The growing interest in the enhancement, management, and sale of public building stock has increased the importance of their valuation and, as a result, the need to identify suitable methods for estimating value that take into account their peculiarities. They often boast architectural features (interfloor distance, layout, finishings, types of wiring/heating systems, etc.) that make them ‘extraordinary’ assets; in some cases, these features also endow them with monumental and/or historical importance. Thus, when valuating, it is necessary to adopt suitable methods. Where comparable examples or income-based parameters specifically concerning buildings with special features are lacking, the Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) method is the only system that can be used to estimate their market value. This paper aims to show how the DRC method can be applied in this specific market. The theoretical part will be coupled with a practical section where the DRC method will be used to estimate the market value of an extraordinary landmark building in Rome (Italy), the Palazzo degli Archivi di Stato (the State Archives building), in the EUR district, sold by EUR S.p.A. group (formerly known as Ente EUR) in 2015.

The Vesuvian Villas are a system of architectural assets that, due to important artistic, historical and typological characteristics, have relevance that is not only local. However, due to ineffective management policies and insufficient financial resources, the system of the Vesuvian Villas is subject to abandonment or to invasive transformations for speculative purposes. The management policies for these real estate goods would require a profound theoretical and operational review that, together with the overcoming of the binding instrument as the only guarantee of protection, pursues conservation through synergies founded on appropriate uses of the Vesuvian Villas. This innovative path is difficult to implement due to the substantial rigidity of the architectural structures and the transformations aimed at renewing the forms of use, but mostly for the lack of available financial resources. Starting from the analysis of the relationships between conservation and transformation of the historical architectural asset, the paper proposes a multicriteria analysis model for the evaluation of the "vocational" nature of the "Villa Vesuviana" property, aimed to its conservative reuse. This suitability was assessed starting from a set of indicators explaining the actual state of the building (typological, morphological, structural and artistic characteristics) and its location. The indicators have been evaluated through qualitative judgments made using the hierarchical analysis technique. Particular attention was paid to the evaluation of synergies deriving from complementary uses.

According to Italian legislation for a particular type of real property—lands/areas subject to buildability, but not yet currently buildable—there is a problem related to their “qualification”, or whether or not they must be considered buildable for the purposes of their recurrent taxation. These potentially buildable (POBU) areas, that were previously zoned as “agricultural”, have been rezoned as “general urban planning instruments/regulations” (the General Urban Development Plans or variances, which regulate land governance), whose approval path has yet to be concluded. Their value—the taxable base underpinning their taxation—clearly depends on their qualification (whether or not they are considered buildable). This has produced, in recent years, several disputes between owners and local governments; the law did not give univocal solutions: Today (2019), there is a conflict of case law in relation to considering these areas as being building areas, as it is not clear what estimating procedures should be used. This article is thus based on the assumption that responding to the problems connected with taxing POBU areas must be considered separately from (overcoming, in this way, conflicting case law) the “virtual” qualification of agricultural or buildable area, but must instead, and more simply, be considered as the actual condition it is found in (likelihood of having building potential in the future), and therefore its limitations (present at the time of taxation) and the time necessary for the building to actually be built and not just “potential”. The approach proposed in this article thus offers a solution to the problem that has been raised, by modifying the current de jure approach (defining the moment when the building right is manifested) towards an assessment/appraisal approach (defining the value of the potentially buildable (POBU) area, in relation to its actual conditions). To implement this approach, a methodology—proposing an upgrade of the traditional analytic procedure for the assessment of transformation value has been structured in a way such that consideration may be made of the components characterizing the potentially buildable areas by means of appropriate assessment parameters that go towards forming these areas’ value: These are the market value discount rate of the POBU area in relation to the uncertainty and risk of reaching effective and concrete buildability, and the estimated time needed to complete the procedural path for making the area actually buildable.

