An integrated strategic-performative planning methodology towards enhancing the sustainable decisional regeneration of fragile territories

Abstract The paper outlines in depth an integrated strategic and performance-based planning approach based on the multi-scalar dimensions of different decision-making levels; action programs; governance and social involvement, applied to a fragile territory. The methodological framework proposed is based on different methodological evaluation tools in order to support an adaptive and inclusive decisional process. The aim of this study is to highlight how a flexible, dynamic, adaptive, context-aware and site-specific decision support system can contribute to the definition of alternative scenarios and lead public authorities to opt for the most performing one in terms of environmental, social and economic sustainability. The tool implemented was tested for the case study of the regeneration of a naturalist site on the island of Pantelleria in the south of Italy.
