Abstract

The work aims at proposing a new methodology for research and intervention based on River Restoration which envisages: a systematization of the knowledge acquired from various sectors regarding the reduction of hydric/hydro-ecological risks, a comparison of Italian and European planning instruments regarding the subject in question, the definition of strategies for shared and participative risk management, and the realisation of a chart of morphotypes of different river contexts. Considering that River Restoration aims at the return to the original natural state of watercourses and the reduction of hydric/hydro-ecological risks, the proposed interventions may be understood as an attempt to return as much as possible to the “natural ecological state” of rivers. Research will therefore analyse the specific characteristics of Tuscan river basins, involving in the monitoring, management and project operations not only institutions, but also local communities, initiating in doing so a process of redefinition of the relationship of populations with “their” rivers.
