Abstract
The territory of Pompeii, not limiting it to just the enclosure of the archaeological excavations, constitutes a fragile context that has many critical elements, but also an enormous potential that needs to be highlighted and valorised. It is a site of enormous tourist and cultural value but burdened with serious problems arising from the current mode of tourist use, which in the absence of sustainable planning damages the heritage and local identity, without bringing wealth and well being to the population. It is now necessary to analyse this vast and heterogeneous territory in order to promote its development through the protection and valorisation of the natural and cultural resources present, with the redevelopment of the built heritage and the existing infrastructures, in order to combine the improvement of quality environment with economic growth resulting from the development of tourism, production and cultural activities. This territory, characterized by a series of fruition and environmental criticalities, is well suited to a reticular approach in which each element of the system contributes to the improvement of the urban quality, along with the valorisation of the existing heritage. The idea developed focuses on the elaboration of a network model that connects important points of a given urban context; provides an integrated system of connection and parking/sharing spaces, maximizing accessibility and soft mobility; increases the environmental ecological quality by interfacing with the territorial ecological network. The reticular approach also represents the basic strategy for the construction of the ecological network that is used as a tool to redevelop a fragile territory, which is the object of study, in order to improve its environmental quality. The conditions necessary to create an ecological network pass through the improvement of the ecosystem quality of the areas with greater naturalness and the restoration of biological connectivity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
