“…Such information, through Atlas project, will be valued to provide expressive interpretative tools allowing to identify relationship between settlements system and main territorial planning issues in Basilicata region. Among actual emerging arguments: management of natural risks, protection/enhancement of natural and ecosystem resources [ 20 ], management of productive industrial sites and remediation policies of decommissioned industrial sites.…”

Social, demographic and economics transformations occurred in Basilicata Region (Italy) since 1950’s, have been developed transformations not always linked to effective and sustainable urban planning tools. A general research gap regards the tools for assessing such effectiveness of planning. In this work we describe the preliminary design of a thematic Atlas presenting Basilicata Region results achieved in previous researches concerning urban growth and consequently land use changes. On the bases of a territorial information system developed by LISUT research group we analyzed urban growth since 1950 comparing it with recent phenomena of RES (renewable energy sources) plants settlement occurred since 2000. Such spatial information, evaluated through fragmentation indexes, are compared with socio-economic data at municipal scale. The results are a comprehensive picture of local settlement development trends that allows to communicate evidences of current planning system including urban planning tools, sectorial planning (operating at regional scale), public investments program evidences. The Atlas will be published for Basilicata Region area (Italy) as a model in order to analyze and compare other European Regions.

“…Consistency of CLUPs and MPs entails overcoming the conflicts generated by different and sometimes conflicting objectives, which are mirrored by the planned land uses and spatial policies. These are the conflicts between the conservation of supporting ecosystems (habitats and species) and the increase in the supply of tourism-related ESs concerning the increase in the attractiveness of the coastal areas for tourists and local visitors, which is the main reason for the definition and the approval of CLUPs [22].…”

In 2008, the Council of the European Union adopted the “Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management” (ICZM Protocol), then ratified by Decision No. 2010/631/EU. The ICZM Protocol defines integrated coastal zone management as a dynamic and flexible process that accounts for the relations between coastal ecosystems and landscape as well as the activities and the uses that characterize coastal areas. Integrated management of coastal zones is still a critical process in terms of translating theory into practice. In this theoretical framework, strategic environmental assessment (SEA) helps to improve decision-making processes related to coastal spatial planning by integrating development goals and sustainability criteria. This study proposes a methodological approach concerning ICZM-based decision-making processes at the local level. The methodology is implemented in relation to three case studies concerning three towns located in southwest Sardinia. The results show a general consistency between the analyzed plans in terms of objectives and themes. Three specific issues are particularly relevant in terms of integration of economic and social objectives and sustainability goals, that is, relations between beach services and coastal ecosystems, protection of coastal ecosystems, and accessibility to the coastal zones.

“…In the literature, the question of reports on the impact on Natura 2000 sites has not been discussed thoroughly enough (Engel, 2009;Rak, 2014;Gicala & Sobotka 2017;Lai & Zoppi, 2017) even though it is a key issue in attempts to accelerate the preparation stage of an investment with respect to environmental requirements because a well-elaborated report will eliminate the need to request its amending. This article contains an analysis of such reports in respect of their content as demanded by the Acts of 8 November 2008 and 9 February 2016 on providing information about the environment and its protection and by the practice of drawing reports.…”

The paper presents the results of several analyses of reports on the impact of SFRs on Natura 2000 sites. The reports enumerated are documents which are the basis for the assessment of an undertaking (building project) on valuable natural areas. Legal regulations determine fairly precisely the scope of a report on the impact of an undertaking on the environment, although they are imprecise in regards to how the impact on Natura 2000 sites should be evaluated. The reports are prepared at the request of investors, who are not interested in demonstrating a significant impact of construction works and planned building structures on the condition that the protected features and the integrity of Natura 2000 sites. An incomplete report may foster neglect of environmental threats and be contradictory to the basic aim of the assessment, which it to exclude a possible occurrence of a significant impact of a building on the Natura 2000 network. The present paper shows analyses of reports in the context of the content required by the Act of 23 November 2008 on the release of information about environment and its protection, participation of the public in the environment, and protection and assessments of the environmental impact. The analysis presented in this article has shown that the reports did not have the characteristics of an expert environmental examination, wich is commonplace with respect reports on the environmental impact required in a classical impact assessment. Some reports were incomplete, and the predicted impact on Natura 2000 sites was not based on actual data.
