Abstract
The South of Italy has been experiencing adverse dynamics for some time, which have exposed it more easily to the socio-economic turbulence that grips many parts of the planet. Even the most recent data (Svimez, 2022; Istat; 2022; Eurostat; 2021) reveal processes of further marginalization and growing vulnerability: Employment decreases and job insecurity increases, incomes decrease, absolute poverty grows, and social capital is impoverished (BES, 2022). The consequent underutilization of human resources and acquired skills quickly leads to a loss of human and territorial development potential, already highlighted by U-Haq and Sen (1998; 1999) with the principle of “in-human” development. The erosion and extraction of value lead to the consequent process of human resources vulnerability and their loss of basic capacity, as well as the increasing marginalization process of the territory (Vaughan, R.P., Walker, M., 2012). Conversely, co-creating networks capable of enhancing tangible and intangible heritage as a system of combined capabilities (Nussbaum, 2000) is a regenerative and development perspective for new economies (AICON, 2020; Zamagni, 2019).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
