Un modello a supporto della pianificazione strategica per la valorizzazione dei centri storici

This study presents a fuzzy logic-based decision model for planning sustainable development policies of historic centers. The model is structured around two composite indicators, namely Sustainable Development and Territorial Enhancement and Quality and Attractiveness of Historic Centers, each composed of sub-indicators grouped into thematic pillars. Given the relevance of qualitative and uncertain data in administrative decision-making, a Fuzzy Expert System is employed to manage imprecise or incomplete information and to systematically integrate quantitative and qualitative inputs. Applied to the historic center of Matino (Puglia, Italy), the model proves effective in identifying strategic priorities and supporting urban regeneration policies aligned with stakeholder perspectives and local needs.
