Abstract

By their very nature physical networks and natural infrastructures and, in particular, rivers have always had the prerogative of connecting peoples, landscapes and cultures, embodying a great historical, economic, social and environmental wealth. At the same time – due to their supra-local character and their geographic configuration – they have often highlighted a great difficulty in applying tools related to their management (Danese, Chicca, 2007). The paper aims to describe the methodology used for the definition of a River Contract based on the Regional Design operational approach. It traces the path of research-action that led the local community of Buonconvento, a small Tuscan town in the province of Siena, to activate networks of social capital useful to build the coastal community. In this particular institutional and scientific context, the River Contract represents an opportunity to build a more equitable and sustainable future, encouraging the dialogue and the association of the entire coastal community. Understood, in fact, as a pact for the rebirth of the river basin, the River Contract calls institutions and individuals to a non-sectoral vision to be managed in collective forms.
