Paesaggi d’eccezione, paesaggi del quotidiano. I casi di Cinque Terre, Saint- Émilion, Tokaj

A comparative analysis of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites—Cinque Terre, Saint-Émilion, and Tokaj—reveals how local communities integrate the concept of 'exceptional universal value' with daily life while balancing conservation with sustainable development. The study, conducted between 2006 and 2008 as part of France's 'Landscape and Durable Development' program, examined how these wine-producing regions navigate the tension between preserving their unique cultural landscapes and adapting them for long-term viability. Unlike traditional preservation models that risk 'mummification,' or static conservation, this research highlights dynamic approaches where local appropriation ensures both heritage protection and sustainable evolution.
