Determination of Synthetic Recovery Cost for Historical Towns in Deficit of Information Conditions: An Experimental Model

This paper is the result of an activity of still being tested research. It aims to provide a tool for the synthetic estimate of recovery costs for historic buildings in the phase of planning of measures, to be used in situations where it is not possible to have the necessary information for the application of more sophisticated instruments. The estimation method proposed arises from the need to program the recovery plans for old towns, especially those which are abandoned. This will take on a particular importance in view of their considerable potential new functions aimed at the sustainable development of territories as they fall, constituting an important part of the cultural landscape that characterizes the Inner Areas: areas in which identity resources, such as historical buildings, still remain and are a tool that can also give an economic perspective for these territories.
