The Management of Cultural Heritage: the Importance of No Profit Subjects

This study aims to contribute to the enhancement of cultural and environmental heritage of Calabria, with the objective to identify the optimal management model, able to achieve results effective, efficient and long lasting, as the effects of mismanagement often determine causes of decay and abandonment of heritage: have been used the verification of the comparative financial sustainability, as suggested by the Legislative Decree 42/2004, between two categories of program manager, profit and no profit, starting from the assumption that the real manager public, owner of a large part of cultural heritage, it is not in the best condition to manage because of multiple factors. From the simulation performed on the Geraces Cultural Park of History and Memory, it is clear that the subject no profit is the one best suited, so, with the same objectives, and services to be provided within the tariff, it checks the condition of equilibrium between costs and revenues: specifically, the cost of a no profit entity is considerably lower, making use of voluntary unlike a subject who must supply profit instead of real salaries

UN MODELLO SPERIMENTALE PER LA DETERMINAZIONE SINTETICA DEI COSTI DI RECUPERO DEI CENTRI STORICI IN CONDIZIONI DI DEFICIT INFORMATIVI

This paper, result of a research activity of stillin testing phase, aims to provide a tool for the synthetic estimate of recovery costs for hi- storic building in the phase of planning of measures, to be used in situations where it is not possible gatering necessary information for the application of more sophisticated instruments. The estimation method proposed arises from the need of programming the re- covery plans for old towns, especially those abandoned, which will take on a particular importance in view of their considerable po- tential new functions aimed at the sustainable development of territories as they fall, constituting an important part of the cultural landscape that characterizes the Inner Areas: areas in which the identity resources, such as historical buildings, still remain and are a tool that can also give an economic perspective for these territories.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.12.0

PATRIMONIO EDILIZIO INUTILIZZATO E VALORIZZAZIONE DEI CENTRI STORICI: STRUMENTI NORMATIVI E SPUNTI PROCEDURALI

The private real estate of historical centers play a crucial role in development’s dynamics, because their efficient utilization contributes to the competitiveness and prosperity of the territory that they belong to. These real estate in state of decay and quite often under contested ownership, represent an impediment to the implementation of dedicated development plans. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on the historic centers and to suggest tools and preliminary procedures in support of the local Councils in facing up the problem of the unused private real estate, within a structured enhancement process. Will be used two approaches: one related to legal aspects of the problem, where have been clarified the available legislative instruments , the other which highlights the importance of the assessment process and its contribution in defining instruments used to set up development plans, with specific attention on the feasibility and sustainability of the investments involved in the recovery of these historic areas, eventually with the contribution of private funds, nevertheless the need to evaluate the benefit the private investors will receive in return from their investments

UN MODELLO APPLICATIVO PER LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PAESAGGIO CULTURALE DELLA DIETA MEDITERRANEA

This paper aims to present a research project, where the Mediterranean Diet, according to a multidisciplinary reading, becomes an opportunity and a valuable tool for the sustainable growth of the Inner Areas. The goal is to contribute to the development of the inner areas of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria and the methodology is based on the definition of a tool that allows the iden- tification of the correct assets of knowledge, planning and evaluation oriented towards the development of territorial resources. The scope is to present a model able to help in enhancing the contexts of local products, preserving the “tangible” elements that make up this ”intangible” lifestyle named Mediterranean Diet, in order to produce specific effective impacts on territories and communities. DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.11.1

ALLE ORIGINI DELL’UMANESIMO: UN ITINERARIO CULTURALE PER UNA RETE COMPETITIVA DI CITTÀ DEL MEDITERRANEO

The identification of the Metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria has highlighted the need to start a series of strategies that will allow the city to be competitive in the Mediterranean Sea. In this area the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria, because of the geographic location, has a position of particular strategic interest. One of the characteristics that distinguishes metropolitan cities is the ability to set their own international relations. The cultural route under study, emphasizing the period of “maximum splendor” of the city, would allow the launch of a system of international trade that starting from the cultural resources would allow then the networking of infrastructure, universities and businesses.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.09.0

The Fortification System of the Straits. The Evaluations as Decision Support in the Economic Development Strategies of the Metropolitan City

