Abstract: “INSITE” – Integrated Shared Knowledge from Geo-Paleontological Heritage to Present Territorial Challenges is a Research Project of National Relevance (PRIN), funded in 2022 by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR). The project was carried out through the collaboration of two main research units: the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) at the University of Naples Federico II, acting as the lead institution under the coordination of R.A. La Rocca, and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) at the University of Sannio (Benevento), coordinated by F.O. Amore.

Working in close synergy, this research group addressed the complex issue of territorial regeneration. The primary objective was to explore innovative strategies and methodologies to enhance a form of cultural heritage that has historically been perceived as the exclusive domain of specialists. Central to this approach is the role of spatial planning, which serves as a guiding framework for achieving integrated governance.

This volume collects the contributions presented at the conference “The Challenges of INSITE,”, at the Polytechnic School and Basic Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II. The event provided a timely platform for scholarly exchange and a preliminary assessment of the project’s goals: specifically, the potential to transform geo-paleontological heritage from a “passive legacy” into an active driver of territorial attractiveness and improved quality of life.
