Sagama, a Planargia village inland from Bosa

Sagama is one of the small municipalities of the Planargia, the hilly district of the province of Oristano, on Sardinia's west side, whose main town is Bosa on the coast. The village lies at around 350 metres on an upland of pasture, fields and dry-stone walls, with the sea not far away.

Sagama's population is slightly younger than the provincial average: the estimated average age is 46.6, against 49.8 in the province of Oristano. In 2023 there were 188 residents, down 2.6% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, and households average 2.32 people. Over-65s make up 29.8% and foreign residents 3.7%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Houses in the village are masonry, often local stone rendered over, with inner courtyards and outbuildings. In an old house, look at the roof, damp in the walls and the utilities, and check that any extensions are properly authorised. Climate zone C means mild winters, so insulation here is just as useful against summer heat. For secondary schools, healthcare and shops people go to the larger towns in the area.

All 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest class in the Civil Protection classification, and in Sagama expected ground acceleration is about 0.050 g. Earthquakes are therefore not the main concern.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality: the report goes from the address to the land parcel and checks the official landslide and flood maps for that plot, including along the streams running down towards the coast.

Overview

Sagama is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 188 residents, among the smallest in the province (80 of 87).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Sagama is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.6%. The estimated average age is 47 years, lower than the province average (50). 30% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 3.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 1 inhabited census areas in Sagama. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