Many contemporary architectural design projects, frequently characterized by the interaction between creativity, beauty and innovation, reflect the changes in consumption models. Also with specific reference to retail spaces, the concept of store has developed into something that includes knowledge, discovery and seduction in addition to the traditional selling of products. The passage from material to immaterial culture in the digital era, conduces to design spaces able to offer an experience, more than a product, as in the several projects for Prada'Stores. In this changing scenario, the worldwide famous brand Bata Co., with its very long tradition - founded in 1894 - constitutes one of the most successful examples of how a smart management system finds into its spaces of production and distribution a creative correspondence. It is not a case that from Bata derives one of the most emblematic example to conceive the modern retail spaces, thanks to the projects of Le Corbusier. Nowadays, in the face of challenges of digital innovation, among the several typologies of retail spaces, the traditional store is going through a profound transformation, in addition to being a strategic segment in the real estate market. In the last few years, in fact, Informative systems, Technologies, IT platforms, are radically changing the customers' purchasing process – the customer experience -, affecting more and more the re-design of spaces, processes and functionality of the store. Technological development not only is changing purchasing behaviour but it also is determining the need to deal with radical changes in the current stores to make them more attractive for tenants and property investor. In this perspective the article, starting from the comparison between two different ways to conceive the commercial spaces (functionalism in Bata and spectacle in Prada) and highlighting the role of the new consumer, deals with some evaluative aspects in the new retail design. An overview of the retail from the perspective of the real estate market, confirms as it is in constantly expanding in the international arena; in Italy, also if positive signs affect all kinds of retail (high street, commercial centers, outlets, etc.), new challenges arise for the small and traditional retail stores. With specific reference to the project of the physical space of the new retail store, the business analysis involves some aspects, such as the so called "soft costs" sustained for re-design the relationship with the customer/consumer, which deserve further insights in the new culture of Retail Design.

The following paper analyzes the phenomenon of Street Art with particular attention to the increasing correlation between practices of Street Art and socio-economic dynamics. From the perspective of recognizing a possible formulation of the economic value of Street Art, the paper aims to describe the impacts which Street Art is having in some urban contexts, where the regeneration processes have found in this new form of “re-signification” an innovative modality of intervention. Some impacts have economic nature (direct, indirect or inducted), others are only social and cultural. Starting from an overview concerning the impacts of Street Art on the property market in several urban contexts, a first evaluation of what is happening in some neighborhoods of the metropolitan city of Naples is presented.

The Encyclical Letter Laudato sì of the Holy Father Francis on Care for Our Common Home recognizes historic, artistic and cultural patrimony—which is, like the patrimony of nature, under threat—«part of the shared identity of each place and a foundation upon which to build a habitable city» (§ 143). At the same time, social love—a key to authentic development—«moves us to devise larger strategies to halt environmental degradation and to encourage a “culture of care” which permeates all of society» (§ 231). The theme of the care of the historic, artistic and cultural patrimony for a “human and sustainable city” is traditionally a matter of concern for the appraisal and evaluation disciplines which, starting from the formulation of the “social use value”, have offered a meaningful development of methodological frameworks and innovative approaches. In this perspective and in the light of the significant and audacious reflections which the Holy Father Francis proposes on a possible “theology of the city”, the article seeks to address the issue of finding the necessary resources for the “care” of historic, artistic and cultural patrimony—in Italy diffusely “world heritage sites”—also considering the most recent ministerial initiatives for their valorization. With specific reference to the financial mechanisms and to the fiscal incentives to encourage the support of the private subjects in the conservation activities, if on the side of the public cultural goods, the most recently provisions tries to align Italy to others European countries, on the side of the cultural goods of private property, the question of the incentives is more delicate and complex, as this article will try to highlight.

