The aim of this analysis is a preliminary understanding of the firms’ illegal land-use dynamics. The paper empirically substantiates whether the firm’s illegal behavior and a set of macro and micro factors can lead to different degree of illegal land use expressed in term of m2. Through a unique data collection drawn from 342 judgments of the Italian court of cassation over the last six years a robust regression with M-estimation was carried out. Findings are interpreted with the idea that any illegal firms’ choice is oriented by a cost/benefit analysis both in case of legal firms and mafia-type organization. Thus the cost of detections as well as the benefits tied to the illegal business are emphasized. Finally, this is a preliminary analysis that has been conducted thanks to the members’ contribution of the Observatory of the territorial development (University of Salerno).

According to the idea of safety structures as systemic, we developed a framework that emphasizes how the engagement of all relevant social agents could play an active role in the whole safety performance. The hypothesis of this paper is that a systemic approach should imply a precise shift of perspective from a unit of analysis embedded in a general environment, with mutual effects on a given safety performance, to a general analysis of a system where interdependent agents affect system performance. Through the lens of organizational field theory, safety performance is intended as the sum of the activities of multi-agents oriented by normative and cultural principles set out at the societal level, specifically within the urban area boundaries. In doing so, the analysis describes the key agents and their activities according to four different safety stages: Prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. Institutional logics, distinguished as formal and informal, help to explain the behaviors and connections among agents. With the idea that a locally placed, organizational field reflects its peculiarity, we used four Italian towns located in two different areas of Campania, which live under the constant risk of a volcanic eruption, as examples. The results show how safety structures systems are contextual, characterized by locally embedded formal and informal rules, but not necessarily mutually aimed at orienting key agents to improve the safety performance. This contribution aims to support empirical analyses, natural experiments as well as qualitative studies to compare urban areas designed as safety-organizational fields from a multidisciplinary perspective. At the same time, we indicate some policy suggestions by emphasizing differences among organizational fields.
