The paper explains the research address that constitutes the horizon of the Project of Strengthening Technological Research MITO (Multimedia Information for Territorial Objects). MITO highlights the concept of co-evolution of spatial data infrastructure (SDI), with the disciplinary innovation. It represents an interesting case of implementation of the European Directives INSPIRE, aiming at reconciling the information-flows with the interdisciplinary nature of the territorial sciences, in a broader conception (environment, architecture and settlements, real estate, land). The SDI Network (funded with € 10,000,000 per eight laboratories) represents this attempt. Downstream of the description of the aims and content of general research, this paper illustrates, in a wider detail, the addresses, the synergies and the research activities of "monitoring labs" dedicated to the evaluation of the environment, the land use and the real estate in the MITO-Lab DICAR in the Polytechnic of Bari.

Over the last decade, social, economic and fiscal factors have produced structural modifications of the Italian real estate market, that currently appears as a complex system characterized by continuous transformation. In this context, the use of tools for the forecast of real estate values has become essential for sector operators (buyers, sellers, institutions, insurance companies, banks, etc.). Analysing a sample of residential properties recently sold within the real estate market of Bari, the aim of this paper is to test the artificial neural networks for the construction of evaluation models

More and more territorial policies put the attention on the reuse of existing buildings, in order to preserve the land from further consumption of soil. The attention is oriented to objects as diverse as regards as age, use, allocation and the possibility of transformation and conservation. Brownfield sites, historical centers, social housing built in the second half of the last century, public goods subject to alienation, are the focus and the core of development hypoteses. The feasibility of the exploitation of the bult environment is not a foregone conclusion. Social benefits (in the name of which we work) and indents economic-financial public and private entities are characterized by a complex definition. This complexity has increased the focus on traditional economic valuation methodologies and, at the same time, has spurred new thinking for innovation in the field of real estate appraisal and evaluation of projects in more uncertain contexts of the past. In this regard The paper presents a case on the heritage of city centers and to its enhancement.

Il volume delinea gli aspetti innovativi che stanno caratterizzando gli odierni processi di trasformazione urbana e territoriale a partire dalle più lontane esperienze del "rinnovo urbano" avviate già negli anni trenta del secolo scorso in Gran Bretagna. L'attenzione poi si sposta sui temi nuovi che gli odierni interventi di rigenerazione hanno messo in evidenza, temi come la sostenibilità economica, ambientale e sociale delle operazioni sul territorio, che sostengono la crescita di città ecologiche ed inclusive.

La gestione del conflitto tra istanze ambientali ed energetiche. Pianificazione territoriale e declinazioni progettuali nell’uso di impianti fotovoltaici. Le giuste sinergie ed i giusti rapporti tra governo del territorio e corretto inserimento delle fonti rinnovabili in un contesto energetico in cambiamento, il cui fine ultimo è quello di perseguire il principio della sostenibilità per promuovere emissioni low-carbon.

The paper represent a check of the use of multicriteria evaluation in order to add a qualitative evaluation to the traditional quantitative measure of the sustainability of soil consumption. The experiment starts analysing all deriv- ing measure from measures of different typology of soil consumption and land use as criteria to evaluate which part of urbanised land is more expendable for land transformation. This application results quite interestin g when utilised to create a set of indi- cators useful for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), as instrument of measuring impact and of monitoring future urban development The work is subdivided at the urban scale in three different stages. The setting of measures, the creation of complex indicators as basis for evaluation criteria, the classification of priority n soil consumption. Results show the opportunity of den- sification inside existing settlements, but they extend the utility of the evaluation in profiling measures for tegional policies of containment of soil consumption.

