Derelict mining districts represent anthropogenically influenced landscapes that are often characterized by important geological, ecological, environmental, industrial, cultural, and archeological values. Nevertheless, after mining activities cease, several environmental problems are left behind, associated with soil and water pollution, hydrogeolo...
Il presente lavoro riguarda la definizione e sperimentazione di una metodologia per delimitare la reale estensione dei terrazzamenti agricoli nel territorio ligure, un dato essenziale per qualsiasi scelta gestionale ed operativa volta a contrastarne l’abbandono, spesso causa di rischio geomorfologico. La cartografia ufficiale sul tema riporta ad og...
Terraces, distinctive feature of agriculture in the Liguria Region, are valuable historical
and cultural assets, which, if not properly maintained, may represent a hydrogeological risk factor.
To handle the abandonment of terraces means acting to secure the territory, but they recovery is
subordinate to the economic sustainability of the interventi...
Terraced systems mapping is essential to understand hazards and opportunities of such territories and, as a consequence, to define strategies and actions for their management. Existing documentation, generally based on photo-interpretation is often incomplete or unreliable, as it heavily underestimates abandoned terraces covered by vegetation. Anyw...

Mining activity in Liguria had a paramount importance from Prehistoric Age of the twentieth century. More than 50 mining sites are present in the four Provinces. The ligurian mining history has left an indelible imprint on the landscape either for the numerous open-air and underground mining infrastructures and for the significant evidences left by...
Waste rocks dumps are chemically heterogeneous deposits piled up during mining exploitation over tens of years. They contain non-mineralized rocks and low-grade mineralization and are typically characterized by significant vertical and lateral heterogeneities in grain size, lithology, mineralogy and chemistry. Waste rock dumps are often sites of en...
In this work we present the results of different surveys, census and mapping activities performed with open source GIS software to evaluate the environmental impact of the mining activities that were active from 1877 to 1935 within the basin of the Petronio Creek (eastern Liguria, Italy).
Seven abandoned polimetallic sulfide mines occur within an a...

TheMediterranean area plays a pivotal role within the definition and implementation of
regional strategies for integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). Under the umbrella
of the Regional Framework Operation BeachMed-e, a research project was carried
out in five Mediterranean EU regions (East Macedonia and Thrace in Greece, Lazio,
Liguria, and Emi...
The Mediterranean area plays a pivotal role within the definition of regional strategies for ICZM. Under the umbrella of the Regional Framework Operation BeachMed-e a research project was carried out in five Mediterranean EU regions (East Macedonia and Thrace in Greece, Lazio, Liguria and Emilia Romagna in Italy and Languedoc-Roussillon in France),...
This paper is meant as introducing A Regional Seas Dossier by giving a view of how the data bank, which the Dossier was based on, was designed and operated. The breakdown on the regional sea management is concerns 149 States of the existing 156 independent States, and 45 no sovereign territories. It is based on a spectrum of national data, includin...
The Portofino promontory extends for 13km along the northwestern Italian coast. This peninsula has a rough coastline, steep seabed, and high indices of biodiversity, both in its terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In 1935, a terrestrial protected area was established, preventing the intense urban development and mass tourism that characterises nearb...
