A Landscape System Analysis

A.1 Landscape layers and their system context

Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology

Rione Terra is located in the Province of Naples (Italy). From a geomorphologic point of view, the region is characterized by a gravel-like depression.The depression floors are composed by broad alluvional plains.As a consequence of the tectonics present in this area, after a period of tectonic calm that allowed a mature erosional land scape to develop across the litho-structural complex (in Early Miocene to Middle Pliocene.)(fig.1,fig.2)

Land use

  • Napoli, being part of Italy, has undergone numerous changes over time. At present, the settlements have remained since ancient times, being numerous medieval monuments, castles, as well as ruins. The underground archaeological Rione Terra is a journey in the ancient Roman colony, Puteoli , founded in 194 BC and soon became a commercial port.

The course is located below the tuff rock overlooking the Gulf of Pozzuoli, between Nisida and Bay, and runs along the principal axes of the Roman city, hinges and decumani.

  • Today, beneath Rione Terra, there lies a virtually untouched Roman towns.

Archaeologists have excavated and restored a four thousand square metre area of the ancient Roman acropolis and its entire underground urban fabric. Now it can be seen the two main arteries of the acropolis flanked by millers’ shops, ancient taverns and the houses of fishermen.

  • From the infrastructure point of view, Napoli owns an airport, train lines across the city, buses. Being a port city, transport can also be done on water.
  • Due to volcanic eruptions, the area became very fertile because of the lava minerals. Agriculture is based on grapes, tomatoes, lemons exotic fruits and native capers.


Green/blue infrastructure

The studied area has a high potential of development regarding green-blue infrastructure due to the dominant presence in the territory of the Gauro Mountain but also for the acces to the Mediteraneean Sea. Gauro Mountain is the volcanic formation with the highest pick it’s a part of the Regional Park situated in the Phlegraean Fields. This area is very important for the ecosystem and it’s also a protected area part of the Natura 2000 Network. The mountain is an identity element for this zone, with flora and fauna specific for this type of territory and charcaterized by thick mediterranean vegetation like chestnut in the north side and plants like cistus, mastic trees and myrtle in the steep west side. Also, in the past, in the neigbhourhood territory of the mountain , was cultivated vines , valuable agriculture areas nowadays.

Actors and stakeholders

  • Who is driving changes in this landscape? Who is affected by those changes?
  • Draw a stakeholder and/or power map: Who is affected highly but with low power? Who has high power but is not affected?

Sacred spaces and heritage

  • Which places/elements hold cultural value and to whom?
  • You may add a map and some images, please also explain in your caption why these elements are valuable

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

  • Which elements are essential for the landscape character?
  • Has the landscape been painted or otherwise depicted, when and whom? Which elements are essential?
  • Which narratives exist? Who has written about this landscape or depicted it in some way?
  • You can add text and images

A.2 Summary of you landscape system analysis and your development Targets

  • You can summarize your findings with an DPSI(R) Model or a Spider Diagram
  • Link back to the Sustainable Development Goals: Which goals are at risk?
  • What is your hypothesis for this landscape?
  • Visualise your hypothesis with one graphic/pict
  • Are there any existing initiatives taking action in this landscape? Do you have a critical perspective on that?
  • Add text and visuals

A.3 Theory reflection

  • Reflect on at least three international policy documents in relation to their local landscape case
  • choose one international, one European and one national document
  • You can choose references from our reading list
  • Scope: 250 words

A.4 References

  • give a full list of the references you have used for this section

1.https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Antonio_Santo2/publication/258513279_Geomorphology_and_neotectonic_evolution_of_a_sector_of_the_Tyrrhenian_flank_of_the_Southern_Apennines_Region_of_Naples_Italy/links/0deec529093c63b31d000000/Geomorphology-and-neotectonic-evolution-of-a-sector-of-the-Tyrrhenian-flank-of-the-Southern-Apennines-Region-of-Naples-Italy.pdf (text+fig.1,fig.2)

Phase B: Landscape Evaluation and Assessment

B.1 Assessment Strategy

  • Based on the hypothesis derived from your previous landscape systems analysis you are now asked to define the goals for assessing the landscape. Your assessment is the basis for evaluating the landscape status.
  • Which elements and phenomena need to be mapped, why and how?
  • This a text contribution, max 250 words

B.2 Mapping

  • As defined by your assessment strategy you conduct the mapping and present your findings here
  • As a minimum, at least three different themes need to be mapped, you may choose more if needed

B.3 Problem definition and priority setting

  • Give a summary of the major findings of your mapping process, what are the problems/potentials identified?
  • Draw a problems/potentials map
  • Set priorities for the most relevant issues

B.4 Theory reflection

  • Please reflect the assessment and evaluation methods used based on at least three readings
  • Did you encounter limitations'
  • 200 words test contribution

B.5 References

  • give a full list of the references you have used for this section

Phase C – Strategy and Master Plan

C.1 Goal Setting

  • Define strategic planning objectives based on the evaluation findings