The environmental and social costs of the extensive and intensive development of new areas not yet built are increasingly relevant . For this reason land use decisions are increasingly oriented to consider the development of the city from its existing perimeter , giving up models that generate urban sprawl. It is also being used increasingly in urban redevelopment - but it requires substantial financial resources that in times of economic hardship are difficult to find by the individual municipal administrations . Therefore, the public-private partnership becomes an important way forward, not for ideological choice, by certain administrations and researchers, to achieve program objectives and design of all involved subjects. With new knowledge provided by Geo-analysis, more than 37% of Italian housing property was carried out between 1946 and 1971 and that about all of this amount is currently in poor or very poor condition . And ' possible to speak of " the city to be scrapped ". The papers show a geo-statistic analysis aiming at finding best for urban renewal by the plus-value recapture of property, deriving from a plan for urban densification

The paper shows the use of GIS and other program to identify the technical and economic feasibility of a self-sufficient community in energy supply/demand, through the integration of ICT, intelligent infrastructure (smart grid) and the economic analysis of energy market constrains in housing property management, at the urban level. Here we report the development of a new methodology for assessing the potential capacity and benefits of installing rooftop photovoltaic systems in an urbanized area. It has been possible to analyze the climatic, morpho-typological and architectural characters of the place, in order to identify the optimal size and shape of rooftop area available for solar energy applications at different scales, looking for a minimum threshold to be discovered via an economic break-even point analysis. Computer simulation is included to predict the potential benefits of urban scale photovoltaic system implementation

The first part of the paper provides an overview of urban rent recapture and equalization today and the application of Transfer Development Rights (TDR) mechanism. Below, in the second part, staring from the definition of spatial data infrastructure you try to give an account of the importance that has the support of GIS in planning, and consequently in the analysis of possible forms of compensation in terms of equalization. Finally the third part will provide information on the sources necessary for the construction of automatic procedures for the analysis of transfer of building rights. The last part is devoted entirely to the illustration of a case study, and some hypotheses for implementation. It is provided of specifications for the routines used for analysis in a GIS environment, and explains the process of decision, which, once supported the findings of gis routines, lead towards a prelude to Transfer Development Rights.

Nelle esperienze su cui si basa il “racconto” di questo contributo, la principale riflessione relativa al ruolo delle metodologie di valutazione deve essere rivolta alla rilevanza che esse hanno assunto nel processo di costruzione di conoscenza (Besio, 1994). La conoscenza, infatti, delle dinamiche del piano, delle analisi in esso contenute, diventa la base fondamentale per l’avvio di un processo adattivo, creativo (Zeleny 1994) nel quale la valutazione, in assenza di regole metodologiche decodificate da norme, tende ad una de-costruzione e ri-costruzione del quadro delle conoscenze già disponibili, a volte attingendo informazioni dagli esiti di bilanci Applicazioni della Valutazione ambientale strategica ai piani/programmi regionali e locali 63 partecipativi, di rapporti ambientali, già prodotti in altri processi (come Agenda 21 o pianificazione strategica), o dal piano stesso nelle sue fasi preliminari. Tale attività valutativa non può che essere fondata su una forma di sapere critico che consente un corretto utilizzo delle metodologie, oltre che su una visione non statica del processo valutativo stesso, di certo non relegato ad un mero momento nell’orizzonte delle decisioni. La normativa sulla Valutazione Ambientale Strategica, dalla scala Europea a quella regionale, ha “istituzionalizzato” il processo di costruzione di conoscenza, per fasi, secondo uno schema che ricorda molto l’approccio razionale al piano. In questo processo di costruzione di conoscenza si evidenziano,come illustrato attraverso gli esempi: • il differente peso che le varie fasi della procedura di valutazione ambientale strategica hanno passando dalla scala regionale a quella locale; • il conseguente peso che le fasi più rilevanti hanno per il monitoraggio e il controllo di coerenza di piani settoriali e locali; • le conseguenze sul piano della valutazione, della declinazione della stessa in chiave processuale, secondo la sequenza valutazione strategica- valutazione tattica- valutazione operativa.