The subject of study is developed in multidisciplinary form. From the point of view of graphics analysis and expression, the languages and techniques of putting murals in the Neapolitan suburbs will be examined. The intent is to study: the relationship between surfaces and volumes; shape and the image displayed to highlight its geometric representation methodologies; the aesthetic languages used by street artists in relation to the poetics of urban regeneration. From the point of view of urban economics, it is particularly interesting to check the different impacts that street art is having in these realities (as for example, in New York or London, where the impacts also on the real estate market has long been verified), where urban regeneration processes find in this new form of graphic communication a mode of intervention in the pursuing of physical, social and economic sustainability, in alternative to the public administration intervention (still too inert). In this perspective the contribution analyzes what is happening in some western and eastern peripheral districts of Naples with particular reference to the Ponticelli and Scampia-Marianella districts (8th Municipality).

The database presented was collected to analyze the housing rental prices for a central urban area of Naples (Italy) during 2016. The data sample relates to 64 housing units located in "Santa Lucia" and "Riviera di Chiaia" neighborhoods. It provides significant information on the urban structure of these neighborhoods. The variables are indicators elaborated from official data sources: real estate rental price, commercial area, maintenance status, number of floor level of housing unit, geographical position. The geographical position is expressed assigning a prefixed sequence of characters to each housing unit, so as to classify every housing unit as falling to a defined sub-area with homogeneous values. The urban area considered is subdivided in five sub-areas. The five subzones are homogeneous in terms of services and infrastructure qualification.

According to Eurostat, Italy is the fifth country of the European Union per immigrant population. The complexity of the phenomenon, as it has evolved in recent years, leads to analyzing it from a specific point of view, that of the real estate market. The article represents the early stage of research on the housing condition of the immigrant population in the Southern Italy and its effect on the housing market. First, we describe the spatial segregation phenomenon affecting the immigrant population in Campania Region; then we analyze data of the municipality of Castel Volturno, which has one of the greater migratory pressure throughout the whole region. We provide statistical regressions correlating housing prices and socio-economic features from 2006 to 2016. The results confirm the findings of the current literature on the subject: there is a specific phenomenon associated with the presence of an immigrant population residing in conjunction with a reduction of housing prices.

This paper experiments an artificial neural networks model with Bayesian approach on a small real estate sample. The output distribution has been calculated operating a numerical integration on the weights space with the Markov Chain Hybrid Monte Carlo Method (MCHMCM). On the same real estate sample, MCHMCM has been compared with a neural networks model (NNs), traditional multiple regression analysis (MRA) and the Penalized Spline Semiparametric Method (PSSM). All four methods have been developed for testing the forecasting capacity and reliability of MCHMCM in the real estate field. The Markov Chain Hybrid Monte Carlo Method has proved to be the best model with an absolute average percentage error of 6.61%.

Nowadays the quality of homes and social life are two closely interacting categories which require a more careful interpretation of the users' needs. Their opinions, expectations and "desires" have to be incorporated into both the design and evaluation processes. With specific reference to the experiences of public housing, the practice of "user satisfaction" should be increasingly incorporated during the ex-post (or monitoring) evaluation in order to verify the quality and validity of the service offered, thus activating a real co-participation of the user in the creation and improvement of the housing service. It is well-known that the principle of customer satisfaction derives from the field of marketing as a tool to evaluate how and how much the products/services offered meet the needs of the consumers. In the field of the construction industry, customer satisfaction has been incorporated into the "Post-Occupation Evaluation", an evaluation tool of the performance of the building "in use" through the combination of objective and subjective variables expressed by the occupiers. Widely used since the 1970s in Anglo-Saxon countries, Italy is still struggling to find a systematic implementation. In this perspective, the article presents an application of the customer satisfaction method for the identification of some interventions aimed at improving the quality of a complex of public residential housing localized in Ponticelli, the second most populated district in the outskirts of the metropolitan city of Naples, in the Campania Region (Italy). Following a synthetic introduction of the theme and the explanation of the object of evaluation, the article discusses the methodology and the results, focalizing on some intervention hypotheses verified in terms of economic sustainability.
