The One Health Approach for the Revitalisation of Vulnerable Territories

The One Health perspective promotes the interdependencies between the wellbeing of humans, animals, and ecosystems. This study explores One Health as a strategic lever for restoring the liveability of marginal and vulnerable territories, focusing on the Marche municipalities within the Monti Sibillini National Park. These areas, situated in the 20162017 seismic "crater", demonstrate how disasters exacerbate preexisting vulnerabilities and historical marginalisation. Using a longitudinal and transdisciplinary methodology, the research analyses territorial, sociodemographic, and economic data comparing 2015, 2020, and 2025. Through a SWOT analysis, the paper identifies opportunities within favourable frameworks like the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and the Marche Organic District. The study concludes that recovery must transcend material reconstruction to become a transformative "process of care" that integrates ecosystem health with socioeconomic sustainability.
