La pianificazione paesaggistica in Piemonte. Approfondimenti

Abstract

This paper represents a systematic deep examination about the situation of landscape planning in Piedmont. This research is structured on the analysis and interpretation of legislative and planning instruments, by two fundamental approaches. On the one hand, there are the modalities by which landscape enters the regional legislation. On the other hand the research focuses on regional landscape planning instruments, like the Regional Territorial Plan (1997) and the new Regional Landscape Plan (2009), suggesting a comparison between cognitive, strategic and regulative dimensions. Finally, we find an in-depth examination about the question concerning landscape authorization, the sub-delegation to local authorities and main issues on implementation of regional strategies, public participation, the role on local identities and the methodology of identification of landscapes.
