“…The result of the valuation model of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), formulated by Thomas Lorie Saaty (1980), is particularly interesting as it combines multi-dimensional scales measuring, revealing a single hierarchical scale of priorities (Fusco Girard and De Toro, 2007;Cerreta and De Toro, 2012), giving weights between quantitative and qualitative elements that are not directly comparable. Through the Expert Choice software (Forman, et al, 1983), it structured the hierarchical tree AHP and dealt with value judgements on greater importance.…”

Purpose: Experimentally apply the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach according to the socio-ecological model of the World Health Organisation (WHO), where health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not simply the absence of disease and illness” (1986).Methodology/Approach: The methodology considers the application of HIA, a multi-criteria evaluation approach capable of organising knowledge concerning the effects that projects, plans and programmes impose upon the wellbeing/health of an urban community. The case study is the metropolitan area of Naples and it considers a system of evaluation to support the drafting of the new instrument for the territorial governance: the Territorial Metropolitan Plan.Findings: The research has developed through the identification of the “social determinants of health” and in the construction of a set of indicators implemented in a Geographic Information System (GIS), able to identify and to cartographically represent homogeneous landscape units of health.Research Limitation/implication: The virtuous connection between health and conservation, proposed in the method applied to the case study, is completely experimental because there are no other similar experiences in literature.Originality/Value of paper: The paper opens a prospect of research for the better understanding of spatial phenomena, creating new tools based on new technologies.

ABSTRACT:Recent policies adopted in Cuba are producing a significant turn into the country's socioeconomic dynamics. Past shifting circumstances have demonstrated the positive and negative implications on heritage sites. In this regard, this paper presents a first stage of a research project aimed at monitoring the impact of socioeconomic dynamics on local heritage sites. The research partial results focus on the documentation of the evolution of a case study: Vista Alegre District in the city of Santiago de Cuba. Scholars have noted that the District's urban design and historic building stock represent its most significant heritage values. Such qualities are under permanent threat due to transformations and deterioration. In order to analyse current site condition, and to understand transformations as a result of socioeconomic dynamics, a Geographic Information System (GIS) was implemented as a monitoring and documenting tool. The GIS allowed integrating data related to the evolution of the urban layout, and the heritage buildings. Data was sourced from heritage management and urban planning offices, as well as from previous studies on the site. In addition, the analysis of remote sensing imagery, and a field survey helped to update the existing records, and to include new information with the purpose of assessing the integrity of heritage values. At this stage, maps that describe the site evolution, the significant changes over time, and the alterations to character defining elements served to identify sectors of different scenic qualities. Results are essential to contribute to draft management strategies as part of decision making.

“…To facilitate the operation of pairwise comparison between the issues, three classifications were made to facilitate the judgments of Saaty's semantic ranking: one, concerning the importance of the extension, relative hazards of the transformation with respect to the critical coastal erosion; another, relative hazards of the transformation with respect to environmental sensitivity (Fusco Girard and De Toro, 2007;Cerreta and Mele, 2012). The result is the weight (γ ), calculated by the software, as shown in Fig.…”

Abstract. During the centuries, the seaside has represented a crucial pole for future human development and civilization. The use of the sea for transport and trade and the overwhelming availability of food derived from coastal waters have encouraged and strengthened the growth of urban settlements. In the same time, the human pressure menaces to destroy coastal habitats and consequently their carrying capacity that allows for many essential functions.
