Abstract
The northern area of Turin is involved in complex processes of transformation and regeneration articulated in a plurality of functions that support social revitalization and housing policies alongside temporary residential and commercial interventions. A specific district of Turin, Pietra Alta, is presented as an application case of the indicators and graphic codes that the methodological approach of the research is gradually outlining. The results, guided and supported by effective modes of representation, broaden the understanding of the hierarchy and criteria of the needs to move independently on foot and confirm that, given a safe and comfortable environment, people seek utility, a sense of belonging, and pleasantness as additional and distinct needs to enhance their experience of living in the city. Using survey data and assuming relief given by geo-referenced interviews, the proposed work emphasizes the integration of residents' perceptions and objective measures to understand the impact of environmental features on the behavior of neighborhood residents.
