EVOLUTION AND MANAGMENT
OF ANTHROPIZATED LANDSCAPES
The differences, which exist between the various geographic areas and the
phenomena that have contributed to increasing these differences, determine specific economic
realities, as can be seen in the prevalently pastoral economy of central-eastern Sardinia.
It is known that exploitation of the potential of an area requires penetration among
the various economic sectors. The economic realities studied present growing productive
zones which are in contrast with marginal areas that are often poorly linked and integrated
with the other parts of the island territory, where there is a relative sense of well-being.
The areas of growth include those zones where tourism has recently been
developed. Tourism and the tertiary activities linked to it have shown, above all in the
1990s, greater rates of expansion compared to less dynamic traditional sectors and the
agricultural sector which has been generally in decline.
Nevertheless, the resident population has grown very slowly due to a natural
increase offset by a negative migratory balance; there are also municipalities
characterized by a decrease in population and low demographic density. These towns are
located in the interior where there are few industries and a prevalence of largely
traditional agricultural and sylvicultural activities which overall are not in tune with the
changes and modern needs of the market.
The scarce dynamism of the local productive system, the conditions of structures
and infrastructures, and the need to add maximum value to the potentialities present in the
territory are top priorities requiring urgent attention. At the same time there is the need to
provide new impulses to programs for training and updating so as to ensure sufficient
levels of professionalism in the local workforce able to respond to the management needs of
a rapidly evolving market.
In addition to the research of the evolution and management of anthropic
landscapes, it is necessary to also consider, along with the structural, social and economic
conditions of the area under study, the policies, actions and interventions which will affect
them in the future. These aspects will be the object of analysis and orientation of the study
as planned by the project.
