Nenačrtno širjenje mestnih območij in megadogodki
V sodobnih mestih se lokalna tekmovalnost za finančne vire krepi bolj kot kdaj koli in vodi v razvoj mest, za katera je značilna pomembna družbenoekonomska preobrazba. V dosedanjih raziskavah so avtorji tesno povezavo med širjenjem mest, družbenoekonomskim razvojem in megadogodki proučevali samo za oločena območja in vrste rasti mest, pri čemer so pogosto prezrli vlogo megadogodkov pri krepitvi nenačrtnega širjenja mestnih območij. Atene so kot g…
Sprawl and mega-events
In the new context of contemporary cities, local competitiveness for financial resources has grown more than ever, resulting in cities characterised by important socioeconomic transformations. Earlier studies addressed the relation between urban expansion, socioeconomic development and mega-events only for specific areas and types of urban growth, often overlooking the role of mega-events in fuelling urban sprawl. As the host of the 2004 Olympic …
Long-Term Urban Growth and Land Use Efficiency in Southern Europe
The present study illustrates a multidimensional analysis of an indicator of urban land use efficiency (per-capita built-up area, LUE) in mainland Attica, a Mediterranean urban region, along different expansion waves (1960–2010): compaction and densification in the 1960s, dispersed growth along the coasts and on Athens’ fringe in the 1970s, fringe consolidation in the 1980s, moderate re-polarization and discontinuous expansion in the 1990s and sp…
Map of Long-Term Changes in Land Sensitivity to Degradation of Italy
The study introduces a map of the long-term changes in the level of land sensitivity to degradation for Italy, presented at a scale of 1:1,300,000. According to the Environmental Sensitive Area (ESA) approach, the national territory was divided into different classes of land sensitivity by assigning a score based on the observed changes in four themes (climate, soil, vegetation and land management) related to land degradation processes. The obser…
Long-term land cover changes and climate variations – A country-scale approach for a new policy target
Changes in city vertical profile as an indicator of sprawl
Substitutability and weighting of ecological and economic indicators
Developing a Synthetic Index of Land Vulnerability to Drought and Desertification
This paper develops an index of the vulnerability of land to drought and desertification (LVI) for Italy. The index takes into account changes in climate, land use, vegetation cover, soil properties, and population during the period 1990–2000. The LVI was built up through a multivariate approach aimed at assessing the importance of the various indicators included in the synthetic index. Increasing land vulnerability was observed during this time,…
Natural resource depletion and the economic performance of local districts
Studying the interactions among ecological factors and economic performance measured at the local scale is necessary to suggest policies able to mitigate natural resource depletion in complex ecosystems, like those in the Mediterranean region. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship among natural resource depletion due to land degradation (LD) and some economic characteristics of local labour systems in Italy, a country where many ar…

Territorial disparities, natural resource distribution, and land degradation
