Eco Power Parks. Energy Development of Regional Parks

Abstract

The research is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach and focuses on the territorial consolidation and development of environmentally sensitive areas, like regional parks. Parks are places where ecosystem elements are preserved and improved, but also vast ranges characterized by various human activities and interaction levels. Within this context, the disciplinary contribution focuses on energy infrastructure – with the aim of identifying the features of the Micro Local Network – as a potential tool for the development and reconstruction of marginal settlements. The study investigates interactions of pieces of territory, vocations and energy sustainability of the context, providing classes, systems and technological components typical of the Micro Local Network. The results propose a pre-arranged, expandable and changeable model, as decisional support instrument for carrying out an energy sustainable infrastructure consistent with the environmental characteristics of the context, and compatible with landscape protection goals.
