Il contributo analizza la normativa italiana sul diritto di accesso civico generalizzato (c.d. FOIA) nel quadro di alcuni modelli ed esperienze maturate a livello europeo ed extraeuropeo. Oltre alla disciplina sulla libertà di informazione prevista dall’ordinamento giuridico italiano, lo scritto prende in esame la normativa sulla “libertà di informazione” adottata in Svezia, Francia, Spagna e infine negli Stati Uniti d’America. Dalla matrice comune delle normative prese in considerazione risaltano i tratti differenziali, legati al core di ogni ordinamento giuridico, alla sua storia costituzionale e al naturale processo evolutivo di valori e criteri direttivi.

The time-based characteristics of industrial heritage sites that are no longer useful for their original purposes make them important subjects of conflicting values through complex transformation processes. This complexity is further compounded when property ownership poses a challenge, as heritage ownership is often shared among various groups in society. People can experience and engage with shared ownership in several ways, including acquiring knowledge, visiting, enjoying, and inspiring. This research focuses on the concept of shared heritage ownership, specifically accessibility, and examines three subcategories: free access for wider public, semi-private, or semi-public uses for cultural visitors with admission charges, and private uses for tenants as new locals. This study examines two privately owned industrial heritage sites: the Beykoz Kundura in Istanbul, which was formerly a tannery, and the Baumwoll-Spinnerei in Leipzig, which was previously a cotton mill. Both sites have been transformed into cultural hubs and are recognised as exemplary models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research presented here represents an 'experiment' in the application of the methodology of the Accessibility Plan to the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. The goal of the research is to attempt to increase the degree of accessibility of the complex through an innovative medium and long-term strategic planning tool that takes into consideration not only tangible aspects (physical and sensory accessibility) but also intangible aspects, thus enabling people to fully visit and understand the cultural significance of the locations, with a focus on the experiential aspect of the visit. In other words, the ultimate objective of the research presented here is to identify ways to enhance the usability and accessibility conditions of the spaces within the monumental complex of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, harmonizing the requirements of heritage preservation with those of accessibility.

The knowledge, promotion and valorisation of Italy's Cultural Heritage express an extraordinary value in the international cultural panorama. Italy contains the major sites of cultural, archaeological and landscape interest which should be accessible to all. The "Sardinia Isola del Romanico" Foundation was created with the aim of showing the great monumental heritage of the Sardinian Middle Ages, represented by over 150 Romanesque monuments located throughout the island. To increase the use of these monuments it is essential to promote their real and virtual accessibility, introducing in both cases the use of new information and digital technologies. Accessibility has therefore become the key word to achieve this objective, which allows everyone to enjoy cultural heritage, breaking down distances and barriers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L’articolo discute il ruolo che i modelli fisici hanno nel processo di inclusione e abbattimento delle barriere percettive e cognitive nell’ambito della comunicazione e rappresentazione del patrimonio storico-architettonico, anche in relazione a quanto indicato dalle convenzioni internazionali e dalle più recenti indicazioni normative. Alle finalità storicamente consolidate del modello come supporto progettuale se ne sono affiancate delle altre, quali ad esempio la possibilità di far comprendere meglio gli spazi all’interno dei sistemi di orientamento. Nel campo della valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale, l’utilizzo del modello fisico viene annoverato da diverse linee guida come elemento utile al miglioramento delle condizioni di accessibilità per le diverse tipologie di fruitori. Il modello analogico può riguardare sia la “narrazione aptica” dello stato di fatto e sia il racconto delle ipotetiche ricostruzioni dello stesso, potendo così comunicare non sono con persone con disabilità visive o cognitive ma alla totalità dei fruitori. A tal proposito, l’articolo illustra alcuni casi studio che utilizzano il modello analogico di architettura al fine di superare il ruolo storicamente riconosciuto a questi manufatti, che prevedeva una percezione esclusivamente visiva, aprendoli a un nuovo livello di percezione sensoriale capace di incrementare il grado di inclusività.

Together with OperaLombardia, Aedo imagined and created the “That's Opera!” project, a multimedia and spectacular traveling project to change the narration of the world of opera and with the aim of bringing new audiences - especially the younger ones - both to get to know and to inhabit their buildings, and to approach listening to opera in an unprecedented way. Thanks to the construction of sensitive environments with an immersive, multisensory and interactive character, the complexity of the world of opera is told, especially that part that is not seen and which consists in creating and rehearsing the show (backstage and making of opera). What you see on stage is only the emerging tip of the show, its indispensable and magical conclusion. Aedo's main mission consists in enhancing places of culture which, together with the experimentation of new forms and their accessibility, makes it possible to capture and tell the charm and secrets of an art form such as opera. Among the peculiarities of the intervention, in fact, the ability of Aedo, built over time, to use narrative techniques, contemporary artistic, technological and scientific tools and languages stands out, to transmit cultural contents, make them increasingly universally accessible and bring them closer to the public with a surprise of the unreleased.

