The relevance of small islands in the Mediterranean is globally recognized as they represent unique territories characterized by peculiar environments and natural resources. Due to their particular geographical and socio-economic constraints, small islands represent fragile contexts, particularly vulnerable to climate change and global economic crises, suffering of negative impacts derived from space and resource management constraints, dependence on energy supply, limited water, increase of pollution and waste, unsustainable use of natural resources, great seasonal variations of populations due to tourism pressure. This paper describes a study performed on the Tremiti Islands (Southern Italy), affected by a series of problems derived from conditions of marginality and depopulation. The study discusses the role of public governance and the implementation of local policies to promote the environment regeneration and economic growth of these areas. Many opportunities for local territories to facilitate their transition to an inclusive and green economy are identified, based on an efficient management of main resources such as water, energy, waste, and the restoration of biodiversity and the reduction of pollution. The study moves from the addresses set by the Common Strategy and Action Plan developed within the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas (CETS) of the Gargano National Park. It focuses on the actions to be implemented in the Tremiti Islands to promote sustainable tourism preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the area and enhancing local socio-economic resources. In detail, it was investigated the potential effect of digitalization and the benefits of digital and smart tools to address the challenges of contemporary urban governance of Tremiti islands. As a result, a proposal to implement innovative information services and tourist experiences on San Domino and San Nicola islands was made, to allow visitors to explore the islands by promoting sustainable mobility and smart connectivity.

摘要

The relevance of small islands in the Mediterranean is globally recognized as they represent unique territories characterized by peculiar environments and natural resources. Due to their particular geographical and socio-economic constraints, small islands represent fragile contexts, particularly vulnerable to climate change and global economic crises, suffering of negative impacts derived from space and resource management constraints, dependence on energy supply, limited water, increase of pollution and waste, unsustainable use of natural resources, great seasonal variations of populations due to tourism pressure. This paper describes a study performed on the Tremiti Islands (Southern Italy), affected by a series of problems derived from conditions of marginality and depopulation. The study discusses the role of public governance and the implementation of local policies to promote the environment regeneration and economic growth of these areas. Many opportunities for local territories to facilitate their transition to an inclusive and green economy are identified, based on an efficient management of main resources such as water, energy, waste, and the restoration of biodiversity and the reduction of pollution. The study moves from the addresses set by the Common Strategy and Action Plan developed within the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas (CETS) of the Gargano National Park. It focuses on the actions to be implemented in the Tremiti Islands to promote sustainable tourism preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the area and enhancing local socio-economic resources. In detail, it was investigated the potential effect of digitalization and the benefits of digital and smart tools to address the challenges of contemporary urban governance of Tremiti islands. As a result, a proposal to implement innovative information services and tourist experiences on San Domino and San Nicola islands was made, to allow visitors to explore the islands by promoting sustainable mobility and smart connectivity.
