T38. Urban developments and natural risks

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Human beings have strongly influenced the morphology of territories, leaving their indelible mark and often creating the conditions for severe disruptions and exposure to conditions of high vulnerability. The landscapes have changed over the years, sometimes distorted, and substantial modifications such as overbuilding and diversions of water courses, constructions on poor-quality materials, abandonment of terraces, etc., have increased the risks for the population following phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or floods. In this multidisciplinary session, we would like to collect contributions and insights to reflect on the relationship between human beings and the environment, the culture of prevention and protection of the territory, and how to make citizens more aware of the correct land use.

CONVENERS: Giovanna Piangiamore (INGV), Maria Grazia Ciaccio (INGV), Gaia Soldati (INGV), Stefano Solarino (INGV), Alessandra Maramai (INGV).
