- Abstract
The current economic situation has highlighted the difficulties and fragility of some previous programmatic choices, which have strongly penalized Italian marginal areas. This has been fur ther aggravated by the Ukrainian conflict and by the lengthening of the pandemic recession. Local planning has often proved to be unsustainable in the long-term due to its lack of global sustainability. Local projects are frequently developed and realized in situations of contingent needs, tight deadlines, and by below-strength staff, which do not allow for adequate and accurate overall planning. These difficulties have emerged and have particularly increased during the past year with the rising strain of responding promptly to the copious National and European funds released in support of the dual transition, established by the European Union. In this situation, it seems mandatory to support the marginal areas in their transition process and in their responsive and conscious participation in the allocated funding. The expectation is to finance projects with positive impacts and with long terms sustainable effects on the peripheral territories, increasing their competitiveness but mostly their socio-economic wellbeing. The aim of this study was to prioritize, through a multicriteria model, different projects in marginal areas according to their sustainability impact levels, in line with the European goals. This paper proposes an Absolute Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model through a targeted selection of Urban Sustainability Indicators (USIs) to define the degree of sustainability of different urban projects. and their ranking in accordance with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) Missions. By examining the efficiency of the allocation of funds in maximizing the expected quantitative-qualitative impacts on marginal areas, this study allows to verify policy objectives. This paper may support future models able of ranking a large scale of urban projects on their sustainability impacts in marginal regions. The definition of scales of priorities can therefore become a useful tool capable of assisting territories in applying awareness to funds for projects with high sustainable impacts.