Spatial analytical techniques and geographical analysis and modelling methods are required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all levels. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. Geographic Information Analysis for Sustainable Development and Economic Planning: New Technologies tackles topics related to, to-date development of Geographic Information in terms of the technologies available for retrieving, managing, and analyzing geographical data. This book is useful for academic staff, as well as postgraduate students (MSc, PhD levels) in GIS, remote sensing, economic geography, spatial planning, geostatistics, and related fields.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a major policy evaluation tool, for institutional processes, when they need to cope with fundamental risks, give voice to non-human agents, manage commons, and address environmental justice. The interplay of SEA with planning, unravels key issues and criticalities in both urban governance and environmental democracy. How can evaluation be developed to support the process? Structured evaluation methods applied in environmental assessment are maybe not sufficient to solve complex social conflicts. We point out some key reflections with the aim of opening up the discussion, by taking the case study of the environmental assessment of pollutant activities in the main industrial port cities of Southern Italy. They represent, at the moment, the most significant social criticality in our country, related to the interplay between environmental assessment and risk for labor. The paper focuses on the case study by mentioning the evolution of some thoughts about the red stripe that links sustainability, environmental democracy, and social evaluation, and illustrates the issues of these aspects in the case study, with the aim of underlining the difficulty of environmental assessment tools as a major support for planning processes, when social conflicts arise.

The paper explains a procedure to discover the coherence of the relationship between physical distance and real estate value variation. Many author consider (both in the past and in the recent time) the possibility that real estate value can depend on distance from some central point. Such convintion lead to the use of geostatistical approaches based on kriging techniques. In the same time literature teach that the market shows a higher value where several amenities are coexisting. But in those urban realities where the number of central points and the number of amenities is high, the complexity does not support the construction of models, and this complexity leads to a different concept of identity as synthesis of distance, borders and concentration. The use of fuzzy cluster can support the analysis. The paper gives a brief example about how this works in the case of New York core.

The paper shows as "Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)” can be considered as an essential “decision support system", supported by a systematic process for evaluating the environmental issues of plans and programs. It is shown how in coastal areas, with strong characters of mutability, the assessment procedure must be able to adapt environmental protection and local development and monitoring of feedbacks assumes critical importance. The issues of monitoring and modeling with spatial data infrastructure have been applied to the Coastal Plan of the Apulia Region: a possibility has been explored to implement the analysis of environmental sensitivity and propensity to Coastal erosion due to the level of human pressure on land. The system is based on assessing pressures due to different land uses; such assessment can be integrated without great difficulty with the analysis of criticality and sensitivity provided by the plan. Essential tools to aid the monitoring system are represented by an effective geographic information system for consulting and obtaining the necessary data and analysis from a methodological point of view by AHP

The chapter tells about a procedure for investigating the coherence of the relationship between a “wide” mean of distance and the geography of real estate value. Many authors consider that real estate value can depend on distance from some reference point, and its variation can be linear. Such conviction leads to the use of geostatistical approaches based on kriging techniques. At the same time, the literature teaches that the market shows a higher value where several amenities are coexisting. But in those urban realities where the number of central points and the number of amenities is high, the complexity does not support the construction of models, and this complexity leads to a different concept of identity as synthesis of distance, borders, and concentration. The use of fuzzy cluster can support the analysis. This chapter gives a brief example about how this works in the case of New York core.

Il contenimento del consumo di suolo costituisce un obiettivo ampiamente condiviso in pressoché tutte le nuove legislazioni regionali di governo del territorio. Tuttavia tale principio non sempre è stato il motore di efficaci politiche di limitazione espansiva. La rigenerazione parte dal migliore uso e riuso dell'esistente, anche per limitare il consumo del nuovo. In questo contributo si illustra una riflessione critica, applicata ad un caso di studio, su alcune metodologie di analisi e di politica compensativa, per il contenimento del consumo di suolo

This paper tells about a procedure for investigating the coherence of the relationship between a “wide” concept of spatial distance and the geographical variation of real estate value. Such coherence is analyzed taking a special attention to the “multiple identity”. That characterizes some urban places. Many authors consider that real estate value of similar housing units can depend mainly on distance from some reference points; furthermore, its variation can be considered roughly linear. On this basis the use of geo-statistical approaches based on kriging techniques has been developed in mass appraisal. A second relevant point of view underlines the relationship between the presence of higher real estate value in those places where several amenities are coexisting. But in those urban realities where the number of central points and the number of amenities are high, the complexity does not support the construction of models, and this complexity leads to a different concept of identity as synthesis of distance, borders and concentration. In this complexity maybe further aspect can arise. In the case of study, that is to say New York, it is possible to investigate the effect of racial steering on ethnic dissemination and real estate variation. Born as a symbol of racial discrimination, in the nowadays city it assumes an identity character that affect in a singular way the housing market. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate this hypothesis.

