Water as a natural system

Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas

• The Phlegraean Fields, occupy the south-western part of the Campanian plain, have a motto articulated morphology which is due to the superimposition of the deposits of numerous eruptive centers and "calderic" collapses, which occurred in the last 50,000 years
• Campi Flegrei are an area with diffents ancient volcanic crater, some of them are filled with water, as the Fusaro, Averno, Miseno and Lucrino lake, while some of them are filled with vegetation. Slowly, over the centuries, bradyseism has caused much of the ancient evidence to collapse, which has always affected the entire north coast of the Neapolitan area

Water as a living space

• The good climatic conditions have favored the settlement of Apennine and Mediterranean plant species, which are distributed according to the environmental conditions: this is why in the Phlegraean territory, many plant associations coexist in a small space. The presence of stretches of water favors the formation of a mesophilic flora, typical of the Apennines, while at the highest altitudes it is common to meet Mediterranean vegetation which enjoys the greatest insolarization and aridity
• It has an excellent and bathing water quality according to the analyzes carried out by Arpac Campania
• There are no completely natural areas, there is always a minimal presence of anthropization

Blue and Green Infrastructure

• The major potential elements of the area in relation to green and blue infrastructures is certainly the presence of the Fusaro and Miseno lakes that surround the study area, creating an ecological corridor towards the sea together with the large green spaces that characterize the area. As shown in the map, there are also flood and hydraulic risk areas that could lead to a change or disappearance of natural elements

Water as a cultural space

Land use and water

• As shown in the map, the rural landscapes of the study area are characterized not only by agricultural wealth but also by the structure of the agricultural systems. What catches the eye is above all the vastness of the rural component that characterizes the entire area under consideration. Excellent is the production of wines and fruit and vegetables.
• Agricultural plants have their own history that has been handed down over time, and it is certainly a wealth that must be protected and valued, as well as preserved for the new generations
• Due to the phenomenon of bradisimo, as well as to the ever increasing urbanization and natural phenomena such as hydraulic and alluvial risk, the land use may be destined to change

Cultural and spatial typologies of water areas

• The urban morphology of our area has never followed a regular path, it's characterized by a sort of widespread urbanization. Probably one of the attractive factors which brought to the first settlements, was the presence of the castle, centre of life during the Aragonese domain. Another important features may have been the presence of the seaside and the near port of Baia. This contributed to generate an economy mainly based on fishing but, thanks to the wide contryside, even based on agricolture. In addition to the sea, another type of water that is very present is the thermal water, very common in all the Phlegraean area

Sacred spaces and heritage

• The main elements that hold cultural value are:

-The Castle of Baia, which was built between 1490 and 1493 by the Aragonese and enlarged between the 16th and 18th centuries during the Spanish Viceroyalty, dominates the summit of the promontory that closes the Gulf of Baia to the south. It currently houses the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields; the walls of the Castle contain the remains of a grandiose Roman villa, an example of a maritime residential system that rises from the sea for almost a hundred meters to the top of the promontory, where the Roman floors are preserved in excellent condition. The villa was built already in the second century. B.C.

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

• Which elements are essential for the landscape character?
• Has the landscape been painted or otherwise depicted, when and whom? Which elements are essential?
• Which narratives exist? Who has written about this landscape or depicted it in some way?
• You can add text and images

•

•

Water and People

Accessibility and usability

• The water area which are accessible are the Castle of Baia beach and the Villa Ferretti beach; they both have controlled access. There aren't other area where the sea is accessible because of the rocky conformation of the hill, so the spatial obstacles are natural and clearly strong.
• Everyone can enjoy this places but their biggest obstacle is that they can only be reached by sea.

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?
