Resumen de Tourist landscape mutations, design in climate change projections: the Ravenna coast case study
Beatrice Magagnoli, Lorenzo Tenti
Climate change involves variations in physical, economic and social conditionsand landscape is directly impacted by them. Tourist preparatory requirementsare tightly connected with landscape state and economic success, to a territorialtransformation, whether artificial or natural, corresponds to a variation to thetourist attractiveness. Italian tourism sector will suffer heavy losses related toCCs which, as evidenced by SNAC, “range from 0.25% to 1.05% of GDP”,according to that national and regional climate change adaptation strategiesrecommend multiple objectives based on indirect actions.We apply and integrate these strategies focusing on Emilia-Romagna coastwhich is highly exposed to climate change risk, in particular we refer to theRavenna’s Climate change adaptation plan that was produced by the SealineResearch Centre turning actions and conclusions into tourist perspective.The aim of this work is to propose a new process in order to obtain designedcoastal areas which are simultaneously resilient to climate change and touristattractiveness. By inserting two variables into the SEbD process such as climatechange and infrastructure development interventions we are capable tooptimize the targeted actions making them useful both for the protection of theterritory and for the sustenance of the tourist economic sector. Declaring newtransformations, which refer to the future territorial mutations that the requestedinfrastructure implies, we emphasize actions that will certainly be necessarybut also that can become advantageous within heterogeneous sectors. Thisresearch generates a new tourism perspective in relation to climate change,present new direct strategies which can be applied to design landscape inthe short and medium term and propose a systemization of different subjects with the aim of reconsider the position of landscape architecture in designhierarchy emphasizing its process management capability. The results can directstrategic and design actions included in the framework of territorial planningprograms coordinated by public institutions. A strategic and planning synergyfrom different scopes would benefit both sectors with a double result: territoryresilience and tourism sector maintenance.
