Periurban Coastal Landscape: a method to identify and map Resource-Scapes
The mapping of contemporary urban systems, if based on a Circular Urban Metab- olism approach, and on life cycles of territories, can help to track down the presence of potential indicators of regenerative resources (both materials and intangibles). This paper1 presents an “How-to” tool for urbanists and policy makers, to map the territory based on the presence of waste, and guide the identification of certain territories, name- ly Resource-Scapes, in which the intervention can trigger wider regenerative processes. The case study is the EcoRegen research, funded by the University of Naples Federico II (2020-22), with a specific focus on Resource-Scapes of the coastline, and the transversal transects land-sea of the metropolitan area of Naples. The presented data have been collected through research and didactic activities, cataloguing spaces in a GIS-based database. This work aims to reach a wide audience. On the one hand, this mapping method contributes to the recognition of wastescapes as local resource-scapes, as an opportunity for public authorities (at urban and regional level), and policy makers to analyze and plan contemporary urbanizations. On the other hand, it could be useful also for academic research and didactic experiments, as a field ground for future research agenda, and delineating open questions.
