Starting from the most recent international debate on the theme of cultural landscape, this study explores the theme of landscape as a ‘common good’ and as a field of investigation and experimentation of an innovative model of long-term sustainable tourism development. In this context, the document illustrates a multi-stakeholder spatial decision-making process based on an evaluation approach that is useful to support decision-makers in defining improvement strategies for resilient landscapes. The methodology was experimented on and tested as part of the ‘Sila Labscape’ project conducted in Sila National Park (Southern Italy), a UNESCO site of excellence. The purpose of the study is to support the park’s community in acquiring a greater awareness of the values and resources present within the park and to stimulate co-design for the enhancement and management of environmental and cultural sites. Starting from the representation of the landscape perceived by users, it is possible to trace the values and meanings of the most attractive places. The most relevant results concern the identification of perceived landscape values, the recognition of shared values, and their consequent use to map ‘places of value’. The elaboration, structuring, and evaluation processes allow the tracing of new touristic routes and the expression of shared intersubjective perception that are useful for supporting decision-makers in the development of potential integrated development strategies and actions.

The purpose of this research is to illustrate, through a case study, a multilevel decision-making process able to support the decision maker in optimizing investment choices for the efficient allocation of public resources, with specific reference to recovery and adaptation to the reuse of unused historical public heritage. During the evaluation process, two methods in particular were combined according to a multiphase design: (i) a multi-criteria analysis to identify the Highest and Best Use among alternative reuse scenarios and (ii) a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis to support verification of the financial feasibility of the investment, in the hypothesis of an enhancement concession in a public–private partnership. Each method was applied in parallel to the evolution of the different design scenarios. The results of the study show that hybrid approaches are a promising line of research in the field of evaluation and urban design, applied to cultural heritage.

This document presents the first results of a study aimed at experimenting an innovative approach to the design and evaluation of complex processes concerning the rehabilitation of the abandoned railway cultural heritage, as an opportunity to promote local development strategies aimed at triggering cultural and economic benefits of minor historic centres and of the “more fragile” territories, by means of the promotion of tourism and the integration of the environmental, cultural, historical but also economic and social resources characteristic of the context into a system. Through a case study, a decision-making process is illustrated which, considering the “network” characteristic of this heritage, develops a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis aimed at classifying the network of disused historic stations, in relation to their potential reuse and a integrated management planning, and establish intervention priorities for a successful implementation of the enhancement strategy.

The study presents an integrated evaluation process for the identification of sustainable enhancement scenarios of the cultural landscape of a particularly significant area of the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria, characterized by multiple material and immaterial values and resources. The combined application of various methods and techniques, allows to manage a decision-making process characterized by different variables and a high level of uncertainty, able to support the definition of shared and transparent choices and outline a transformation process and enhancement according to a bottom-up approach. The application of the methodology to the case study made it possible to take into account the tangible and intangible characteristics of the various multidimensional components of the cultural landscape, and the relative perception of the stakeholder, identifying specific priorities, selecting a system of located micro-actions, materials and intangible, attentive to the specifics of the context, capable of reflecting the evolutions of an interactive and dynamic dialogue between the community, local know-how and experts. Through the combination of complex assessment techniques and stakeholder engagement techniques, it is possible to build enhancement strategies and promote good governance processes, capable of enhancing local deliberative democracy by activating effective collaboration between promoters, operators and users.

The objective of this document is to propose an integrated evaluation model to support the choice of an alternative of an historic industrial archeology building located in Southern Italy, in order to define a strategy shared based on a “bottom-up approach”. The methodological path, in consideration of the needs of the local community and of the historic and cultural values of the historic building, is able to verify the feasibility and economic sustainability of the hypothesis in relation to different management models that involve different forms of public-private partnership. The positive results obtained show that the proposed model can be a useful decision support tool in contexts characterized by high complexity, where the goal is to build shared development strategies.

