RÉSUMÉ DES CARACTÉRISTIQUES NATURELLES Le Parc national du Cilento, d’une superficie de 181 041 hectares, est situé au centre-sud de l’Italie, dans la région de Campanie, province de Salerne. Vingt zones centrales couvrent ensemble 26 000 hectares (c’est-à-dire 14%) et le reste de la superficie se partage entre la zone tampon (50 000 hectares) et la zone de transition (105 000 hectares). Cilento se trouve dans la province biogéographique de végétation sclérophylle méditerranéenne. La région est caractérisée par des montagnes, des vallées et une zone littorale. Elle est limitée au nord et à l’est par le Vallo di Diano et, à l’ouest et au sud par le littoral de la mer Tyrrhénienne. Le relief est le résultat de la collision de plaques tectoniques, de la formation de montagnes et de l’érosion fluviale et marine. À l’est et au nord se trouvent les montagnes les plus hautes, composées de calcaires et de dolomites stratifiées. On y trouve le mont Alberni (1742 m), le mont Cocuzzo (1411 m), le mont Motola (1700 m) et le mont Cervati (1898 m).

Abstract Questo articolo è un risultato parziale di una ricerca riguardante la rappresentazione di superfici complesse in geometria descrittiva. La padronanza e l’abilità nell’uso delle diverse tecniche di rappresentazione, consente di raggiungere risultati che altrimenti non sarebbero perseguibili. La Scuola di Disegno di Ingegneria, dell’Università di Palermo si è da sempre fatta promotrice della scienza della rappresentazione attraverso la sperimentazione di tecniche semplificative ed innovative della geometria descrittiva applicata all’architettura e all’ingegneria. In particolar modo, in questo lavoro, si riporta lo studio di una superficie complessa quale è l’elicoide che trova larga applicazione nell’architettura. L’elicoide è qui trattata nella rappresentazione dell’assonometria ortogonale. Il metodo proposto è basato fondamentalmente sull’applicazione indispensabile ed imprescindibile dell’omologia. Alcuni passi, qui dati per scontato, trovano riscontro nei riferimenti bibliografici. This paper presents the issue of a long research on the representation of the complex surface in descriptive geometry. The ability to use the different techniques of representation aims to achieve results that you didn’t image before.

It is believed that it was constructed for the effective protection of the immediate environs of the Mycenaean acropolis of Tiryns from the great floods of Megalo Rema torrent which was flowing just south of the citadel in Mycenaean times. This technical feat is survived in very good condition, having an almost N-S direction, a length of 80-100 meters, a base of 10 meters and an extant height of 8 meters. Its external side is lined with Cyclopean walls. The stability of the dam is strengthened by the presence of flysch on its southern end. The diversion of the channel of Megalo Rema was accomplished by the digging of a 1.4 Km long artificial channel having a SSW direction and joining downstream with the natural channel of Agios Adrianos Rema which discharges in the Gulf of Argos farther south from ancient Tiryns.

