  • Sustainable Growth Management at Naples International Airport, Italy
    Environmental Impact IV 233 SUSTAINABLE GROWTH MANAGEMENT AT NAPLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ITALY MICHELE MIEDICO Naples International Airport, Italy ABSTRACT Naples International Airport is a perfect example of a “City Airport” as it is only 5 km away from the city centre. Managed by Gesac, in 2017 passenger traffic amounted to 8.6 million, with a rate of growth 3 times the European and Italian average. With the objective of sustainable growth, Gesac is currently adopting an integrated action plan, backed by a significant investment programme. Specific devices are used in the terminal to manage water consumption, which resulted in a 25% savings of potable water in the last year, despite the growth in passenger traffic. Like a small city, the airport produces 1,200 tonnes of waste. Sorted waste collection, which was 62% in 2017, has set a target of 65% for 2018 to be achieved by door-to-door waste collection. In order to reduce energy consumption, Gesac adopted a smart management system of lights and air conditioning in the passenger terminal and has begun the construction of a new power generation plant designed to produce enough energy to meet the aerodrome’s electric, thermal and refrigerating needs. These activities are included in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program, developed by the Airport Council International (ACI) to reduce emissions worldwide. Gesac is scheduled to obtain certification for the highest level (3+“Neutrality”) by 2018. Aircraft noise is a main issue in the sustainable growth domain. In 2005, Naples International Airport was the first airport in Italy to install a noise monitoring system and to control the noise abatement procedures and, consequently, to reduce its initial footprint by more than 26%, and the population exposed by 52%.

  • The Volcanoes of Naples
    https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-2020-51 Preprint. Discussion started: 27 March 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. The Volcanoes of Naples: how effectively mitigating the highest volcanic risk in the World? Giuseppe De Natale, Claudia Troise, Renato Somma Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Via Diocleziano 328, Naples, Italy 5 Correspondence to: Giuseppe De Natale ([email protected]) Abstract. The Naples (Southern Italy) area has the highest volcanic risk in the World, due to the coexistence of three highly explosive volcanoes (Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia) with extremely dense urbanisation. More than three millions people live to within twenty kilometres from a possible eruptive vent. Mitigating such an extreme risk is made difficult because volcanic eruptions forecast is today an empirical procedure with very uncertain outcome. This paper starts recalling 10 the state of the art of eruption forecast, and then describes the main hazards in the Neapolitan area, shortly presenting the activity and present state of its volcanoes. Then, it proceeds to suggest the most effective procedures to mitigate the extreme volcanic and associated risks. The problem is afforded in a highly multidisciplinary way, taking into account the main economic, sociological and urban issues. The proposed mitigation actions are then compared with the existing emergency plans, developed by Italian Civil Protection, by highlighting their numerous, very evident faults. Our study, besides 15 regarding the most complex and extreme situation of volcanic risk in the World, gives guidelines to assessing and managing volcanic risk in any densely urbanised area. 1. Introduction Volcanic eruptions, in particular super-eruptions from large calderas, represent one of the highest natural threats to the mankind (Newhall and Dzurisin 1988, Papale and Marzocchi, 2019).

  • Time Analysis of the Containerized Cargo Flow in the Logistic Chain Using Simulation Tools: the Case of the Port of Seville (Spain)

This port node makes possible to switch from one transport mode (railway) to another (maritime) at the container terminal of the port. Some constraints, such as the operational time window that restricts the freight train access into the port in a certain time-slot or the need of the reversal of the train before entering into port, lead to generate important time delays in the intermodal chain. A time analysis of the process is necessary in order to check the critical points. A simulation of the whole process from the goods departing the origin station by train until they leave the port of Seville by ship to the Canary Islands is performed.

  • DIRECTIONS to BAROQUE NAPLES Helen Hills
    1 INTRODUCTION: DIRECTIONS TO BAROQUE NAPLES Helen Hills Abstract How have place in Naples and the place of Naples been imagined, chartered, explored, and contested in baroque art, history and literature? This special issue revisits baroque Naples in light of its growing fashionability. After more or less ignoring Naples for decades, scholars are now turning from the well-trodden fields of northern and central Italy to the south. This is, therefore, an opportune moment to reconsider the paradigms according to which scholarship has -- often uncritically – unrolled. How has scholarship kept Naples in its place? How might its place be rethought?

A queuing model has been developed to analyze this congestion problem. The model includes part of the process of exportation. The entities represented the vehicles that access into the terminal, and the servers were the entrance gate and the process of moving the freight to the yard. According to these definitions, five models have been developed with the aim of simulating solutions to the congestion problem. The first model reproduces the current situation, and the modifications in the servers have been evaluated through the rest. Finally, it has been proved that all processes inside the terminal were strongly dependent. The study shows that the solution should consider the decreasing simultaneously the time of service in the access gate and in the yard.
