Utilizzo della cartografia partecipativa per l'analisi dei food-ethnoscapes a Roma. Due quartieri a confrono : Esquilino e Torpignattara

The food-ethnoscapes, in the form of sole traders, have been identified, using a quantitative analysis approach, for two neighborhoods in Rome that, even though presenting very different structural characteristics, are the icons of this phenomenon in the city: Esquilino and Torpignattara. The work developed so far has led to the production of a series of interactive maps that, inside the Capital area, allow the localization of the geographical distribution of food-related commercial activities owned by a foreigner. A Neogeography approach has been chosen for the representation of the spatial distribution of the above mentioned activities. By means of this new methodology and the use of dedicated open-source software, it was possible to simplify the GIS complex cartographic techniques and to create maps accessible by non-expert users.
