No full textThis Special Issue wants to outline the role of Geoheritage and Geotourism as potential touristic resources of a region. The term "Geoheritage" refers to a peculiar type of natural resources represented by sites of special geological significance, rarity or beauty that are representative of a region and of its geological history, events and processes. These sites are also known as "geosites" and, as well as archaeological, architectonic and historical ones, they can be considered as part of the cultural estate of a country. "Geotourism" is an emerging type of sustainable tourism, which concentrates on geosites, furnishing to visitors knowledge, environmental education and amusement. In this meaning, Geotourism may be very useful for geological Sciences divulgation and may furnish additional opportunities for the development of rural areas, generally not included among the main touristic attractions. The collected papers focused on these main topics with different methods and approaches and can be grouped as follows: (i) papers dealing with geosites promotion and valorisation in protected areas; (ii) papers dealing with geosites promotion and valorisation in non-protected areas; (iii) papers dealing with geosites promotion by exhibition, remote sensing analysis and apps; (iv) papers investigating geotourism and geoheritage from the tourists' perspective

No full textAlluvial events in Italy are a constant and continuous problem due to the peculiar orographic and climatic setting of the territory. Even though less frequent than in the Alps, debris-flows and floods greatly contributed also along the Southern Apennines to build alluvial fans, a widespread geomorphic unit located at the catchment mouth. These areas have been frequently chosen as sites for the urban development, as they were considered safer than the valleys, for the lower probability of being affected by floods. Due to the orographic position, the heavy rainfall events characterizing the study area can lead to flash floods with large debris loads. Such phenomena may be extremely risky for the population, and cause heavy damages. Starting from the consideration that past events can provide information on future events, we compiled a database on alluvial events in torrential catchments of Campania region, a highly prone area to such phenomena. By consulting different types of information sources we collected about 500 events. The database is being constantly updated, and contains temporal and spatial information for each event, since availability of these data is considered a mandatory step in order to perform a correct hazard and risk analysis
