  • Analisi Econometrica Del Car Sharing Per Bari E Milano Basata Sui Modelli Logit
    XVII Conference of Siet Milano, 29 June – 1 July Analisi econometrica del Car Sharing per Bari e Milano basata sui modelli Logit Adriano Loporcaro 1, Gabriella Milone2 1Università degli Studi di Bari “Aldo Moro” 2Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II” Abstract Il presente lavoro si basa su uno studio del fenomeno del Car Sharing per le città di Bari e Milano. L’analisi della letteratura ha rappresentato la base di partenza del lavoro che si è poi sviluppato nella direzione di quanto il servizio, già in auge nel territorio di Milano, possa essere di supporto all’implementazione dello stesso nel territorio di Bari che, da sempre rappresenta il polo commerciale per eccellenza del mezzogiorno. Il Car Sharing rappresenta una forma di trasporto urbano che consente di utilizzare veicoli, presenti e disponibili, previa iscrizione al servizio, offerti in concorrenza in un territorio definito. Si tratta di un servizio di mobilità, da inserirsi nella logistica urbana, rivolto a tutti coloro che fanno ricadere nella zona o nelle zone interessate la propria attività, sia ripetitiva che occasionale. Lo studio del fenomeno ha previsto una accurata attenzione rivolta all’analisi della domanda potenziale di mobilità oltre che dell’offerta. Il lavoro è corredato da una analisi empirica, da supporto all’approfondimento del nelle realtà di Milano e di Bari. Tale confronto è effettuato attraverso la somministrazione di questionari nei centri di raccolta appositamente individuati. L’analisi è proseguita facendo ricorso all’utilizzo di un modello probabilistico di tipo Logit, per evidenziare, nel caso delle città di Bari e Milano, le variabili più significative, al fine di un riutilizzo del servizio di Car Sharing.

  • 93 Fari Dismessi. Dall'abbandono Alla
    Annali del Turismo, V, 2016, n.1 Edizioni Geoprogress FARI DISMESSI. DALL’ABBANDONO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE Antonietta Ivona Abstract Lighthouses decommissioned. From abandonment to regeneration. - The Italian legislation on cultural heritage introduced, a few years ago, the concept of enhancement and enjoyment of cultural heritage through the outsourcing of cultural assistance and hospitality services for the public. Particularly, the national Project "Valore Paese" of the Agenzia del Demanio is dedicated to lighthouses and it intends to encourage the promotion of the Italian public real estate through the synergy between the sectors of tourism, art and culture, economic and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the recovery of public assets owned by the State and local authorities has the possibility to be considered not only in terms of cost to the community, but also as a significant lever for territorial and social development, in a logic of public- private partnership. 1. I fari nel tempo Opere di ingegneria umana, ammantate di miti e leggende, i fari sono parte della storia della navigazione. Dai bagliori dei primi fuochi accesi sulle torri di avvistamento fino ai recenti dibattiti sul futuro della rete dei fari, essi hanno da sempre rappresentato anche luoghi identitari. I primi fari che la storia conosce non erano altro che falò di legna accatastata situati nei luoghi più pericolosi per segnalare la rotta ai naviganti. “I primi fuochi, che dovevano restare accesi tutta la notte, richiedevano continua cura: occorreva combustibile, sapienza tecnica, presenza costante dell’uomo” (Mariotti, 2013, p. 10). Con l’evolversi della navigazione commerciale, occorse sostituire i falò con strumenti di segnalazione più sicuri e, quindi, più potenti da ubicare nei porti lungo le nuove rotte commerciali.
