• 23/08/2024 - Albergo Diffuso for sustainable development of small Regeneration of small historical towns and villages is a vast field of interest which in recent years has been gaining importance because of the opportunities related to these sites. They can be the basis for a new concept of conservation and enhancement, producing added value, growth and renewal in contexts showing degradation and/or affected by a state of abandon. Intervention strategies related to the widespread (and unique) architectural, artistic and environmental heritage, are increasingly connected to the social and productive dimension. They seek solutions to problems caused by the isolation of small sites from the main ‘development circuits’, by at the same time highlighting the features deriving from their ‘distance’ and ‘slowness’ (Lancerini, 2005). In addition to the topic of renovation and reuse of existing building heritage to save land usage and resources, these strategies include maintaining sufficient living and job opportunities over time for local communities, enhancing the social and economic capital of the areas. In fact, small historical towns and villages (amounting to about 20,000 in Italy) and small municipalities1 have a rich social capital, understood as the set of relations and, more importantly, widespread civicness and trust, which facilitates cooperation between individuals (Putnam, et al., 1993). They also have natural assets (cultural, environmental and landscape resources), productive and material assets (unused built areas, productive activities related to local characteristics), infrastructural assets (transportation networks for goods, people and information, social infrastructures) and human assets (reliability and professionalism). This is a global capital available to the community which is largely unused or underused. This is why the strategy promoted by the Department for Economic Development and Cohesion of the Italian Ministry for Economic Development adopted these assets as strategic areas to initiate local development processes. They are repeatedly mentioned in documents related to efficient use of EU funds 2014- 2020 as well.Regeneration of small historical towns and villages is a vast field of interest which in recent years has been gaining importance because of the opportunities related to these sites.

Il Giappone guarda all’Italia

In Giappone mancano gli alloggi per i turisti. Per la soluzione si guarda all’Italia

Secondo Kenichi Ohmae – autore di “The Mind of the Strategist” e di tanti altri testi di management – il Giappone se vuole recuperare i “30 anni perduti” a causa delle varie crisi economiche che si sono protratte nel paese, dovrebbe puntare sul turismo.

Il turismo inbound in Giappone, con oltre 30 milioni di presenze internazionali, è già tornato ai livelli pre-Covid.

Ma il Giappone ha tutte le caratteristiche per poter attirare molti più visitatori, così da dare un forte contributo alla ripresa economica.

Per raggiungere questi traguardi però occorrono diverse azioni, e in particolare occorre migliorare i trasporti e aumentare i posti letto.

Per la mancanza di alloggi, secondo Kenichi Ohmae, bisogna guardare al caso italiano.

Nel nostro Paese grazie all’idea dell’albergo diffuso, si utilizzano le case vuote per ospitare i turisti. E le case vuote in Giappone sono milioni.

Questo processo è già cominciato, in alcune realtà si utilizzano le antiche foresterie di Templi buddisti, e in diversi borghi sono stati avviati con successo i primi alberghi diffusi.

Come ha commentato Haruko Ikarashi, che sostiene da tempo il movimento degli Alberghi Diffusi: “I semi seminati stanno crescendo ora”.

Anche di questo parleremo in occasione dell’Albergo Diffuso Open Day in programma a Moricone (Roma) il 17 e 18 marzo.

Grazie ancora a tutto il team degli AD in Estremo Oriente, all’amico Akinori Hasegawa, e grazie anche alla new entry Ayaka Kihara.
