This chapter focuses on the case of the Po river basin. After describing the case study area and its vulnerability to drought, we address the characteristics and the effects of drought in the Po river basin, based on the empirical evidence on the socio-economic impacts of drought events occurred so far. Then, we illustrate and discuss the approach to drought management, taking into consideration the key planning documents and experiences. Our work shows that the Po river basin has reached a turning point, as concerns water resources and drought management. The approach adopted by the local public institutions is essentially reactive; however, it is here maintained that proactive and structural measures are required in order to anticipate and prevent better the negative effects of drought.

In the increasing territorial competition to attract productive investments in the age of globalization, mountain areas have a role to play, if they wish to find new (exogenous) resources to diversify their economy and to develop sustainably in the future. This means that they have either to be, or to become attractive. Attractiveness for investments is an issue rarely studied with respect to mountain areas. This paper casts light on the attractiveness of the Italian Alpine provinces, using quantitative and qualitative data coming from a research on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. According to the findings, it is not said that mountain areas are unattractive, due to their characteristics in terms of physical geography and accessibility. Instead, a different perspective on geography itself (Alpine areas bordering with foreign countries), and the role of the government, can make even marginal areas like mountain areas rather attractive for investments. Therefore, policy-makers should identify and strengthen all possible locational advantages that can strengthen the attractiveness of these areas.

This paper focuses on social farming, a new “branch” which includes activities that make use of agricultural, rural and natural resources in order to produce food and social services. It investigates the case of Calabria, one of the least developed regions in Italy and in Europe, which suffers from several serious problems; for example, the low level of accessibility, and the presence of the Mafia organisations. We wondered whether in such a region social farming can make a significant contribution to its social and economic development. Using the data collected by means of a qualitative investigation of some of the most important Calabrian social farms, we studied their characteristics, their strategies, their social mission, and their role in the local socio-economic context. We found that most of them are successful, in both economic and social terms, and their role in the local community is positive. Moreover, they are making a valuable contribution to the cultural change required to overcome the predominance of the Mafia.

Firm location has been a widely discussed topic within regional economics and economic geography debate. The characteristics and the determinants of firms’ locational preferences have been broadly investigated not only within the neoclassical framework (Lloyd and Dicken 1992; Hayter 1997; Krugman 1995; Fujita et al. 1999), but also in the context of the behavioural (Simon 1955; Cyert and March 1963; Pred 1967; Pellenbarg and Meester 1984; Meester 2004; Meester and Pellenbarg 2006), institutional (Granovetter 1985; Pellenbarg et al. 2002) and evolutionary approach (Maskell and Malmberg 1999; Storper 1992; Boschma and Franken 2006). Many studies were focused on globalisation and the location of foreign direct investments (FDIs), as since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the development of important countries like China, new huge markets opened and grew for direct investment flows at the international scale. As such, it makes the focus in academic studies on the international scale of these phenomena predominant in the literature. More recent papers on the international firm migration level have indicated that the determinants for international relocation have shifted focus due to the aftermath of the 2007 economic crisis. As Kapitsinis (2017) finds, the level of international demand becomes of increasing importance and the access of external capital is a factor which was earlier never this important for inducing firm relocation. This latter finding was a confirmation of the issues raised on the importance of firms’ finances on their location discussed in a US study by Arena and Dewally (2012). However, these studies also argue that these issues should also be investigated at different spatial scale levels. Most studies on firm relocation are carried out from a theoretical point of view or using aggregated data; much less attention has been paid to empirical studies on relocation at micro-level and intra-national level. More studies on the intra-national level are available, and all recommend that more attention should be paid to the micro-level and intra-national level (Van Dijk and Pellenbarg 2000; Brouwer et al. 2004; Holl 2004; Arauzo-Carod 2005; Mariotti 2005; Sleuwaegen and Pennings 2006; Targa et al. 2006; Manjón-Antolín and Arauzo-Carod 2011; Bodenmann and Axhausen 2012; Kronenberg 2013; Nguyen et al. 2013; Foreman-Peck and Nicholls 2015; Holl and Mariotti 2017). The difficulty in collecting complete individual data on intra-national firm migration is hindering more studies at those lower spatial scale levels. The studies that have been done at lower spatial scale levels, however, are mostly focussing on traditional location decisions (see, for example, Nguyen et al. 2013, or Che’man and Timmerman 2016). Nevertheless, the location and relocation of production activities at the national scale is still a relevant phenomenon, both for large- and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and for manufacturing and services. However, the attention might need to shift from more traditional determinants, to a wider range of explanatory variables to capture the changing economic circumstances firms are confronted with now, such as increasingly unbalanced financial markets, transitions in energy and digitalisation as well as a stronger focus on well-being and sustainability. The analysis of locational preferences run at national and sub-national (regional, local, etc.) scales has the potential to go more in depth about a range of explanatory location factors and the spatial patterns (urban–rural; centre–periphery; north–south; east–west; etc.) that might be useful to understand the logics and the characteristics of the firm location choices (Mariotti 2005; McCann 2010; Musolino 2018a) In fact, working at such scale allows entrepreneurs to express their locational preferences at a more informed and detailed level, as they have potentially a much better knowledge of the places and the localities (Dahl and Sorenson 2009). Moreover, this kind of analysis is very informative about the country’ social and economic environment, institutional framework, entrepreneurial attitude, culture, history, etc., since firms are not driven by the same location determinants everywhere, and so this can offer interesting comparative findings, and cast light on new hidden explanatory elements (McCann 2010; Dahl and Sorenson 2009; Musolino 2018b). Finally, relocation at the intra-national level provides at the same time the best showcase of entrepreneurial decision-making regarding location choice, and the ideal context to inspire goals for regional development policy (Van Dijk and Pellenbarg 2000). This special issue aims to present and discuss works that are at the forefront of the international academic debate on the firms’ locational preferences trying to be open to a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. The objective is therefore to make the point of the scientific debate on this issue, hosting contributions by scholars analysing different countries and dealing with different conceptualisations (for example, stated or revealed locational preferences), different methodologies (mostly quantitative, but also qualitative), different theoretical and analytical perspectives from which the firms’ locational preferences have been recently explored, studied and explained,Footnote 1 balancing more traditional studies on this subject with new emerging approaches. Several remarks can be conducted after the contributions to this special issue. All papers at the end strongly focus on the explanation of (stated or revealed) firms’ locational preferences at the national scale, in particular on the location factors affecting their preferences. Interestingly, analyses highlight that the nature of the relevant explanatory location factors cannot be taken for granted at all. On the one hand, the role of...