  • Le Opportunità Di Fruizione Turistica Il Parco Nazionale Del Cilento E Vallo
    Le opportunità di fruizione turistica Il Parco Nazionale del Cilento e Vallo di Diano- Geopark- è dotato di una rete sentieristica di circa 1.800 km, estesa in maniera omogenea su tutta la superficie del parco e delle aree contigue. Recentemente è stata anche pubblicata, a cura del parco, la cartografia completa di tutta la rete sentieristica costituita da 10 tavole in scala 1:25.000. Essa costituisce una fitta rete che si sviluppa attorno ai due principali sentieri del Parco, uno costiero l’altro interno, su itinerari molto vari tra loro che rispecchiano la varietà morfologica, naturalistica e paesaggistica del territorio. Il principale sentiero costiero, denominato Trans Parco Costiero (TPC), permette di percorrere l’intero tratto di costa rientrante nel territorio del Parco che va da Agropoli alla foce del Bussento. Esso attraversa tratti di costa incontaminata, con bassissima densità abitativa, a tratti caratterizzati dalla forte presenza di attività umane legate soprattutto alle attività turistiche dei principali centri abitati. Il principale sentiero interno altro non è che un tratto del Sentiero Italia (SI), ossia il sentiero che percorre l’intero territorio nazionale dalla catena alpina sino alle isole maggiori. Esso si sviluppa quasi totalmente in ambito montano attraversando quelli che sono i principali rilievi carbinatici del parco ossia: i monti Alburni ed il massiccio del monte Cervati. Tra queste due direttrici principali, grosso modo con andamento NW-SE, si intreccia la fitta maglia dei sentieri che permette di accedere a quelli che sono i principali geositi del parco. Alcuni di essi (monte Cervati, gola del Sammaro, monte della Stella) il parco ha provveduto recentemente a renderli maggiormente accessibili realizzandovi opere accessorie quali: passerelle e staccionate in legno, gradini, livellamento del piano di calpestio, panche ed aree sosta, cartellonistica informativa e divulgativa.

  • From Planning to Management of Cultural Heritage Sites: Controversies and Conflicts Between Unesco Whl Management Plans and Loca
    EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 21 2014 Number 2 https://doi.org/10.1515/esrp-2015-0004 Francesco Lo PICCOLO*, Vincenzo TODARO*1 FROM PLANNING to MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES: CONTROVERSIES AND CONFLICTS BETWEEN UNESCO WHL MANAGEMENT PLANS AND LOCAL SPATIAL PLANNING IN SOUTH-EASTERN SICILY Abstract. The paper investigates the relationship between the preservation of cultural heritage and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites, with special reference to the relation be- tween Management Plans and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through a case study related to South-Eastern Sicilian UNESCO sites (in particular Syracuse). The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning regimes – which mainly refer to a performative model – in a (still) very conformative planning sys- tem. The paper will show how supranational protection tools and models often lose their efficacy in relation to local planning systems. Key words: UNESCO Management Plan, Sicily, natural and cultural heritage, planning efficacy. 1. INTRODUCTION This article aims to investigate the relationship between sustainable development and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites. Its focus is the re- lationship between WHL Management Plans (MP) and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through the case study of the site Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica. The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning re- gimes – which mainly refer to a performative model – in a (still) very conformative planning system.

  • Before the Opening of Chiaiano's Dump (Naples)
    International Journal of Biodiversity and Conservation Vol. 1(3) pp. 060-066 July, 2009 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/ijbc ©2009 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Environmental quality in the park of Naples hills (Italy) before the opening of Chiaiano’s dump (Naples) Maria F. Caliendo1*, Lucilla Fusco,2 Silvana Grimaldi1 and E. Gabriele De Filippo2 1Dipartimento di Scienze Biologiche, sez. Zoologia, Università degli Studi “Federico II”, via mezzocannone,8-80134 Napoli, Italy. 2Istituto di Gestione della Fauna, via Mezzocannone,8.tel/fax 081/2535141 –Napoli, Italy. Accepted 24 June, 2009 The metropolitan Park of Naples hills (Italy) was instituted by the regional law 17/2003 with the aim of the green area’s safeguard of the city hills. However, in consequence of the waste emergency in the Campanian region, the Italian government decided the opening of a dump in Chiaiano, a quarter located inside the Park. Through the utilization of the birds as bioindicators, we studied the environmental quality of the whole area, correlating the avifaunal indices to some landscape indices. The results show, generally, that the various areas of the park were constituted from a fragmented landscape and not many mature birds communities. The dump site, called Chiaiano wood, was not so different from other areas of the park because of a similar landscape, formed from old chestnut coppices alternated to cultivation and buildings. This is an important nesting site for some predators, as Falco peregrinus and Falco tinnunculus and of some Chiroptera. This is why the dump might cause the lost of rocky habitats in the Chiaiano wood with a remarkable impact on the ecosystem.
