To this purpose, the notion of social capital is firstly reinterpreted by emphasizing the territorial dimension and the link with the geographic, political-economic and cultural components that influence migration choices and integration processes. Secondly, the methodological tools used to analyze the relationship between migration dynamics and the existing social capital in a specific territory are identified, paying attention to the territorialization processes and the contribution of immigrants to the construction and transformation of places and communities of destination. In particular, the role of second generations is detected, both in building territorial networks and social and cultural interaction and in the dynamics of...

La loro base economica e cambiata ; le relazioni con il territorio circostante sono mutate per fenomeni di diffusione urbana e contro-urbanizzazione ; la gerarchla mostra chiari segni di ristrutturazione, con appiattimento e maggiore selezione insieme ; lo stesso equilibrio complessivo della rete e messo in discussione da sintomi di delitoralizzazione. In un insieme di citta in cui la nobile eredita del passato non rappresenta soltanto un vantaggio per il turismo, ma anche un peso per il continuo impegno di conservazione, la qualita della vita tende purtroppo a peggiorare.

As a contribution to the needs of requalification of the drove roads, we propose a method of analysis for their preservation and their reuse for geotourism purposes, showing the steps and instruments necessary to organize, enhance and communicate transhumance routes as integrated cultural landscapes. Results are presented as applied to a specific case study (Molise, IT) of a geoconservation management proposal for the assessment of the state of conservation of the drove roads, of their cultural heritage and of their potential reuse for geotourism. This methodological proposal uses geographical information systems, historical sources, cartography and remote sensing techniques and includes 3D virtual reconstructions of the transhumance landscape....
