- Environment/Sustainable development
Drawing on this multidisciplinary knowledge, the DiAR applies an analytical cross-disciplinary and project-based approach in its research. The Department is endeavouring to develop a structure for ongoing co-operation among institutions to help it share this knowledge. In today's environment of globalized debates on landscape and the environment, this kind of international networking is essential for analyzing emerging issues. International exchanges and relations in particular with the mediterrannean cultures are part of the mission of the department.
Among the objectives there are:
- understanding the role of landscape in social recomposition, the emergence of new uses and revitalization
of rural spaces, in connection with urban-to-rural migration processes;
- characterizing and managing of landscapes with heritage value (analysis of historic places) and tourist appeal;
- sustainable development and new approaches to the environment;
- characterizing the social and cultural appreciation and experience of urban spaces and suburbs;
- developing goals and approaches for landscape projects, with attention to sociocultural and environmental
issues

- the research Anas/DiAr on the Grande Raccordo Anulare
