Abstract

This paper presents the results of a textometric analysis carried out on the contents of the volume “Conversations with TeMA 1.2023” which collects, in the form of interviews, the reflections of 17 experts on the topic of spatial planning on seven open-ended questions questions. Textometric analysis enables for the systematic extraction of quantitative information from a textual corpus throughout the identification of words, text segments, and conceptual connections that are significant due to their frequency and textual relationships. The analysis provides quantitative and statistical insights into some topics that the TeMA Journal Editorial Board considers essential to define a shared and adequately updated strategy to boost the discipline. The purpose of this analysis, which prescinds from any form of judgements or interpretation about the content of the single answers, is to give an overview on the opinions collected, highlighting commonalities and focuses that may provide fruitful points for reflection for the evolution of spatial planning.
