Abstract
Small towns are a widespread heritage that needs to be protected and valorized because it preserves identity and community values. The de-marginalisation and depopulation phenomena of which they are affected call for rapid actions with effective and organic strategies. Hence the purpose of the work, aimed at characterizing a multi-criteria analysis tool useful to express judgements on economic convenience of small towns valorization projects. Thus, in the light of the sustainable development principles, analysis criteria and sub-criteria are first defined. Evaluation indices are then selected and proposed with regard to the historical-architectural criteria. Research perspectives are in the study conclusions.
The contribution to this paper is the result of the joint work of the three authors, to which the paper has to be attributed in equal parts.
