Rationale

• Why do you think this case is relevant? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape challenges?

I think this case is relevant because it belongs in an area that has a lot of history and potential for its natural characteristics. We have lakes, beaches and there are also panoramic walks and remarkable areas that belong to the Flegrei Fields Regional Park. Both the archaeological sites and the natural protected areas are points of interest that need to be promoted through the landscape projects to not destroy their internal eco-systems and to acknowledge their real importance.

Water as a natural system

Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas

• Describe the water areas of your area in the contxt of the wider water system

The water areas in my area are included into a more wide systems of volcanic lakes that characterizes the Flegrei Fields park. Also, there is a little stretch of coast, identified as Spiaggia Romana. There are no rivers, indeed they're more like small canals that go into the cultivated areas.

• How does water appear in the landscape of your living lab? What types of water areas are common?

In the landscape of our area, water appears as sea and volcanic lakes. It's really common to have beaches and caves, some dunes before you arrive to the beach and cliffs in certain points of the coast line. Also there are cultivated fields served by canals that drain the water from the lakes.

• Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains
• Which dynamics do these water areas have?
• Have there been any flood events in the past?

Not in the specific study area, but in Bacoli yes.

• add 2-3 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like
• try to use drawings that express the system dynamics

Water as a living space

• Which habitats can be found in and along the water areas of your area?
• How is the water quality in your water areas?
• Which areas are still natural, which are urbanized/artificial?

Blue and Green Infrastructure

• What are the major potential elements of a green/blue infrastructure network? Are these likely to change/disappear? Why is that?

The main elements of the blue infrastructure are the Fusaro lake, which is located in the lower part of our area, and the coast with the Roman beach, which is located at the slopes of the promontory of Cuma. The Fusaro lake and the sea are connected by the mounth of the lake, which divides the Quarantine Park and the agricultural area. The main elements of the green infrastructure are the Quarantine park, which covers the total length of the left side of Fusaro lake. The tracks of the Curcumflegrea divide the green area in two part, on the left the abandoned part and on the right the agricultural area. North-west of our area is the promontory of Cuma, the regional forest and the archaeological site of Cuma. Throughout the area there is a strong presence of agricoltural areas, in which there are also many greenhouses.

Community Mapping

What is to be mapped here?

• Social groups from within the community, for example the youth, kids, students, parents, the retired etc. Typically, these groups have specific needs, which you can also make explicit on the map. These people might not be organized in any way, but they are usually present in the context you are observing
• Local stakeholder groups: these groups are organized in one or the other way. They only exist within the community context you are observing. For example: the local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers
• External stakeholder groups are not necessarily present in the environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.
• For each group, you may identify their needs, objectives, power and capacities
• You may also identify gaps and power conflicts
• Please try to redepict these elements in an integrated way and in relation to your water landscape. What is the relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?