Cities are the main field of application of technological innovations for ecological transition and decarbonisation. With reference to its proximity spaces, the research proposes a multidisciplinary and transcalar vision in which analytical and quantitative methods of urban design are combined with qualitative assessment methods of technological design to simulate and measure the impacts of interventions in terms of mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change. A planning support tool, based on game theory, guides the choice between effective and interdependent solutions for decarbonisation through renewable energy production, ecosystem services and accessibility to essential services.

Il valore dell’architettura italiana è legato non solo all’opera costruita, ma anche all’apparato delle sue rappresentazioni, un mondo complesso di informazioni disseminate spesso in diversi luoghi di conservazione e trattato in modo non omogeneo. Il contributo intende presentare alcune riflessioni sugli apporti che la disciplina del Disegno può fornire nei diversi ambiti – conoscenza, salvaguardia, fruizione e accessibilità – del processo di conservazione e valorizzazione dei disegni d’architettura. La ricerca fa emergere l’esigenza di un modello concettuale unitario di gestione che comprenda: i dati descrittivi, attraverso un tracciato uniforme di catalogazione; la realizzazione di analisi e ricostruzioni digitali, attraverso metodologie che consentano la valutazione e la visualizzazione del loro grado di attendibilità; la definizione di strategie e prodotti per implementare diverse forme di accessibilità a seconda del tipo di destinatario e di interazione desiderato.

The central role played by space within the educational field, considered as a prerequisite for action, redefines the didactic experience through the meanings of design and organization, implying a systemic relationship between teacher, learner and contexts. The aim of this paper is to reflect upon the meanings of space, spatiality, accessibility and the opportunity to prepare educational and didactic places in which the inclusion of each and every one can be promoted, including pupils with complex communication needs. Indeed, for those pupils the absence of language, a partial or not very functional use of language can represent a limitation to well-being, an obstacle to activity and an impediment to participation to school context. Ripensare lo spazio didattico-educativo: suggestioni per promuovere l’inclusione scolastica. Il ruolo centrale dello spazio in ambito educativo, inteso come presupposto dell’azione, riconfigura l’esperienza didattica nei significati di progettazione e di organizzazione, implicando una relazione sistemica tra docente, discente e ambiente. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è di riflettere sui significati di spazio, spazialità, accessibilità e sull’opportunità di predisporre luoghi dell’educazione e della didattica nei quali favorire l’inclusione di tutti e di ciascuno, ivi compresi, gli alunni con bisogni comunicativi complessi (BCC) nei quali l’assenza del linguaggio, un uso parziale o poco funzionale può costituire una limitazione al benessere, un ostacolo all’attività e un impedimento alla partecipazione nel contesto scolastico.

The research refers to the eco-social theory and environmental accessibility principles towards inclusive strategies and it targets public spaces used as a requirement for an autonomous and independent life. The contribution, referring to the 2030 Agenda, presents the experiment applied to the Municipality of Udine, a medium-size Italian city. While drafting the PEBA, the research focuses on urban itineraries, adopting and updating the regulatory tools in force. The administration, supported by the university, commuted the drafting process into a strategic opportunity of knowledge of the context defining the relationships between citizens and urban habitat. The research provides the possibility to qualify some strategic objectives and identify potential actions for an increasingly peoplefriendly city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urban regeneration policies are today also oriented towards environmental sustainability and energy consumption containment. Attention is today addressed to policies aimed at promoting active mobility, reducing polluting emissions, cost savings, improving the relations between people, social inclusion and accessibility, to the expansion of green spaces. The paper proposes a research approach in which two thematic areas are associated in an integrated way: the regeneration of land and the accessibility to the same land, topics that are relevant today and that are part of Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda which aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The approach is part of a more general framework of research focusing on "transport/land use" relationships, with its specific connotation based on quantitative indicators and measures. It is applied in particular to a port area affected close to large industrial settlement which has never come into operation and is characterised by evident damage. Measures aimed at the regeneration of the territory, the reorganisation of the facilities system, and the enhancement of the port infrastructure in an eco-sustainable perspective are outlined. The accessibility analyses underline in quantitative terms, through appropriate models, one of the key elements useful for measuring the impact of the seafront regeneration action. Rigenerazione e accessibilità in città di mare. Saline Joniche come caso studio Le politiche di rigenerazione urbana sono oggi orientate anche alla sostenibilità ambientale e al contenimento dei consumi energetici. E’ ormai consolidata l’attenzione alle politiche finalizzate alla promozione della mobilità attiva, alla riduzione delle emissioni inquinanti, al risparmio, al miglioramento delle relazioni fra le persone, dell'inclusione sociale e dell’accessibilità, all’espansione degli spazi verdi. Nel paper è proposto un approccio di ricerca in cui sono associate due aree tematiche in forma integrata: la rigenerazione di un territorio e l’accessibilità al territorio stesso, temi oggi di rilievo e che si inseriscono all’interno dell’Obiettivo 11 dell’Agenda 2030 che mira a rendere le città e gli insediamenti umani inclusivi, sicuri, resilienti e sostenibili. L’approccio si basa sugli studi incentrati sul rapporto “trasporti/land use”, con una sua specifica connotazione fondata su indicatori e misure quantitative. L’applicazione riguarda un’area portuale interessata da un grande insediamento industriale mai entrato in funzione e caratterizzato da un degrado evidente. Sono delineate delle misure finalizzate alla rigenerazione del territorio, al riassetto del sistema viario, alla valorizzazione dell’infrastruttura portuale in un’ottica eco-sostenibile. Le analisi di accessibilità permettono di fare emergere in termini quantitativi, attraverso opportuni modelli, uno degli elementi chiave utili a misurare l’impatto dell’opera di rigenerazione del waterfront.

