Several disciplines intended to support policymaking have emerged in economics, statistics, geography, and sociology, taking advantage of data digitization, big data, advances in national accounts, and econometric and statistical approaches and techniques. Sustainability research at the local scale is becoming a primary objective in the integration and corroboration of available information. This book links quantitative analyses of sustainable development paths with a narrative approach, identifying and commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of the recent literature for planning sustainable and resilient territories, and exploring case studies from a vast range of theoretical and practical research dimensions. By discussing the role of permanent socio-environmental monitoring to inform policies for sustainable land management, this collective endeavour documents the importance of planning practices and political actions targeting global change from a sustainable and resilient perspective. The book provides relevant recommendations to policymakers and scholars of advanced nations to understand the complex local system in more depth and implement development policies.
