3) Study of the languages of territory sociology, paying particular attention to the developments of this discipline in Italy in the last decades.  

More specifically, the activities that refer to these research lines are: study, analysis and comparison of facts that occur in a specific territory as a result of changes caused by globalisation processes, with a particular stress on environmental questions; territory promotion strategies that are based on a sustainable environmental and social approach; more in depth study of some issues relevant to the communication-environment-society relationship.  

 4) Study of work behaviours in the organisations paying particular attention to the developments of this discipline in Italy in the last decades.  More specifically the activities that refer to these research lines are: the wide range of personal, group and organisational techniques variables that define contingent situations n which people have to act.
