Knowledge and Enhancement of Historical Centres and
Cultural Landscapes in the Alpine Space
The project is addressed to the historical settlements system of the Alpine area, which constitute
a heritage of importance for both, the local cultures and for the European identity.
Aim
Today, living in mountain territories is not easier than in the
past and the historical settlement system is the mirror of the
adaptation of the local communities, that by choice or necessity
have lived in these territories during their lives, always
trying to better life quality despite the difficulties offered by
these areas.
The Alpine area is worldwide known for its natural characteristics,
but less for its cultural heritage, which however deserves
the same attention. This is the starting point for the project
CulturALP; the aim is to promote the importance and the enhancement
of the mountain historical settlements.
Activities
Realisation of a territorial informative system (GIS)
System prototype for the Decision Support system (Heri
DSS) addressed to the historical Alpine centres
Definition of common indicators and SWOT analysis for the
promotion of integrated policies and enhancement of the Alpine
historical settlements
Working out of integrated operational tools for the intervention
of the Alpine historical settlements at the different levels
of competence
Best practices starting up of the pilot areas
Project web site
Involvement of local actors and authorities
Implementations and impacts on pilot territories of the methodologies
and studies carry out during the project
Impacts on methodologies in best practices’ territories
Outcomes and results
The Translational Project Board will continue its activities allowing
the promotion of regional and local policies in which the
project results are included.
An Observatory on Cultural Heritage Policies will be promoted
by Regione Lombardia to improve exchange of data and best
practices.
Best practices exchange will continue after the end of the
project through the activation of the partnership between local
authorities.
23 pilot projects stared up by the whole partnership
A survey made in reference to the existing laws at different
administrative and territorial levels regarding protection, enhancement
and management of built cultural heritage from a
territorial point of view. With the main goals:
To distinguish the variety and diversity of definitions and approaches
of intervention on territory and built environment
uses;
To recognise the framework of governance levels related to
protection, enhancement and management of cultural heritage.
Partners have been asked to fill a card for each law or
regulation document regarding cultural heritage.
GIS tool: promotion of the application of the operational tools
realised during the project, impacting in the real situations
and strengthen the collaboration among partners, by involving
local authorities and private actors by coordinating these
interventions with other Programmes.
Five booklets have been published and distributed (booklet
1: Survey on Alpine heritage; booklet 2: Cultural heritage
decision support system; booklet 3: Indicators and SWOT
analysis; booklet 4: Operational Tools, booklet 5: Pilot project
starting up). In addition, the project issued one multilanguage
Glossary.
