CNR-JSPS Bilateral Program 2018-2019: “Damage assessment and conservation of underground space as valuable resources for human activities use in Italy and Japan”
Presentation at the first visit of the Italian team in Japan (June 2018)
Bruno Venditto (CNR-ISSM): "Exploring Namibian’s Underground Built Assets: Should they receive a “Heritage” status? “
Namibia underground assets are largely untapped considering the fundamental role that culture and heritage play to promote national and local development. It is hence important identifying, protecting and managing those assets.
When deciding on a course of action, one must be cognisant that the sites cannot be moved in order to preserve them, they are non-renewable heritage resources which remain for the future generation only for as long as the authority cherish and protect them. The most sustainable way to protect these sites is to have local community as caretakers who should see them as resources. If wisely cared for, they can become an important archaeo-tourism destination and educational centre.
An illustrated introduction to Archaeological Tours' Megaliths and Monuments study tour for May 2016. The tour visits four Paleolithic occupation sites, two dozen Neolithic megalith sites and several historical monuments including Mont-Saint-Michel. Lodgings are taken in Paris, Carnac, Quimper, Morlaix, Saint-Malo, Salisbury and London Heathrow.
The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC), which is the Peak Council of geoscientists in Australia representing eight major Australian geoscientific societies with a total membership of over 8,000 individuals, is currently consulting with state/territory government agencies with the aim of developing a national strategy predicated on consideration of a number of broad topics which include identifying mechanisms for collaboration with providers of other areas of natural (bioregion) and cultural heritage content, inclusive of mining heritage. Through the auspices particularly of the Heritage Committee of the AusIMM (an AGC member), it has been recognised that much of Australia’s rich mining heritage, including many outstanding mineral collections, has not been adequately integrated into tourism product development.

Limestone and its interbedded marl deposits form an economic resource that was utilized at El-Hibeh, ancient Teudjoi/Ankyrononpolis, a tell mound in middle Egypt. The archaeological site contains the small Amun temple, at least two limestone (packstone) quarries, statues, sarcophagus lids and bases, limestone (packstone) construction blocks with and without relief, and major mudbrick structures. The temple blocks are made from a local packstone-limestone that has been saturated by Nile River water and is deteriorating at a rapid pace. The limestone at El-Hibeh is a packstone. Several packstone quarries occur in the archaeological site. One appears to be of recent vintage and was mined using modern drilling and blasting techniques. Another is an ancient quarry that utilized natural sedimentary and structural features of the packstone-marl deposits to manufacture blocks for various utilitarian purposes.

In formulating a national strategy for geotourism development, the Australian Geoscience Council
Inc (AGC) has consulted with both the Heritage Committee and the Society of Social and
Environment (The Society) of The AusIMM to determine how best the development
of geotourism throughout Australia can enhance the scope of regional development of mining areas
during current mining activities and after mine closure. Geotourism adds considerable holistic
content value to traditional nature-based tourism as well as cultural attributes (embracing both
Aboriginal and post European settlement) having regard to mining aspects and can be delivered

Tracing the roots of kenya’s tourism: Archaelogical and Colonial DimensionDr. Ray' Mutinda, N.
Since Kenya’s independence in 1963, its tourism industry has grown to become one of the most significant sectors of the country’s economy. As one of the top African tourist destinations, Kenya boasts of a rich mix of tourism markets and products including the African wildlife safari, white sand beaches, MICE products, culture and heritage. Underlying such growth and market-product portfolio is a rich heritage founded on archaeology and colonial history. As observed by Crompton (quoted in Jommo 1987) tourism in Kenya was instituted during the colonial period as a “European hedonocracy”- a leisure-oriented activity for which only Europeans were equipped culturally, economically and socially to take part in, and around which they reserved for themselves the right to undertake entrepreneurial activity. Added to this colonial heritage, Kenya’s tourism industry is dotted with rich archaeological sites showcasing various stages of the development and evolution of early man. Within this heritage features pre-historic fossil heritage dating over 100 Million years ago including such important sites like Koobi Fora, a prehistoric site that has produced a great wealth of fossil evidence on the evolution of man dating over 4.2 million years; the Hyrax Hill, a neolithic excavation site dating from 1500 B.C; Pate Island, an ancient port town where evidence of human activity dating back from the 7th century has been found; and Olorgesailie, where the skull of Homo erectus was unearthed. Others include Kariandusi, Fort Jesus, and other religio-colonial period historic sites. These archaeological sites have become key cultural and heritage tourist attractions in Kenya. This paper traces the contribution of archaeology and colonial history to the evolution and development of tourism in Kenya.

