Cruising Northern New Jersey

Summary and final considerations: what emerges

St. Augustine is a neighborhood with a central location , even with an extension to the historic center, but it is lived, studied and organized as a sort of offshoot of the town, linked by the main veins of Via S. Agostino, There to John XXIII and Via XX Settembre.

Augustine risks with the organization and the vision of its current space, to become a dormitory area , is demonstrating the high concentration of buildings with three or more
plans (see chart "of building plans "compared to Alghero), particularly in the central part (see paper" Building Plans ") which does not meet balanced allocation of public spaces and services (see paper "Current status of the neighborhood") that allows residents to carry out other activities of living broadly: attend the spaces , secure in the enjoyment of pleasant places, meeting, communication and socialization.
In general there are houses with many rooms Alghero than as a whole (see chart "rooms in buildings occupied by residents"), which focuses quite a family of 3 or 4 people (see chart "Types of families "and the paper" Components families "), but the residential area per capita is lower compared to the national (see chart "residential area per capita).

This trend is even more serious when one considers the concentration of elderly is higher than that Alghero (see chart
"Age groups" and "pyramid" el '" Index of seniority "compared with the national figure) , a category that needs to build new social relations, be used for new activities in which to spend your time, lean and rely to a network reciprocity and contacts.
This need is obviously accentuated in the case of elderly widowers some of which are single person households. Although the latter figure is slightly lower than the city (see chart "type of family") and although it appears from interviews that some elderly living with adult children, some families to a component, and many widows are concentrated in areas popular (see papers " Components families "and" Location of the highest concentration of widowed ") being assumed another critical of their situation.
L ' index structural dependence of the quarter (see index), higher than the figure of Alghero, the category shows how to weigh on the elderly population, because the band is not of working age under 15 years certainly does not abound in the neighborhood ( see chart "Age groups" and "pyramid") .
points of sociality for this category so this can not be too outside the district, given the limited possibilities of movement of both pedestrian and motorized people over 65 years.


The new space also need other people that look just to the neighborhood, those tourism, or that use only marginally, or young people.


The tourism appears in the district with the phenomenon of Bed & Breakfast. The concentration of voids, although not higher than that of Alghero as a whole (see chart "Conditions of employment Housing"), is therefore affected by this phenomenon so widespread. Many
empty buildings concentrated in the 60-70 years are likely to presage a new use of the premises, possibly restructured along those lines or to the rental market (see paper "Empty Homes").


I young from 14 25 years have referred elsewhere in the city as regards the place of meeting and socializing in the neighborhood and compete for public space with younger age groups, with mothers of young children who experience a lack of safe places game as evidenced by the interviews.

The very existence of this conflict demonstrates the lack of space their own, recognizable.

The strong presence of vulnerable groups, conflict detected, the lack of a satisfactory quality of public space is emerging from 'analysis of data from both interviews and are also reported and confirmed by the Committee of the district of St. Augustine.

It reveals the need for a clear attribution of its own space, identify, identity, enjoyable.

An overview of the district and its functions consisting of the current state paper was the basis of our argument and was also brought to the table meeting with the Committee. Crossing the problems identified by the data, current state and potential solutions and response in the same district, also highlighted by the Committee, was composed of a paper spot analysis and that addresses the capacity
our intervention.

desk analysis

After an analysis that focused more on social contact, We deepened our search with the use of the ISTAT data, in fact these have enabled us to better understand in what amounts were certain peculiarities of the neighborhood and through the theming of the cards we were able to locate them.


The chart can be found an interesting though small percentage of Empty dwellings: you can see that these empty buildings are concentrated in the years 60-70.



According to our analysis, a part of the phenomenon of empty houses as you can read in the paper of the age of the building is tied to the state of abandonment of certain locations, can be attributed to another cause fact that many houses are "second home" owners who live a few months a year. It detects the presence, therefore, a temporary population and / or tourism-related and housing market.






Paper shows the largest concentration of buildings and tall buildings that are located mainly in the central square. In the outer zones of the district, where space is not densely occupied, there are individual houses with garden.
We have thus two ways of living in the neighborhood: the sharing of common spaces of buildings with more apartments, and the condition of the more secluded terraced houses, divided by fences and lots of lawns.

