Abstract
This study is the result of an interdisciplinary cooperation among specialists, scholars and different skills aimed at the requalification/regeneration of the archaeological park of Kaukana in Santa Croce Camerina (RG). It is a wide area along Mediterranean which becomes the driving for economic and functional growth of territory, along with landscape valorisation and environmental restoration. This area is one of the best Sicilian well preserved late antique period settlement. Over there archaeology and nature merge in a cultural landscape which is unique in its genre and that has been studied by means of innovative cognitive tools (3d laser scanning, photomodeling, and so on) which constitutes the first step towards a conscious territory government. By acting without big distortions; by supporting the vocation to transformation through actions aimed at the restoration of the past; by qualifying spaces and reinventing green fruition actractive paths; then the archaeological area becomes a resource, regenerated and inserted into touristic distrects, which produces work and both material and immaterial richness. It represents a regenerative model founded on virtuous values of nature and biological models, which are able to carry out a development “founded on the reduction of the waste of raw materials, human resources, assets”. That is a conscious intervention which through the survey, the re-drawing and the analysis of existent places generates less wastes/more life improvement, less environmental impact/ more essentialityI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
