“…Both data and their conceptualization have a historical evolution. Thus, a "historical ontology of science" may reflect on the historical constitution of objects of science (Marcacci, 2015). Then one might understand why a theory after the other describes parts of the true reality.…”

The Jesuit astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli (1598-1671) proposed an original astronomical system as an intermediate solution between the Copernican and the Ptolemaic systems. Many scholars describe his system as "geocentric", and so does Riccioli. He uses the Tychonic solution by adding a lot of differences, for instance, the order of the orbits and the movement of Jupiter and Mars. In his astronomical work, Riccioli is rigorous and serious and offers a great quantity of observational data. The analysis of these results is crucial to understand the evolution of the Copernican question during the first half of the XVII century. The article will look at some general lines of Riccioli's system, to understand how an astronomer of the XVII century really worked and to understand which problems the Copernican system could not resolve. Finally, I will try to consider some philosophical implications of this historical case.

“…The urban car parking lots become the opportunities for urban communities, wherever there is a shortage of parking lots and the pricing and banning traffic measures are adopted at the same time in order to promote the parking organized for the benefit of the systematic integration of stopping with the local road public transport, i.e. the park and ride solution (Abdelwahab, 1998;Feeney, 1989;Mom, 2015;Reisch & Thøgersen, 2015;Marcacci, 2015). The public administration and the private organisations favour the construction and the use of the car parking lots in a specific area, including those on the road, in an increasingly competitive environment.…”

Transportation science and integrated logistics of passengers in the cities provide a detailed study of the movements both on entry to the urban areas than within them. Parking lots are, very often, places of exchange between the motorized and the pedestrian or cycling mode, or between individual and collective motorized modes. As the modern urban civilization is known by its impetuous car parking expansion it becomes essential to design the parking lots bearing in mind the needs of those who will really use them and not referring to the political lobbies in the city administration. The study of parking lot in terms of business and financial design, planning and management after the construction needs is a more accurate determination of the experimental parameters, which enable choice of the model to minimize the uncertainty of the data that will define the revenues according to the Project Financing procedures.
