This paper discusses the results of the “SavingScapes” research project that examined the role and relevance of civil society in landscape and heritage conservation, comparing Girona in Spain and Genoa in Italy. These two sub-regional areas are both on the Western Mediterranean coast. Tourism and international trade are the main drivers of development. Landscape is an important asset. In both areas, strong and constant transformative pressures and deeply rooted place attachment clash in the form of environmental protest movements or ‘social mobilizations’. Nevertheless, there are significant differences in the approaches and results of these mobilizations in the two areas. In order to assess the impact of these mobilizations on local planning and projects, the study has developed an outcome-based taxonomy with seven different categories, ranging from defeat (= no relevant impacts occurred) to sustainable plan/policy prefiguration (= cases in which mobilizations have led to the emergence of an alternative project). This taxonomy has then been applied to seven territorial conflicts in both case studies. Research shows that the impact of mobilizations may not be immediately significant in either region (always taking into account the differences between them). However, these movements have led to the development of novel approaches of dealing with the changing context and have emerged as co-partners in the process of constructing social and local identity.

本文讨论了“SavingScapes”研究项目的结果，该项目研究了民间社会在景观和遗产保护中的作用和相关性，并对西班牙赫罗纳和意大利热那亚进行了比较。这两个次区域均位于地中海西岸。旅游业和国际贸易是发展的主要动力。景观是一项重要的资产。在这两个领域，强大而持续的变革压力和根深蒂固的地方依恋以环境抗议运动或“社会动员”的形式发生冲突。然而，这两个领域的动员方式和结果存在显着差异。为了评估这些动员对地方规划和项目的影响，该研究开发了一种基于结果的分类法，有七个不同的类别，从失败（=没有发生相关影响）到可持续的计划/政策预想（=其中的案例）动员导致了替代项目的出现）。然后，该分类法已应用于两个案例研究中的七个领土冲突。研究表明，动员的影响可能不会立即在这两个地区产生重大影响（始终考虑到它们之间的差异）。然而，这些运动导致了处理不断变化的环境的新方法的发展，并在构建社会和地方身份的过程中成为了合作伙伴。
