STATISTICHE CULTURALI – IL CENSIMENTO DEL PATRIMONIO CULTURALE NELL’AREA TIRRENICA DELLA PROVINCIA DI REGGIO CALABRIA

Abstract

The finding study is a dissemination tool of tangible and intangible heritage of a part of Reggio Calabria’s province. The area under examination, which includes the towns of the Tyrrhenian area of the province, except for the chief town, covers an area of 1111.76 Km2, for a total of 43 municipalities; for each of them the study has identified the relevant elements or attractors (environmental, physical and socio-economic resources). The combined analysis of economic, social, cultural and environmental studies, mapped on the territory, has allowed to understand the critical points where the gap is wider between the coastal areas, leaders in tourism, and the inner ones. The promotion of cultural heritage contributes to society well-being, not only as an action of protection, but also as a sustainable answer to the job application and as a regeneration and revitalization strategy of social contexts such as inner areas.
