In a close future, in which cultural heritage will represent a path with historical value and will be studied by the aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological point of view, the urban rehabilitation will appear as a commitment between the past and the present (future) and the sustainable, inclusive and intelligent development. Linking all these elements with all of different characteristics, from an objective point of view, the investigation will not seek miraculous solutions to old difficulties of spatial planning or rapid resolution of emerging problems, because more than expanding the generalist field of knowledge or giving a new academic precision to an empirical approach, the research aims to deepen scientific knowledge about the fishing settlements located on the border line provided by the sea line, and about the rural settlements delimited by the plow wake that once furrowed the land, with resilient particularities achieved in an unique and shared ambience because we will support the investigation in this “living-lab” and reply this research as a model on similar large-scale environments on Earth.
