analysis on the third CASE project, done through an explanation borrowed from game theory and Jungian concept of "dark side" that aims to highlight the elements of extortion of Civil Defence and the Municipality of L'Aquila:

More than three Abruzzo L'Aquila months after the earthquake seems to create a situation in which, while Italy welcomes the miraculous power with which the prime minister would heal L'Aquila (all branding dissenters as "communists say that Berlusconi's always bad"), in places rife earthquake just heard, much less political feelings of disillusionment, disappointment and anger.
Probably the form of aid that the Civil Defense bestows on behalf of the State is neither the poison that insinuate some "communists" or effectively proclaimed the panacea to the public, but can be imagined the same way as a heavy medicine administered to a wounded body, with severe side effects in the short and long term, a dubious effectiveness and exorbitant costs which are a source - to want to remain in the metaphor - some suspicion about the alleged lack of interest the "doctor" (national powers) but also, in some ways, the "nurses" (local authorities).
In an attempt to find a perspective that can describe this subtle deep ambivalence between relief and profit, you may want to look at the socio-economic dynamics triggered by the land management Aquila as a result of the earthquake at the intersection of two reference frames, meta-communication, two frames within which action unfolds and the collective representations regarding the huge platform for ongoing projects. The first frame can be inferred from mimesis of the purposes of profit by statements of solidarity , the second from relationship between local authorities and national . must also be noted that through the system of aid for reconstruction enjoyed L'Aquila, these two frames es'intrecciano converge diverged in the chain of intermediation where the relationship between helpers and helped.
As perceived by some 'time in humanitarian aid systems tend to occur industries solidarity that - right through the chain of intermediaries between the issuer' help and those who receive it - give produce the spell that makes someone who helps you succeed, to varying degrees, to help himself as well. We should not forget that enormous machinery set up to support the impromptu (hopefully) fragment of "South" is now intraoccidentale L'Aquila, tends to recur, in miniature, the substance of certain macro perverse mechanisms that we have more or less begun to understand how to act on a large scale in all 'Africa' the world.
If the ambivalence between profit and help inform us of the "dark side" of solidarity, this assumption can be observed in practice now to L'Aquila in the emblematic case of the CASE project The great work of building - in essence a bridge over the Strait "- fell on the territory by the Government under the pretext of starting already in the emergency reconstruction (to provide "already suffered from" the people of comfortable homes and sensationalistic, but perhaps also to avoid costly and less profitable container, and hold, waiting for the "immediate" for months and months the masses displaced in tent cities uninhabitable).
From the perspective of government decisions can not but arouse the concern that the cost per square meter of housing planned for the CASE project is around three thousand euro: Odds and the like is hard not to think strategies to profit in favor of Italian construction giants that share large slices of this cake placed on the emergency table (a table where, beyond a certain cost per square meter, you may benefit from the possibility of speculation as ancillary expropriated land and labor at very low prices squeezed to the limits of slavery).
If the state has dropped from the CASE project, the municipality (which is probably in the long run will become the owner of such housing) has directed the selection of sites on which to place the buildings in question. Or rather, the Civil Defense has allowed local institutions designed to maintain a preset a series of land from the location. So much of the land near the city (which would be the most suitable places to set up these condos, with a view near the edge of the urban periphery, which aims to maximize the cultural sustainability of the operation) will maintain or increase economic value. Conversely too often these buildings will end up in the rural area of \u200b\u200bthe municipality, in places where there is a characteristic landscape and identity hardly compatible with the characteristics of this type of dwelling (in the case of blocks of flats).
Thus we doubt that more than protect ownership of land local authorities have aimed to preserve landowners , in location decisions than profit-oriented culture that anthropological sites, which have provided a more priority given to political and economic criteria that ethical and social. In this hasty and chaotic first phase of post-earthquake management of territoriality Aquila one wonders if, as he has been preaching from many a point of sustainability, as you are not producing the concrete conditions of factual denial of this admirable general principle: the evitabilissime choices - as nearly half of the locations - are driving the strategies of loss of land annexed to the CASE project are not an example of contempt for the most basic assumptions of sustainability?
Looking at the array of possibilities from the game astraibile generated powers between national and local authorities according to provisions for profit or solidarity, astraibili are two strategies: one focused on each other supervised (based on a collaborative vision, ethical action) and focus on a close eye on each other on the work the other (based on a vision of conflict, economic action). In the first case the local administration could have sought a different type of dwelling, which reflects the cultural diversity of habitats of the municipality, not aiming at profit and operations of the exploitation of wage earners, the State could have reflexively monitor the local government to get to a location of the houses made on the basis of cultural criteria and not patronage. In the second case, the substance of the Protocol could be the following: "I close one eye on the local authority do you state that speculation on houses, I close one eye on the state patronage that you practice Municipality the territory. " If in the first instance, each could maximize the collective benefits in a cultural perspective (a state of Pareto optimality perspective in ethics), in the second case, everyone tries to maximize individual advantage with a view to profit ( a situation of Nash equilibrium patronage with a view). This is to put it reductively using words borrowed from game theory, but it's easy to see that option was adopted.
If catastrophic events lend themselves to the affirmation of strategies shock economy, should be noted that in doing business with solidarity can be not only the national powers, extralocali, "high" or if you prefer, but all the political and economic actors along the chain of distribution of aid from the State level to local. Aquila is the Abruzzi at the time a climate of emergency where the need is a pretext for imposing choices - however legitimate as a means to help the local population - are greedy profit opportunities. The long-term effects of an earthquake concern mainly the processes of transformation of the area affected, and now there is some fear that the basin of the Eagle can be transformed into a "swamp of crocodiles," political actors and of speculation that, having devoured the soil so reckless, they can cry and, as necessary, saying "It does not get better could do. " That's why - gained the inevitability of change imposed by the event - you should watch with real attention to the preservation of the cultural value of places, and this to ensure that the need does not become a pretext for imposing fewer choices necessary that convenient.
