Information systems for the graphical analysis of resilience in urban environments undergoing transformation - first applications in the case of the northern suburbs of Turin

The contribution is part of a broader research aimed at defining analysis tools and languages bas...ed on codes of representation capable of describing the quality and well-being of cities, particularly within the current declensions and definitions of the term "resilience". Here are presented considerations on urban surveying and the preparation of a complex information system for graphic analysis in particular unconsolidated contexts of the city.

From the representation of urban vulnerability to the design of the abacus for the project. Graphic itineraries for the guide to the reading of the territory and the resilience project.

The concept of resilience applied to the city cannot ignore the specificities of places, a deep knowledge of the urban context, not only in its environmental, microclimatic and structural aspects, but also in its morphological and morphogenetic ones. The places of resilience are those places that in continuous change admit a rethinking.

Survey of Comfort and Cityscape: Methodological Considerations for the Definition of a Graphic Code and Related Experimental Applications

The goal of this study was to define a language based on a coding of graphic-symbolic type that c...ould describe the comfort of a city. The research traces cultural and disciplinary foundations of the urban survey using reasoned analysis and then proposes a system of representation. The first setting of an information system for the survey of urban comfort is illustrated and related to the consolidated city (in the field of historic buildings or new construction).

Planning and Then Measuring Resilience in the Urban Periphery: The Case of the Northern Area of Turin in Italy

The expression crisis, from Greek “Krino”, means separating, choosing or, discern, evaluate, judg...e. The crisis therefore requires reflection, an assessment, a discernment that can be the conditions for improvement or rebirth, requires that society verify its ability to measure its own “resilience”.

Handbook of Research on Urban and Territorial Systems and the Intangible Dimension: Survey and Representation

Surveying has always been closely linked to the definition of cognitive framework to which it is ...connected. Carrying out a survey has always meant representing the geometry of the context of interest but also thoroughly investigating the historical dynamics, the tangible, behavioral, and performance-based characteristics.
