COMMUNITY-LED PROCESSES FOR PERI-URBAN REGENERATION IN NAPLES: EVALUATING SCENARIOS OF SOCIAL SELF-ORGANISATION AND COOPERATION

Abstract

The research investigates the possibility for regenerative socio-spatial dynamics to be activated within peri-urban areas, through community engagement in transformation and cooperative processes, promoting environmental integrity and socio-spatial diversity. This contribution aims at evaluating different scenarios involving social self-organisation, towards the activation of community-led regeneration processes within peri-urban residual spaces. Through a site-specific set of indicators, related to categories of territorial and social self-production, the preferable scenario is evaluated, adopting the Analytic Network Process (ANP) as Multi-Criteria Decision Aid method (MCDA).
