The systematic integration of landscape dimension into general and sector-focused planning policies is one of the European Landscape Convention crucial points. This aspect is still poorly implemented in Italy, where landscape is often conceived as a field of action separate from the territorial context.
This paper aims to assess the territorial resilience of a socio-ecological system through an inno...vative integrated evaluation framework to aid the decision-making process in the planning of transformation scenarios.
An effective biodiversity conservation in Protected Areas (PAs) requires that they are seen as pa...rt of larger
ecosystems and that the ecological connectivity is maintained beyond PA administrative boundaries. The study
of ecological processes that link PAs to their surrounding landscapes is thus of great importance to understand
Urban resilience - namely the capacity of a territorial system to persist, adapt or transform in the face of pressure - calls for an adaptive approach to planning, able to face uncertainty and unpredictability. Evaluation plays a key role to support a "learn-by-doing approach", providing tools and methods able to sustain the definition of territorial and landscape policies under a resilience perspective. The present article illustrates an experimentation developed on a real-world case study in Trentino Region.

An effective biodiversity conservation in Protected Areas (PAs) requires that they are seen as part of larger ecosystems and that the ecological connectivity is maintained beyond PA administrative boundaries. The study of ecological processes that link PAs to their surrounding landscapes is thus of great importance to understand which actions should be implemented to promote inside-outside ecological connectivity.
The increasing attention on environmental problems is stimulating the development of integrated evaluation approaches to territorial transformations, where different facets have to be considered. The present paper focuses on the development of a novel integrated evaluation model for measuring the ecological states and the economic values of an environmental system employing both a system of indicators and a mathematical model of Lotka-Volterra.
The present paper focuses on the role covered by dynamic models as support for the decision-making process in the evaluation of policies and actions for increasing the resilience of cities and territories. In recent decades, urban resilience has been recognized as a dynamic and multidimensional phenomenon that characterizes urban and metropolitan area dynamics. Therefore, it may be considered a fundamental aspect of urban and territorial planning.
