Land Use and Infrastructure Analysis

When looking at the infrastructural connection in Santo Stefano al Mare, while the horizontal connection works really well, the vertical infrastructure of the area, a lot of connections are lacking. A problem with these missing connections, here referred to as ‘missing links’, is for instance that in case of emergencies areas are not fast enough reachable or that it is unsafe for people to move across the area even just for exploring. From this, a map has been created in order to collect the interesting areas for tourists for example open green spaces, squares, stores, public beaches, viewing points etc.

When looking at the missing links within the area, the problems can be divided into different categories. Some problems are due to the lack of vertical connections, order to restore the vertical connection of the area. Every connection that will be restored will have a different impact on improving the area. This can for instance base their connections on combining the matrix with these interesting places for the people using the vertical connection.
