Natura 2000 Areas and Sites of National Interest (SNI): Measuring (un)Integration between Naturalness Preservation and Environmental Remediation Policies

Abstract: The Natura 2000 network was established as a tool to preserve the biological diversity of the European territory with particular regard to vulnerable habitats and species. According to recent studies, a relevant percentage of Natura 2000 sites are expected to be lost by the end of this century and there is widespread evidence that biodiversity conservation policies are not fully effective in relation to the management plans of the protected areas. This paper addresses the issue by analyzing a specific case in … Show more

“…In the case study analyzed but, more generally, in the whole Basilicata’s regional territory, urban fragmentation is the main dynamics of transformation and, in recent years it has also been caused by other components of the settlement system such as renewable energy plants [ 15 , 27 ] and oil wells [ 16 ]. It is crucial to analyze and model urban transformation dynamics as they have a significant impact on the quality of the landscape, the supply of ecosystem services [ 28 – 30 ] and the costs to the population of transforming the city in an unsustainable way [ 31 , 32 ]. For these and other reasons, analyzing the dynamics of urban transformation is of fundamental importance since they can have a significant impact and cause significant damage to cultural heritage and, because of the dynamics that develop as a result of uncontrolled land transformation (landslide movements) can be a risk to human life [ 33 35 ].…”

“…In the case analyzed but, more generally, in the Basilicata region, fragmentation has also been caused, in recent years, by other components of the settlement system such as renewable energy installations [ 19 , 35 ] and oil wells [ 20 ]. Urban transformations have a significant impact on the quality of the landscape, the ecosystem services provisioning [ 36 – 38 ] and the costs to the population of transforming the city in no sustainable way [ 39 , 40 ]. More generally, the dynamics of urban transformation can have a significant impact and cause considerable damage to cultural heritage, and due to the dynamics that develop following an uncontrolled transformation of the territory (landslide movements) can be a cause of risk to human life [ 41 43 ].…”

“…This is the case, for example, of the phenomena of urban growth already studied by the authors [ 24 26 ] and that highlight the inefficiency of the sprinkling process with which urban settlements continue to grow despite the marked depopulation that characterizes the overwhelming majority of municipalities. However, as highlighted in previous works [ 22 24 ], the ecosystem services approach is particularly effective in interpreting territorial transformations by providing useful tools both in the ex-ante planning phase [ 27 ] and in the assessment of cumulative impacts [ 28 , 29 ]. Although the strength of this approach lies in the possibility of expressing the values of individual territorial components at different scales, the use of aggregate indices of the overall capacity to provide ES is useful in identifying hotspots or, conversely, in defining regeneration priorities for particularly degraded areas.…”
