Abstract

The Vulture Regional Park is unique from a geomorphological point of view and provides an opportunity to experiment with the concept of participation and community. It represents an ideal and privileged ‘design yard’ for experimenting with an ‘ecological conversion of socio-territorial models’ and, at the same time, a significant scientific challenge for the study of a Rural and Creativity Living Lab, enhanced through a ‘place-based’ and ‘people-oriented’ approach that for the first time in the history of Living Labs is applied to a Park. The main objective of this essay is, therefore, to present the Living Lab model that the University of Naples is about to implement in the context of the Vulture Park, through a pilot project highly focused on the needs of the inhabitants of Basilicata, to assess its contribution to sustainable rural development. The paper argues that the element of community and cultural identity should be considered an essential element to enable sustainable living.
