Every territory is characterized by its own scheme of endougenus function that depends on history, cultural and social phenomenon, geomorphologic asset of territory, combination of sub-jective and objective factors. Then, a model of analyses that considers the plural dimension of terri-tory must measures not only economic variables but also those social and cultural ones that put in evidence the territorial and structural differences. This paper comes from a series of reflections based on this statement, and in a specific way on the social phenomenon that in the last years is growig more and more: the emigration of new gen-erations in a territory which the population is mainly composed of old people. The following pages want to show and, where it is possible, to interpreter the reality of little ter-ritories, (like in the case of Laviano Area), that want to stop the migration of new generations from territory and encourage several actions that tend to an integrated and sustainable development which permit the "territories survive" without repudiate theirs "vocation" and "cultural heritage".
