CRITICAL MAP

Critical Map is a project of "participatory ciclocartografia" consisting of a common platform that allows cyclists to signal through an interactive map of what the problems are paths of Italian cities.

The Critical Map of Turin is widely used by cyclists citizens with reports of new bike lanes, suggestions of the best routes to take, areas to avoid problems with tracks or work in progress, reports of drinking fountains to quench your thirst, vendors and bicycle repair services, free wifi points ... There is no shortage right to the complaints and protests, but even the good news (obviously rare), as well as curiosity and posters for a culture cycle. In short, all the information useful and valuable for survival on two wheels in the city.

"It 's a tool to promote the idea of \u200b\u200bsustainable mobility at its center, giving the bike a representation of the ideal city, as it should be to meet our mobility needs."

Bosnian Remember: Emergency psychology ...


At Christmas 1999 I went to theater of operations (Balkans) with a joint delegation of the Ministry of Defense and the Military in Italy. I have visited many places affected by war, I had the opportunity to meet people from places including the new Police at that time was trained by the carabinieri. I listened carefully to the stories and I realized that the human and psychological preparation for emergencies is a primary factor for a person who touches the various theaters of operation where the catastrophe of various kinds is "gone". This need training on communication strategies in stuazioni operational. Returning to the importance of emergency psychology and I want to present some key concepts of''Psychology''emergency,''is the collective psychology of the emergency.''

The emergency psychology is''the specific field of study and application that aims, in an emergency, to preserve and to reset psychic equilibrium of the victims, their relatives and rescue workers, after the effect of destabilizing catastrophic and traumatic events in a broad sense.'' (M. Cusano, A. Napoli)

Specific aims are:
facilitate the repair of the torn social fabric;
Promote the recovery of identity and collective security;
Assist the public and private organizations in the activation of their interventions.
Underpin the Emperor of Peace (military).

The areas where most deals with the psychology of an emergency, then, are: The
-emergency and emergency psychological
-psychological phenomena characteristic of emergency situations;
-intervention techniques in emergency situations;

For''emergency situation'', according to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the Emergency Management Institute, means''an event that threatens, or may actually , damage to persons or property.'' The attention paid to the variable''threat''makes us understand that the recipients of psychological support in emergency situations are not only those who have suffered directly and specifically the traumatic event, but also those who have suffered in various ways the threat and thus the possible Consequences at the level of their physical and mental integrity. That definition also comes another important observation useful and fundamental to my experience in Bosnia. One morning before leaving for the Italian command in Sarajevo, Cardinal of the city told me "you see, dear Pasqualino ... peace here is a social psychological factors, and then collectively. Sure, it's most effective peace with the foreign military and their weapons rather than a land free and gratuitous violence. " In fact, the emergency may be involved in such a condition that people and things at once becomes an event to effect such a broad and widespread phenomenon that is characterized as a social system. This is what I believe happened in Bosnia-Herzegovina and that means that some emergency situations that determine the social system in its condition Overall, with inevitable effects on the individual and the community. And 'why, in my opinion, most psychological interventions occurring today in this country may still be considered an emergency intervention in psychology and should therefore be designed and planned as such. I also believe that today in the various "theaters" the specialist knowledge of the emergency psicolgiche should know, too, that the religions that characterize the social fabric. Not an easy task given that the theology seems to know only a few insiders. Requires a report and exchange of knowledge.

Finally, I think, for the experience, the situation where it is today Bosnia and Herzegovina allows us, according to the definitions, to consider a collective psychological emergency. The latter has the specific purpose of the study, prevention and treatment of psychological damages that are determined in the individual and psycho-social damage that occur in his community, following the experience of a disaster (whether of origin naturally or otherwise). Object of attention and study of collective psychology of the emergency are, therefore, both the individual and his community, whose existence is under threat from the same condition psicotraumatica or phenomena related to it''(A. Napoli). E 'therefore both should be careful when you plan to focus on actions to help those suffering from trauma''collective''. I conclude by saying that from this point of view I have seen many organizations operate in BiH paying proper attention to these two components, but the lion's share of the carries this armed force to ensure the safety and the restoration of civilian life. I believe that the presence of specialists-professionals of this kind.

