As its editor David Roche acknowledges in his introduction, he himself was reluctant at first to deal with a filmmaker who is recognized for his emotional manipulation and popcorn blockbusters (11). This initial reticence, which is probably common to many other scholars, is soon dispelled by a thought-provoking collection of essays that situate Spielberg not just as a studio director in the classical sense but also as a gifted auteur.

ISBN (10): 1-5275-0818-8 ISBN (13): 978-1-5275-0818-7 This text is dedicated to Steven Spielberg, who has given me so much enjoyment and made me experience so many emotions, and because he makes me believe in human beings. I also dedicate this book to my ancestors from my mother’s side, who for centuries were able to move from Spain to Mexico and loved both countries in their hearts. This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit. I hope that contemporary researchers share their knowledge and open their minds and hearts, valuing what other researchers do whatever their language or nation, as some academics have done for me. Love and wisdom have no language, nationality, or gender.

  • Airport Landside Sustainable Capacity and Level of Service of Terminal Functional Subsystems
    sustainability Article Airport Landside Sustainable Capacity and Level of Service of Terminal Functional Subsystems Paola Di Mascio * , Laura Moretti and Massimiliano Piacitelli Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering, Sapienza-University of Rome, Via Eudossiana 18, 00186 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (L.M.); [email protected] (M.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 3 September 2020; Accepted: 19 October 2020; Published: 22 October 2020 Abstract: The airport terminal is a complex building composed of many functional subsystems dimensioned to host passenger traffic, considering an appropriate level of service (LoS). The most widely known method to assess the LoS and design the terminal areas is the Airport Development Reference Manual by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Based on this, a calculation tool in Microsoft Excel® was implemented to assess the capacity and dimension of the facilities for each functional subsystem of the terminal. The tool, composed of nine correlated spreadsheets, is a useful model to design new structures, evaluate the LoS currently offered, plan interventions, and face the new rules of passenger distancing due to the COVID-19 emergency. An international airport terminal with 20 million/year including Schengen and extra-Schengen passengers was studied. The LoS of the terminal subsystems was assessed and the areas needed for each subsystem were calculated. In the analyzed case study, most subsystems (departure hall, check-in, boarding gates, baggage claim, and arrival halls) were over-designed, according to the definition of the IATA LoS. This means that available spaces for queues and holding are sufficiently large to easily face the new rules of social distancing for passengers due to the recent COVID-19 emergency.

Considering the impact of Covid-19 transmission on air transport in general and specifically on airport operations, there is the need for contingency arrangements to be made to manage and reduce the risks of the spread of transmission in order to protect the health of air travel- lers and aviation personnel. Special attention is given to the facilitation of entry, departure and transit of aircraft to ensure sustainability of the global air transport in the country. In effect the following comprehensive framework of risk-based temporary measures for air transport operations shall be observed by all service providers during the COVID-19 crisis. These measures include: a. Physical distancing to the extent feasible and implementation of “adequate risk-based measures where distancing is not feasible; b.
