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)

Fig.2:The geological and geomorphological records left in the area by lower and middle pleistocenic events.
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.

Fig.5 Infrastructure
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 Mediterranean 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?
