Beyond the norm: The strategic part of the regional landscape plan of Friuli Venezia Giulia

In 2014 the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia launched the process of drafting the Regional Landscape Plan through a gradual participatory process in the Codice dei Beni culturali e del Paesaggio and in the European Landscape Convention. This project, which was also attended by an interdepartmental team of the University of Udine, ended in April 2018 with the approval of the Plan; this places Friuli Venezia Giulia among the few Italian regions to have a landscape management tool. The Plan, organized in three parts, statutory, strategic and management, is characterized by innovative aspects and a vision that opens up to a dynamic and participatory conception of landscape planning. The strategic part was built on three pillars: networks, structural landscapes, guidelines, which also consider the results of the important participatory process.
