Abstract

The paper analyses the theme of walkability in the western part of Potenza municipality. It is based on participatory process developed in Active Citizenship for Sustainable Development of the Territory (CAST) project. During this experience a cognitive framework has been defined both adopting traditional approaches, and, in order to increase the participation, using new information technologies and social networks. The data that emerged were revised and evaluated for the definition of possible strategies for the improvement of walkability, accessibility to the services and equipment and, more generally, the neighbourhood liveability.
