Evaluation and mapping of cultural services in terraced landscapes. The case study of the Amalfi Coast

A novel approach to evaluating and mapping cultural services in terraced landscapes, using the Amalfi Coast as a case study, reveals that these landscapes provide significant socio-economic and ecological benefits. The research identifies complex values and services through ecosystem service theory, integrating multi-criteria evaluation with spatial analysis in GIS. Community engagement via semi-structured questionnaires and collaborative mapping tools (VGI) highlights the interrelationship between local communities and their terraced environments. This method offers a practical framework for conserving and managing these evolving landscapes, which are at risk due to changing socio-economic conditions.
