Nimby beats where information hurts

"The committees that are fighting against the construction of public works such as motorways, incinerators, dumps ,.... are the real problem" Walter Veltroni
Application for the candidate for prime minister of PD:
Could it be that 194 cases of NIMBY syndrome in Italy dipendono dalla pessima comunicazione di politici e amministratori pubblici? Da progetti folli, spesso devastanti per il territorio? Dall'assenza di qualsiasi forma di partecipazione pubblica alle decisioni?

LIVORNO. Come ogni anno l’associazione Nimby forum ha presentato i risultati dell’analisi del fenomeno Nimby (atteggiamento che si riscontra nelle proteste contro opere di interesse pubblico che si teme possano avere effetti negativi sui territori in cui verranno costruite) così come viene presentata attraverso i media cartacei.

Il dato più immediato che emerge dall’analisi dell’Osservatorio Nimby Forum 2007 è che il fenomeno delle contestazioni territoriali ambientali riscuote un crescente interesse da parte dei media italiani, facendo riscontrare un progressivo aumento degli articoli censiti che nel corso della III edizione hanno raggiunto quota 4.116 (l’anno scorso erano 4020), e del numero di impianti contestati, ben 193 (nel 2006 furono 171).

E qui va subito sottolineato che in realtà le osservazioni del Nimby Forum si basano su un’evidenza provided objective analysis of the press, this means that the facilities at issue are classified as only those newspapers, magazines, etc.. reported as disputed territory. This means that there is still a big difference between the media glare and the size / number of disputes.

The ability of media to inform at least as correct terminology on individual issues, then it is far from sufficient, because as pointed out repeatedly in the newspapers there are more and more spin doctors had to know (inevitably little) issues more disparate, and while there is a sports reporter, the political, the legal and nerista, there is no environmental expert journalist, much less is present in the local press.

But is this a character of the Nimby syndrome: the fact that they always start from local conditions: in 70.9% of cases, the opposition is tied to a specific facility, marking a sharp increase compared to the same figure of last year ( 53.3%). In 9.1% of cases the dispute is over an entire production sector or a particular type of plant. Approximately 16% of the sample instead attacks of the type of plant, or a specific project.

It just happens to local media tend to pick up items are usually higher than those of the committees: for 62% reported negative positions and only the voice of some of the parties involved (the 39.4% are the statements of local public administrations and in 24.3% of citizens' committees, and only 5.2% of the manufacturer) . Also because only parts involved are discussing the problem of communicating between them and there is almost never the company.

Obviously it is not and can not just blame the media, as part of the companies the tendency is to assume the communication strategy as wrong, or hide it as long as possible and then during a storm hold your head in the sand until the situation is calm.

Finally it is worth to emphasize a small detail regarding Tuscany, where it is the highest ratio of machinery at issue and newspaper articles refer to the same challenges: to give you a comparison, in Tuscany, in front of 22 plants nimbyzzati there were 734 newspaper articles, in Lombardia challenged the 28 installations have collected "only" 396 items. On the one hand this could mean that this region in attention to environmental issues amongst the general public is higher than elsewhere (and that in any case could be read as a good thing), but other means just that media work, not as information but as a sounding board. And where it "sounds" more is ovvio che c´è maggiore......"risuonanza".

«C’è bisogno di un ritorno del senso di responsabilità di tutti i soggetti coinvolti – scrivono dal Nimby Forum - una visione del futuro che porti a una programmazione di sviluppo nel lungo termine. Per fare questo l’Italia deve ritrovare il senso del bene comune, cercare un rinnovamento delle procedure democratiche nella convinzione che tutela del territorio e sviluppo possono e devono convivere, per riuscire ad andare oltre il giardino».

Ma questo assomiglia molto alla "mozione degli affetti" che non è minimamente in grado di scalfire il cortocircuito fra informazione-partecipazione-decisione. Queste tre componenti (ed agite tutte e tre contemporaneamente) with the assumption of the criterion of sustainability as a prism, are the crucial levers through which decisions can be guaranteed, time and consensus. Then, as we have said many times, an area of \u200b\u200bdisagreement will always remain (and rightly so!) ..... But as it is quite clear and obvious, the problem of decision makers of today is not to suffer consensus, but to not tolerate dissent.
