Strategie di rigenerazione dell’area interna del Vallo di Diano: il caso studio di S. Arsenio

Inner Areas represent the large part of the Italian territory, including minor centers often characterized by limited accessibility of basic public facilities and services, depopulation and abandonment phonema. These areas could mean an important value for the society according to their relevant natural and cultural resources, such as parks, protected zones, local traditions and architectures that must be preserved. This paper aims to point out a possible approach to restore and enhance minor historical centers, with particular regard to the Vallo di Diano area, through social inclusion. An overview of the related European, national and local strategies will be analysed and relevant examples of social inclusion pilot cases will be presented. According to these studies, a survey has been held in order to identify a regeneration strategy for S. Arsenio and similar small towns, which are located in the Vallo di Diano area.
