Tourist itineraries for Sustainable Mobility: an application in the Salento Area (Italy)

The purpose of this work is to define the design process, implemented through an analytical methodology, of two sustainable mobility tourist routes in a specific area of southern Italy (Salento); methodology applicable to other territorial realities. This design process was developed in the context of the 2014/2020 Interreg V-A Greece-Italy cross-border cooperation strategic project called "AI SMART_Adriatic Ionian Small Port Network". It takes into account the analysis of existing Plans and Programs at different levels (Sustainable Mobility Urban Plans; cycling routes; Territorial Plans, etc.), the analysis of statistical data in the area related to employment and tourism; the interlocution with key stakeholders, the analysis of architectural, landscape and food and wine surpluses. These routes have been defined for the interaction of the port of Otranto with the hinterland territories and with the opposite Ionian coast to promote the sustainable and inclusive transnational tourist fruition of the Apulian territory. The genesis of the two thematic itineraries stems from the need/willingness to valorise some areas of Salento through the connection of significant nodes in terms of landscape, architectural and historical value, which define two routes with Pulsano and Otranto as their vertices. The project brings together the potential of the Salento as an area with a strong tourist value, with the theme of sustainable mobility, suggesting the seasonality of travel of each, to meet the needs of deseasonalization of an area with a high summer and seaside tourism vocation

Itinerari turistici per la mobilità sostenibile: un’applicazione nell’area salentina

Nell’ambito del progetto strategico di cooperazione transfrontaliera Interreg V-A Grecia-Italia 2014/2020 denominato “AI SMART_Adriatic Ionian Small Port Network”, sono stati definiti due itinerari volti alla interazione del porto di Otranto con i territori dell’entroterra e con la opposta costa ionica, al fine di incentivare la fruizione turistica transnazionale sostenibile ed inclusiva del territorio pugliese. La genesi dei due itinerari tematici nasce dalla necessità/volontà di valorizzare alcune aree del Salento, attraverso il collegamento di nodi significativi per valenza paesaggistica, architettonica e storica, che definiscono due percorsi che vedono quali vertici Pulsano e Otranto. Il progetto mette a sistema le potenzialità del Salento come area dalla forte valenza turistica, con il tema della mobilità sostenibile

Sustainable tourism supported by the drafting of the Crossborder Sustainable Mobility Plan (PTMS) between southern Italy and Epirus in Greece

The drafting of a cross-border Sustainable Mobility Plan, developed within the framework of the European project, financed by the Interreg Greece-Italy Cooperation Programme 2014-2020, highlights the importance of a synergic and systemic approach to cope with the need to agree on sustainable accessibility models at international and local level for the development of tourism that is sensitive to the environmental, social and economic needs of the territories. The imperative from which the research starts is the imminent urgency of providing systemic sustainability solutions for which transport assumes a central role. The Cross-Border Sustainable Mobility Plan (PTMS) was drawn up taking into account international, national and local transport plans and programmes, with particular attention to existing SUMPs (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans), and then proposes alternative solutions to the most polluting ones and lays the foundations for the possible activation of new maritime lines connecting southern Salento (Italy) with Epirus (Greece)

Current trends on seaweeds: Looking at chemical composition, phytopharmacology, and cosmetic applications

Seaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned and studied bioactivities so far, and these effects have been increasingly associated with their content and richness in both primary and secondary metabolites. Although primary metabolites have a pivotal importance such as their content in polysaccharides (fucoidans, agars, carragenans, ulvans, alginates, and laminarin), recent data have shown that the content in some secondary metabolites largely determines the effective bioactive potential of seaweeds. Among these secondary metabolites, phenolic compounds feature prominently. The present review provides the most remarkable insights into seaweed research, specifically addressing its chemical composition, phytopharmacology, and cosmetic applications.We would like to thank the University of Aveiro and FCT/MCT for their financial support for the QOPNA Research Unit (FCT UID/QUI/00062/2019) and the cE3c Center (UID/BIA/00329/2013) through national founds, and where applicable, co-financed by the FEDER within the PT2020 Partnership Agreement.
