Nel nostro Paese il settore sociale è stato tradizionalmente caratterizzato da un’elevata frammentazione e da un fitto intreccio di relazioni. Dal punto di vista economico-aziendale la legge 328/2000 invita gli enti locali a prendere coscienza delle interdipendenze che esistono e propone il Piano di zona (PdZ) come documento per la realizzazione di un sistema integrato di interventi e di servizi. L’obiettivo della presente analisi consiste nel verificare, utilizzando come lente concettuale la letteratura sui network, se nei distretti socio-sanitari della Regione Lombardia, a seguito dell’applicazione della legge 328/2000, è aumentata l’efficacia dei network sociali. Dai primi risultati si possono evidenziare dei segnali positivi in merito alla capacità del PdZ di rafforzare la logica di network.
In Italy the social sector is characterized by a high level of fragmentation and by a large weave of relationships. From a managerial point of view, the National Law 328 published in 2000 encoura-ges the local authorities to recognize the existing connections between the different actors involved in planning and providing social services and suggests the “Local Area Plan” as a strategic tool to realize an integrated system of social services. The present analysis aims at investigating, through the perspective of network literature, if the application of the law 328/2000 has strengthened the effectiveness of social services networks. Preliminary results show the capacity of “Local Area Plan” to strengthen the effectiveness of social services networks.
