It is important to start thinking about the roles and duties of public spaces and how we can change them for the next phase of the pandemic and a more sustainable future. The recommendations for a healthy safe, and sustainable public space - analyzed in the paper - are framed into the following key points: Mitigate present and future pandemics;Promoting public health and well-being. These recommendations are applied to the design experimentation in a small city in Italy, that explores the relationships between psycho-physical well-being and public space in the design of an urban park. The recommendations for a healthy, safe and sustainable public space may provide a useful basis for Designers, Policy Makers, Public Health experts and Local Health Agencies, in promoting actions and policies aimed to transform public space in healthier and salutogenic spaces. ©...

An initial examination of Italian and international case studies helped to identify possible guidelines for the optimization of urban renewal activities. The guidelines were tested by applying them to a case study: a 1950s-era neighborhood in the city of Pisa. The study undertaken highlights the need to consistently integrate all of the activities that affect the building structures - consolidations and static adjustments, improvement of energy efficiency, functional and spatial adaptation - and that work towards strengthening social integration by taking into account the specific needs of the individual. The work is implemented on individual buildings and urban areas, with the aim of improving the...

Una ricerca condotta sull’ambito del fiume Pescara ha colto questa sfida, reinterpretando le criticità ambientali delle aree di studio come occasioni per gestire un più ampio “progetto dell’acqua” con cui opporre alle vulnerabilità del territorio nuove capacità di resilienza e di reazione agli eventi naturali avversi, attuando scenari di convivenza proattiva tra città, utenti, istituzioni e risorse naturali. Parole chiave: Resilienza, Capability, Vulnerabilità, Patrimonio, Qualità Integrata Nell’attuale condizione di evoluzione e instabilità dei fenomeni meteorologico-climatici è necessario un sostanziale ripe...

Since 2005 the University of Chieti-Pescara evaluated occupational stress (through the Karasek's JCQ) as well as perception of occupational risk of the building workers. Moreover, procedures (including planning) in the field of building technology were analyzed. The perception of job strain of the workers in building activities were high because of elevated job demand and low decision latitude. The risk perception was higher regarding dangers producing immediate injury. There was no direct relationship between considering the job dangerous and having attended training courses, while the relationship between risk perception and past injury events was marked. At present, we are also evaluating, by instrumental methods, the biomechanical overload of workers, due to the main repetitive and forceful manual activities.

A group of 273 workers were asked to fill in a questionnaire which included, apart from general information, questions relative to six different types of risks normally found in the field of agriculture. The types of risks considered were: falling from a height, manually moving loads, overturning/accident whilst driving an agricultural tractor, noise and vibration, use of pesticides, the risk of being cut/injured. The workers were requested to assess, on a scale of 1 to 3, both the probability of an accident taking place and the consequent damage which could result from each of the risks considered. The assessment of the risks provided by the workers was related to the objective assessment of the risks carried out by the study group, also on the basis of objective data provided by INAIL (Italian insurance company) indexes, to highlight the eventual under/ove...

This introduced the first discussions of urban resilience, landscape resilience and even the resilience of buildings.
The definitions attributed to the term as resilience of complex socio-ecological systems also suggest a shift in content and significance linked principally to the development of projects that take into account the conservation and regeneration of landscape values. In the short to medium-term, the acceptance and specific socio-ecological definition of the concept of resilience in the field of landscape design will undoubtedly comport a re-orientation, if not a true evolution in relations between inhabited space and building technologies, beginning precisely with new methodologies and the systemic theoretical-applied foundations of this new paradigm. The design of the landscape, with its diverse territorial environments and its technical components, in relation to the paradigm of resilience, must be reinterpreted increasingly more as a process of technological-
environmental transformation of inhabited space in its entirety and its consistency as a complex system of
interaction between man, nature, artefacts and society.
