- PublicationOpen AccessAnalysis of tourism in Campania as a tool for the development of high-quality cultural services for sightseers: The “Reale Osservatorio Vesuviano” case history(2015)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The purpose of this work is to identify the guidelines for the development and diversification of the cultural touristic offer achievable at the Reale Osservatorio Vesuviano (ROV). Founded in 1841, it is the oldest volcano observatory in the world and it has always had the vocation for scientific-naturalistic and formative tourism. The present study investigates the connections between the sociology of tourism and the ROV’s sustainability and competitiveness as a tourist destination. Here it is performed a study of the tourist flow, based on the sociology of tourism and on the correct processing of data sets, distinguishing the ''statistical information on tourism" from "tourism statistics", as such a study is the basis of a proper market strategy in different sectors. Tourism remains, in fact, an important phenomenon in world economy: despite the economic crisis of recent years, international tourist arrivals show a positive development of the trend in all the major sub-areas into which the large international areas are traditionally divided. The principles for a future marketing plan were outlined after collecting all the relevant information. The plan was designed to enhance the overall touristic offer of the ROV, never ceasing to consider the integration of natural- scientific aspects and cultural events to be offered within the observatory itself.1008 53 - PublicationOpen AccessThermal Energy Release Measurement with Thermal Camera: The Case of La Solfatara Volcano (Italy)(2019)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Quiescent volcanoes dissipate a large part of their thermal energy through hot soils and ground degassing mainly in restricted areas called Diffuse Degassing Structures. La Solfatara crater represents the main spot of thermal release for the Campi Flegrei volcano (Italy) despite its reduced dimensions with regards to the whole caldera. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to measure thermal energy release extrapolating it from the ground surface temperature. We used imaging from thermal cameras at short distances (1 m) to obtain a mapping of areas with thermal anomalies and a measure of their temperatures. We built a conceptual model of the energy release from the ground to atmosphere, which well fits the experimental data taken in the La Solfatara crater. Using our model and data, we could estimate the average heat flux in a portion of the crater as qavg = 220 40W/m2, compatible with other measurements in literature.1056 35 - PublicationOpen AccessPerception of risk for natural hazards in Campania Region (Southern Italy)(2019)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; As far as the European continent, Region Campania in Southern Italy presents an almost unique combination - in terms of both variety and intensity-of potential risks for the residents: this densely populated area is actually most notably exposed to hydrogeological (flood and landslides), seismic, volcanic hazards In such a setting, alongside with an up-to-date scientific approach to risks analysis and the constant update of emergency plans, it is of paramount importance that a “risk awareness culture” should be developed by the residents. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the communication campaigns to support and improve such a culture, a study of risk perception has been carried out in 12 municipalities and 2 territorial unions of Campania Region. Different areas have been examined, the overall exposure of each almost always being characterised by a prevalent specific risk: seismic, volcanic, hydrogeological. The results of this surveys show that the historical memory has a crucial role on the hazards perception. It's also worth of noting that few communities consider that they have been sufficiently well-informed by civil protection agencies and/or authorities about the natural hazards specific to their area and the practical procedures for evacuation. To overcome these deficiencies emergency plans should be designed, developed and practised through the collaboration of all key stakeholders, from civil protection authorities to the residents communities.1134 57
