Ten years have gone by since the birth of the Laboratorio di Ingegneria dei Sistemi Territoriali e Ambientali (LISTA) of the University of Pisa. An anniversary is expected to be time for celebrating, taking stock of results and faults, or, even more, highlighting the perspectives to be faced. This volume won’t celebrate what LISTA has done; it will rather aim at presenting a brief summary of the activities so far worked out, exposing their prominent issues and the used methods, techniques and approaches, so as to point out that what does actually characterize them all is the search for the territorial knowledge (the way of extracting it, the way of using it, the way of communicate and update it) by means of advanced techniques and methods; then, it will cast a glance towards, sketching the most promising research lines and the most fertile fields of activity. In these years LISTA has gone providing significant results in researches and applications required by public administrations and private institutions. As a matter of fact, such activities appear pivoting around five great issues, in some cases linked or overlapping: sustainable mobility, territorial sensitiveness and impact, management of territorial emergency, renewable power sources, urban accessibility. And each of those issues, on its turn, is faced on the base of territorial knowledge, of its extraction, of its collection, of its integrated use: what then actually does emerge as the common element of all the researches and the activities as well. Its first word, knowledge, therefore synthesizes the sense of the whole title, highlighting that the territorial complexity ought to be caught, structured, comprehended, returned and thus made available to support planning: knowledge is then the very heart of this volume and the crucial issue of the papers here collected, which report, summarize and discuss researches carried out in the last ten years.

Abstract
Ten years have gone by since the birth of the Laboratorio di Ingegneria dei Sistemi Territoriali e Ambientali (LISTA) of the University of Pisa. An anniversary is expected to be time for celebrating, taking stock of results and faults, or, even more, highlighting the perspectives to be faced. This volume won’t celebrate what LISTA has done; it will rather aim at presenting a brief summary of the activities so far worked out, exposing their prominent issues and the used methods, techniques and approaches, so as to point out that what does actually characterize them all is the search for the territorial knowledge (the way of extracting it, the way of using it, the way of communicate and update it) by means of advanced techniques and methods; then, it will cast a glance towards, sketching the most promising research lines and the most fertile fields of activity. In these years LISTA has gone providing significant results in researches and applications required by public administrations and private institutions. As a matter of fact, such activities appear pivoting around five great issues, in some cases linked or overlapping: sustainable mobility, territorial sensitiveness and impact, management of territorial emergency, renewable power sources, urban accessibility. And each of those issues, on its turn, is faced on the base of territorial knowledge, of its extraction, of its collection, of its integrated use: what then actually does emerge as the common element of all the researches and the activities as well. Its first word, knowledge, therefore synthesizes the sense of the whole title, highlighting that the territorial complexity ought to be caught, structured, comprehended, returned and thus made available to support planning: knowledge is then the very heart of this volume and the crucial issue of the papers here collected, which report, summarize and discuss researches carried out in the last ten years.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
