  • A Decision Support System Model for the Governance of Sustainable Rural
    A DSS model for the governance of sustainable rural landscape: a first application to the cultural landscape of Orcia Valley (Tuscany, Italy) Massimo Rovai - [email protected] - University of Pisa, DISAAA, Via del Borghetto, 56124 Pisa; Italy Maria Andreoli - [email protected]; University of Pisa, DISAAA, Via del Borghetto, 56124 Pisa; Italy Simone Gorelli - [email protected] – EMA srl Heikki Jussila – [email protected] – Laboratorio di Studi Rurali Sismondi . Italia 1 1. Introduction and State of the Art1 2 The European Landscape Convention (ELC) defines landscape as “an area, as perceived by 3 people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human 4 factors” and underlines that “a landscape forms a whole, whose natural and cultural components 5 are taken together, not separately” (Council of Europe, 2000). This not only asks for an 6 integration of the methodologies and approaches that concern bio-physical and socio-cultural 7 aspects, but asks also for the adoption of proper tools able to highlight the effects of human 8 activities on landscape. Indeed, as highlighted by Conrad et al. (2011a), the Explanatory Report 9 of ELC observes that landscape protection, management and planning can be a complex matter 10 necessitating multi-disciplinary work. The need for public intervention in this field derives from 11 the economic characteristics of landscape; indeed, rural landscape is a pure public good and an 12 externality (positive or negative) of farming and other economic activities that exploit and 13 modify the land. Although landscape protection could be pursued by means of “command and 14 control” policies, based on the definition of standards to be respected on land transformation, 15 nevertheless standards are usually scarcely effective and often opposed by people who suffer for 16 their implementation.

S. Architecture, University of Cincinnati, 2003 Committee Chair: Gordon Simmons Abstract Public architecture that frames civic space, enlivens political debate, and embodies democratic ideals is the focus of this thesis. In the United States, civic architecture historically sought to express the purposes and ideals of the new institutions of a representative democracy. Civic architecture further shaped and bounded the civic sphere of public discourse. The decline of the public realm in the nineteenth century has, by extension, resulted in a decline of the civic realm. This thesis investigates how civic architecture can best reflect and embody, represent and nurture, a civil society appropriate to a twenty-first century representative democracy, while seeking to frame a contemporary civic realm. The analysis continues to the symbolic and spatial evocations of civil society ideals within American architecture, and an investigation into the changing concepts of civic architecture. Finally, the design project seeks to express and realize such civil society ideals through an urban design project for the public square of Mansfield, Ohio, and the design of a new county courthouse.

  • Val D'orcia 1
    VAL D’ORCIA Sweet round-shaped hills, changing colour according to the season, low valleys along the Orcia river, parish churches and restored farms here and there, often hiding in a forest of cypresses. Such are the characteristics making the charm of Val d’Orcia incomparable, an extraordinary synthesis between nature, art and deeply rooted traditions. This beautiful area of Tuscany is under the authority of the Val d’Orcia Park, instituted to maintain and develop the heritage of a region to promote its typical produce. The fertile countryside of Val d’Orcia, cultivated with respect and wisdom, produces excellent wines, olive oil and high quality cereals. The landscape is deeply marked by man’s intervention aiming to enrich the natural beauty with sobre religious and civilian works of art. It is difficult to explain with words the serene charm emanating from the lands of Val d’Orcia in the spring, when the hills turn green, in the summer when the yellow colour of sunflowers and wheat fields dominates the area, in the beautiful fragrance of a variety of plants. In the south of Bagno Vignoni, olive groves, vineyards and cultivated fields are replaced by a Mediterranean bushland while in the Mount Amiata area opens out a thick forest of chestnut and beech groves. Mother Nature, especially generous with the Val d’Orcia’s people, did not forget to create thermal springs for rest and care. The Via Francigena goes through Val d'Orcia near the small village of Bagno Vignoni, visited by famous people and pilgrims. Already inhabited in the Etruscan period, the Val d’Orcia keeps architectural vestiges from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
