  • Variation of Tourist Flows in the Umbria Region After the September 26, 1997, Colfiorito (Central Italy) Earthquake
    2518 VARIATION OF TOURIST FLOWS IN THE UMBRIA REGION AFTER THE SEPTEMBER 26, 1997, COLFIORITO (CENTRAL ITALY) EARTHQUAKE Mariella CALEFFI1, Fabrizio MERONI2, Anna MONTINI3, Roberto ZOBOLI4 And Gaetano ZONNO5 SUMMARY Vulnerability studies have been extensively developed in Italy starting form residential buildings, in order to preserve its rich architectural patrimony. This paper presents some results of a CNR project aiming at the definition of a model for the evaluation of socio-economic vulnerability to earthquakes. The Umbria-Marche region has been selected, as case study, due to the long sequence of earthquakes that shaken the area starting on September 26, 1997 and because is one of the most important historic areas of Central Italy. The first step was to define the criteria for quantifying the socio-economic vulnerability of the region. Socio-economic vulnerability is evaluated through a selected set of indicators including population density, housing conditions, the structure of local economy, artistic and historical sites, etc. The dataset includes data on 254 variables organised in 9 groups and 48 indicators that are elaborated at the municipality level for the two regions (338 municipalities). The economic evaluation of the impact of the 1997, Colfiorito (Central Italy) earthquake on the tourist flows in the Umbria region is discussed to illustrate one of the various possible uses of the vulnerability indicators. Before the 1997 earthquake, the annual arrivals in Assisi were about 550,000 (1996), compared to a total population of about 25,000 people living in Assisi. After the earthquake, the tourist arrivals in Assisi fell down drastically to 9,205 arrivals in October ‘97, i.e.

Published: 12 November 2019 Abstract: The subsea transmission main (TM) of Trieste, Italy, plays a crucial role in the water supply system managed by AcegasApsAmga SpA (Hera Group). With the aim of implementing a systematic inspection procedure (at present divers are used for periodic surveys) AcegasApsAmga SpA decided to proceed with Transient Test-Based Techniques (TTBTs). In this paper, the results of preliminary transient tests generated by means of the existing devices (the first option to be considered within TTBTs) are discussed and possible alternatives are highlighted.

  • UMBRIA Is a Region of Central Italy
    UMBRIA Is a region of central Italy. It includes lake Trasimeno and Marmore Falls, and is crossed by the River Tiber. The regional capital is Perugia. Umbria is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, culinary de- lights, artistic legacy, and influence on culture. The region is characterized by hills, mountains, valleys and historical towns such as the university centre of Perugia, Assisi, a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites, works by Giotto and Cimabue, Terni, the hometown of St. Valentine, Norcia, the hometown of St. Benedict, Città di Castello, main center of the early Renaissance situated in the Tiber High Valley, Gubbio, the hometown of t. Ubaldo, Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, hometown of the Fran- ciscan mystic Jacopone da Todi, Castiglione del Lago, Narni, Amelia, and other small cities. Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west and the north, Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. Partly hilly and mountainous, and partly flat and fer- tile owing to the valley of the Tiber, its topography includes part of the central Apennines In antiquity, the plain was covered by a pair of shallow, interlock- ing lakes, the Lacus Clitorius and the Lacus Umber. They were drained by the Romans over several hun- dred years. The eastern part of the region, being crossed by many faults, has been often hit by earth- quakes: the last ones have been that of 1997 (which hit Foligno, Assisi and Nocera Umbra) and those of 2016 (which struck Norcia and the Valnerina).

  • Teaching Statistics at School: a Significant Experience in Italian Elementary Classes
    Teaching Statistics at School: a Significant Experience in Italian Elementary Classes L’insegnamento della statistica nella scuola: resoconto di una esperienza significativa nella scuola elementare Silio Rigatti Luchini Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Università di Padova, [email protected] Maria Pia Perelli D’Argenzio CIRDIS, Padova, [email protected] Maria Annunziata Pannone Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Università di Perugia, [email protected] Riassunto: Obiettivo della nostra ricerca era di introdurre lo studio della statistica nella scuola elementare attraverso un approccio inusuale in Italia: il Data Oriented Approach e tramite la strategia didattica per mappe concettuali. La ricerca è stata svolta nell’anno scolastico 1999-2000 nelle province di Treviso, Perugia, Palermo, Pordenone e Oristano, coinvolgendo 145 insegnanti e 2129 alunni (6-10 anni). Tutti gli insegnanti coinvolti hanno seguito, preliminarmente, un corso di preparazione su concetti di base della statistica e sulla pedagogia per concetti. La sperimentazione, basata sulle mappe concettuali, ha dato esiti molto positivi per quanto riguarda l’acquisizione di concetti statistici e semplici tecniche di raccolta ed analisi dati. Keywords : Teaching Statistics, Elementary School, Concept Map. 1. Introduction There is now a general agreement in the international scientific community on the idea that the teaching of statistics should be given a broad scope because of the relevance that the activities of collecting, representing and processing data have taken over in contemporary society and in consideration of the growing use of statistical methods in making predictions. The idea that the teaching of statistics should emphasise the understanding of statistical concepts and methods and also encourage the students to acquire awareness of how important it is to be able to assess the mass of statistical information they come across every day has a similar consensus.