This paper verifies the existence of relationships between specific features of the agrarian landscape of ancient olive trees in the park territory of six municipalities in the Region of Puglia, Italy, and the economic activity of the areas concerned. This has the scope of exploring developmental opportunities, whether already put into place, or potentially active. It develops and verifies theoretical approaches and empirical experiences which propose processes of territorial exploitation and local development as pathways for the identification and utilization of both the differences and distinctive characteristics of the territory itself, toward the creation of a “value added territory” as the basis for development. Agriculture tends to be presented in terms of the “care and culture” of the territory: not only the appropriate production of primary goods, ecological and locally characterized but also the contextualized production of land and environment. In this paper, the authors use the concept of the park from the perspective of innovation: no longer referring to the concept of environmental protection and preservation as a defensive action, but creating a synthesis between the productive enhancement of open spaces alongside the upgrading of environmental systems, the built environment and environmental, and cultural development.

The paper speaks about an experiment about the possibility to identify areas for transfer of development rights,with the aim of contain the soil consumption. The scope is to densify existing settlements. In order to apply a equalitarian rule, an analysis of a equal measure of urban sprawl in the nearest surroundings of a given settlement has been carried out with the application of smoothing techniques. The application generated different levels of soil consumption, that suggests different densification degrees, than can be applied flexibly in various urban context

The environmental damage due to industrial pollution activities to produce the adaptations in the behavior of economic agents involved: if there is a decrease of environmental quality, it may lead to a negative change in real estate market values, identified the quantities and the prices of traded goods.Starting from these considerations a situation analysis was carried out about three municipalities of Apulia Region (Brindisi, Bari and Taranto), which are affected by major environmental industrial detractors. The “Federico II” coal power plant and the Coal Docks in the harbour of Brindisi, the presence of the “Fibronit” Asbestos plant, in which the production of asbesto-cement mixed materials has ceased but the site has partially been cleanup in Bari, and the presence of the “ILVA” steel plant in Taranto. Since the verifications that the presence of these plants led a negative impact on nearby real estate value, the case of Taranto has been studied and, through the estimate of the impact of the perceived health damage on real estate market variation, the value of the property of the District “Tamburi” and other neighborhoods adjacent to the industrial area has been quantified. If they had not been affected by the same pole, thereby arriving at an estimate of the decrease of the real estate value by the use of damage estimate of the externality on real estate market, as the difference between the values that could be in the absence and in the presence of the perceived industrial risk. Thus reversing some considerations that the possible upgrade or change the destination could generate economic benefits for the same areas.

In Italy , for 20 years , governments that have taken place , they tried to reduce the public deficit through the sale of part of the public property . The results , to date, have been modest, for a set of reasons, including the difficulty of organizing appropriate sales plans. In the case of public residential properties , sales programs are easier, more complex is the case of other public goods, such as the military bases disused. In these cases , for the purpose of sale, a number of factors come into play, from the conditions in which they are places and buildings, and finally to the future transformation that may receive. A frequent mistake to place on the market these goods, evaluating the price based on the prices of goods only in theory similar compared: permeable soil sand devoid of buildings assessed as farm land, the buildings as urban property. It is not a correct approach, because the land, buildings and any other building structure present in military bases, require extensive work of transformation to be allocated to new uses.

The environmental damage due to industrial pollution activities to produce the adaptations in the behaviour of economic agents involved: if there is a decrease of environmental quality, it may lead to a negative change in real estate market values, identifying the quantities and the prices of traded goods. Starting from these considerations, a situation analysis was carried out about three municipalities of Apulia Region (Brindisi, Bari and Taranto), which are affected by major environmental industrial detractors. In particular the case of Taranto has been studied and the value of the property of the district 'Tamburi' and other neighbourhoods adjacent to the industrial area has been quantified. If they had not been affected by the same pole, thereby, arriving at an estimate of the decrease of the real estate value by the use of damage estimate of the externality on real estate market.

