ALPTER - Paesaggi terrazzati nell’arco alpino 12/2004 - 12/2007
Interreg project ALPTER was conceived to counteract the abandonment of terraced agricultural areas in the alpine region, a problem that only during the last years has risen the attention of both institutions and population, for the loss of cultural heritage and the natural hazard that it can produce. The project started with the collection of data on 8 terraced areas, that now are being being elaborated to define procedures with regard to significant topics such as mapping, assessment of geological hazard, enhancement of agricultural production or promotion of tourism in terraced zones. Recovery works are meanwhile being realized in the study areas, to produce some examples of effective recovery of terraces to present and diffuse.

GreenKeys - Urban Green as a Key for Sustainable Cities 05/2005-04/2008
GreenKeys focuses on the improvement of urban green spaces as a step for more sustainable cities. The three main objectives are (1) to provide incentives for structural changes in cities by offering possibilities for improvement of green spaces. The partner cities will develop together with local stakeholders a strategic approach for the pilot project to create new or improve existing green areas for more accessibility, social and recreational value and ecological efficiency. With the involvement of local actors the political attention to the benefits of green spaces to urban environment will be increased. GreenKeys will support projects in order (2) to develop a “Pool of Green Strategies” (instruments, methods, concepts and good examples) based on future needs and (3) using the synergies will promote the transfer of knowledge through a network.

IPAM - Integrative Protected Area Management in the Alps-Adriatic-Region
05/2005-04/2008
The project IPAM - Toolbox (Integrative Protected Area Management by Example of the Alps - Adriatic Region) focuses on the evaluation, harmonisation and development of methods, instruments and infrastructures for planning and managing protected areas.
The protection of areas and sites is one of the most important instruments for sustainable spatial development. The management of these sites has become a challenge for conservation, since protected area management is related to three dimensions: the spatial, socio-cultural and economic. Therefore, the planning and managing of protected areas hit very different legal, administrative and technical realities.

Parks&Economy - Developing Initiatives exploiting the Potential of Natural Heritage for Regional Spatial Development 04/2006 - 03/2008
The aim of the project is the development of national, nature and landscape parks in rural Europe. The project will develop and demonstrate an innovative approach where interdisciplinary integrated Development and Marketing Plans (DEMAP) will be drafted based upon scientific guidance and results of a SWOT analysis. The DEMAP will outline actions to spur economic development while promoting environmental protection as natural heritage will be used as a driver for the the marketing of regional products (registration of regional product and service labels for typical crafts, food products and tourism services) and citizen identities. First DEMAP actions will be realised as pilots across the park areas. In addition, experiences upon common challenges will be exchanged and measures to sensitise the public will be realised as a joint effort. The entire P&E approach will be documented and suggested for other CADSES areas to adopt.Partner Lead - Province of Teramo, European Development, Italy;

REVITAMIN - Revitalisation of former brown coal mining areas
05/2005 - 04/2008
The aim of the project is at upgrading and developing post mining landscapes at a transnational level. The partners in this project intend to identify innovative, cost-efficient, sustainable and transferable scenarios of landscape revitalisation. The result will be a transnational strategy for the revitalisation of mining areas in line with European principles of spatial development without neglecting national regional diversity. This sophisticated system can be used in all European countries with natural resources industry and will assist local authorities, national and regional planning institutions as well as the European Union in analysing, planning and restructuring disturbed landscapes. Finally, an information and co-operation network for mining regions for the exchange of information and transfer of know-how, as well as a platform for business activities beyond the scope of this project will be set up.

SIMOCA - Setting up and implementation of sustainable and multifunctional rural development model based on organic and competitive agriculture 01/2003- 12/2005
The general objective of the project is to define a new strategy for sustainable and multifunctional rural development based on the growth of organic farming. For this purpose, territorial integration between CADSES countries has to be favoured by promoting meetings and exchange of knowledge between different bodies that promote land development (decision makers, end-users, etc.) by setting up international networks and favouring knowledge exchange. The project was formulated to answer to the main problem between the selected countries that is the lack of a sustainable rural development strategy that integrates socio-economic, agricultural, cultural and environmental aspects.