The European Union identifies the cultural heritage of cities as the main driver of development strategies. From this perspective, adaptive reuse can play a decisive role not only in terms of increasing the life cycle of the heritage but also as an urban strategy capable of generating new economic, cultural, and social values, thus supporting innovative dynamics of local development. The aim is to propose an integrated evaluation model based on the combined use of multi-criteria techniques, which helps to classify adaptive reuse strategies of unused cultural heritage assets and supports decision-makers in the implementation of development strategies in vulnerable contexts. The case study focuses on the potential reuse of some historical fortifications located along the coasts of the Strait of Messina in Southern Italy. The results obtained show that the proposed model can be a useful decision support tool, in contexts characterized by high complexity, able to guarantee the transparency of the decision-making process, and in which it is necessary to highlight the elements that influence the dynamics of the choice for the construction of shared development strategies.

The decision-making process relating to Social Housing (SH) policies and projects involves social and urban transformations and is consequently linked to urban planning, urban regeneration projects, the dynamics of the real estate market and cooperation between public and private developers. Furthermore, this decision-making process must be supported by assessments relating to economic feasibility and assessments on social and environmental sustainability. The paper illustrates a decision support evaluation model for the implementation of integrated urban redevelopment programs related to Social Housing interventions to be implemented in PPP. The model is based on the search for an economic balance between the interests of the parties involved, with the aim of maximizing the share of housing in SH by minimizing the public contribution quota. The model was developed on a degraded settlement of Public Residential Construction, the subject of a wider urban regeneration program in the Municipality of Reggio Calabria (Italy). Considering the financial feasibility constraint for the developer and the conditions of the local real estate market, with the risk of the investment attached to it, the model makes it possible to verify the economic sustainability and the financial feasibility of the interventions in SH through the estimation of: (i) The profit of the developer/investor; (ii) the trade-in value to be paid to the developer against the investment; (iii) the maximum share of SH to be carried out in development. The research and the results obtained highlight the utility of the model and the ease of use in the programming phase, in relation to urban regeneration programs that involve interventions in SH.

In the current scientific debate, cities represent the contexts in which resources, capital, skills, and talents are concentrated and, at the same time, they are places where many challenges are concentrated regarding environmental (pollution, waste, climate change), economic (unemployment, social exclusion, well-being), political (instability in governance processes, lack of strategic planning), and cultural (training, creativity and innovation) dimensions. The city and historic centers in particular, are able to experiment the paradigm shift from a linear economy to a circular economy, in which synergic, fair, and inclusive processes capable of activating new forms of urban productivity and social and economic innovation are promoted. In particular, the European Commission identifies cultural heritage as the main driver of development and supports strategies in which it is considered as one of the founding elements of possible transformations, which can be activated through mixed top-down/bottom-up approaches, in the short and long term. In this perspective, cultural heritage can play a decisive role in terms of the urban strategy capable of generating new economic, cultural, and social values, which trigger innovative dynamics of local development. To address current urban challenges, this paper attempts to use a multi-criteria analysis to decision support, starting with a Multi-Stakeholder Decision Analysis (M-SDA), in order to assist decision makers in choosing suitable scenarios to trigger circular development processes, taking into account the role of cultural heritage in a systemic landscape perspective. The result is a hybrid methodological approach for designing complex urban regeneration processes able to assess which new uses/functions and potential actions, identified by the involved community, can trigger a circular development model which could be more suitable to implement a model of “culture-led” and “community-driven” development.

This article is part of the debate on the economic evaluation of urban regeneration projects to be implemented through partnership forms between public and private subjects. It illustrates the results of the research activity carried out by the authors, aimed at developing innovative tools to verify the economic feasibility and the sustainability of projects for the reuse of unused public buildings. Particularly, the study made it possible to develop an experimental model of economic feasibility project to be used in the. The model aims at verifying if the economic conditions are satisfied, and which ones, if any, are appealing for the private involvement within the realization and/or management of collective utility interventions. Significant points of the model are: (1) The inclusion of real estate re-use projects in the wider context of urban and territorial regeneration; (2) the adoption of criteria to assess costs and revenues remarkably eligible, in the authors’ opinion, to understand the effective economic feasibility and/or sustainability of reuse projects, even under the framework of reliable techniques as the ‘Cash Flow Analysis’ and the ‘Discounted Cash Flow Analysis’.

