Development of policies for Natura 2000 sites: a multi-criteria approch to support decision makers
No full textThe aim of this study is to present a methodology to support decision makers in the choice of Natura 2000 sites needing an appropriate management plan to ensure a sustainable socio-economic development. In order to promote sustainable development in the Natura 2000 sites compatible with nature
preservation, conservation measures or management plans are necessary. The main issue is to decide when only conservation measures can be applied and when the sites need an appropriate management plan. We present a case study for the Italian Region of Umbria. The methodology is based on a multicriteria approach to identify the biodiversity index (BI), and on the development of a human activities
index (HAI). By crossing the two indexes for each site on a Cartesian plane, four groups of sites were identified. Each group corresponds to a specific need for an appropriate management plan. Sites in the first group with a high level both of biodiversity and human activities have the most urgent need of an appropriate management plan to ensure sustainable development. The proposed methodology and
analysis is replicable in other regions or countries by using the data available for each site in the Natura 2000 standard data form. A multi-criteria analysis is especially suitable for supporting decision makers when they deal with a
multidimensional decision process. We found the multi-criteria approach particularly sound in this case,
due to the concept of biodiversity itself, which is complex and multidimensional, and to the high number
of alternatives (Natura 2000 sites) to be assesse
Measuring sustainable development using a multi-criteria model: A case study
No full textThis paper shows how Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) can help in a complex process such as the assessment of the level of sustainability of a certain area. The paper presents the results of a study in which a model for measuring sustainability was implemented to better aid public policy decisions regarding sustainability. In order to assess sustainability in specific areas, a methodological approach based on multi-criteria analysis has been developed. The aim is to rank areas in order to understand the specific technical and /or financial support that they need to develop sustainable growth.
The case study presented is an assessment of the level of sustainability in different areas of an Italian Region using the MCDA approach. Our results show that MCDA is a proper approach for sustainability assessment. The results are easy to understand and the evaluation path is clear and transparent. This is what decision-makers need for having support to their decisions. The multicriteria model for evaluation has been developed respecting the sustainable development economic theory, so that final results can have a clear meaning in terms of sustainability

Il valore economico della biodiversità di interesse agrario in Umbria. Il caso delle varietà soggette ad erosione genetica
No full textLa valutazione economica della biodiversità, e conseguentemente dell’agrobiodiversità, è
stata sollecitata negli anni da numerosi documenti politici a partire dalla Convenzione Internazionale
sulla diversità biologica.
La valutazione economica delle varietà tradizionali assume importanza perché
può essere di supporto al decisore pubblico sotto molteplici aspetti.
Il presente studio ha l’obiettivo di definire i valori monetari per alcune varietà locali umbre
