Abstract

The increasing landscape urbanization, through goods and services production, as required by peopleneeds, is often cause of environmental decay producing a sharp decrease in quality life for residentpopulation.This paper aims to study some negative environmental feedbacks and the increase of geomorpho-logical hazards in the coastal area, roughly urbanized, of Bivona country (Vibo Valentia, Calabria,Southern Italy). The analysis shows how the wrong and chaotic urban development, without anyappropriate town planning scheme, has produced growing conditions of environmental decay with time.Consequently, it has been detected a decrease of prices in market estate commonly used as a marker ofHuman Quality Life. For this purpose, it has been applied the Hedonic model able to supply useful in-formation about the gained or the reduced values of building industry caused by the improvement or bythe worsening of environmental health conditions. The results highlight, with quantitative data, how thesustainable development of landscape must be realized through goods and services productionrespecting the environmental limits, in order to avoid negative territorial feedbacks able to decreaseHuman Quality Life. It has also been proposed a graphical representation about the trend of HumanQuality Life in function of goods and services production.
