Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to give a different perspective on the evaluation of land and goods of common property. These commons are rather frequent in many nations and characterize most of the mountain and upland territories. Biological and cultural diversity in the common property has been generated by adaptation and by exploitation, namely, traditional forest use permitted the expansion of natural diversity (CIPRA, 2008). This diversity is, nowadays, to be considered as a sort of capital from environmental, economic and social perspectives. It leads to an extremely relevant role of social-ecological systems: biodiversity - in fact - has to be considered as a part of the cultural context (UNESCO, 2005).
