Gli scenari di sviluppo nelle aree interne e rurali
2020
Le zone interne, spesso coincidenti con lo spazio rurale esprimono dimensioni sociali, politiche ed economiche, espressioni della cultura locale. La capacità di innescare processi che mirano contemporaneamente a creare economia, valore sociale e ambientale attraverso innovative formule organizzative indicano nuovi ruoli e responsabilità sono fondamentali. per la costruzione dello sviluppo L'innovazione deve prestare attenzione alla necessità di una transizione socio-ecologica della società e dell'economia. L'ambiente naturale e' considerato un elemento centrale nelle strategie di sviluppo, fonte insostituibile per la sopravvivenza stessa dell'uomo. Il lavoro schematizza una nuova visione de…
Commoning of territorial heritage and tools of participated sustainability for the production and enhancement of agro-environmental public goods
2021
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to analyze how the commoning heritage processes find application for the production of agro-environmental public goods in contexts of high socio-economic marginality and environmental vulnerability, characterized by abandonment and from the consumption of agricultural land for food use. The purpose is to understand how these processes are able to influence, at local level, the governance processes for the implementation of environmental protection strategies. The survey made it possible to verify how the commoning processes aimed at the production of agro-environmental goods generate territorial resilience, understood as a community competence able to st…
Aligning Inner Peripheries with rural development in Italy: Territorial evidence to support policy contextualization
2021
Abstract Inner Peripheries is a recent concept based on both peripherality and marginality features, thus far from the commonly adopted geographical notion of periphery. Inner Peripheries are fragile territories covering rural Europe, which suffer from depopulation, low economic potential, and weak territorial cohesion. However, these territories are extremely important for the provision of goods and services, and the stewardship of natural and semi-natural environments. Such dichotomous condition poses several challenges for planning in the EU context, particularly regarding the implementation of the Rural Development Policy. Therefore, current planning needs to contextualize the policy im…

Sicilian Mountain municipalities and inland areas are the engine for the harmonious development of the entire region. Saving the cultural identity of these places, encouraging entrepreneurial activity, optimizing the network of services, especially in education and healthcare, is an act due to the new generations. This article wants to stimulate the creation of a strong constructive-cultural identity in resident citizenship and to hypothesis communication strategies which are useful for the enhancement of cultural resources and also of compatible technological & sustainable innovation. To this challenge is associated the shared creation - through the European Erasmus+ Project Smart Reha…
Inner Areas between theories and practices. An ongoing laboratory
2022
The contribution proposes a reflection on the laboratories that are being formed in inner areas, and in which universities and researchers play a central role both from a technical point of view and in the advancement of theoretical reflection. The article is structured in four parts: it starts with a framework on inner areas as a place of fragility and opportunity, it moves on to the laboratory dimension that is triggered in the relationship with institutions, such as the university. It concludes with a reflection on the rooting dimension that the laboratory engenders in a territory.
Inner peripheries: dealing with peripherality and marginality issues within the European policy framework
2020
Abstract : Inner Peripheries is a complex and often misinterpreted concept, as demonstrated by current scientific evidence. Such complexity derives from the intrinsic peripherality and marginality characteristics of the Inner Peripheries. Despite Inner Peripheries suffer from geographical and socio-economic disparities, their environmental, social and economic potentialities are not fully expressed, and thus can be further strengthened by both the EU Cohesion and Rural Development Policies. However, there is currently a lack of knowledge about the linkages between the Inner Peripheries and both Cohesion and Rural Development Policies, which could limit the effectiveness of planning strategi…
Co-creative Communities and Resilience Accelerators. Sicani Hills in Sicily
2022
The contribution asks for a change of perspective, addressing inner areas as motors of innovation and test-fields for new dynamics of development and more adaptive processes, looking at co-creative communities and the potentials and resources specifically connected to space, settlements, and landscapes. The reactivation of small towns can catalyze tourism and community’s resilience through targeted transformations of built heritage and unused building stock, social innovation initiatives, and new forms of production. In order to return to inhabit inner areas, new infrastructures and basic services are needed, but also new perspectives and projects able to radically change production, consum…
B4R Branding4Resilience. Tourist infrastructure as a tool to enhance small villages by drawing resilient communities and new open habitats
2021
“Marginal” areas are a central issue that is being discussed all over Europe. Indeed, more than 60% of the European population live in peripheral contexts outside of main urban conurbations (Data “EUROSTAT regional yearbook 2013”. Data referred to the sum of the population in ‘intermediate regions’ and in ‘rural areas’ in the EU27). Yet, the contexts addressed by the Italian National Strategy on Inner Areas (covering approximately the 60 per cent of Italy and hosting nearly 13.540 million people) are often lacking successful regional policies and systemic territorial approaches to achieve effective transformations. In order to tackle with such fragile areas, a new development path has to be…
Fostering resilience in Inner Areas. The Sicani case study in Sicily
2022
In recent years, the theme of the regeneration of small centres in fragile and marginal areas has returned to the centre of the Italian debate and public policies, as well as resilience practices in which culturally-based regenera-tion projects, community cooperatives and resettlement processes are based on a spatial dimension capable of playing an active and unprecedented role. The COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing has reignited the debate on fragile areas, reinforcing the perception of those territorial ine-qualities between metropolitan and inner areas exacerbated by the crisis. In fact, the pandemic has further highlighted the serious shortcomings in the provision of servi…
The Peripheri-City of the Inner Areas: Local Development in the Sicani Territory
2018
The inner peripheries are now subject to territorial and social metamorphosis in the sense that they are returning to be attractive places for younger generations through the rediscovery of the potential that they offer in terms of esources and propensity to change. Characterised by an ev-ergrowing number of bottom-up innovation experiences of both traditional crafts and agricultural production, and with abandoned sites in social and cultural places having been recovered, thus allowing the rediscovery the sense of sharing and conviviality typical of these places in the past to be rediscovered, these sites presently need to be discussed, described, and thought of in a new way. The experience…
