Abstract

In the panorama of knowledge of the Ecosystem Services (ES) and their applications on the territory, it is interesting the case study aimed at identifying the ES in an area with a high degree of naturalness such as the Maiella National Park (MNP).

In collaboration with the MNP, the key objective of this research is to investigate the contribution that the reuse of some abandoned areas can determine in terms of ES. In this way, attention can be paid to the balance between ES and the need to reactivate forms of sustainable local economies that can, through specific projects such as the “Banca della Terra d’Abruzzo” (Regional Law No. 26/2015), actively contribute to green deal policies.

The purpose shared with the MNP is to implement the production of scenarios regarding land use change and then to quantify the advantages or disadvantages in terms of variation of ES. In this way, it will be possible to determine which solution is most suitable for the areas under investigation and provide the institutions with the necessary tools to enhance the territory. At the same time, provide guidance on sustainable land management measures that adhere highly to the strategies and objectives of the 2030 Agenda.

This study represents the main result of a collaboration between the University of L’Aquila and the MNP for the creation of a unified database able to inform potential stakeholders about the actual condition of uncultivated/abandoned public and private units, contextually deepening some important ecosystem services.
