Abstract
The marginalisation of the inner areas due to increased social, material, economic, infrastructural vulnerability is a phenomenon that afflicts many countries today and is growing rapidly.In recent years, specific policies, measures, and funding have been proposed aimed at counteracting this phenomenon.To date, despite the increased awareness of the issue of marginal areas and the growing concern about the progressive decline and abandonment of large areas of territory, current policies are slow to produce the expected effects.The heritage of weak areas, if properly integrated, can become a resource, an opportunity for the whole territorial system. Decision-makers engaged in the prospect of the territorial rebalancing will have to be supported in identifying the residual values of these marginal areas, to recognise where and how it can be significantly emphasised in the prospect of an integrated long-run redevelopment process. The research, according to a multicriteria-based axiological approach, proposes the construction of a Reaction Capacity Index (RCI) of the internal areas of Sicily. The estimation and representation in QGIS of the RCI provides an overall framework based on which decision makers can identify specific policies and actions aimed at favouring a territorial rebalancing. The methodological approach for estimating the RCI index that provides an overall measure of territorial capital endowment is developed based on the Multi-attribute Value Theory (MAVT).