Most of the dwellings is to have a minimum of three rooms and a maximum of five rooms, this data shows that it is possible to understand the structure of families.
The following chart we find the average number of members within families.





The map indicates the location of the types of families, the very high percentage of families to a component is the presence of several single people, but at the same time a high percentage widowers of the graph will show later. The percentage of households of two components shows that there are many couples old and young, while the rate of three or four components shows that there are families with an average of one or two children.

Location of the largest concentration of widows in the total population





Location of the largest concentration of conjugates in the total population





From Questro three cards you can even begin to delineate the different age groups within the population of the district explicit that the graph further.



You can see a high percentage of elderly and young people most likely to weigh on economic adults with children, in fact, as shown in the next graph, the dependency ratio is equal to 0, 5% and the population that is structurally dependent on 31% of the total.




to this chart and this card is accompanied by an illustration of a modest rate of population inactive value of the potential workforce





Further interesting data concerning population and the level of education, most likely from the data analysis you can guess that the high rate of primary school population reflects the elderly and minority adults, the middle school reflects adults and children, while his high school diploma and college degree reflects the young population, therefore, greater than 18 years.


In the graph you can see even a small percentage of illiteracy. E 'possible to ascribe this finding to the presence of neighborhood elders who are involved in activities working up from an early age, have not received basic education.

Historical development of the district

As you can see from the photos of the historical town of Alghero, S. Augustine and Cunetta turn out to be the second area of \u200b\u200bexpansion after the crown that surrounds the old town.

The district begins its evolution with some buildings during 1919, takes shape in the postwar years and has a real estate boom in the 60-70 years, creating in effect an important area expansion, given the centrality and attendance, today presents the characteristics of potential coordinating center in the city of Alghero.


The paper and the graph shows the development stages of the quarter






The neighborhood of St. Augustine (as show the data and historical sources) is to have developed in the early 40's, it dates back to this period the building of the first housing in Via S. Agostino and Via Giovanni XXIII.

PRESENT STATE OF THE DISTRICT

During our tour of the neighborhood we were able to identify the different functions both buildings and open spaces, based on two broad categories: public and private, from which other categories were created as hybrids of these two main.

How Many Calories In A School Lunch



Day October 6, 2008 ... contact with local residents


addition to the usual site plan, this time we accompany a list of questions, put together in different moments of reflection: the information that we want to achieve?



(pictured, one of the main meeting places for the elderly, is particularly popular)

... elderly
Aware (and glad) that our lineup of argument would be transformed into a less structured but equally productive chat, we left those who knew (from previous visit) as places of "meeting" ...
Let's start with people who are in the gardens of Via Einaudi, Via Monte d'Olia and nearby streets: small groups of elderly chatting with each other.
Someone who lives near you walk occasionally, accompanied by a son, someone else has fought to have this place.
A man tells us how, through pressing demands, it has been obtained some benches on the sidewalk in front of the gardens of La Cunetta, Via Monte d'Olia.
But they are still missing at the stops, plus not marked by signs and where the media are a service Tutt 'anything but routine.
amenities of this venue particularly pleased by elderly is a garden full of olive groves on which the city administration, however, as we learn after a few minutes, is planning a new building.
also appreciated that the tree provides shade ... if it were freed from the annoying insect pest control and sticky. General complaints: poor sanitation.

(photo: one of the playgrounds of what remained was a large garden)


... exercises
In a moment of the evening in which customers do not abound, who is employed the bench gives us happy few minutes to answer our questions.
just by chance we find someone particularly well informed, interested and active on the neighborhood and its problems.
that three major issues:


- Traffic Control, which became especially problematic after the recent changes in the signs and the lack of parking

- the maintenance and garbage

- the lack of green areas for children to play in forcing parents to bring their children in play areas more distant, especially after the construction of an urban garden that once stretched between Via Satta and Via Sassari Brigade.

... young

Along the way, we meet a group of guys that seem to have a bicycle stopped to chat front of a store. We make a few brief questions about their habits and their attendance and knowledge of the neighborhood.

The youth of the place, they say, moves with the bike (do not seem to be any particular difficulties for movement on two wheels) to Alghero and all major meeting places are located outside the district.

However, some gather in the basketball court pertaining to the school The local de ditch, although not of the same or more students in the "square" of Via Palomba .
