Identity of rural landscape. Traditional constructions and hydraulic works in Cilento.

The configuration of the rural landscape of the Cilento area reflects the state of crisis in agriculture in the industrialized countries which is, in these years, to face the negative phase derived from the growing increase in labour costs and declining consumer prices, and the introduction of products imported from developing countries. To meet this contingency there is a tendency to widespread outsourcing and the industrialization of agriculture that led to an upheaval in many parts of the traditional aspect of the agricultural landscape. The natural configuration of the land has been shaped by man for thousands of years with moderate or, sometimes, complex works of adaptation. Was fulfilled, thus, a balanced process of composition of the functional aspects that returned an harmonic configuration of the territory. The specialized production that is related to criteria for company management and forced by the market logic, the tendency to shorter rotations of crop plants, the increase in the average size of the plots worked, necessarily require a production efficiency through mechanization and a different logistic for the plants. In addition, the plant of greenhouses and protected crops in general, the replacement of the surface drainage network with underground systems, the water collection tanks for irrigation and all the appropriate facilities to new cropping systems specialist, as well as having changed the functional structure of the territory, assume great importance and impact in the usual scenarios. The exploitation of water resources in rural purposes is one of the most ancient activities, the management of water resources has always been a work of vital importance for the survival and development of rural life, by developing and by perfecting techniques it has left a sign in the way of raising, in the type of crops and in the organization of rural settlements. In order to envisage the monitoring tools to effect a rehabilitation of degraded agricultural landscape, we assume an integrated view of environmental protection, planning and enhancement of the landscape that is geared towards a specialized ownership of the territory, closer to the recognition of the natural elements and of all phenomena, generated by the interaction between man and environment, which are why the current configuration