The research explored the potentialities of an integrated approach to identify the preferable culture-led urban regeneration scenarios for Catanzaro (Italy). Through a process of knowledge of the urban contest it was possible to identify and analyse transformation also through shared values, as constitutive elements of the vision of the place; through these, it was possible to interact and understand the transformations in progress by developing an intervention strategy that can guide and support a process of culture-led regeneration. The Multi-Criteria and multi-group assessment was carried out through the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, which allow to support the design of shared and transparent planning and design choices, according to a bottom-up approach. The decision-making process, in its different phases and results, allows making explicit the components that significantly influence the local transformations and that could guide the interaction between the different involved stakeholders towards a shared common vision.

In the last twenty years the policies of conservation of cultural heritage have become central policies among the European community. This is due to the importance attributed to the use of heritage as cultural capital and as a potential factor for tourism; another reason is represented by the objective of supporting the importance of cultural values for the identity of the territories, for its intrinsic value and as an investment for the cultural, social and economic development. Starting from the application of the Discounted Cash-Flow Analysis, the study support the public decision to locate the best appropriate use (Highest and Best Use) relating to the conservation and reuse of a historic building located in Southern (Italy). Different scenarios are considered and evaluated from the point of view of the public and private convenience considering the Internal Rate of Return and the Net Present Value indicators. The final results are also verified by means of specific sensitivity analyses that allow the validity of the proposed model to be tested.

Transport is the foundation of sustainable economic growth and development. When well balanced, transport greatly facilitates economic and social development, as it allows the free movement of people, goods and services. This paper estimates the potential opportunities for a Public-Private Partnership to deliver efficient transport infrastructure and services for a new transport hub in the city of Villa San Giovanni, which lies in an excellent geographic position and possesses several other strengths. The area is very attractive from an economic point of view because of its privileged position on one of the most scenic natural areas of Italy: the Strait of Messina. Planning would need to be strategic, and Public-private Partnerships are a special feature of governance. Urban transformation projects are very complex and have to be examined from several points of view (socio-cultural, environmental, infrastructural, administrative, and economic-financial) to determine their sustainability, especially in Villa San Giovanni. This paper illustrates a synthetic evaluation method to assess the renewal potential of the railway station in Villa San Giovanni and the spatial and urban regeneration opportunities that would follow. In addition, it aims at building a conceptual framework to support decision makers in selecting the best Public-Private Partnership model for the development of a transport hub. This paper presents a working model of participatory management, based on PPP, which serves the purpose of supporting Public Administrations in managing the urban regeneration processes more efficiently.

In the last twenty years, conservation policies of cultural heritage have become key policies of the European community. This is due to two main factors: the importance attributed to the use of heritage, and the need to support the role of cultural values. More specifically, heritage is seen as cultural capital and as a potential driver for tourism, while cultural values have a crucial role in shaping the identity of territories because of their intrinsic value and their value as an investment for the cultural, social and economic development. Choosing among different alternative scenarios of reuse, valorisation and conservation of unused cultural heritage is generally a complex decision-making process, given the multidimensional nature of the scenarios and the wide set of values they represent. These decisions are not always consensual, also because the political choice on the potential use of the asset concerns the maintenance of its physical integrity, of its intangible values and of the economic development that can be achieved from its new functions. In this context, the paper proposes the use of Social Multi-criteria Evaluation (SMCE), a multi-dimensional approach applied to a real case study that can support the choice of possible reuse scenarios.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of an integrated multi-dimensional and multi-level approach that supports decision-makers in planning, designing and managing complex urban regeneration plans. The mixed methodological approach and the combined effect of various assessment tools provide rational arguments for using scarce public resources to determine intervention priorities and the most effective alternatives among different options. The definition of shared objectives and development scenarios can reduce problems and guarantee economic development over time. The integrated model applied to five areas of strategic value for urban regeneration of the metropolitan area of Reggio Calabria (Southern Italy) highlights the potential of this model. The methodological framework combines different tools: Stakeholder Analysis and Cognitive Maps to identify interests, objectives and values; and a Multi-Criteria Analysis to define the most effective and shared alternatives in order to determine the order of priority of public intervention.

