Il potenziale archeologico come risorsa di sviluppo: per un Sistema Informativo Integrato del territorio beneventano
Abstract
The Integrated Information System of the Benevento area is an innovative tool for the management,
monitoring and interoperability of different types of data, aimed at reconstruction of the cultural,
urban and rural resources of the Benevento area.
The implementation of the system responds to the needs of historical-archaeological scientific
research, protection, and therefore urban and territorial planning.
The research began with the analysis of the Benevento area and set as fundamental objectives the
definition of historical, cultural and environmental processes, as well as the understanding of the
settlement and population dynamics of the selected area. This one, representative both from the
point of view of historical-archaeological problems and of the formative processes of the entire
territorial compart, includes the northern portion of the Middle Valley of the Calore River, which is
configured as a privileged laboratory of analysis for the return of a precise identity historicalcultural,
based on the integrated components of the archaeological and monumental heritage. The
development of the system, based on the integration of the various components, has allowed the
preparation of an archaeological map, associated with different themes, which is able to propose
dynamic models related to the potential / risk of the Cultural Heritage, therefore, to give support and
incentives for development policies.
The implementation of the web-GIS called SISa (Sannio Information System), creates a common
area for the exchange of historical-humanistic and scientific-technological knowledge on the
systems of management of Cultural Heritage at European level, according to the elaboration of
scientific, tourist and production models in a broad sense, intended to give impetus to processes of
growth and integrated development of internal territories, often on the margins of large tourist
itineraries and undersized in relation to local economic and cultural sustainability models. [edited by Author]
