired by the Urban Climate Map (UC-Map). A series of layers of spatial information, climate measurements and knowledge of the urban climate were used to evaluate and map the thermal and dynamic potential in an urban area, in order to identify different thermal fields. The information was grouped into four main axes, namely constructive density, albedo, vegetation cover and altimetry. The methodological proposal was applied to the city of Juiz de Fora-MG, a medium-sized urban area, located in a region of sea of hills, in which factors such as slope and altitude are important in the thermal and dynamic potential. The result of the application of this methodology converges with the experimental data and evidences the effects of the use of the soil, constructive materials and the flow of people and merchandise in the definition of different thermal fields. It shows that the distribution and size of the vegetation cover, besides the amplitude of the ventilation interfere and provide fresher environments and therefore reduce the storage of heat. The methodology presented is simple to apply and can be adapted to other urban areas with characteristics similar to those of Juiz de Fora-MG.Keywords: Thermal fields, urban climate, spatial model, urban climate map, dynamic potential.

AbstractIn the United Kingdom, environmental protection is based on a dual approach. Guidelines and voluntary action have generally proved effective but, increasingly, Community of Europe directives as well as public pressure are resulting in legislation.Water pollution is largely regulated by Part II of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 and odour by the Public Heath Act 1936 and subsequent subsidiary legislation. Planning is controlled under the Town and Country Planning Acts and dependent General Development Orders. The Order relevant to agriculture is being amended to bring in a greater measure of planning requirement where piggeries are near human housing. Alongside these laws, the Ministry has produced a Code of Good Agricultural Practice and Guidelines on Housed Livestock to establish appropriate standards.Other countries are also developing their legislative control, most notably Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark. It is notable that, although the ‘polluter pays principle’ is often referred to, all countries have found practical problems in any simple-minded attempt to apply the principle to the effects of animal farming.The paper reviews these areas in detail and suggests that research is needed on the effects of small quantities of straw on slurry systems and to produce a definition of the minimum of straw needed for welfare purposes. Other research which is already in hand is also mentioned.

In the town of Brescia, Roman buildings and the urban infrastructure remained relatively intact until the 6th c. However, during the 6th and 7th c., the town underwent a series of transformations. Focusing on the eastern part of the city, this paper examines the transformations that occurred within monumental public buildings and domestic buildings, the appearance of artisanal activities in the urban area, and of burials in zones of residential occupation. It is argued that these developments did not result from changes in attitudes and values among the population but rather were controlled and instigated by a central authority based in the episcopal and later ducal complex on the western side of the city.

AbstractBy looking at the fierce debates in the city of Carlsbad in Bohemia around the fabrication of medical salt by a local doctor, David Becher, from 1763 to 1784, the paper examines the interactions between different spheres or levels of circulation of knowledge in the Habsburg Empire. The dispute crystallized around the definition of the product, about its medical qualities and its relation with the water of the local mineral spring. The city's inhabitants contested the vision of the medical experts, fearing that the extraction of the medical salt from the spring water and its sale outside the town would have a negative effect on the number of visitors to the spa. Their vision implied a more or less ‘popularized’ form of alchemical thinking as it identified the mineral water with the extracted ‘salt’, conceived as the ‘essence’ of the water, produced by evaporation. The Carlsbad salt dispute highlights the complex interactions among the different networks in which knowledge circulated through the Habsburg Empire in the eighteenth century. The different actors relied on specific networks with different logics of discourse and different modes of circulation. In each case the relation between the local, the regional and the imperial had to be negotiated. The paper thus sketches out the different geographies of knowledge in the Habsburg Empire but also its localization in and around Carlsbad.
