PARTE II - Analisi Simbolo-Spaziale E Schemi Per La Progettazione PARTE II - Analisi simbolo-spaziale e schemi per la progettazione 133 134 - ELENCO DEI PARCHI DEL DIVERTIMENTO EUROPEI Ad introduzione della presente ricerca si è motivato l’interesse per i parchi del divertimento tematici: la provocazione di Isabelle Auricoste - “parchi o utopie noiose?” – in riferimento ai parchi ricreativi contemporanei, chiede oltre che una risposta una soluzione in termini di individuazione di criteri progettuali. Il binomio divertimento-tema amplifica la complessità della risposta, in quanto esistono modi di attribuzione del tema che catalizzano il divertimento e altri che lo ostacolano: ad inibirlo sono soprattutto quei modi per cui il tema diventa sinonimo di pianificazione e controllo totali dell’esperienza consentita al visitatore del parco, per cui il tema è un’immagine assoluta, immodificabile e non reinterpretabile. I parchi ricreativi sono un insieme ampio, all’interno del quale è possibile individuare più categorie. Le classificazioni riscontrabili in letteratura e le classificazioni ufficiose ricavabili dai discorsi comuni e dalle pubblicità inerenti l’argomento sono diverse. Per fare solo alcuni esempi: il sito italiano www.parksmania.it, che censisce e descrive i parchi ricreativi sul territorio internazionale individua le tipologie parco meccanico (prevalentemente costituito di rides e attrazioni high-tech di velocità e brivido), acquatico, vita marina, tematico, didattico, indoor (si tratta di strutture al chiuso, architetture del divertimento, non propriamente di parchi), children playground (derivazioni dei comuni parchi giochi per bambini), family park (parchi con attrazioni per tutta la famiglia), faunistico, miniature; Marialuisa Lusetti1 distingue in parchi di vita marina, parchi faunistici e zoosafari, parchi d’attrazione (sono quelli che si associano comunemente all’espressione parco dei divertimenti, “appartengono alla tradizione dei luna-park itineranti di importazione americana”2), parchi in miniatura, parchi acquatici, parchi a tema. Mariano Sartore propone un’articolazione che distingue due famiglie principali parchi naturalistico-faunistici e parchi ricreativi “in senso stretto”3 e all’interno di questi ultimi individua tre tipologie: parchi d’attrazione, parchi tematici, parchi acquatici. Comunque si intenda fare distinzioni tassonomiche, è chiaro che vengono compresi con il termine ricreativi parchi del divertimento non tematici e parchi tematici che non intendono essere per il divertimento. Nell’analisi e nel censimento seguenti questi ultimi vengono tralasciati, proprio perché al loro riguardo non si pone il problema –o non si pone in termini sostanziali- del rapporto fra parco-divertimento-tema, che è l’oggetto perno della ricerca. Il comune denominatore dei parchi censiti è il loisir, il divertimento. Si operano quindi delle scelte: i parchi faunistici e i parchi didattico-scientifici, i parchi archeologici e i parchi d’arte – che possono considerarsi tematici - vengono compresi solo se costituiscono una parte specializzata all’interno di complessi per il divertimento, o se sono strutturati essi stessi in maniera esplicita come parchi del divertimento. Sono esclusi inoltre i parchi acquatici, in quanto ritenuti un caso troppo particolare: essi generalmente non presentano quella complessità di contenuti, di programmi e di composizione spaziale, rilevata come caratteristica dei parchi del divertimento lungo il percorso di individuazione delle matrici della Parte I della ricerca, possono essere considerati “evoluzioni tecnologiche della piscina più che del parco vero e proprio”4.

L’elenco comprende quindi i parchi del divertimento -tematici e non tematici- rilevati in Europa, intercettati sia tramite ricerca bibliografica, sia consultando siti web specifici sui parchi del divertimento (esistono degli elenchi di parchi dei divertimenti pubblicati su internet da organizzazioni del settore, da appassionati in materia, da aziende per il turismo di livello nazionale e internazionale). Non tutte le nazioni considerate per la stesura dell’elenco fanno parte della Comunità Europea: si sono considerate europee in senso lato tutte le nazioni menzionate all’interno degli elenchi di “Parchi Europei” incontrati nel corso del censimento.

