The research presented in this paper has analyzed 50 years of urban evolution in Italy and noted a considerable difference of geographic patterns of settlement growth compared to other countries of the World.
The lowest level of disaggregation at which we reported data from these surveys was by geographic region or settlement type.
The first author extracted data from articles that met inclusion criteria and inserted information regarding aims, study design, sample size, geographic region of settlement, and outcomes into an excel spreadsheet to allow for tabulation and comparison across studies.
In a 71-cluster sample, weighted according to the 1995 census and stratified by geographic region and settlement type, we audited the same five public services: health centres and health posts, public primary schools, municipal government, transit police and the courts.
A survey conducted in May 2011 in 8 different settlements (99 interviewees) surrounding OL highlights the difference in impacts experienced based on the proximity and geographic location of the settlement to OL.
For each cell, derivatives of the following variables were calculated: climate, relief, landscape, geographic position, and human settlement.
We assess how political and geographic constraints affect regional settlement transformations, while also accounting for uncertainty in the archaeological data.
The association of these variables with climate, topography, landscape, human settlement, and geographic position was explored by means of stepwise regression models applied on the axes obtained from principal component analysis.
We use geographic distance from local settlements of Piedmontese descent as a proxy for cultural distance between each municipality and the new rulers.
