Veneto in Europe: areas with high natural content (May 2006)

On 19^th May 2006, a meeting was held at the Praglia abbey (municipality of Teolo – Padua) aimed at increasing awareness of the PTRC updating process and investigating themes concerning open territory.
The open territory is not just a series of single areas (parks, reserves, sites of community importance, special protection areas, etc.) but is rather a network made up of ecological corridors and areas with high natural content, as outlined in the Verona charter, presented in February 2006 in Verona.
The open territory has been considered from the point of view of:

• ecosystem. In this perspective, the purpose is that of searching for reversibility indicators in order to spot, by analysing a wide set of territorial and environmental indexes, the concurrent conditions that make settlement interfere and upset the ecosystem and environmental continuity;
• andscape, which is interpreted in tune with the latest European researches (European Landscape Convention) and in compliance with the new dictates introduced by the Code of cultural heritage and landscape (Legislative Decree no. 42/2004, recently amended), therefore as a “territory whose distinguishing marks derive from nature, human history or from their relations”.