Ricerca-azione e transdisciplinarietà nel focus sul Mediterraneo
La ricerca studia e analizza il mondo nelle sue trasformazioni, nelle dinamiche tra fenomeni storici, culturali, economici, sociali, antropologici, ambientali, politici, climatici, biologici e tecnologici. Attraverso il trasferimento della conoscenza che ne deriva, favorisce la crescita della società.
Sviluppare e mettere in relazione i risultati della ricerca transdisciplinare consente infatti di cogliere la specificità e la complessità delle dinamiche socio-culturali, economiche e politiche dei Paesi mediterranei, offrendo proiezioni e possibili scenari futuri a supporto della governance e dei decisori politici.
Il contributo della ricerca dell’Istituto di Studi sul Mediterraneo del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche è quindi concretamente rivolto al benessere di ogni essere umano, nel rispetto delle dignità di ciascuno e nella valorizzazione delle diversità, delle biodiversità e delle moltepici identità culturali che ne caratterizzano l’unicità.

Nel Webinar "Napoli Domani: lavoro, sviluppo, cittadinanza", organizzato da CGIL-CISL-UIL, sono state affrontate tutte le criticità che l'area metropolitana di Napoli dovrà affrontare a seguito della crisi generata dalla Pandemia Covid-19. I sindacati hanno stilato un documento da cui emerge la necessità di avviare un percorso di sviluppo dell'area metropolitana che sia "digitale, sostenibile e solidale".
In quest'ambito Roberto Micera (CNR-ISMed) evidenzia che il turismo è una risorsa strategica per l'economia del territorio, le cui potenzialità restano ancora inespresse. La crisi, nonostante le difficoltà ed i cambiamenti radicali provocati dalla pandemia, potrebbe divenire una grande opportunità per rivedere i modelli di "governance" del turismo dell'area metropolitana di Napoli e far sì che questo fenomeno possa contribuire in modo organico e sistematico (non più occasionale e spontaneo) allo sviluppo sostenibile del territorio.

Internal migration and gender empowerment: Empirical finding from NamibiaCNR-ISMed
CNR-JSPS Bilateral Program 2018-2019: “Damage assessment and conservation of underground space as valuable resources for human activities use in Italy and Japan”
Presentation at the first visit of the Italian team in Japan (June 2018)
Bruno Venditto (CNR-ISSM): "Internal migration and gender empowerment: Empirical finding from Namibia".
ABSTRACT: The presentation show how social mobility, and gender empowerment, emerged as the most relevant amongst the effects of migration on the family structures, and inside the home community; an indication of both the relevance that social rather than economic reasons alone, have in explaining the drivers to migrate, and of the capacity of migration to transform the external social structures.
The agency migrant is at the same time dependent from the social norms, but looks for and creates a separateness environment, balancing the responsibilities towards the family and the own personal plans. The social norms are embedded in the migrant self, but when coming to the decision to move, the agency acts to achieve the own personal objectives, which are not limited to the financial satisfaction, in this way migration decision is also separated from the structural economic constrains.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic animals in District Ban...Open Access Research Paper
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular zoonotic protozoan parasite, infect both humans and animals population worldwide. It can also cause abortion and inborn disease in humans and livestock population. In the present study total of 313 domestic animals were screened for Toxoplasma gondii infection. Of which 45 cows, 55 buffalos, 68 goats, 60 sheep and 85 shaver chicken were tested. Among these 40 (88.88%) cows were negative and 05 (11.12%) were positive. Similarly 55 (92.72%) buffalos were negative and 04 (07.28%) were positive. In goats 68 (98.52%) were negative and 01 (01.48%) was recorded positive. In sheep and shaver chicken the infection were not recorded.

South West Africa was a German colony till 1915, after
WWI it was administrated as a South African
protectorate, de facto it was a South African province
and was subject to the same apartheid regime. In 1990
after a prolonged liberation struggle started in the sixty,
Namibia gained its independence. In this 28 years the
country had to tackle the structural imbalances
determined by more than 100 years of colonisation which
had left it with a dual economy dependent of extraction
of raw materials (diamonds, among the main one).