In Italy first articles came out in emergency psychology in 1908, the earthquake of Messina in 1980, but still, after the Irpinia earthquake, struggling room for themselves the possibility of a psychological intervention in situations of high risk of trauma.
And here it is not beyond the occasional participation and disorganized, the intervention of individuals or small groups of psychologists who understood the risks of those involved, who were victims or rescuers.

is only in the last decade, however, that the emergency psychology begins to see the first official recognition, inter alia, with: the establishment by the Universities of specific Master. The first course is started in Padua, in 2004 (which I attended in that year), today received the support of the National Civil Protection, Furthermore, with the publication in the Official Gazette, No. 200, August 29, 2006, "Criteria of maximum on psychosocial interventions to be implemented in emergencies" in which it is expected the formation of EPE (Psychosocial Team for Emergencies), and yet the realization First Training Camp of the first Civil Defence Emergency in the Psychologists Italian Marco di Rovereto in September last year (which we have participated in PsiemItalia), strongly backed and organized by the President of the National Federation of Psychologists for the Peoples Dr Ranzato Louis, to name a few.
psychologists emergency, which are perceived primarily as emergency workers, are specialized to intervene in contexts usually unusual for them. Indeed, everything is different: via the shirts and structured setting, no appointments or meetings to set time, even the language changes and takes on their own, with the necessary adjustments, a specific technical vocabulary. Thus: emergency, triage, CISDA, CISM, PMA, CCS, COC, COM ... are words or symbols, which to a clinical psychologist, a psychotherapist or psychiatrist who do not care directly, they are commonly known. It is therefore important for us to cultivate these skills through workshops, tutorials, research and conferences that allow the comparison and the growth continues. Personally
over to have founded with some colleagues PsiemItalia Association, which aims to promote this new figure as a professional, thus exiting from volunteering, I am part, as a counselor, a psychologist for the Peoples of the Veneto, together with teachers' University and the master said.
Today, this branch of psychology certainly has useful content to share with other professionals of the emergency; information you need to take action while protecting its psychological dimension and that of people who come to the aid. Such protection, which must be part of the normal equipment of each operator, will at this point, just worn as a suit or a pair of gloves.
The reference model of the psychology of the emergency, however, is not centered on the psychosocial trauma but that's what. Psychological intervention, in fact, focuses on a disease to be cured but rather to preserve normality. The psychologist's role in activating crisis intervention is to help those involved in containing the level of stress to make up the lifestyle before you get to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder known or perhaps other psychiatric disorders as a result of reactivated retraumatization. The psychologist then
protect the "thinking space" in the confusion of events because ingeneratasi drama in which everything becomes chaotic and it is necessary to support each other not to feel lost, because a victim who feels helpless is more likely to develop PTSD. But the key thing
psychologist in emergency care is not anyone, rather it takes "care of ..." working the so-called psycho-social care and making psychoeducational interventions in order to illustrate the possible reactions to the victims of stress, symptoms that could present and methods for handling them.
interventions must be well organized and coordinated with the machine so that the relief effort is not only humanitarian but also humanizing.
It was thought then to the figure of psychologist as an expert in critical incident or disaster management and some of its areas of intervention include: environmental disasters, the diagnosis of terminal illness, reporting of deaths, the phenomena related to immigration ... and worked in emergency for example
- Responding to basic needs (eg food, clothing, shelter)
- Facilitating the survivors to recover a good night's sleep
- Protecting the privacy of the victim, even by the media
- Helping the survivors to be reunited with their families and loved ones
- Helping to take concrete steps to restore the normal rhythm of life before
- Supporting the rescuers through advice on reactions to stress and management techniques active intervention of debriefing and defusing.
models of stress management on the crisis most famous are the CISM (Critical Incident Stress Managenment) and CISDA (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing).
Both are ways and means structures and protocols.
