UN PIANO CULTURALE INTEGRATO PER LA CITTÀ DI REGGIO CALABRIA: LA CULTURA COME BASE PER LO SVILUPPO LOCALE DEI TERRITORI

The purpose of this paper is to define a common framework of Cultural Planning application, in order to provide a range of theoretical and practical tools to combine the conservation - enhancement of cultural heritage and local development in urban and rural areas, where the management of cultural heritage can have a significant role improving the active participation of the community in public decision process. In conclusion, the paper argues the possibility of applying the Cultural Planning tool in the field of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria strategic planning.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.10.0

UN MODELLO APPLICATIVO PER LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PAESAGGIO CULTURALE DELLA DIETA MEDITERRANEA

This paper aims to present a research project, where the Mediterranean Diet, according to a multidisciplinary reading, becomes an opportunity and a valuable tool for the sustainable growth of the Inner Areas. The goal is to contribute to the development of the inner areas of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria and the methodology is based on the definition of a tool that allows the iden- tification of the correct assets of knowledge, planning and evaluation oriented towards the development of territorial resources. The scope is to present a model able to help in enhancing the contexts of local products, preserving the “tangible” elements that make up this ”intangible” lifestyle named Mediterranean Diet, in order to produce specific effective impacts on territories and communities. DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.11.1

Challenges and Opportunities for Assessing Cultural Landscape: an Ecomuseum for Cultural-Based Local Development

This study arises from applied research in regional contexts combined with a deep analysis of cultural landscape potential for socio-cultural and economic local development. In addition, it starts from a careful critical reflection on traditional governance models of naturalistic contexts located on the sidelines of metropolitan suburbs in delay development. It is aimed at deepening the theoretical recognition of the identifying characteristics of the Aspromonte National Park as an inseparable reality and to the definition of rurality as an important tourist attraction and as endogenous development. Moreover the paper present a summary of a pilot project for the definition, assessment and implementation of a model of Ecomuseum of the Cultural Landscape, through the identification of homogeneous territorial areas in which to conduct experimentation and implementation of management models able to trigger processes of exploitation and growth of the Aspromonte area thanks to an innovative strategic planning focused on the community involvement and heritage enhancement

Community Led Practices and Cultural Planning: Methodological Approaches and Practices for Sustainable Urban Development.

The purpose of this paper is to define a common framework of the Cultural Planning application, in order to provide a range of theoretical and practical tools to combine the conservation of cultural heritage and local development in urban and rural areas, where the management of cultural heritage can have a significant role improving the active participation of the community in the public decision making process. The idea of participation is, at different levels and in different contexts, strongly present in Europe; modern urban design and planning projects are increasingly including local communities in urban development planning activities. In conclusion, the paper argues the possibility of applying the Cultural Planning tool in the field of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria strategic planning

STATISTICHE CULTURALI – IL CENSIMENTO DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURALE NELL’AREA TIRRENICA DELLA PROVINCIA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

The finding study is a dissemination tool of tangible and intangible heritage of a part of Reggio Calabria’s province. The area under examination, which includes the towns of the Tyrrhenian area of the province, except for the chief town, covers an area of 1111.76 Km2, for a total of 43 municipalities; for each of them the study has identified the relevant elements or attractors (environmental, physical and socio-economic resources). The combined analysis of economic, social, cultural and environmental studies, mapped on the territory, has allowed to understand the critical points where the gap is wider between the coastal areas, leaders in tourism, and the inner ones. The promotion of cultural heritage contributes to society well-being, not only as an action of protection, but also as a sustainable answer to the job application and as a regeneration and revitalization strategy of social contexts such as inner areas.  DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.13.0

L’ANALISI SOCIO-ECONOMICA A SUPPORTO DEI PROCESSI DECISIONALI: IL CASO DELL’AREA TIRRENICA DELLA CITTA’ METROPOLITANA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

The paper is part of an applied research study on the Tirreno Reggino for the implementation of a development model based on endogenous resources of the area. In the first step, the principal cultural (tangible and intangible) attractors have been analysed, giving back a framework of those resources considered as key elements to structure the demand for Cultural tourism and a potential new brand: the Cultural Landscape of the Tirreno Reggino. This paper represents the second step of a study, analysing the demographic trends, employment, local production systems and tourism, describing the socio-economic structure, and possible development paths of the case study area. The paper contributes to the implementation of an effective context analysis, as a scientific basis for a systemic local development proposal ina a highly fragile environment.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.14.0
