Rapporto tra conoscenza e normative di salvaguardia in Val Resia

The aim is to present the methodology, structure and results of a research project focusing on the vernacular built heritage and the historic temporary settlement of the Resia Valley (UD), situated on the border between the Julian Alps and the Julian Pre-Alps, on the border with Slovenia. The method for identifying building and land resources was designed to explicitly link to their ‘appropriate regeneration’ issue. The analysis was conducted with a ‘comprehensive’ approach relatively to human settlements (permanent and temporary) by drawing up a series of interrelated data sheets. Briefly, these are: Summary survey form for permanent settlements (A-R); Summary survey form for temporary settlements (S-R); Location form (S-LOC); Detailed survey form for permanent settlements (A-B); Detailed survey form for temporary settlements (S-B). It is considered that this investigation phase, in terms of its structure and content, already foreshadows the framework of potential regulations. The location data sheets (S-LOC), by summarising the data from the those of every single building (S-R), and through historical maps and photographic documentation have enabled an assessment of the overall environmental and landscape characteristics and the identification of non-residential built features (mills, kilns, barns, boundary stones, etc.) that may be the subject of targeted and specific conservation measures. The S-R data sheet were also used to draw up a typological list of the identified cases, on the basis of which the restoration criteria were defined for various scenarios; for instance by identifying possibles building variations to meet actual cultural, economic and institutional requirements.
