Abstract (in English)

The swift transformation processes call for considering contexts as complex dynamic systems consisting of tangible and intangible endogenous elements linking the territorial history and the history of the people living there. In the light of what expressed in The European landscape Convention, a setting cannot be reductively considered as a stage wing playing only an aesthetic role, but it acquires the “landscape” value with its peculiarities deriving from the several values it expresses. In order to define the actions to undertake so as to achieve the socio-economic-cultural development and the improvement of the different users quality of life, and being consistent at the same time with the context peculiarities, we suggest a division into territorial categories. These last ones, which could be investigated in the light of the action of natural or anthropic factors, can be analysed in order to consider the impacts that a transformation can have in relation to some perceptive categories. The analysis in which the different types of relation are clearly lead out produces an ex-ante assessment of the possible perceptive impact of the interventions, which can help to define the targets and actions as well as the guiding rules for an active landscape protection.
