STARTUP - L’ANALISI MULTICRITERIA, ALGORITMO DI UN’APPLICAZIONE SOFTWARE

UniverCityappeal is a web platform and a software application that is designed to help students in the choice of the university in which to continue their studies. Service: a database of certified parameters regarding academic departments (quality, employment rate postgraduate, university fees) and the host cities (cost of living, quality of services and mobility). The idea of business by innovative, at the base of the web platform and application software is the elaboration of an algorithm for comparing more data that leads to an index of alternatives for each user. DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.11.0

The Unesco Intangible Heritage as Input for the Development of Rural Areas: A Theoretical Model for the Valorization of the Mediterranean Diet

AbstractThe study aims to identify guidelines for defining a model of cultural planning, oriented to the development of the city of Reggio Calabria as a metropolitan centre. It will focus specifically on the rural areas, to provide an integrated plan for the advancement of cultural identity. This study develops a theoretical operating model for the valorization of the Mediterranean diet. The methodology consists of a preliminary fact-finding investigation. The second step involves the selection of municipalities able to apply best practices in the area in order to promote the Mediterranean Diet

IPOTESI DI VALORIZZAZIONE DELLE RISORSE IDENTITARIE CIRCOSTANTI IL CASTELLO SAN NICETO NELLA PROVINCIA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

Motta San Niceto and its castle represent an important resource asheritage for the neighbouring territories; therefore, the Castle of San Niceto, in the course of the centuries, was an important fortress for the defence of the people and collection point of resources. The historical interaction between the territories and the castle, as demonstrated by the various historical sources, has allowed us to develop a hypothesis for the development of the resources of the Ionic calabrese area; historically this area has been part of the so-called barony of San Niceto that included the areas of Motta San Giovanni, Montebello Ionico, Saline, Bocale, Pellaro, Valanidi. This paper directs the attention toward the local products, which represent the historical identity and source of wealth for the territories. After an analysis on best practices and on the characteristic area concerned, the project defines the objectives and actions (tangible and intangible) of the hypothesis of intervention; this idea finds its realization in the creation of a pole in which promote cultural activities for the knowledge of local products and the history of the territories. After the definition of the characteristics of the project, that is developed in two different scenarios, it becomes necessary to check the sustainability of the initiative through the feasibility study

GREENWAY DELLA COSTA VIOLA: IPOTESI DI VALORIZZAZIONE DELLE FERROVIE DELLA CALABRIA

The idea of recovery of a railroad section of the Calabro-Lucane railways is based on trying to reuse neglected and now useless and unproductive structure, with the intent to promote a railroad which is the identity of the local communities and which assumes a special beauty in its contrast between the engineering solutions of steel bridges and tunnels in stone and brick, in unspoilt natural surroundings and farmland and very rich in local resources. The main objective is the re-appropriation by the community of its cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) and of its identity in order to promote, to encourage and to support sustainable processes of endogenous growth and improve the quality of life in rural areas. The paper, using a multidisciplinary approach, hypothesizes the possibility of the railway enhancement. Choosing among alternatives by proceeding lexicographically through a sequence of criteriais a common description of practical decision-making: this paper uses these sequences as a theoretical tool.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.10.0

STATISTICHE CULTURALI – IL CENSIMENTO DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURALE NELL’AREA TIRRENICA DELLA PROVINCIA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

The finding study is a dissemination tool of tangible and intangible heritage of a part of Reggio Calabria’s province. The area under examination, which includes the towns of the Tyrrhenian area of the province, except for the chief town, covers an area of 1111.76 Km2, for a total of 43 municipalities; for each of them the study has identified the relevant elements or attractors (environmental, physical and socio-economic resources). The combined analysis of economic, social, cultural and environmental studies, mapped on the territory, has allowed to understand the critical points where the gap is wider between the coastal areas, leaders in tourism, and the inner ones. The promotion of cultural heritage contributes to society well-being, not only as an action of protection, but also as a sustainable answer to the job application and as a regeneration and revitalization strategy of social contexts such as inner areas.  DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.13.0

L’ANALISI SOCIO-ECONOMICA A SUPPORTO DEI PROCESSI DECISIONALI: IL CASO DELL’AREA TIRRENICA DELLA CITTA’ METROPOLITANA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

The paper is part of an applied research study on the Tirreno Reggino for the implementation of a development model based on endogenous resources of the area. In the first step, the principal cultural (tangible and intangible) attractors have been analysed, giving back a framework of those resources considered as key elements to structure the demand for Cultural tourism and a potential new brand: the Cultural Landscape of the Tirreno Reggino. This paper represents the second step of a study, analysing the demographic trends, employment, local production systems and tourism, describing the socio-economic structure, and possible development paths of the case study area. The paper contributes to the implementation of an effective context analysis, as a scientific basis for a systemic local development proposal ina a highly fragile environment.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.14.0
