Paths and Erratic Emotions of Natural and Cultural Landscapes: Mobility, Slow Fruition and Exploration of Economic Potentiality

subject

description

In recent years there is greater awareness of the need to match up the large amount of historical and environmental heritage of the Italian territory with the quality and concentration of cultural heritage and tourist services and put them into a network, through a new system of mobility. Urban and territorial policies should identify strategies and projects favoring the connections and use of sites, the perception of landscapes and the subjective emotions they arouse in the community. This interdisciplinary paper aims to rediscover the values and diversity of natural and cultural landscapes in Sicily by following slow routes immersed in valuable rural and urban areas. The proposed investigation by micro-economic method provides the private and public parties interested with initial useful information on the potentiality of implementing services enabling visitors to enjoy environmental and cultural goods, which often represent the true side of territories.
