Abstract

This paper proposes a methodological appraisal developed in order to face the recurring conflict between environment and economic development assessed in a specific implementation context: the Val d’Agri in Basilicata (Italy), where protection and exploitation requests include the safeguard of particular traditions and culture of communities located in inland areas of the Apennines, as well as environmental resources (natural, agricultural, historical and artistic resources). In this view, we selected strategies in order to promote innovation required by the self-centred part of the development and we referred to a right of rationality of choices, based on: equity, efficiency and conservation of resources; accountability instruments and uncertainty sharing means to which connect the integrated cycle of assessment/governance. The Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) was proposed for this purpose and, through the derived call, applicants will have to work on the basis of a set of procedures oriented to the construction of ended and integrated supply chains.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Among the authors, besides the best known McLoughlin [2] and Ghadwick [3], we find a very interesting reconstruction of Wegener [4], proposing a survay 10 years later Lee’s article [5].

  2. 2.

    Cfr. the conspicuous production of Roy Benard’s group with reference to what was produced in the field of understanding and modeling of decision processes. Among others, see Roy [9]; Ostanello and Tsukias [10]; Las Casas [11].

  3. 3.

    Lack of facilities or organizations, but also of efficiency, equity and respect of non-renewable resources.
