Abstract
The paper presents an integrated assessment process for the identification of scenarios of cultural landscape sustainable valorization in a particularly significant area of southern Italy characterized by tangible and intangible resources. The decision-making process uses multi-methodological evaluations in order to support the development of scenarios and alternatives policy strategies, aimed at pre-order a territory development system subject of study. The methodological pathway is structured to allow the interaction among different techniques, which are selected in order to outline a decision support system, dynamic, flexible and adaptive, sensitive to the specificities of the context and oriented to the development of intervention strategies based on of experts and common knowledge, and on recognized and shared values. The selection of ‘conscious actions’ helps to reduce conflicts turning them in synergies, recognizing that the essential components of a landscape are multidimensional and complex and where interact different systems of values and relationships. Therefore, the strategies will be feasible or practicable in proportion to what projects will tend to achieve the idea of “scenario” for the site shared by social and institutional actors of the local system.
