La percezione del rischio da parte della popolazione e un‘efficace comunicazione del rischio tra i vari soggetti coinvolti
sono importanti capisaldi della gestione dei pericoli naturali. Attualmente, ad esempio, il Piano delle zone di pericolo
viene utilizzato a fini di pianificazione territoriale, ma non é
ancora valorizzato a sufficienza per gli...
Die Risikowahrnehmung in der Bevölkerung und eine effiziente Risikokommunikation zwischen den verschiedenen
Akteuren sind wichtige Pfeiler im Umgang mit Naturgefahren.
Allerdings wird etwa der Gefahrenzonenplan als raumplanerisches Planungsinstrument noch zu wenig für Zwecke der Risikokommunikation genutzt und in Wert gesetzt.
Das Projekt RiKoST –...
In small towns, rural landscape historically has been closely linked to its urban dimension in shaping relationships, local history, local identities and senses of belonging. Furthermore, landscape can be fully considered as heritage, to the extent to which it refers to the tangible and intangible heritage of rural areas. Nonetheless, rural landsca...
This chapter presents experiences and results from the INTERREG Italy-Austria Project RiKoST-Risk communication strategies. The project is a collaboration between partners from research and public authorities and aims at improving target-group-oriented risk communication in South Tyrol (Italy) and Carinthia (Austria). Risk communication plays an es...
Mountains are highly sensitive to climate change. Their elevated areas provide essential ecosystem services both for the surrounding mountainous regions and particularly for adjacent lowlands. Impacts of a warmer climate affect these services and have negative consequences on the supply of water, on biodiversity and on protection from natural hazar...
This was the case of a six-year project called Rural Sustainable Drainage System (RSUDS), led since 2014 by the local government of Stroud, a village in South West England. Following the 2007 major floods occurred in England, four action groups were formed in the study site to demand for further flood risk mitigation measures. The different actors...
A special section on the most relevant issues about risk governance and an outline of the current main risk and disaster researchers in Italy.
Includere i saperi locali nella gestione del rischio alluvionale: l'esempio del natural flood management
Following severe flooding in 2007 a decision was taken in 2012 to explore nature‐based solutions in 250km2 river catchment in the southern Cotswolds in the UK. The project involves working with landowners to create in channel, riparian, field and woodland structures aimed at attenuating high flows or increasing infiltration rates to reduce flood ri...
Evaluation of social vulnerability (SV) against natural hazards remains a big challenge for disaster risk reduction. Spatiotemporal analysis of SV is important for successful implementation of prevision and prevention measures for risk mitigation. This study examined the spatiotemporal pattern of SV in Italy, and also analyzed socioeconomic factors...
The rise of social media use in crisis contexts should be handled as a relevant issue in risk communication policies within a broader disaster governance framework at multiple levels. Comparing how microblogging works before, during and immediately after two major floods in Italy, this chapter aims to reflect on recent disaster governance starting...
Di cosa si parla quando si parla di rischio in Italia? Note a margine sul nuovo Rapporto sullo stato del rischio nel territorio italiano 2017.
This session aims to investigate the complexity of risk governance, focusing both on Italy -where the topic is still underexplored with limited impacts on places and on the scientific and public debate- and on international
case studies. Although the session falls within geographical sciences, long missing into the risk governance debate, analysing...
Gestire un terremoto in Italia: breve prontuario d’emergenza sismica
This article aims to provide a framework to build a spatial assessment about the interaction between social vulnerability indicators and the 2012 Emilia earthquake. Using Mirandola as case study, five social vulnerability indicators were selected, mapped and spatially correlated to a building damage index calculated using geo-referenced information...
Although Italy is ranked as one of the five European Countries with a high probability of being exposed to a natural hazard, 75 % of Italian housing stock does not meet any anti-seismic criteria. In addition to this already fragile scenario, the fact that Italy is one of the countries characterised by a rich cultural heritage opens new issues regar...
As highlighted in disaster research, an earthquake can “act” as an accelerator of processes at different levels: the factors might be already present in the social system but their “being there” can be amplified or even revealed by the “faults” apparently activated by the triggering agent. The evaluation of the interaction between social vulnerabil...
It's the first Italian collective volume of ethnographies of disasters and I wrote a chapter about post-seismic folklore in L’Aquila aftermath, starting from a paper presented at Ethnography and Qualitative Research 2014
"Cos'è il disastro e cosa significa tornare alla normalità? Lo Stato è un alleato dei cittadini quando si tratta di ricostruire,...
Can you predict and "communicate" an earthquake? How can we face seismic risk in Italy nowadays? Which role do scientific and academic communities have in seismic risk reduction by developing information tools and structural and non-structural measures? Starting from these questions, this book suggests possible scientific and cultural "mediations",...
It’s a collection of articles that aims to create a dialogue among different human sciences about the consequences of the earthquake that hit the region of L’Aquila in 2009.
Sismografie. Ritornare a L’Aquila mille giorni dopo il sisma è una pubblicazione nata dalla collaborazione del blog Lavoro Culturale (www.lavoroculturale.org) con la casa edit...

Pericoli naturali in montagna:
gestione del rischio e responsabilità
Il piacere della natura e la possibilità di praticare una grande varietà di attività sportive attirano sempre più persone in montagna. Sebbene sia questa una tendenza più che positiva, ad essa si accompagna pure un aumento degli incidenti in montagna. A questi fanno spesso seguito complesse questioni di responsabilità penale, da un lato dovute all’imprevedibilità insita nella natura, dall’altro alla predisposizione dell’uomo a sopravvalutare le proprie capacità di dominio e controllo di situazioni di rischio.
Il progetto di ricerca “Pericoli naturali in montagna: gestione del rischio e responsabilità” è dedicato a tale complesso intreccio di questioni e si propone di avvicinare natura e diritto attraverso una ricerca interdisciplinare ed empirica.
The complex water-energy-food nexus is poorly understood, and ecosystems are often not considered as an integral part of the system. In addition, policies for each sector are often developed in isolation, with insufficient consideration of the impact on the WEFE nexus. This poses a challenge that stakeholders, policy makers and academics engaged in NEXOGENESIS will help address by developing and validating a coherent cross-sectoral policy-making framework that addresses climate and socioeconomic change, as well as stakeholder behaviour and transboundary issues.
Using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, the consortium partners will develop a Self-Learning Nexus Assessment Engine that will support the streamlining of water-related policies into the WEFE nexus. The engine will enable users to quickly and comprehensively explore potential impacts of nexus-related policies in different plausible climate and socioeconomic future scenarios to help them develop optimal policies. A Nexus Footprint indicator monitoring the status of nexus components will track progress of policy objectives.
“With four case studies in Europe and one in southern Africa, strong stakeholder engagement and output validation, NEXOGENESIS is expected to contribute enhanced cooperation, improved policy making processes and better policies,” said project leader Janez Susnik, IHE Delft Senior Lecturer in Water Resources Management. “The project also aims to help the EU achieve targets related to the Water Framework Directive, a greener common agricultural policy and Green Deal and water diplomacy ambitions.”