This paper compares and discusses the results of the research on mental maps of entrepreneurs conducted in three countries: Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. The stated locational preferences of Italian, German and Dutch entrepreneurs and their underlying explanatory factors are analysed and compared, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The analysis points out that the three countries have some common characteristics regarding the patterns and the explanatory factors of the mental maps of their entrepreneurs. Examples are the centre–periphery dichotomy and the relevance of accessibility. One of the differences between the countries is the preference for large agglomerations that appears in the map image for Germany, a pattern that is less clear in the map image for Italy and the Netherlands. In some important respects, the results for Italy are different from those for the other two countries, as the North–South divide and organised crime apparently play an important role in the mental maps of entrepreneurs in this country.

The explanatory factors of firms’ location have been largely studied by the location theory, and by the large amount of empirical studies on the revealed locational preferences of entrepreneurs. On the contrary, the literature studying how entrepreneurs perceive places, that is to say, their mental maps, is quite limited. Actually, only one international line of research so far has really focused on the perception of entrepreneurs, defining an original methodology and applying it to the country-level case studies of the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, and Italy. The present paper belongs to this line of research and aims to investigate the relation between the entrepreneurs’ perception of the NUTS3 Italian provinces as potential locations of investments and their socio-economic, spatial/infrastructural, environmental, social, and institutional characteristics. The research question in the present contribution is: ‘are the mental maps of entrepreneurs related to the provinces’ characteristics, and, if so, to which characteristics?’ To do so, descriptive statistics and an econometric analysis (OLS) allow exploring the relationship between the perception score (average rating assigned to Italian provinces), as stated by the entrepreneurs, and the main location factors, usually taken into consideration in the most relevant literature. The main findings highlight not only the significant role of economic and accessibility factors, as expected, and but also the role of some contextual factors such as the presence of the mafia, which is notoriously present in some areas in Italy.

Although the literature about the objective socio-economic characteristics of the Italian North-South divide is wide and exhaustive, the question of how it is perceived is much less investigated and studied. Moreover, the consistency between the reality and the perception of the North-South divide is completely unexplored. The paper presents and discusses some relevant analyses on this issue, using the findings of a research study on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. Its ultimate aim, therefore, is to suggest a new approach to the analysis of the macro-regional development gaps. What emerges from these analyses is that the perception of the North-South divide is not consistent with its objective economic characteristics. One of these inconsistencies concerns the width of the ‘perception gap’, which is bigger than the ‘reality gap’. Another inconsistency concerns how entrepreneurs perceive in their mental maps regions and provinces in Northern and Southern Italy. The impression is that Italian entrepreneurs have a stereotyped, much too negative, image of Southern Italy, almost a ‘wall in the head’, as also can be observed in the German case (with respect to the East-West divide).

Studies on the impacts of drought usually make the implicit assumption that there will always be a negative effect on the environment, the economy and society. However, other approaches, based for example on the framework provided by the consumer surplus theory, try to focus on the distributive effects of drought. In this paper, in the wake of such approaches, we address the question of the distributive effects of drought on agriculture, exploring and studying in depth the characteristics, the signs and the magnitude of the socio-economic impacts of droughts on specific significant agricultural areas in Europe. According to our estimations, essentially based on the analysis of trends and changes in production and prices, we found that drought events can create not only "losers", but also "winners". Some social groups (for example, some categories of farmers) can even "win", while others "lose" (for example, final consumers). These findings apparently introduce questions of social justice in the evaluation of the impacts of climate change.

