Urbanization phenomena, associated with soil sealing, can lead to an increase in surface runoff, environmental pollution and ecosystems degradation with risks to human health and economic losses by floods. Then, new urban development strategies and land management models are essential. The European Union Water Framework Directive (2000) requires Member States to draw up efficient measures to ensure sustainable use of water resources. Several Best Management Practices (BMPs) were developed at this aim. BMPs are usually multifunctional structures (e.g. wetland and green roofs) that can provide suitable Habitat for species and bring to the maintenance of biodiversity, allow climate regulation by evaporation and adsorption of solar radiation together with aesthetic/amenity, recreational and educational benefits, enhancing the urban quality of life and social interaction. However, especially in Italy, the full integration of BMPs in territorial planning and urban (re-) design is not fully realized yet. The control of water quality and quantity has often been realized by isolated and localized interventions (e.g. detention/infiltration basins) without a "smart" and systemic project based on a holistic environmental sustainability concept. Through an application of a synthetic index for urban permeability assessment (RIE Index), this paper presents a systemic approach to urban green planning to reduce surface runoff in a pilot area of Bari city, increasing soil permeability and reducing hydraulic risk. This green and sustainable storm water management approach would be able to furnish environmental benefits and services to the citizens, enhancing quality of life in urban contexts.

L'impermeabilizzazione delle superfici determina un'alterazione del sistema idrologico, con un incremento dei volumi e dei picchi dei deflussi delle acque meteoriche. Il fenomeno è destinato a progredire, sia per il contributo che vi deriva dalla costante crescita delle superfici urbanizzate (urban sprawl), sia per i cambiamenti climatici in atto, che accentuano la frequenza delle piogge critiche. Una serie di misure e tecniche (Best Management Practices, BMPs) sono state sviluppate per la gestione sostenibile delle acque meteoriche urbane. Alcune BMPs (es: verde pensile, bacini di detenzione/ritenzione, zone umide) possono svolgere inoltre una funzione ecologica (divenendo habitat per specie animali e vegetali), di termoregolazione, estetica e di promozione del capitale sociale. È quindi necessario sperimentare metodologie di progettazione e gestione del verde urbano e periurbano, la cui multifunzionalità consente di perseguire la strada della sostenibilità ambientale. Su tale traccia, questo lavoro presenta un percorso metodologico orientato a valutare alcune strategie integrate di controllo dei deflussi urbani, attraverso l'aumento della permeabilità di alcune parti sensibili di città. Il verde, quindi, non è visto come semplice infrastruttura necessaria a soddisfare generici standard urbanistici, ma ne sono analizzate le funzionalità, in questa prima fase di carattere idrologico, ma che, in prospettiva, con la stessa armatura verde, esso può assumere un ruolo ecologico, sociale, di mitigazione del clima e di emissione di gas clima-alteranti. ; Urbanisation phenomena, associated with soil sealing, can lead to an increase in surface runoff, environmental pollution and ecosystems degradation with risks to human health and economic losses by floods.

Tijekom otomanske okupacije Missolonghija higijenski se uvjeti življenja, odijevanja i ishrane za većinu zarobljenih Grka mogu opisati oskudnima i bijednima. Vlažna klima i geofizički okoliš pogodovali su izbijanju epidemija koje su pogoršavale ionako nepovoljan položaj boraca i njihovih obitelji. Neadekvatna infrastruktura njege, ograničen broj medicinskog osoblja i ozbiljan nedostatak farmaceutskog materijala otkrivaju odlučnost liječnika koji su pružali svoje usluge tijekom okupacije. Prioritet je nužno bio zadovoljiti vojne i ekonomske potrebe, a potom riješiti problem javnog zdravlja, zdravstvene skrbi i medicine – društvenog blagostanja. Johann Jacob Meyer, glasoviti švicarski helenofil, poznat kao prvi novinar u Grčkoj, sa svojom suprugom pridonio je osnivanju i organizaciji prve vojne bolnice i poboljšanju opće zdravstvene skrbi tijekom opsade Missolonghija (1822.–1826). ; During the siege of Missolonghi by the Ottomans the conditions of hygiene living, clothing and feeding of the vast majority of enslaved Greeks could be assessed as deprived and miserable. The humid climate and geophysical environment favored the outbreak of epidemics that further darkened an already unfavorable situation of the fighters and their families. Necessarily, the priority was to meet the military and economic needs and secondarily tackling public health issues, health care and medicine - social welfare. The inadequate infrastructure of nursing care, the limited number of health personnel and serious shortages into pharmaceutical material revealed the resolution of those doctors who provided their services during the siege. Johann Jacob Meyer, a famous Swiss philhellene, a man known as the first journalist in Greece, along with his Greek wife, contributed to the founding and organization of the first military hospital and to the improvement of the general health care during the siege of Missolonghi (1822-1826).
