MEETING  ON

“SUSTAINABILITY AND MULTIMODALITY”

PULA, December 2018

Geoprogress Global Forum (GGF) is an international initiative promoted by Geoprogress Journal, which is an open access e-journal,  submitted to a double-blind peer review, edited by Geoprogress. This is a non-profit organisation founded by Italian academics out of various disciplines and universities for contributing to the progress of humanity, namely to build a better world, and enhance peace and well-being, interdependence between nations, emancipation from starvation and other humiliating deprivations.

The GGF is open to scientists, experts, politicians and anyone around the World who wants to contribute to overcome the above mentioned problems. Furthermore, it would contribute to initiate a global network of people with the same concept of world and intentions and therefore help to urge the international policies of  States in the same direction. Each edition focuses on different problems of territory development, from local to global scale, and debates policies, management models and action proposals.

The second edition, opened with the international conference of Brussels on “Sustainability and Energy Issues”, held in September 7th, 2017, intends to focus on energy security and sustainability needs facing the present market and resistances to change. In particular, it aims:

  • to analyse current energy geography, which involves great differences in energy problems in different territories and requires different solutions and overall a new re-launch of co-operation among people for a sustainable development;
  • to discuss the strategies of energy security for humanity in sustainability and put forward policies and regulations, nationally and internationally.

Its purpose is not only to give continuity to the debate concerning the global environment issues that should be constantly in the spotlight of the scholars and public decision makers; but also, to try to further involve the scientific community in the global problems. This community should contribute not only to find techniques, of production and organisation, that are increasingly sustainable, but also to identify and remove resistances and obstacles toward the diffusion of such techniques and toward the satisfaction the energy needs of billions of people.

This international conference has been the first important step of the Forum that continued with the publication of the first contributions of the scientific community, experts and public decision-makers and the development of the debate over the web. In 2018, the Forum will continue with other initiatives – such as workshops and round tables on specific topics and issues organised with the collaboration of interested Institutions, University Departments, Associations, etc. – and with the publication in the GeoProgress Journal of new important contributions consistent with the following call for papers.

Some of these initiatives will focus on “SUSTAINABILITY AND TRANSPORT ISSUES”, as transport is one of the most important component of energy consumption and, for this reason and its infrastructures, cause of environmental degradation. Among the initiatives on transport, GeoProgress Journal promotes this Meeting on MULTIMODALITY in collaboration with  TRANSPOGOOD, Project of the EU Interreg Italy-Croatia.

The theme of the Meeting is  consistent for both EU Interreg project and GGF different obejectives.

 

OBJECTIVES AND DRAFT PROGRAM

The meeting includes a plenary session with key notes and reports, parallel sessions of papers presentation, and workshops for discussing experiences, political proposals and strategies.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS

The promoters of the workshop encourage the submission of original manuscripts, commentary and essays devoted to the examination of theoretical or empirical issues related to multimodality of transport and its importance for the organization of transport systems and for the aim of reducing negative ecological and social externalities.

Key issues to be discuss and analysed through case studies are around:

  • how to organize multimode transport systems in such a way to maximize the economic efficiency and minimize negative ecological impacts
  • how to reduce the ecological impact of transports
  • how to organize informatic platforms for multimode transport systems
  • which services should be provided by these platforms to maximize the economic and ecological efficiency
  • how to organize the governance of efficient multimode transport systems
  • how should be a planning process carried out for the progressive development of a multimode transport system with a participatory and systemic approach
  • which are the best spatial dimensions of multimode transport systems, in term of efficiency and competitivity
  • how to finance the economic and ecological progress of multimode transport systems
  • which are the policies of the EU and of European States for the development of efficient and sounder multimode transport systems
  • how to help poor countries to develop more sustainable transport systems
  • how are changing regional and global markets and which are the need and perspectives of regional and global transports
  • which are the impacts of new (ICT) technologies in the business of medium and long distance transports
  • which are the strategies of medium-long distance transport companies facing the geo-economics and geopolitics of ChinaContributions aimed at collecting best practices, case studies and practical experience are particularly to be welcomed

Contributions aimed at collecting best practices, case studies and practical experience are particularly welcomed.

The several topics related to the above issues include:

  • Geography of transports
  • Geopolitics
  • Economy and techniques of transports
  • Planning methods
  • Management methods
  • IT and Telecommunications

XVII Edizione


Convegno Internazionale  su
“IMPRESE E DESTINAZIONI TURISTICHE SMART”

 

Milano, 22-23 ottobre 2018

Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 20126 Milano

Scuola di Economia e Statistica

Sala del Consiglio, n. 4064, IV piano, Edificio U7

Università degli studi di Milano Bicocca

 

Le Giornate del Turismo – promosse da Geoprogress Onlus con il patrocinio dell’Università del Piemonte O., del Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, della Conferenza delle Regioni, di Assoturismo, Confturismo e Federturismo – sono un appuntamento annuale per ricercatori, operatori privati e decisori pubblici. L’iniziativa – giunta alla XVII edizione – è un momento fondamentale di studio e di discussione di proposte per il progresso del turismo e del territorio, che scaturiscono dal confronto dei risultati di ricerche e di riflessioni di esponenti di mondi distinti (accademico, imprenditoriale, politico-istituzionale) – tra i quali si è avviata, da qualche tempo, una più intensa ed effettiva collaborazione.

