All’interno del sistema territoriale meridionale la Regione Campania si presenta come un polo importante nel settore del trasporto e dello smistamento delle merci. Questo ruolo si è venuto rinforzando in seguito alla realizzazione di infrastrutture dedicate alla logistica, connesse ad infrastrutture di supporto. Il sistema campano presenta punte di eccellenza di livello nazionale che possono incentivare il ruolo della Regione in questo settore, ma presenta anche fattori negativi che possono rallentare il decollo del settore. Si fa riferimento alle strozzature infrastrutturali e gestionali che ne inceppano l’efficienza, ma anche alla debolezza del sistema produttivo regionale che non garantisce una massa critica locale alla logistica campana. Un terzo aspetto è la mancanza di un chiaro disegno di programmazione degli investimenti e una maggiore chiarezza dei ruoli da assegnare alle diverse iniziative, nate soprattutto sulla base di spinte localistiche non coordinate. Il paper analizza la situazione della logistica territoriale in Campania e delle sue interrelazioni territoriali individuando punti di forza e di debolezza e potenziali fattori evolutivi. Gli aspetti della logistica che vengono affrontati sono di tipo territoriale e si differenziano da quelli della logistica urbana per la quantità di merci movimentate e per la concentrazione in pochi poli strategici, in quanto queste piattaforme logistiche richiedono attrezzature specializzate e ampi spazi per la movimentazione e il deposito. L’analisi del rapporto tra territorio e logistica individua quelli che sono i principali elementi di interconnessione e, spesso, di crisi, nell’uso dello spazio fisico, in ragione degli obiettivi a volte divergenti tra il governo del territorio ed i soggetti economici. Si passa successivamente ad analizzare lo stato del movimento merci in relazione alla portualità mediterranea e lo stato del sistema logistico campano (non ancora definito in tutte le sue parti) in relazione anche alla situazione economica e territoriale regionale. A questo scopo il paper approfondisce anche l’evoluzione della pianificazione territoriale in Campania, mettendo in evidenza come molte scelte, tra cui quelle connesse alla localizzazione degli impianti della logistica, siano avvenute al di fuori di strumenti di piano vigenti.

Abstract
Logistics can be defined as the process of planning, organization and control of all the activities of transport and storage of goods and informations; it interests all the productive phases, from the acquisition of raw materials, to the production process in the factories, up to the delivery of the finished products to the final customers. The specific trend of the production’s process due to the logistics involves the flows and the storage of goods, from raw materials to semi-finished goods to finished products, so they are available to consumers. In this way the logistics intersects the territory at different stages of its activity: when the raw materials are brought to the factory, when the factory sends to other factories semi-production units, where products are stored in equipped areas, and when the final goods are brought to terminal sales. Within the Southern territorial system the Campania is an important hub in the transport and sorting of goods. This role has made stronger after the carrying out of new infrastructures dedicated to the logistics, related to other support infrastructures, as railways and motorways. The regional system presents nationwide excellence’s peaks that could encourage its role in this sector, but there are also negative factors that may to slow the take-off of the sector. The reference is to the infrastructures and operating bottlenecks interfering the efficiency, but also to the weakness of the regional production’s system that doesn’t ensures a local critical mass to the logistics of the region. A third aspect is the lack of a clear structure of programming investment and greater clarity of roles assigned to various initiatives, arising mainly on local, uncoordinated pushes. The paper analyzes the situation of territorial logistics and of its spatial interrelationship in Campania, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and potential evolutionary factors.
