Abstract

The protection of Mountain environmental uniqueness as well as the enhancement of its landscape heritage – which is the result of a long history of anthropization – is a complex process interlacing many of the current challenges related to sustainability issues, and searching for new social and economic environmental balances. From such a premise, the experimentation of an interdisciplinary research method has been carried on. The research has closely linked the historical investigation to theories, methods, tools analyses with particular reference to the recovery of the rural alpine heritage, together with the study of landscape systems, using qualitative and quantitative spatial and non-spatial data, managed by GIS tools. The research and didactic experience focuses on the Stura of Demonte Valley in South Western Piedmont, and proposes design ideas for new sustainable scenarios.

 

Riabitare le Alpi

La montagna: la tutela della sua unicità ambientale, la valorizzazione di un patrimonio paesaggistico frutto di una lunga storia di antropizzazione, è un processo complesso, che interseca molte delle attuali sfide legate ai temi della sostenibilità, alla ricerca di nuovi equilibri ambientali sociali ed economici. Da questa premessa nasce la sperimentazione di una modalità di ricerca interdisciplinare che vede l’indagine storica strettamente legata all’analisi di teorie, metodi, strumenti con particolare riferimento al recupero del patrimonio rurale alpino, uniti allo studio, con i dati qualitativi e quantitativi, dei sistemi di analisi territoriale gestiti tramite strumenti GIS. Il percorso di ricerca e didattica, concentrato nella Valle Stura di Demonte nel Piemonte Sud Occidentale, mette in campo spunti progettuali per nuovi scenari sostenibili.
