Rischio idrogeologico, industriale e antropizzazione: studio di un modello per la creazione di un ‘sistema di salvaguardia integrata’ per il patrimonio culturale e paesaggistico applicabile al contesto della laguna di Santa Gilla

The research focuses on analysing, discussing and understanding the issues of cultural sustainability, current regulations and the broad topic of community participation in the protection of cultural heritage in the context of Southern European Archaeology (Italy and Spain), in order to put forward an alternative methodological proposal for the care and valorisation of cultural and environmental heritage that takes into account the social, environmental and economic sustainability of the territories involved. Following an initial part of the work dedicated to the aforementioned founding themes - with the presentation of some case studies and unpublished research - the investigation focuses on the case study of the Santa Gilla lagoon and the municipal territories in its surroundings. A first step is the realisation of hydrogeological, industrial and anthropic risk assessment sheets, studied and developed for a wide selection of ‘identity assets’ in the area around the lagoon. The second step focuses, instead, on the analysis of potential stakeholders and the importance of participatory processes in the construction of a common, shared and integrated action model, based on the ‘Contratti Fiume’ system, for the protection of the cultural landscape of the Santa Gilla lagoon. The final objective is to offer useful elements for the development of a replicable model of safeguarding that can, in a perspective of ‘shared responsibility’, stimulate participation in tackling, through a participatory reference framework, any critical conditions connected to natural and anthropic events and secure and monitor the local cultural landscape in contexts similar to that of the Santa Gilla lagoon.
