Here we are. We started working on the void concept and his different variations, visible  in the video at the following link:
https://networkedurbanism.ecosistemaurbano.com/posts/nurra-empathy/

After this first step, we tried to understand better the Nurra territory, searching for these voids there and knowing that it was possible to find in this  big part of north-western Sardinia a strong potential energy, ready to be released. It was very important talking with people in this complex and difficult villages, where the first impression is a state of abandon and resignation of public spaces, contrasting with well-finished and dignified private houses and people, in particular in Tottubella.

So we started figuring out that there were material voids, and we are talking about public buildings and agriculture fields, but also immaterial voids, like social voids. The good new is that people there still has the ability to think about his future and, in particular, a future in that places; not in every Nurra village but in some cases we found people intrested in improving his knowledge and trying to make things better, especially about the place where they live.  We talk about people between 15 and 45 years old, and in particular young boys and girls.

We think it’s also important talking with elderly people, ’cause they’re a big part of the community in these villages but, instead of the bar, they have no place to go (like teenagers and children). What’s intresting is that they keep the memory of the villages because they were there when Tottubella, Palmadula and so on were founded.

Our next step is finding places where re-activate communities, creating a double grid: one internal to the most important villages, one in which villages are grid nodes themselves, starting from that voids we were searching for.

A darsi da fare sia!

 

 

This video showed a conventional way to approach the problem of waste in Sardinia: the typical awareness campaign usually done by the local municipality.
But is it the best way to face the problem? Why doesn’t it work in Sassari and Nurra? How to involve the people in the entire process of waste management system?

Please click on the image below to see the Social Analysis Video:

Starting from a social analysis of the region of Nurra, I decided to focus my studies on the hamlet of Santa Maria la Palma. It is the most populated place and I found a very interesting starting point to create a process of community collaboration.

I selected some existing initiative and proposed some ideas only after I spended many days there to try to know the place and the social dinamics.

The biggest downside that I found was the necessity of a public space to increase the social organized and spontaneous activities.

The goal will be to give them a new space, with functionality and quality. It will be possible only with their collaboration to give them the responsability and the management of it.

My update for the work is published by Francesca Tocco

Here we show our next step: the questionnaire.

The last days we drive across the little villages of the Nurra to meet some people because we would like to know something about their lives and their problems.

We went to Tottubella, Santa Maria la Palma, La Corte, Palmadula, Argentiera and Pozzo San Nicola. In this way we had a little view about the different situations;  we prepare an anonymous questionnaire in order to find some data about people who lives there, what kind of resources and needs have the site, which are the skills of each person and to start a relationship, and we made a video interview of some young guys of Tottubella.

Waiting for the results of the questionnaires and for the relative data we are preparing some diagrammatic maps about the different little villages.

We meet people of different ages and reading the answers we decided to concentrate our attentions to a range between 15 and 30 years old.

In the same time we create a network with the people of the different villages we met by a facebook page called Progetto Nurra where we can share information and suggestion involving young people in this project. Now it’s just the first statement but we are working with them for creating a brand and update the page.

During all this research we turn our starting idea on a  different direction and we start to think with the eyes of people that lives there and we realized that the last proposal was made by an external view before getting in touch with the local peolpe. Thus we started to investigate about a flexible street market that can change its location during the week and its function during the day. Whit this system we can create a market of local products.

We are still working on each these aspects, we are trying to involve even more people.

So… stay tuned!!!
