The Evaluation, Integration and Use of Agricultural Areas Within Suburban Parks. Definition of Project-based Method in typical Mediterranean Area

The aim of this work is to propose a method for the definition of guidelines for a rational and functional integration of the agricultural areas within environmental requalification projects (suburban, metropolitan and agricultural parks). With reference to a typically Mediterranean environment, the functional and technological compatibility of the two environmental systems proposed (Functional Agricultural Area –Educational and Leisure Activity Area) are examined. Subsequently reference project indicators are defined for homogeneous agricultural areas (Environmental Units). The function of these is to indicate compatible uses with the relative technological adaptations to be made so that leisure and cultural activities can be introduced into such areas without compromising the agriculture.
