The article aims to delve into and justify the theoretical choices that guided the Operational Unit of the University of Udine within the context of the PRIN “Mind – Mountain inside the mountains” in directing the field research towards the theme of the relationships between the fate of the mountain landscape in small villages and the cohesion within them. By sequentially outlining how the research group formulated the questions that guide the fieldwork and how it selected a specific target and methodology, the aim is to illustrate the coherence between the research questions and the proposed actions. This research will take place throughout 2024 in some selected small communities in the Friulian Mountain areas, targeting individuals born between 1989 and 1998 and new residents who have decided to move to these areas in the last years. The tool that will be used for the qualitative research is hermeneutic interviews, with recordings and transcriptions of the dialogues for subsequent study and comparison. In line with the themes requested by the focus session, the article seeks to explicitly state the theoretical reasons that led the research group to consider the connections between the evolving landscape historically shaped by humans for decades and the state of health of intra-community relationships as crucial aspects for understanding the current state of the mountain and contemplating possible futures.

Abstract
The article aims to delve into and justify the theoretical choices that guided the Operational Unit of the University of Udine within the context of the PRIN “Mind – Mountain inside the mountains” in directing the field research towards the theme of the relationships between the fate of the mountain landscape in small villages and the cohesion within them. By sequentially outlining how the research group formulated the questions that guide the fieldwork and how it selected a specific target and methodology, the aim is to illustrate the coherence between the research questions and the proposed actions. This research will take place throughout 2024 in some selected small communities in the Friulian Mountain areas, targeting individuals born between 1989 and 1998 and new residents who have decided to move to these areas in the last years. The tool that will be used for the qualitative research is hermeneutic interviews, with recordings and transcriptions of the dialogues for subsequent study and comparison. In line with the themes requested by the focus session, the article seeks to explicitly state the theoretical reasons that led the research group to consider the connections between the evolving landscape historically shaped by humans for decades and the state of health of intra-community relationships as crucial aspects for understanding the current state of the mountain and contemplating possible futures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
