Assessing Heritage Significance: Decision Support Tools for Managing Landscape's Cultural Value in Southern Italy

Abstract:

The paper presents a three year research project aiming to design a methodological model for a management plan applicable to a cultural landscape case study, like Area Grecanica, Calabria, Italy. Its argued that the management planning should be seen as upstream activity of the intervention, with a view to the process related to territorial changes, the theme of sustainable development and the revitalization of place identity, as a tool for heritage recognition on a global scale, such as UNESCO WHS. In conclusion, the paper proposes a management plan "participated monitoring", seeking the involvement and participation of all landscape actors, setting as its scope to bring technical and common knowledge together in planning management.
