In order to gather a sample of intermediate redshifts (z ≃ 0.1 ÷ 0.2) clusters avoiding evolutionary effects or biases induced by limited sensitivity of instruments and optical plates that affect samples selected through inspection of optical plates, color diagrams or X-ray emission properties, we plan to use radio galaxies as suitable tracers of dense environments (e.g. Allington-Smith et al., 1993). This would allow us to effectively test different environments and population properties, and would also give valuable information on the effect of environment on the radioemission phenomena. Moreover, it would not impact on the X–ray or optical properties of clusters, since there is no significant correlation between the radio properties of galaxies within a cluster with its LX (Feigelson, Maccacaro and Zamorani, 1982), or with richness of the cluster (Zhao, Burns, and Owen, 1989).