the benefit of future generations
Currently Namibia has 119 sites declared as National
heritage, divided into Cultural, Natural and Intangible
sites, the majority of them are Natural sites, some are
cultural and only a few are Intangible sites.
The Natural sites of Twyvfelfontain (2007) and the
Namib Sand Sea (2013) are the only two Namibian’s

concentrations of rock art in the world) with Botswana
5. Namibian National Heritage:
The state of the art
There are 8 sites in the UNESCO tentative list:
• Branderberg National Monument Area (2002)
• Fishriver Canyon (2002)
• Welwitschia Plants (2002)
• Benguela Current Marine Ecosystem Site (2016)
• Etosha Pan (2016)
• Sân Living Cultural Landscape (2016)
• Succulent Karoo Protected Area (2016)
• Okavango Delta (2016)
8. Tsodilo
ツォディロ
Located near the Namibian –Botswana border the Tsodilo Hills have provided shelter and other resources to
people for over 100,000 years. It represent not only a remarkable archaeological site for its rock arts, and its
continuing traditions, but it also represents a place which indicates how over many thousands of years the
symbiotic nature/human relationship has evolved

9. Underground Built Assets:
Namibian Categories
Cavities constructed in the subsoil:
Excavation in gallery is realised by removing
the rock entirely underground. The walls are
then coated with different masonry
techniques.
Caves with anthropogenic interventions.
Natural caves that have undergone limited
human interventions. They represent the
boundary between the natural caves and those
of artificial origin
10. Underground built assets represent an immense heritage
which could be used to generate new functions or to revisit
and restore the old function based on their historical and
economic uses in order to develop sustainable activities
Issues to considers
• Security: conservation of the sites...
• Maintenance: which parts of the heritage should be
preserved and used for different purposes
• Institutional: Public/Private use-property of the sites
• Involvement of local actors for promotion of local
development
Underground Built Heritage

Cave of Bushman Paradise
The complex of underground artifacts caved in the past to manage
urban functions and now significant part of local cultural heritage
The paintings in the Cave
of Bushman Paradise
itself are situated under
a overhang at the head of
a amphitheatre and
shows numerous humans
and animals and a sphinx.
The monument also
includes two caves
diagonally opposite from
there that also contain
paintings plus a waterfall
below them with its
catchment area. The
paintings have been
known since the beginning
of the 20th century

13. Namibian Underground Built Assets:
Apollo 11
Apollo 11 site is important for the
understanding of the Middle Stone Age
period in southern Africa. The
conditions of the site at the start of
the fieldwork in 2007 were shocking:
the refill of the old excavation, action
should be implemented to protect this
heritage site of worldwide
archaeological significance.

14. Namibian Underground Built Assets:
Oase Cave
The paintings date from various periods, there are 71 individual paintings or groups thereof they
depict:
Various animals
A group of 60 people.
A number of hunting scenes.
2 x pairs of humans in a hut
15. Namibian Underground Built Assets:
The Mines
Mining in Namibia dates as far back
as more than 400 years ago, as
evidenced from archeological work
of copper smelting at Matchless
mine, located about 40 km west of
Windhoek. Even long before mining
technology was introduced,
Namibians have been smelting
copper in anthills, with aid of
charcoal, in the Otavi Mountainland
The legacy of this long mining
history is an inventory of more than
260 mines which were abandoned
by their owners, of these 150 have
been censed.

16. Namibian Underground Built Assets:
The Mines
Mining –These structures can reach huge depths and
development. The 150 + mines censed indicate that they
have been closed in a period ranging from 1905 to 1999
– Quarries,
– Metal mines
– Mines and quarries of other materials (non-metallic)
– Underground quarries
– Traces of excavation activities aimed at the
identification of mineral deposits.
17. Namibian Underground Built Assets:
The Berg Mine
The Berg Aukas, locality has become
widely known following the discovery in
1991 of a Miocene hominoid mandible in
rubble from the mine
With the cessation of mining activity, level
5 of shaft No. 1 is currently under at least
100 m of water. It is, therefore, unlikely that
we shall ever gain any contextual
information pertaining to the provenance or
age of the hominid femur.
18. The Way Forward
Selection of sites, Individuation of the most suitable based
on the historical function/use
Assign an heritage function
Monitoring, communication of historical functions,
restoration, fruition (installations of technological
instruments to diffuse / reconstruct the site
underground life)
Same functions as in the
past: the historical sites
restored and used again
according new parameters
(productive spaces
reinvented according to the
contemporary standards,
sustainable living)
New functions: the sites
are restored and new
functions are located but
the communicative role is
preserved (shops, hotels,
restaurants, urban
facilities in pre-existent
underground spaces)
19. Considering the fundamental role that culture and heritage play
to promote national and local development, identifying
protecting and managing Namibian underground heritage assets
should be encouraged.
When deciding on a course of action, one must be cognisant that
the sites cannot be moved in order to preserve them and they
are also non-renewable heritage resources which remain for the
future generation only for as long as we cherish and protect
them.
The most sustainable way to protect these sites is to have local
community as caretakers who see them as resources. If wisely
cared for, they can become an important archaeo-tourism
destination and educational centre.
