Strumenti e strategie per la tutela integrata della fascia costiera

The coastal strip, characterized by environmental, economic and social values, has been subjected to several transformations over time due to natural and human pressures. In order to deal with these pressures and transformations, several regulatory requirements have been established, entailing problems of overlapping and fragmentation between planning tools and rules that make their implementation difficult to achieve. This study analyzes and discusses the role and the complexity of planning and integrated management of coastal areas characterized by the overlap of different regulatory instruments in relation to the case study of the Sardinia Region. In particular, we propose a methodological approach to define an integrated planning and management model, where marine and terrestrial components are conceived as a single entity. The aim is to overcome the planning and management sectorialization through the definition of a unique instrument that takes into account actions and objectives derived from the present complex regulatory framework. The proposed methodology is conceived as an innovative and experimental activity to define the development of an inclusive and incremental planning process, exportable to other different contexts.
