LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURALE NEL PAESAGGIO CALABRESE: EREDITA' ED INNOVAZIONE

The social and ethic involvement of society in the enhancement of cultural and natural resources is essential to fight the deterioration and abandonment of the landscape. The territorial cooperation programmes like INTERREG develop by years a territorial, economic and social cohesion among european countries through performative tool like ecomuseum, able to relate resources, landscape and local identity. The present study proposes an ecomuseum for the Grecanic Area of Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria (IT), starting from an analytic phase to define a set of objectives and strategies, and a survey phase investigating on the perceptions of local community and tourists toward grecanic culture and landscape's values following the logic of Cultural mapping. The data collected are transferred in project phase: the Grecanic Ecomuseum.
