Why Italy First? Health, Geographical and Planning Aspects of the COVID-19 Outbreak

“…Therefore, goals for the protection of natural areas will be pursued more easily. Furthermore, adopting urban policies based on urban regeneration, sustainable mobility and the creation of green infrastructures [157][158][159] can create a more sustainable scenario able to flatten the curve under the earth's carrying capacity [160][161][162].…”

Mapping of Ecological Corridors as Connections between Protected Areas: A Study Concerning Sardinia, Italy

“…This subsection was written by Lai and reproduced from a previous article by Lai et al [26]]. The following subsection presents the LCP-based methodological approach implemented to identify the ECs, which is based on studies by Cannas published in a set of articles between 2017 and 2018 [27][28][29][30]. Finally, the third subsection discusses the regression model used to assess the relation between ECs and the LCFERs, identified by the RLP.…”

“…10 of the Habitats and Birds Directives, according to which ECs make the Natura 2000 Network internally connected from the functional and ecological points of view. As a consequence, ECs can be considered areal structures connecting habitats to enhance and support biodiversity, and, in so doing, increase the ES provision [29,30]. Table 1.…”

“…Building on a methodology developed by Cannas [27][28][29][30], the spatial taxonomy of connectivity is identified on the basis of an LCP model, through four phases, as follows:…”
