Tangible and intangible: digital systems and methodological analysis for understanding and accessing the cultural heritage of fragile territories

This research examines the town of Lama dei Peligni as an emblematic example of a fragile territory in the Abruzzo hinterland, characterized by the loss of cultural identity, yet set within an orographic context distinguished by significant landscape qualities. The study employed a scientific, multidisciplinary, and integrated methodological approach, aimed at objectively and informatively understanding the territory's historical-environmental -tangible and intangible- values. Analyses were structured within a unified system that enabled objective comparisons with the current configuration of places, facilitating the updating and iteration of various analyses by establishing a GIS-based geodatabase. The heterogeneous data collected were synthesized through the language and methodologies of graphic representation, employed as a tool for analysis and scientific cognitive mediation, to valorise and disseminate the findings, ultimately guiding informed design decisions.
