Abstract
The implementation of the landscape democracy vision and the attempts to innovate planning strategies and practices in Sardinia has been emphasized during the last five years of conflicts and inconsistent approaches to landscape policies. The Regional Government’s planning strategy marked a new phase in Italian coastal conservation and more generally on landscape as a development asset. An innovative Regional Land Use Plan has been designed, the first one in the Italian history focusing on the Regional scale. The Plan and the regulation banning any new buildings located within 2000 m from the shoreline has been reaching national and international visibility as one of the emerging best practices in planning as a tool for sustainability implementation. On the other hand the destabilization of the status quo on the dominant growth strategies in coastline territories created the conditions for a general debate on Sardinia’s development key choices. Local decision makers, particularly coastal municipalities, perceived the Plan as a partial loss of their capability to decide on their territories. At the same time the Plan at the regional level has opened an interesting debate on landscape, land use and democratic participation in territorial policies. The Plan delineates landscapes as dynamic and evolutionary processes at multiple scales and territories as the result of material, social and symbolic practices. The integration of this innovative approach with the traditional regulatory tools tailored on locally determined and self referential objectives would have needed an extraordinary effort in terms of communication, training and motivation of public functionaries involved at any level. The inefficacy in designing and communicating this shared innovation strategy resulted in a contradictory coexistence of aims and implementation. The neglected political dimension of the innovation process resulted in a conflicting relationship between reformist action, local development practices and the building of a shared landscape vision.
