No full textTerritorial vulnerability and local conflicts perspectives for waste disposals siting. A case study in Lombardy region (Italy)
No full textThe interactions between economic activities and environmental quality is a field of research deeply
explored since the second half of last century due to a growing public awareness about negative impacts
of human actions on landscape. As shown by the large number of local communities' oppositions to the
development of waste disposals, energy technologies and transport infrastructures, the loss in ecological
value of environmental resources and the resulting decrease of human wellbeing are the most relevant
concerns of opponents.
Within this context, the paper explores the existence of a relationship among territorial vulnerability
and local controversies emerged around the localization of new facilities, in order to provide decisionmakers
with an analytical tool for siting controversial facilities. The research has been developed according
to four different phases: 1) the assessment of territorial vulnerability and the development of a
Vulnerability Index (VI); 2) the introduction of supervised Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the aim
of weighting the VI criteria; 3) the analysis of intensity and spatial distribution of local oppositions and
the development of the Local Conflict Index (LCI); 4) the investigation of oppositions against waste
disposals. The analysis has been carried on the Lombardy region (Italy) since it shows the highest
number of oppositions in the country.
The results show that the synthetic territorial vulnerability assessment combined with the analysis of
local conflicts could effectively be used for improving decisions about new facilities siting. The oppositions
against waste disposals are relevant but mostly not directly linked to the territorial vulnerability