An additional aim was to provide a benchmark of behaviour incidence levels, with the expectation of making a comparison study in a number years time to identify any changing trends in behaviour. The field study was designed in order to cover a wide range of different ride types under a wide and representative range of conditions as follows: I Various types of venue; Theme Park, Travelling Fair (Park, Street or Indoor), Pleasure Beach, Music Festival. I Varied times of year; visits were made throughout the main 2003 season. Some early visits were also made in late 2002 and during the 2002/2003 holiday period. I A range of areas of the country; visits ranged across the UK in an effort to eliminate any data skewing effects due to regional variations in behaviours. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

The metabolome, as downstream of the transcriptome and proteome, has been considered as the most representative approach to monitor the relationships between animal physiological features and environment. Thirty-nine molecules were unambiguously quantified, able to give information about diet, proteins digestion, energy generation, and gut-microbial co-metabolism. The samples collected allowed study of the effects of age and sex on the giraffe urinary metabolome. In addition, preliminary information about how sampling procedure and pregnancy could affect a giraffe’s urinary metabolome was obtained. Such work could trigger the setting up of methods to non-invasively study the health status of giraffes, which is utterly needed, considering that anesthetic-related complications make their immobilization a very risky practice. Keywords: captive giraffes; urine; metabolomics; 1H-NMR 1.

  • Dreamland, Margate: a Thrilling Theme Park from the Past Summary Vision
    Dreamland, Margate: A Thrilling Theme Park from the Past Summary Vision The Save Dreamland Campaign launched its proposals for the Dreamland Heritage Amusement Park on 30 April 2007. The Campaign launched its previous Vision for Dreamland - 'I Dream of Dreamland' - in March 2005, which showed a Concept Plan of how Dreamland could look if acquired by one of the theme park operators interested in taking on the site. This plan was backed by Southend's Adventure Island Theme Park, one of the operators vying to take over the park. Following a series of meetings with Thanet District Council and the Margate Renewal Partnership (MRP) between January and April 2007, the Campaign developed the concept of a Heritage Amusement Park for Dreamland, based around the listed Scenic Railway. Our vision for the world's first Heritage Amusement Park would be to include some of the remaining examples of Britain's amusement park heritage - many of the rides being rescued from parks that have recently closed down - in a high quality park-like environment around the Scenic Railway. The listed Cinema building would also be brought back into use with rides, shows, bars, restaurants and an amusement park/seaside heritage museum. This will not be a collection of gentle old travelling fairground rides like the Fairground Heritage Centre in Devon, which is a fantastic tourist attraction in its own right. Dreamland Heritage Amusement Park will be a recreation of a large, thrilling permanent seaside amusement park – most of the rides will be permanent built structures and are generally much larger than travelling fairground rides.

  • Gastrointestinal Parasites in Giraffes Kept in Zoological Gardens of the Czech Republic*
    ANIMAL SCIENCES GASTROINTESTINAL PARASITES IN GIRAFFES KEPT IN ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC* I.A. Kyriánová, J. Drnek, I. Langrová, P. Peřinková, S. Nechybová Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, Prague, Czech Republic Parasite prevalence was investigated in giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) housed in six major Czech zoological gardens: Zoo Ostrava, Zoo Dvůr Králové nad Labem, Zoo Liberec, Zoo Olomouc, Zoo Praha, and Zoo Plzeň. In autumn 2012 and in spring 2013, 120 faecal samples from 21 animals were examined using the McMaster egg counting technique. Propagative stages of three parasite groups were discovered, namely eggs of the nematodes of the order Strongylida (prevalence 25.8%), whip- worms Trichuris spp. (prevalence 25%), and oocysts of the unicellular coccidia of the genus Eimeria (prevalence 1.7%). The results indicate that captive giraffes in the Czech zoos are not substantially affected by parasitic infection.
