The benefits derived from the enhancement of inland areas are behind numerous European initiatives. Among them, there is the Strategia Nazionale Aree Interne (SNAI), which was born in Italy in 2013 and proposes a method for the demarcation of inland territories according to specific criteria and indicators. Although SNAI s work is relevant, it does not fully consider some crucial factors in describing the criticality and potential of inland areas. Moreover, little attention is given to dialogue with local stakeholders, whose confrontation is crucial for pursuing effective territorial development strategies. With such premises, the paper investigates the topic of territorial development of inland areas by presenting the results of the RI.P.R.O.VA.RE Project. Starting from a new demarcation of the territories - to be added to that one carried out by SNAI -, the Project analyses their level of resilience with the aim of proposing effective area strategies. To this end, the results obtained from one of the analysed focus areas are presented, exploring, in particular, the participatory approach adopted in this application case.

Abstract
The benefits derived from the enhancement of inland areas are behind numerous European initiatives. Among them, there is the Strategia Nazionale Aree Interne (SNAI), which was born in Italy in 2013 and proposes a method for the demarcation of inland territories according to specific criteria and indicators. Although SNAI s work is relevant, it does not fully consider some crucial factors in describing the criticality and potential of inland areas. Moreover, little attention is given to dialogue with local stakeholders, whose confrontation is crucial for pursuing effective territorial development strategies. With such premises, the paper investigates the topic of territorial development of inland areas by presenting the results of the RI.P.R.O.VA.RE Project. Starting from a new demarcation of the territories - to be added to that one carried out by SNAI -, the Project analyses their level of resilience with the aim of proposing effective area strategies. To this end, the results obtained from one of the analysed focus areas are presented, exploring, in particular, the participatory approach adopted in this application case.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
