PAESAGGI UMANI/URBANI E PROSPETTIVE DELLA CITTÀ. UN APPROCCIO ASSIOLOGICO

Abstract

This contribution deals with the issue of the representation in terms of value attributes of the municipalities characterized by complex evolutive processes involving their landscape, urban and architectural characteristics. With reference to the case study of Syracuse (Italy), an assessment pattern has been drawn with references to the two dimensions of the urban and human capital, basing on the official dataset by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), on a Census Sections scale. A great amount of data has been coordinated to provide the most significant indices over an observation-valuation-interpretation pattern inspired by some aspects of the evolutionary approache concerning the natural eco-systems. A GIS-based representation of the numeric results coming from a Hierarchic Multidimensional approach allowed us to identify some of the main typical urban/human profiles referable to the areas more significantly characterized by landscape-urban and socioeconomic values, in the cases of both decay and success.
