Abstract

The Good Practices selected by the province of Potenza within the LOCARBO project, which are part of the Three Thematic Pillars of the project described below fully testify the experimentation of new cooperation practices in low-density contexts, where the results are positive when virtuous collaborations have been activated, linking energy policies objectives with citizens awareness, sustainable energy themes and new local entrepreneurial actions able to provide positive externalities from the economic point of view and the exploitation of local resources. This work re-classify the Good Practices presented in the LOCARBO project, according to different criteria constructed looking at the peculiar characteristics of the territorial context of reference. Low density contexts, implementation of integrated projects, inter-institutional cooperation models, collaborative approaches between institution and community and valorization of communities skills and local resources are the new criteria built after reading the local peculiarities, through to review projects and development strategies in Energy efficiency programs.
