Abstract

The paper develops the issue of the sea-coast system as a “maritime cultural landscape”, using the theory of the “commons”. The maritime cultural landscape is understood as a common good and this implies the need to involve urban and maritime communities in both its care and enhancement. Based on this assumption, we consider the maritime cultural landscape as a “cultural ecosystem”, an expression of the heterogeneity of urban and maritime communities and their interrelationships. In this perspective, the research proposes a framework to analyse “cultural values” and “cultural services” for the maritime cultural landscape enhancement by involving the coastal community through collaborative governance processes.

Keywords: maritime cultural landscape, commons, collaborative governance.
