With the Regional Law of 6 July 2011, the Regional Council of Apulia (Italy) establishes the institution of the ecomuseums in the same region. The objectives are to promote and regulate ecomuseums in order to recover and improve historical memory, life, tangible and intangible culture, relationships between the environment, natural and artificial traditions, activities and landscape and regional traditions. The contribution presents the analysis of the ecomuseums of the Italian coastal region (contents of projects, actors, objectives, actions, tools, etc.). It investigates how they are contributing to the promotion of cultural heritage and to the local and social dimension. After presenting the methodology, the essay presents a balance of the tools and methods of knowledge and valorization of the heritage in relation to local and sustainable development.

Keywords : Ecomuseums; Apulia (Italy); Sustainable Local Development; Community Map.
