Urban Form, Public Life and Social Capital - a Case Study of How the Concepts Are Related in Calabria, Italy
EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2019 Urban form, public life and social capital - a case study of how the concepts are related in Calabria, Italy SOFIA HULDT KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate the urban structure of two Italian towns based upon physical structure and social function. The towns are Bova and Bova Marina in the ancient Greek part of Calabria, Area Grecanica. This is done by answering the research questions about how the urban structures are and what preconditions there are for public life and in extension social capital. This is also compared to the discourse in research about Calabria as a region lacking behind as well as the Greek cultural heritage. The thesis was conducted during one semester spent in the area and based upon qualitative research in form of observations of the towns, mapping, textual analysis and interviews. The results showed that the urban form of the two towns differ from each other because of their history and their localisation. Bova is an ancient town in the mountains that is separated through topography, and therefore conserved with many old structures but few inhabitants, suffering from out-migration. Bova Marina is placed on the coast of the Ionic Sea, south of Bova and connected to the region by train and roads, while Bova is mainly connected to Bova Marina. Bova Marina was founded as a town in late 19th century and expanded a lot because of the railroad. It is a town with inconsistent walking network, a lot of traffic and houses in bad condition.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

Case Studies in Reggio Calabria, Italy
Sustainable Development and Planning X 903 RIVER ANTHROPIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN REGGIO CALABRIA, ITALY ROSA VERSACI, FRANCESCA MINNITI, GIANDOMENICO FOTI, CATERINA CANALE & GIUSEPPINA CHIARA BARILLÀ DICEAM Department. Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Italy ABSTRACT The considerable anthropic pressure that has affected most of Italian territory in the last 60 years has altered natural conditions of coasts and river, thus increasing exposure to environmental risks. For example, increase in soil waterproofing caused a reduction in hydrological losses with a rise in flood flows (with the same rainfall conditions), especially in urban areas. This issue is important in territories like Mediterranean region, that are prone to flooding events. From this point of view, recent advances in remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) techniques allow us to analyze morphological changes occurred in river and in urban centers, in order to evaluate possible increases in environmental risks related to the anthropization process. This paper analyzes and describes the effects of anthropization process on some rivers in the southern area of the Reggio Calabria city (the Sant'Agata, Armo and Valanidi rivers). This is a heavily anthropized area due to the presence of the airport, highway and houses. The analysis was carried out using QGIS, through the comparison of cartography data of the last 60 years, which consists of aerophotogrammetry of 1955, provided by Italian Military Geographic Institute, and the latest satellite imagery provided by Google Earth Pro. Keywords: river anthropization, flooding risk, GIS, cartography data, Reggio Calabria. 1 INTRODUCTION The advance in anthropogenic pressure observed in Italy over the last 60 years [1], [2] has increased vulnerability of territory under the action of natural events such as floods [3]–[5], debris flow [6], [7], storms [8], [9] and coastal erosion [10], [11].

A Fam Trip to Southern Italy
During the second half of March 2010 we organised, together with the T.O. Media Tours from Zurich, an important event: A fam trip to Southern Italy 40 participants on behalf of the most important bus companies in Switzerland: a journey through 6 beautiful regions, visiting marvellous and dreamlike places like the Amalfi coast and Paestum, the national park of Cilento (pure nature), the Costa Viola (known for the colour of its waters), Taormina and the coast of Cyclops, Piazza Armerina and Palermo. The trip continued to Liguria where the visit of Genoa was planned; then, to bring the journey to a worthy end, they enjoyed an aperitif while travelling around the Borromee islands. The package price included 3 overnight stays in a 4* hotel, 4 rich lunches, an enlarged aperitif, a typical Sicilian breakfast, two boat trips with aperitif on board, one night ferry from Palermo to Genoa and guided tours of Paestum, Taormina, Catania, Palermo and Genoa. All this was concentrated into a short but intensive programme of 5 days. Thanks to this, the participants were able to admire the beautiful landscapes with breathtaking sections: starting from the southern Apennines to the Calabrian coast with its iridescent colours and then reaching the Peloritani mountains at the Cape of Taormina. A jump back in time where they visited the ageless city of Palermo, then passing northwards through the Tyrrhenian sea reaching the Liguria gulf with the large city of Genoa. The very last stage on Lake Maggiore successfully completed the journey, delighting the guests with a special lunch prepared with typical products.
