Abstract
The Territorial Intelligence must involvement of local actors by means of guidelines for territorial development is crucial. The territorial planning must take on board the civil society in this process. The territory constitutes the space where action can be taken to implement development projects and to strike a balance among economic, social, cultural and scientific objectives. The transformation of a local system and its future prospects have to consider local specificities and local system identity, that permits to perceive community problems and find helpful solution possibilities. Identity anyway, have to look at and consider the external world if it doesn’t want to fall down in parochialism. All these factors are crucial to detect a development pattern rooted in territory, so that they are not only the result of external decisional processes in which the community has a purely passive role.