Our work is concerned with reconstructing the links between democracy and the environment, by targeting urban governance and tapping into the institutional practices of Urban Planning and Environmental Evaluation. Among institutional evaluation processes, Strategic Environmental Assessment is a major policy tool, and its interplay with planning unravels key issues in both urban governance and environmental democracy, including coping with fundamental risks, voicing nonhuman agents, managing commons and addressing environmental justice. Participation often languishes in institutional arenas, yet it thrives in other forms that affect decision-making. Negotiation around individual planning processes should be framed in the general governance arrangements that are constantly reshaped. In mainstreaming new policy tools (such as SEA), procedural aspects are usually stressed, How can evaluation be developed to support the process? We point to some key references with the aim of opening up the discussion, by taking for example the case of Industrial Port Cities in Southern Italy.

The story of public policies and urban development plans is characterized by continuous deals, is affected by an dynamic institutional counterbalance among actors, a political re-formulation of actions that relevantly reduce the affordability of forecasts of success. The interaction among different actors affects the designed path of change, and the negotiation can change strategies, can accelerate or delay pieces of the predicted urban development and consequently modify the flow of positive/negative economic effect, according to the prevalence of one actor on the other inside the different step of the process. Since game theory to perspective theory economic literature describes each actor as afraid of losing the advantage obtained in a process, even in the case of urban transformation when another manages to get one more for himself. The relationship between major advantage of someone and less advantage of some other is relevant when two parties are in competition each other. In this paper a weighting system is applied to actors’ view of reciprocal i8mportance, trying to understand who is going to affect more effectively the bargaining in a complex urban development process.

During the centuries, the seaside has represented a crucial pole for future human development and civilization. The use of the sea for transport and trade and the overwhelming availability of food derived from coastal waters have encouraged and strengthened the growth of urban settlements. In the same time, the human pressure menaces to destroy coastal habitats and consequently their carrying capacity that allows for many essential functions. Low-impact activities are often replaced, on the surface, by new intensive ones that are attractive in the short term, but that in the long term undermine by reducing the resilience of the coast. It is clear that, in a perspective of sustainable development, economically efficient and socially equitable use of coastal areas need to be supported inside strategies to correct these weaknesses. The definition of such strategies and their implementation in the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is an essential tool for supporting decisions and of monitoring. The issues of monitoring, more in particular, have been the subject of study and modelling by the use of Dynamic Spatial Data Analysis (DSDA), in the case of the SEA of the Coastal Plan of the Italian Apulia Region, as an information instrument for regulating the anthropogenic changes; a possibility to implement the analysis of environmental sensitivity and propensity to Coastal erosion has been explored, in order to control the level of human pressure on land. The monitoring system should provide an automatic "alert" when the dimension and the velocity of the change of land use overpass some threshold of environmental pressure.

The procedures for the assignment of design tasks for urban transformation plans distinguish between direct assignment and public competition. The paper examines two case studies of waterfront regeneration in Apulia Region (Italy) which are characterized by two different procedures for the assignment of design tasks. A set of criteria for a multidimensional assessment of the urban transformation processes is defined, in order to understand to which extent the quality of the decision-making process – including the assignment of design tasks – can be a guarantee for the increase of the “complex social value” of the coastline, as an element of local identity for Italian port cities.

The concept of Urban Services, like the product between supply and demand in a city, dominates, although in an indirect way, urban planning. Nowadays we need to organize planning processes based on a study of actual needs, from which come down services to promote in urban center. It’s like a “matriosca” scheme: the first part, the bigger, is the city, and then we have a lot of subsystems connected together, who are Government, citizens, needs and services. This process comes down from the city’s change, that before the Modern Era was just a geographical place, where the walls were the limits. Today the city is the union between the geographical place and citizens, where social and urban polices are the basis for the economic, social and environmental growth. In the case study, concerning an urban regeneration plan in the city of Bari in Southern Italy, these aspects have been analyzed and practiced. It shows the integration between public participation and use of ICT, for its promotion.

Il contributo, introduttivo della seconda parte del volume, curato dallo stesso autore, costruisce un richiamo sistematico alle differenti modalità di attuazione delle pratiche perequative, alla luce della necessità di mediare tra land value recapture e conservazione della fattibilità economica della trasformazione urbanistica.
