Abstract

The application of multivariate techniques is widely used if you want to study phenomena or processes characterized by numerous variables that work simultaneously in time and space. The present contribution - with a view to using spatial statistical tools - intends to focus on the economic and production identities and vocations of Puglia, attempting to highlight inter-institutional relations and relationships. Thus, on the basis of the analysis of territorial and economic indicators, it has been proposed to hypothesize clusters as potential reference points and adequate functional tools for the planning and adoption of effective and appropriate regional policies of intervention.

The contribution is the result of joint reflections by the authors, with the following contributions attributed to S. Montrone (chapters 5 and 6), to P. Perchinunno (chapters 3 and 4), and to C. M. Torre (chapters 1 and 2).