The research proposes a model for the redevelopment of the architectural and archaeological heritage through the construction of a network made up of physical elements present in the urban areas (connected by thematic paths) and a supporting information system, available for consultation online using mobile devices. The goal is to develop a model that can be used in different contexts, able to facilitate the accessibility and dissemination of knowledge of art sites and, at the same time, to support related activities and services. These objectives are pursued through three main actions: - the construction of the thematic routes of the network and the definition of the contents that explain their characteristics; - the development of a supporting information system; - the definition of the network management plan. As regards the methodology, the research was applied to the city of Reggio Calabria. 10 thematic routes have been built, which link urban spaces and monuments, characteristic of the history and identity of the city. The contents to be included in the information system have been elaborated (graphic works, iconographies, drawings, projects, texts); an app for mobile devices, support and integration to the visit was developed; a project was drafted for the management of the system and for the economic feasibility of the project. The main result that the study has allowed to obtain is the definition of a protocol applicable in different contexts for dimensions, characteristics of the heritage to be enhanced and quantity of available information. Mixed network. Percorsi culturali ed itinerari virtuali per le aree urbane La ricerca sviluppa un modello per la valorizzazione del patrimonio architettonico e archeologico attraverso la costruzione di un mixed network: una rete costituita da elementi fisici presenti sul territorio urbano (messi in relazione da percorsi tematici) e da un sistema di informazioni a supporto, consultabile on line su dispositivi mobili. L'obiettivo è quello di mettere a punto una procedura, applicabile in contesti diversi, che favorisca l'accessibilità e la diffusione della conoscenza dei luoghi d'arte, potenziando nel contempo attività e servizi correlati con la fruizione. Questi obiettivi sono perseguiti attraverso tre azioni principali: - la costruzione degli itinerari tematici del network e dei contenuti che ne esplicitino le potenzialità; - lo sviluppo di un sistema informativo a supporto; - la gestione del network (project management). Per quanto attiene la metodologia operativa, la ricerca è stata applicata alla città di Reggio Calabria. Sono stati costruiti dieci percorsi tematici che mettono in relazione spazi urbani e monumenti legati alla storia e all'identità del luogo; per alcuni elementi sono stati elaborati i contenuti da inserire nel sistema di informazioni (elaborati grafici, iconografie, disegni, progetti, testi); è stata sviluppata una app per dispositivi mobili, supporto e integrazione alla visita; è stato redatto un progetto per la gestione del sistema e per la fattibilità economica del progetto. Il risultato principale che lo studio ha permesso di ottenere è la definizione di un protocollo applicabile in contesti diversi per dimensioni, caratteristiche del patrimonio da valorizzare e quantità delle informazioni disponibili.

In our study we are examining the sustainable tourism utilization of Nádasdy Castle and its role in the tourism of the spa town of Sárvár, which is becoming more and more well-known in Western Hungary because of its outstanding historical-cultural value, as a sustainable development of one of Hungary's most important sights. In order to explore the future development possibilities of the castle, known as the symbol of the city, it is essential to analyze the development tendencies determining the tourism of Sárvár and the tourist area of the settlement. The fundamental goal of our research is to answer the question of what priorities can be developed in tourism of Sárvár in the future. Among the segments forming the tourist destination of the city, we are particularly concerned about those ones, which are in connection with history or culture, and which are interested in the increasing number of people with disabilities in the tourism market. Accessible tourism is an added value of sustainable development of cultural heritage. In our research we used both quantitative data analysis and qualitative methods, the existing secondary data were complemented with the primary data collection with the city's tourism space, attractions, local economy, and with the city's tourist target groups, including disabled people.

The paper describes the methodological approach proposed within H2020 ROCK project, on the adaptive reuse of public spaces in the historic city, particularly focussing on accessibility. The methodology is applied in a test-bed site of the historical context with the aim to identify integrated and effective strategies capable of shifting attention from the single building to the urban scale, following a performance-oriented approach. The goal is to contribute, through a light infrastructure, enabling technologies and new services, to the definition of a barrier-free built environment suitable to satisfy the citizen's environmental well-being in an equitable manner. The integrated approach involved users and key factors such as: disabled associations, sectors of the Municipality, representatives and operators of cultural institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Venice's urban morphology does not allow for autonomous movement for people with impaired mobility, a problem which has been taken on in recent years via a number of projects which have improved the potential for movement along pedestrian and water-based routes. This paper presents the results of research which, starting from a study of previously implemented changes, has mapped the town in GIS environment and planned a mobility support application which can be personalised to user needs. The tool is designed to help users wanting to move around Venice choose a pedestrian and ferry itinerary which takes account of fixed obstacles and the high water phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