The research analyzes the ability of the economic assessment to promote local development. At this stage, we try to shed more light on the importance of this matter, proposing a study on the one hand can highlight the features and the most important aspects of the evaluation and the other is able to demonstrate the operational validity of the latter in promote local development. Local development becomes an important tool for the exploitation of resources of a territory , which takes an active role , offering more and more exploitable resources over time . Finally, it is exposed to the concept of " cultural system " as a model of spatial development can promote the economy of the area and the redevelopment and improvement of the overall livability of a given territory. The culture thus becomes an increasingly important role for the marketi ! ng land , in order to improve the quality of life and promote the attractiveness and competitiveness of the territory, in order to activate the factors necessary for its development . The second part is exposed to the project concerning the creation of the cultural system as a process of planning for the future development of the city. A project that involves many actors, especially citizens increasingly seen as behind the choices of a city more efficient. In the context of the current localization economies , in fact , cities are having to compete with each other in pursuit of a development in the long term through investment in the territory and citizens , as an impetus to innovation and research . The three assets to be followed in order to enhance the city will be the ones to make it more welcoming and attractive , with a strong relational identity , sustainable and innovative . Understand, then , as Reggio Calabria to respond to the characteristics of " cultural system " is the goal of this work. Understand what are the reasons that lead a reality, such as that in question, as if to better integrate , to make a place more innovative, both in terms of territorial and cultural , without losing sight of the centrality of the person, respect and protection of human dignity , freedom, and the promotion of interpersonal relationships. Not far away are the days when any attempt to associate the terms " culture " and "economy" - when not even irreverent - seemed no doubt risky. Yet the idea that culture can be an engine of growth for the economy of a country is today widely demonstrated and shared by the scientific community. This is a significant mutation of trend that is gradually shifting the meaning of the function and use of the cultural property - until recent years reduced to a conceptual category in which the assets were intended as a memory of a cultural identity and therefore a vehicle for education and training - towards a vision that has enriched the profile of a conservative approach much more dynamic and economically productive . If you add to this the picture that is emerging in the era of globalization of markets and which tends , paradoxically, to strengthen the role and significance of territory in its specificity and cultural identity , it is not difficult to imagine how any policy intervention in the sector cultural , if on the one hand can not be separated from the concept of preservation , another must necessarily be open to an interpretation of the territory as a resource , developing planning skills with a strong innovative content. It requires, in this context, the need to "system" and to understand the change as the result of multiple and highly coordinated actions . If the strategies adopted to date , especially in Italy , have failed to ensure a real and sustainable economic development is compatible because, in reality, have segmented the field and separate the processes of development of cultural heritage from the local context in which they gravitate [ 1 ] . The advantage of the cultural consumption of a resource may induce socialized through its reuse by means of enhancement and management is a goal that can be checked with the help of different disciplines. The enhancement projects are a particular case within the realm of architectural design , but the economic evaluation together with the estimation disciplines continues to be a substantial contribution to the development of design processes . It presupposes , in the case of conservation projects , the presence of value judgments Quantitative alongside qualitative judgments , most often related to the historical interpretation of existing artifacts and building complexes . The transition from the formal model , which refers to private assets in the current market environment, the model which refers to the Economy substantial public goods with coordinates outside the market , in effect, shifts the focus from consumer use of resources: assets whose value is tied to the exchange and to the prevalence of the logic of the market, but rather resources whose value depends on the use, directly and indirectly from the use and non-use . The fact that we consider public goods as an economic resource , even if not placed in a context of market rules, raises complex issues , which are not exhausted by simple considerations on the scheme owner of the goods . On the one hand , as I said before, because of the difficulties to attribute a value in the monetary sense , and second, for the different meanings of technical feasibility , economic and financial continue to be a key stage in the planning of interventions on public resources . The territory has always been considered an integral part of our lives, recognized as a place of personal identity , cultural and religious . The desire to tradition, the rediscovery of ancient crafts and the production of typical signs are evident that without a strong local roots there is no significant experience in personal and social life . Among the main human needs is precisely the discovery of the territory, the sense of belonging to someone, even before something. The human being is always looking for a place that satisfies both environmentally and culturally, without which it would live dispersed. Precisely for this reason, in every historical moment has expressed a willingness to change the place where he lived apportandone valid media changes and trying to make it better and appropriate to meet his needs . In an increasingly globalized society , however , many regions are competing with each other and then it is even more difficult to enhance and encourage entrepreneurship in an area, and that is why we need rules and tools , able to promote the product area, also through a communication that is capable of enhancing the development potential and the socio-economic and environmental issues, whilst promoting local entrepreneurship . The territories , in fact, have to fit in the global market , using a fast market and explanatory , communicating the wealth of an area, its entrepreneurial vocations , the location opportunities , business opportunities . These are the tools that support the creation of local businesses and attracting capital from outside the territory , allow you to stimulate economic development . Through the challenges of globalization has been given a new role in the region , from a competition between economic actors in a competition between local systems. The territory is rediscovered as a complex system, hidden in a highly competitive global dimension : in this step to adopt a strategy of cultural system is critical to the necessity of dealing with homogeneous systems . A strategy that is able to exploit the opportunities offered by new communications technologies and extend business opportunities. This work is divided into two parts: the first part will present the concept of cultural and conceptual tools of economic evaluation applied to the product area. In particular, it analyzes the ability of this discipline to promote local development. At this stage, we try to shed more light on the importance of this matter, proposing a study on the one hand can highlight the features and the most important aspects of the evaluation and the other is able to demonstrate the operational validity of the latter in promote local development. The local development , in fact, becomes an important tool for the exploitation of resources of a territory , which takes an active role , offering more and more exploitable resources over time . Finally, it is exposed to the concept of " cultural system " as a model of spatial development can promote the economy of the area and the redevelopment and improvement of the overall livability of a given territory. The pattern of the district, in fact, is a reality for a long time active and dynamic in the industrial sector which today begins to be considered a great potential in the field of culture and urban development. The culture thus becomes an increasingly important role for territorial marketing in order to improve the quality of life and promote the attractiveness and competitiveness of the territory, in order to activate the factors necessary for its development . Concepts such as empowerment , innovation and creativity are , today , conditions that characterize the social, institutional , environmental and demographic constraints to economic growth of the post-industrialized countries . The Cultural District Evolved is based precisely on this assumption , for which this model aspires to become an important development trend in America, Europe and Italy . An example of a city that has been able to use culture as supporting its growth is Linz , a country capable of putting together a social progress , cultural and economic , as to be rated as one of the best achievements of the cultural district . The second part is exposed to the project concerning the creation of the cultural system as a process of planning for the future development of the city. A project that involves many actors, especially citizens increasingly seen as behind the choices of a city more efficient. In the context of the current localization economies , in fact , cities are having to compete with each other in pursuit of a development in the long term through investment in the territory and citizens , as an impetus to innovation and research . The three assets to be followed in order to enhance the city will be the ones to make it more welcoming and attractive , with a strong relational identity , sustainable and innovative . Understand, then , as Reggio Calabria to respond to the characteristics of " cultural system " is the goal of this work. Understand what are the reasons that lead a reality, such as that in question, as if to better integrate , to make a place more innovative, both in terms of territorial and cultural , without losing sight of the centrality of the person, respect and protection of human dignity , freedom, and the promotion of interpersonal relationships

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

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
