Lessons Learned: Multipurpose Management of Inland Valleys
LESSON 1
Inland valleys constitute multifunctional spaces–resources, whose
regulation produced new socio-economic dynamics in benefited areas.
LESSON 2
The lowland regulation approach needs to take into account different factors,
with a similar level of importance.
LESSON 3
After conceiving and implementing a regulation, it is properly brought
to «life»: exploitation, maintenance and management. Main
actors are, here, the villagers. Tools like a model can help them to fully
play their role in the exploitation, management and infrastructure maintenance
processes.
LESSON 4
To promote the valorization of developments, it is important to follow
several principles:
- the creation of a connection between objectives and stakes, defined since the assessment stage (pre-diagnostic study, complementary socio-economic study, technical evaluations, etc.);
- the logic of contracting authorities that put owners and exploiters
in charge of the regulation;
· the clarification of the performance specifications for the various actors involved; - the definition of the conditions for a prudent exploitation of developments;
- the sustainability of investments and of the organizational model;
- the design of tools (a toolbox) for the value process;
- the iterative character of the value process;
- the role of communities as contracting authorities.