The objective of this paper is to analyse and discuss the case of the two urban areas located on the sides of the Strait of Messina, trying to explain this case as part of the wider international economic and territorial cutting‐edge literature on twin cities, and on the benefits deriving from their potential integration. It emerges that Reggio Calabria and Messina have a natural inclination to integrate, because of their complementary geographical, territorial, and economic structure. Therefore, potential benefits can arise from dismantling the ‘walls’ that still exist between them. Moreover, the analyses show that the existence of these ‘walls’ is not neutral: indeed, it probably contributes to weaken the economy and society of these areas, making them more and more marginal. Transport services are, of course, the key factor, which has the potential to change the destiny of these two areas.

The paper presents and discusses the findings of a field research study undertaken in a rural area in the province of Reggio Calabria, in Southern Italy, focused on firms belonging to the agri-food sector, in particular, on the excellent firms. Its objective is to point out how, even in rural and extremely marginal areas, and in unfavourable socio-economic and institutional contexts, it is possible that excellent firms were born and grew, and that they became competitive at the national and global scale. The paper therefore analyses these entrepreneurial case studies in-depth, using a methodologically mixed approach: on the one hand, focusing on their economic performance (quantitative analysis), and, on the other hand, investigating their strategy by means of direct open interviews. The paper concludes by providing “lessons” useful to understand how firms can not only survive, but also can be competitive and expand their business, even if they are located in extremely unfavourable peripheral contexts. This can be achieved by exploiting the strengths of these territories, which, even if few, they do not lack.

Geographers interested in how entrepreneurs perceive locational environments have studied their mental maps in several European countries, within the theoretical framework provided by behavioral approach. Such studies have typically employed quantitative techniques, but qualitative studies are relatively new to this line of research. In this article, I examine the mental maps of entrepreneurs in Italy by using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. I present and discuss the qualitative outcomes of this research, focusing in particular on the explanatory location factors and the key influences on the mental maps of entrepreneurs. What emerges is the realization that entrepreneurs are far from being fully rational economic actors, who exploit optimally all information and who are driven only by objective considerations. Rather, their views are also affected by subjective factors, individual’s own insights, commonplaces, stereotypes, and prejudices, particularly with reference to the southern regions of Italy (Mezzogiorno), and of other peripheral areas.

The paper focuses on the socioeconomic impacts of drought events. Its objective is in particular to explore and study the distributive effects of drought events in the agricultural sector, taking the Po river basin, the most important agricultural area in Italy, as case study area. Its theoretical and methodological approach makes basis on the consumer surplus theory. One of the most remarkable outcomes of this analysis is that the effects of the drought events change considerably according to the social group. As far as agriculture is concerned, it shows that farmers and consumers are affected differently. Farmers can even earn from drought, because of the “price effect” caused by the scarcity of agricultural products; consumers always loses, because of the “quantity effect” and the “price effect”. Very different impacts, in terms of sign and magnitude, were also observed among the farmers themselves, in particular when they are distinguished by crop category, and by geographical area.

Drought is a natural hazard that can cause a wide range of impacts affecting the environment, society, and the economy. Providing an impact assessment and reducing vulnerability to these impacts for regions beyond the local scale, spanning political and sectoral boundaries, requires systematic and detailed data regarding impacts. This study presents an assessment of the diversity of drought impacts across Europe based on the European Drought Impact report Inventory (EDII), a unique research database that has collected close to 5000 impact reports from 33 European countries. The reported drought impacts were classified into major impact categories, each of which had a number of subtypes. The distribution of these categories and types was then analyzed over time, by country, across Europe and for particular drought events. The results show that impacts on agriculture and public water supply dominate the collection of drought impact reports for most countries and for all major drought events since the 1970s, while the number and relative fractions of reported impacts in other sectors can vary regionally and from event to event. The analysis also shows that reported impacts have increased over time as more media and website information has become available and environmental awareness has increased. Even though the distribution of impact categories is relatively consistent across Europe, the details of the reports show some differences. They confirm severe impacts in southern regions (particularly on agriculture and public water supply) and sector-specific impacts in central and northern regions (e.g., on forestry or energy production). The protocol developed thus enabled a new and more comprehensive view on drought impacts across Europe. Related studies have already developed statistical techniques to evaluate the link between drought indices and the categorized impacts using EDII data. The EDII is a living database and is a promising source for further research on drought impacts, vulnerabilities, and risks across Europe. A key result is the extensive variety of impacts found across Europe and its documentation. This insight can therefore inform drought policy planning at national to international levels.
