Project Description
The restructuring of the port of Favignana it is essential for various reasons of programmatic and technical, widely shared by the population and the competent authorities.
The port current results in considerable inconvenience for users, while preventing a harmonious development of the island’s economy, which in view of the tendency to stagnation and reduction in the activities related to fishing, can only focus on tourism, the type most qualified possible. It will come as an economic development tied directly to the port through its management, via the increase in hotel, restaurant, etc..
The study of works of adaptation and integration necessary was carried out in accordance with the general technical guidance, typical of any modern port, and those which arise from specific local needs. It cites the maintenance of the beach which is internal to the local population of a thing of the past which is considered vital conservation. In addition to nautical needs were met those urban-architecture, of particular importance in this case.
For the examination of the state of affairs and prospects of development of the port We used the so-called SWOT analysis stands for Anglo-Saxon origin that includes the initials of the words “strengths”, “weakness”, “opportunities” (development opportunities), “threats” (the dangers of recession).
The analysis made it possible to give logical considerations that may be developed in relation to the port (actually to all works of engineering or architecture).
The effort of synthesis that takes place for the analysis to arrive immediately in the drafting of the so-called “guidelines” which are required for developing the project.
