Abstract

In all the disciplines referring to environmental protection, the reference to ecosystem services (ES) is widely increasing. The growing awareness of climate change and the recognized need to secure energy production has been a driving force behind the expansion of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and their technologies.

However, RES has a spatial impact on the landscape and consequently on ES. This paper analyzes some critical aspects of their spatial mutual relationship considering an area of the Basilicata region including 5 municipalities (Cancellara, Pietragalla, San Chirico Nuovo, Tolve and Vaglio Basilicata) with particular reference to the impact that coming from not-regulated wind farms installation. For this approach it’s fundamental integrate the concept of ecosystem services into land management and planning decisions for control the pressures that threaten the ecosystem and their functionality, and “build” a model of governance that preserve their biodiversity and sustainability.
