The study discussed in this paper proposes a method for the integrated analysis of these rural areas which combines the analysis of land cover dynamics, using GIS, with an assessment of socio-economic dynamics, reconstructed through the combined use of indicators and local history. The method, applied to a socio-ecological system which is representative of the Mediterranean basin, is proposed as a tool to support sustainability processes and the territorialisation of rural polices.} url={http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=52639}, author={Giovanni Quaranta and Rosanna Salvia} pages={59-81}, language={EN}}
