SOCIOLOGIA DELL’AMBIENTE E DEL TERRITORIO

The course provides students with the interpretative and methodological tools useful for the sociological analysis of the more recent transformations of Mediterranean urban and rural systems. One intends to develop one reflection on the processes of social change that involve the Mediterranean territories with reference to migratory, residential and tourist mobility, to social movements, to transformation and destination of cultural and landscape resources. Furthermore the course focuses on the architectural design of some Mediterranean cities and on the dynamics of sustainable development. The different coastal areas of the Mediterranean present one differentiated development of design types both with reference to private space and to that public.
