No full textThe Vesuvio National Park, established in June 1995, is the green area closest to Napoli megacity, which suffers the absence of urban green spaces, and could hence offer to citizens the opportunity to enjoy healthy places in a peculiar environment as the landscape of an active volcano. We here propose two trails with several stops, named the Ancient Railway Track and the Valle dell'Inferno. They start from San Sebastiano al Vesuvio and Ottaviano towns, located on two opposite sides of northern Somma-Vesuvio area, and are both directed towards the Vesuvio crater. Along the trails the visitors can enjoy several volcanic forms and products (the Somma caldera rim, dykes, lava domes, ropy lava flows, pyroclastic fall deposits) together with historical remains, as the Cook Railway track, and the typical botanic association, the Mediterranean bush. The stops were illustrated with panels describing in detail both geological and landscape features with pictures and simple text boxes, clear and engaging for a wide
set of excursionists of different age and cultural background. The quality of the two trails was assessed through a quantitative evaluation of the single stops considering the different typologies of expected visitors. The project of promotion and fruition of green spaces in an active volcanic area here proposed contributes to encourage healthy living and raise well-being and could represent one of the means to achieve a better level of resilience for a society exposed to high volcanic risk
PDC-BuilD framework: Assessing building damage probability for pyroclastic currents of a small-size explosive eruption at Campi Flegrei (Southern Italy)
No full textA methodology for the evaluation of damage that the buildings exposed to pyroclastic currents from a possible small-size eruption at Campi Flegrei could suffer is proposed. It was implemented in a structured GIS framework named BuilD (Building Damage) that integrates spatial and no-spatial data and allows to quantify and map the differences in building composition of censual districts and the damage they could undergo. BuilD uses the fragility curves to assess the damage at censual district scale and requires as input data the building features (ISTAT data and Google Earth images) and the dynamic pressure exerted by Pyroclastic Density Currents. 16 maps of percentage probability of exceeding a damage threshold resulting from 4 increasing damage levels by an eruption occurring at 4 hypothetical volcanic vents were drawn. In the single map, five classes (from high to very low) depict the spatial distribution of potential harms that the built environment could suffer. The methodology is implemented for the knowledge of the current status of the built environment; it can be easily managed also by non-technical stakeholders, exported in areas with similar requirements and profitably used for other hazards. The BuilD frame is scalable to larger areas at risk, keeping the censual districts, available for the whole European territory, as the minimum territorial reference units, useful for comparisons of building damages at regional scale. The produced maps can be used for addressing available funds to ameliorate the structural features of the buildings and to support local authorities in better land management and land use
Territorial evolution and volcanic hazard at Ischia island (Southern Italy).
No full textThe Ischia Island, located in the north-western zone of Napoli bay (Southern Italy), is exposed to many natural events that represent sources of risk for both the tourists visiting the island all over the year and the local inhabitants. In this paper, we take advantage of spatial and temporal analysis available in a Geographic Information System framework in order to compare the spatial distribution of volcanic hazard zones to the temporal evolution of population and urban development over the last 80 years. The volcanic hazard map refers to pyroclastic flows from low to intermediate size explosive events, that could affect the Ischia Island in the next future. The main result of the study centered on the finding that the territorial system development was not sensitive to volcanic hazard as testified by the expansion of urbanized areas within the medium-high hazard zones. The seriousness of the present territorial system status indicates an urgent need for planning aimed at a proper cohabitation of the inhabitants with the hazardous events and at the achievement of acceptable safeness levels.
The map presented here gives a synoptic view of the territorial system evolution related to volcanic hazard and it can therefore be considered a valuable tool to support a sustainable territorial planning. The urban development data can be suitably used to assess their relationship with other natural events which could affect the island
