infrastrutture sociali / di tipo sociale
Explanation:
Ciao frakie, in questo paper (http://www.istat.it/dati/catalogo/20060512_00/inf_0607_infra... l'Istat traduce semplicemente con "infrastrutture sociali" o "infrastrutture di tipo sociale":

Niles M. Hansen distingue le **infrastrutture** in economiche e **sociali** a seconda che agiscano sul livello di sviluppo economico di un territorio in modo diretto o indiretto. «The division of local public overhead capital (OC) into two components, “social” overhead capital (SOC) and “economic” overhead capital (EOC). […] Those items classified as EOC are primarily oriented toward the support of directly productive activities or toward the movement of economic goods. SOC items […] may also increase productivity, the way in which they do so is much less direct than in the case for EOC items». Le **infrastrutture di tipo economico**, che
supportano direttamente le attività produttive, sono strade, autostrade, aeroporti, trasporto navale, reti fognarie, acquedotti, reti di distribuzione dell’acqua, reti del gas, dell’elettricità, impianti di irrigazione e strutture per il trasferimento delle merci. Le **infrastrutture di tipo sociale**, finalizzate ad accrescere il benessere sociale e indirettamente ad agire sulla produttività economica, sono scuole, strutture per la sicurezza pubblica, edilizia pubblica (non riconducibile a spese di natura economica), impianti di smaltimento dei rifiuti, ospedali, impianti
sportivi, aree verdi, interventi di bonifica e risanamento urbano, case di riposo, strutture per l’assistenza residenziale (Hansen, 1965).

Il concetto di "social overhead capital" è stato introdotto da Hirschmann:

http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=978052...
Technological progress induced by the availability of social infrastructure and the accompanying increase in investment activities in the stock of privately owned scarce resources may be regarded as the central issue in the theory of social infrastructure, particularly within the context of developing nations, as examined in detail by Hirschman (1958) in terms of the concept of social overhead capital. Social overhead capital as defined by Hirschman comprises those basic services without which primary, secondary, and tertiary productive activities cannot function. In its wider sense, **social overhead capital includes all public services, including law and order, education, public health, transportation, communications, and power and water supplies, as well as agricultural overhead capital such as irrigation and drainage systems**.
