Large amounts of resources and energy are consumed in the building sector. However, in response to the growing awareness of global environment problems, those in the building sector also recognized the necessity of making contributions toward the mitigation of environmental problems.

The heart of darkness continues to envelop the sea-land relations , as witnessed by the suffering of migrants on the sea and also the new faces of the suffering city ( migrant's reception centers in Italy) . It is believed that culture has a role in unraveling the mystery.

Il presente lavoro propone una metodologia operativa per la definizione di coefficienti correttivi da applicare alle rendite catastali, definiti sulla base del contributo marginale della posizione al prezzo di mercato. L’importanza della posizione nella determinazione del valore di un immobile è confermata dalle analisi empiriche descritte nella letteratura e dalla prassi estimativa. La metodologia proposta è volutamente semplice, così da poter essere un utile strumento operativo per le Pubbliche Amministrazioni. Si discute il caso studio del mercato immobiliare della città di Torino.
