4 DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Molise region has a high naturalistic and environmental value that could also become a source of important tourism-economic development.
The identification of priority action areas can become strategic, in order to preserve the actual resources, and, at the same time, to improve local economy. In this paper the TiBs inside the commuting zones are identified as areas undergoing possible transformation because of demographic, logistic (infrastructures), socio-economic (employment, commuting) reasons.
They were then integrated with possible TiBs in LFAs, in order to include also lands with disadvantaged economic situation, in contrast with their high environmental values. Priority action areas constitute 35% of the whole regional surface.
Fig. 4: ES values distribution (Source: our elaboration, 2018) The ES monetary values assessment was performed, at the meta-data level and it is based on literature values, both for whole region and for priority areas. Results showed an important role of priority action areas (in terms of weakness or resource) and they support policies in which nature conservation and conservation management do not necessary pose a trade-off between the environment and development (de Groot et al., 2010). Multicriteria assessment frameworks, taking into account different landscape aspects (TiBs and LFAs, in this study), can contribute to a sustainable ecosystem use, identifying contexts more strategic, able to generate substantial ecological, social, and economic benefits.
The proposed integrated approach is aimed to improve knowledge and awareness about the strategic choices at policy level and to facility institutional/public communication, in order to achieve a real implementation of planning policies arising from a shared and transparent analysis process.
