Costruire la sostenibilità sociale dell'archeologia preventiva. Un cantiere aperto

Abstract

Preventive archaeology in Italy integrates
aspects of social sustainability, although
these may be less visible compared to
environmental and economic dimensions.
The protection of cultural heritage,
inherent in preventive archaeology,
offers opportunities for education, community
engagement, and the preservation
of shared identities. However, social
sustainability often remains underemphasized
in administrative processes,
limiting public participation and the
potential for community involvement.
Addressing these challenges requires
both administrative adaptability and
public initiatives to ensure that preventive
archaeology can fully contribute to
social cohesion and sustainable cultural
management.
