Concepts and Tools for the Emergence of the Axiological Subject in the Prospect of Territorial Rebalancing

This study concerns the definition of certain conceptual aspects underlying territorial disadvantage as a consequence of the unbalanced individual-community relationship in its ontological and epistemological foundations. Some disciplinary premises of evaluation science define the scope of interest, in particular the relationship between individual and collective interest, the concept of freedom, and the definition of the personal sphere as the constitutive parterre of ordered communities. Emerging in this in-depth study is the role of agency in the areas of exchange production and assessment, the latter addressing Appraisal’s responsibility in abstaining from taking a position with respect to the progressive drainage of demographic and territorial resources, despite the potential of the real estate analysis tool. Some references to the question of economic freedom and the importance of this capacity in the reform of the collective axiological order prepare some philosophical reflections on the possible reform of the economy and of the representation of the territory in order to recover its human dimension and its many dispersed identities.
