Progetto realizzato in Qgis collegato ad un database geografico con Sistema di riferimento è WGS84UTM 33N in formato Geopackge per organizzare e gestire i dati di uno studio sulle Faglie attive e capaci (FAC). Il progetto consente l'inserimento dei dati attraverso l'uso di form con gli elementi descrittivi già codificati parzialmente secondo gli St...
The quantitative assessment of the stratigraphic amplification of seismic motion at the site is an essential element for seismic risk reduction and mitigation. The distribution of amplification factors (AFs) over the territory is represented in Seismic Microzonation Maps as foreseen by Level (or Grade) 2 of Seismic Microzonation (SM) according to G...
Con questo volume, che fa parte della collana BookMS Manuali (download dal sito www. centromicrozonazionesismica.it), intendiamo raccogliere, organizzare e mettere in condivisione i principali elementi e insegnamentitratti dall'intensa attività svolta in questi ultimi due anni. In particolare, sono riportate indicazioni utili alle attività di racco...
Seismic Microzonation (SM) studies require in-depth knowledge of the subsoil
and of the geological, geotechnical and geophysical characteristics of the study area, andthis data is often managed and analysed through geographic information systems (GIS) to identify map zones, particularly in urban areas, with homogeneous seismic behaviour during a se...
QGIS TOOL FOR GEOLOGY FROM POINTS AND LINES
Python script for QGIS 3.x to generate the Geological Units from the drawing of the geological boundaries with the points containing the geological information inside (ID code of the Geological Units)
A first-order seismic characterization of Northern Apulia (Southern Italy) has been provided by considering geological information and outcomes of a low-cost geophysical survey. In particular, 403 single-station ambient vibration measurements (HVSR techniques) distributed within the main settlements of the area have been considered to extract repre...
On August 21, 2017, the volcanic island of Ischia was struck by a Mw 3.9 (http://cnt.rm.ingv.it/event/16796811) earthquake which caused two victims and heavy damages on wide portions of the Casamicciola Terme, Lacco Ameno and Forio municipalities. Following the Decree 1/2018 of the Government Commission for the reconstruction of damaged areas of Is...
MzSTools is a plugin for QGIS developed by the National Research Council (CNR) as part of the activities concerning the coordination of seismic microzonation studies in Italy. It train from the need to create a practical and easy-to-use tool to carry out seismic microzonation (SM) studies by producing standards compliant geographic database and map...
This geological map of the Majella Mountain, at 1:25.000 scale, is the result of research that started in the ‘80s as field-based learning and training in structural analysis and stratigraphy/sedimentology for graduate students on the Regional Geology and Stratigraphy courses, led respectively by Paolo Scandone and Etta Patacca at the University of...
The Italian Department of Civil Protection has published the "Standards for representation and computer archiving for seismic microzonation" with the aim of homogenizing the geological-technical and geophysical information used for the production of seismic microzonation maps in Italy. The technical and documentary data collected by the municipal a...

The plugin allows the creation of the database and the cartographic representation of the Italian seismic microzonation studies for levels 1, 2 and 3 according to the standards of representation and computer archiving version 4.1 (Technical commission for seismic microzonation - art. 5 paragraph 7, OPCM 13 nov. 2010, n. 3907).
A 1:5,000 scale geological map and 31 geological cross-sections are presented for the surroundings of Amatrice village (central Apennines, Italy), epicentral area of the first damaging earthquake of the 2016–2017 seismic sequence. This detailed geological dataset focuses on: (i) the extent, the thickness, and the internal stratigraphic architecture...
After the strong earthquakes that hit central Italy in recent months, the Center for Seismic Microzonation and its applications (CentroMS) of CNR was designated by the Italian Department of Civil Protection to conduct the study of seismic microzonation of the territories affected by the earthquake of August 24, 2016. As part of the activities of mi...
The seismic microzonation evaluate the seismic hazard at the local scale proposing to identify areas of territory characterized by homogeneous seismic behaviors. The first level of seismic microzoning has the purpose of defining the lithological properties and geometry of geological units that characterize these portions of territory (microzones)....

Il progetto per creare le librerie dei simboli per QGIS nasce in seguito alle richieste da parte degli addetti ai lavori che usano il software Open Source QGIS.
La struttura dei simboli riflette quella contenuta negli Standard di Rappresentazione ed archiviazione informatica versione 3.0 realizzata per gli utenti ESRI. In questa operazione è stata...
La microzonazione sismica consiste nella valutazione della pericolosità sismica a scala locale e propone di
individuare porzioni di territorio caratterizzate da comportamenti sismici omogenei. Il livello 1 di microzonazione
sismica ha l’obbiettivo di definire le caratteristiche litologiche e geometriche delle unità geologiche che caratterizzano tal...
Il tool descritto nell'articolo è scaricabile e funzionante, basta aprire la finestra di Catalog in ArcMap.
Quando si lancia il modello vengono eseguite le seguenti operazioni:
• Il tool Topo to Raster converte le curve di livello ed i punti quotati vettoriali nel modello Digitale del Terreno (DEM) in formato File GeoDatabase Raster Dataset;
• Il tool Slope genera la analisi spaziale della pendenza espressa in gradi nel formato File GeoDatabase Raster Da...
The scope of this work is to contribute to the creation of a methodology for processing topographical, geological, geophysical and geo-technical data aimed at level 1 seismic microzonation map drafting, through the use of open source tools.
The Graphical Modeler tool integrated in the latest version of QGIS (2.8.1 as of writing) has been used for t...
Parole chiave: rischio sismico; microzonazione sismica; pianificazione del territorio ABSTRACT L'osservazione dei danni provocati da un terremoto è spesso differente nello stesso centro abitato. La causa va ricercata, oltre che nella diversa qualità e tipologia delle strutture abitative, in una differente pericolosità sismica del territorio a scala...
The strong earthquake of the 6th April 2009 that recently struck L’Aquila area has increased the necessity of new studies for seismic risk reduction.
At this regard in 2010 the Puglia Regional Basin Authority and CNR Institute of Environmental Geology and Geo-engineering started “Project on first level seismic microzonation of 61 municipalities in...
The observation of the damage caused by an earthquake often shows substantial differences in residential areas also at small distance. These effects is often caused in the different local seismic hazard (LSH). Seismic microzonation studies are aimed to map the LSH by the identification of the following characteristics of the territory: stable zones...
The evidences of damages in urban areas due to earthquake shaking points out that significant differences can occur also within small distances. If similar vulnerability conditions can be assumed, this effect can be mainly related to the local seismic response (LSR). In a first stage of seismic microzonation studies is requested to map microzones (...
La microzonazione è da intendere come strumento di supporto alla pianificazione del territorio e alle
misure di prevenzione del territorio per interventi di emergenza, di recupero e ricostruzione. In tale ottica,
la microzonazione si configura come strumento di riduzione del rischio sismico.
L’osservazione dei danni provocati da un terremoto spesso...
Some depositional and non-depositional events controlled by tectonic and eusthatic processes have been recognized analbzing many sequences outcropping in the central area of the Latium-Abruzzi carbonate platform.