This study explores the potential of the multiple values and considerable resources that characterize a territory related to the Tyrrhenian cultural landscape in Southern Italy. The approach presented here is an experimentation that employs evaluative experiences tested in similar contexts. The aim of this study is to outline incremental and adaptive decision-making processes that focus on the identification of values and needs and are supported by a bottom-up decision-making process. Evaluation is defined as a multidimensional, dynamic, incremental and cyclical learning process, in which integrated assessment techniques are combined with public participation techniques in order to outline shared and transparent intervention scenarios.

The paper shows the setting up of an integrated evaluation process to identify a sustainable enhancement strategy for a particularly significant territory in southern Italy that expresses the concept of Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) proposed by the UNESCO. The evaluation process is flexible to adapt to the specificity of complex contexts, to enable interaction with heterogeneous knowledge and to capture local values associated with the particular dimensions of a multi-scalar system. The evaluation is defined as a multidimensional, dynamic, incremental and cyclical learning process, which combines evaluation techniques integrated with public-participation techniques in order to delineate shared and transparent intervention strategies. Through a shared observation process of the context have been identified the values and resources, the key stakeholder categories and their preferences. Selecting context-aware actions enables us to reduce the conflicts by transforming them into synergies, recognizing as essential the components of a constantly evolving, multidimensional and complex landscape in which various systems of values and relationships interact. A ‘tailor-made’ multi-methodological approach that is enables the combination of the approaches of the Soft-System Methodology, Multi-Criteria Analysis and Multi-Group Analysis with the purpose of identifying the components of the perceived scenario and developing a strategic map able to put in network a system of micro actions, material and immaterial, sensitive to context specificities.

This paper focuses on an integrated multi-methodological evaluation process; it aimed at supporting public administrators in developing alternative strategies for intervention in urban planning and urban regeneration processes that focus on abandoned urban areas located in a central position. In order to transform crisis areas into areas with new opportunities, starting with their redevelopment and enhancement, the article proposes a selection of evaluation tools that can support and steer the decision maker’s choice of alternative scenarios for intervention. For this purpose, the contribution develops an integrated system of evaluation methodologies for decision-making support, which includes different components and a plurality of points of view, even of conflicting types, providing a more transparent description of the decision-making process. The methodological approach was applied to a pilot case study that concerned the choice of priority intervention between two abandoned and blighted areas located in the central area of the city of Reggio Calabria.

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.

The urban policies and territorial live a period of profound transformation, characterized by a shift to new approaches and governance tools. Public intervention implemented through programs active an application for assessment: beyond the explicit applications contained in the various intervention tools, the decision-making sphere, facing the loss of representativeness of organized politics and the growing complexity of the variables that influence the public choices has the absolute necessity of auxiliary tools that allow you to optimize the use of available resources and at the same time make the decision-making path shareable and transparent. Fewer resources always available, the importance of the time during transformation processes, the rational legitimacy of choices - pose a number of difficult problems to solve that lead to the need to experiment with new tools to support decision makers, from the early stage of planning or in the pre-design phase (Saaty, 1990; 2008).In this valuation context of compatible functional solutions, the Multiple-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodologies (Roy & Bouyssou, 1993), and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in particular, play a significant role as they allow to be taken into account all the intrinsic values of the assets in question, both economic and extra-economic. The use of these methods can provide choices that are not always based on the best cost-benefit ratio (Nesticò, Macchiaroli, & Pipolo, 2015). As well as guaranteeing the presence and the clarification of different values, the formalisation of an evaluation process carried out in these terms, expression of the community needs, also allows the control and the correspondence between general and specific choices. Since the asset is of particular value, it is, however, necessary that the various criteria and weights taken on the basis of the evaluation are shared by the community or rather, by direct users and by potential or future users.
