Rationale

• Lake Fusaro turns out to be a natural element that from the earliest Greek civilizations was essential for anthropic organization and development, today it is not only home to historical cultural heritage but there is a constant development of environments that show a fascinating biodiversity
• The characteristics of the place suggest the possibility of defining a planning according to a type of liveability that is more ecological, social and aesthetically pleasing

Water as a natural system

Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas

• Lake Fusaro is included in the limits of the municipality of Bacoli belonging to the vast South-West area of ​​Naples called Campi Flegrei, this is a large caldera with a diameter of 15 km whose limits are defined by the Posillipo hill, the Camaldoli hill, the acropolis of Cuma and Monte di Procida, in this circuit there are numerous craters. The Phlegraean word derives from the Greek flégo that is "burn" or "ardo", however, it does not refer to eruptive manifestations since in Roman times the volcano was in a quiet state, the attribute seems to refer to the presence of numerous fumaroles and thermal waters, these forms of hydrothermal manifestations are typical of the locality
• In ancient times, Lake Fusaro was identified with the mythical Acherusia palus (III CENTURY BC) that is the infernal swamp generated by the Acheron river, the local populations cultivated mussels in the lake and oysters today there are mussel farms which are sometimes interrupted due to pollution due to the incorrect disposal of black water and waste
• Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains
• The Campi Flegrei area appears to be like a lunar landscape, you can see several depressed areas, that is, ancient calderas due to the volcanic activity of the site, some of them were filled with water forming lakes, for example Lake Averno; others, such as the Solfatara, are the expression of the volcanic activity that manifests itself through the fumaroles. In particular, the Fusaro lake was formed with the closure of the stretch of sea between 2 hamlets of Bacoli, Torregaveta and Cuma, today the coast separates the lake from the sea forming an exceptional ecosystem where the typical coastal dune is visible, composed of a variegated spontaneous vegetation called Mediterranean scrub, in addition to the lake it has two water flows that flow into the Tyrrhenian Sea; the origin of Lake Miseno is very similar, that is, separated from the sea by a sandy barrier about 200 meters wide and connected to the sea by two streams.
•  In the summer of 2011 and 2017, particular precipitation values ​​were recorded which caused particular and devastating alluvial phenomena in a single day in the area adjacent to Lake Fusaro but were nevertheless episodic events
• 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

• How is the water quality in your water areas?
• Which areas are still natural, which are urbanized/artificial?

Blue and Green Infrastructure

•  The green and blue infrastructures are planned networks, occupied by natural and semi-natural areas of the territory, capable of providing multiple environmental and social benefits but today around the Fusaro lake there are many abandoned and uncultivated green areas that limit accessibility . In general, the area around Lake Fusaro has a great potential that is not fully exploited due to water pollution and the ban on bathing to try to improve the state of the water.

• The municipal authorities are planning to implement a redevelopment plan that provides for the restoration and making available to the public, through a loan, of the Grotte dell'Acqua, a Roman spa complex, and the completion of the works on the adjacent car park to the Vanvitelliano Park in order to accommodate many more people allowing a walk or bike ride from the Cumana del Fusaro station to the Cumana Acropolis passing through the Roman beach.

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?
