Geographical perspectives in research and didactics from other perspectives. Inputs from J-READING

This work has been envisaged as a contribution with several viewpoints coming from different scientific and disciplinary sectors, able to underline the potentialities of geographical perspectives in an interdiscipli-nary key, both in research and didactics. Th ese considerations are set out starting from the inputs provided by J -READING in its ten years of publications, contextualizing them in a wider framework of discussion. In particular the attention is focussed in terms of interactions with: hygiene, public health and challenges for social utility; volcanic and natural risks and the active involvement of the population; GIS models and applied research and didactics.
