ABSTRACT
In Italy, the implementation of many infrastructures is stuck because of ongoing conflicts between political and administrative decision-makers, operators and users. Aware of the current situation, a recent Legislative Decree introduced the obligation of the Public Debate between the stakeholders in order to reduce the likelihood of infrastructure projects not being implemented due to the lack of necessary social consensus. Consensus-building activities require the use of valuation approaches that actively involve the community. To this end, the paper proposes an inclusive valuation technique aimed at the direct and conscious deliberation of individuals involved in an infrastructure project combining deliberative methods, based on community debates, with a social multi-dimensional evaluation.