Quest’anno il convegno, che costituisce l’attività principale delle Giornate, assume carattere internazionale ed è realizzato con la collaborazione del Centro Studi Aziendali dell’Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca.

Come nell’edizioni precedenti, il convegno è caratterizzato dall’alternarsi di sessioni di presentazione e discussione di contributi scientifici a sessioni di confronto di esperienze e conoscenze, di presentazione e discussione di proposte politiche e strategie.
Scopo del convegno di quest’anno è discutere e analizzare l’impatto delle Tecnologie d’Informazione e Comunicazione (ICT) nei mutamenti in atto nelle imprese e nelle destinazioni turistiche anche allo scopo di mettere in evidenza il progresso del turismo e le migliori politiche di sviluppo e di diffusione di innovazioni tecnologiche. Particolarmente graditi saranno i contributi volti a raccogliere best practices, casi studio e ad esperienze concrete.

Destinatari del Convegno
Operatori economici, rappresentanti delle istituzioni territoriali, associazioni di categoria, mondo accademico, e i cittadini tutti, in quanto turisti effettivi o potenziali.

Ronza-Scherbi – Imprese e destinazioni turistiche smart

RICHIESTA DI CONTRIBUTI SCRITTI

Il turismo smart e turismo 4.0 

Le nuove Tecnologie di Informazione e Comunicazione  (ICT), come  Personal computer, Smartphone,  Big Data e  Piattaforme digitali, Internet delle cose (IoT) , Intelligenza artificiale, ma anche  la Biometrica , le Nanotecnologie e la Share economy,  oltre una serie di nuovi materiali resistenti e leggeri (fibre di carbonio, quarzo, vetro e altri materiali per i mezzi di trasporto e le reti di comunicazione), sono innovazioni che da almeno un ventina d’anni stanno cambiando la nostra vita quotidiana di cittadini e di turisti,  unitamente all’organizzazione delle imprese e dei territori, compresi ovviamente i servizi e le destinazioni turistiche.  Dalle grandi città, dove più numerose ed evidenti sono le innovazioni alle destinazioni balneari o montane e sino ai villaggi ed insediamenti turistici sparsi in zone rurali, tutte le destinazioni sono interessate seppur in diverso modo e misura.

Allo scopo di delineare le migliori politiche e strategie di progresso nell’attuale rivoluzione digitale si ritiene importante in primo luogo conoscere il diverso livello di diffusione delle tecnologie, le diverse modalità di diffusione e i diversi impatti tra le varie destinazioni e tra le diverse imprese di servizi, è già un primo aspetto di studio importante. Occorre in particolare cercare di rispondere alla domanda: “quali esperienze di turismo intelligente hanno maggiori probabilità di migliorare l’attrattiva della destinazione? “.   Una domanda analoga si pone per le imprese turistiche: “quali tecnologie ne accrescono maggiormente la competitività”.  Per entrambe le domande, si possono dare alcune risposte generali, che troviamo ripetute in molteplici scritti di varia natura. Tuttavia, più corrette e utili risposte si possono trovare attraverso analisi distinte per ciascun tipo di destinazione turistica di destinazione turistica e, per le imprese, secondo il tipo di servizio offerto.

Se, come pare, le ICT e loro applicazioni sono tanto importanti per garantire se non il progresso, la competitività delle nostre imprese e destinazioni turistiche può essere utile contribuire a stimolare, anche con questo convegno, la diffusione della conoscenza di nuovi sviluppi tecnologici e delle loro possibili usi nel turismo; e, non per ultimo, discutere le politiche praticate e le proposte di nuove eventuali politiche per un turismo sempre più smart.

Obiettivi del convegno

1) Presentare risultati di analisi empiriche riguardanti la diffusione e i caratteri dell’ICT nelle imprese e nelle destinazioni turistiche, gli effetti socio-economici, culturali e spaziali di tale diffusione, l’impatto sui caratteri dei turisti e i loro comportamenti, i rapporti tra il grado di sviluppo di tecnologie smart (intelligenti)  nelle città. e l’attrattività turistica.

2) Esporre riflessioni sui metodi d’indagine e di elaborazione delle informazioni per le analisi delle imprese, del loro livello tecnologico e del loro comportamento, degli effetti della diffusione dell’ICT nell’organizzazione dei sistemi turistici e sui turisti.

3) Presentare nuove applicazioni (APPs e dashboard) utili per la gestione di informazioni turistiche e progetti in atto per la loro creazione.

4) Fare il punto dello stato d’attuazione del Piano della digitalizzazione del turismo e più in generale delle politiche del Governo e delle Regioni per il turismo, e avanzare proposte alternative o integrative: per la crescita di imprese e destinazioni smart, il miglioramento della competitività delle imprese e la sostenibilità dello sviluppo territoriale.

 

In relazione ai temi e agli obiettivi sopraindicati si invitano i ricercatori di varie discipline scientifiche a proporre un contributo da presentare al convegno e da pubblicare, previo referaggio, negli Annali del Turismo 2018 in ITALIANO o in INGLESE.
