Training of Crisis Mappers and Map Production from Multi-sensor Data: Vernazza Case Study (Cinque Terre National Park, Italy)

This aim of paper is to presents the development of a multidisciplinary project carried out by the cooperation between Politecnico di Torino and ITHACA (Information Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperation and Action). The goal of the project was the training in geospatial data acquiring and processing for students attending Architecture and Engineering Courses, in order to start up a team of "volunteer mappers". Indeed, the project is aimed to document the environmental and built heritage subject to disaster; the purpose is to improve the capabilities of the actors involved in the activities connected in geospatial data collection, integration and sharing. The proposed area for testing the training activities is the Cinque Terre National Park, registered in the World Heritage List since 1997. The area was affected by flood on the 25th of October 2011. According to other international experiences, the group is expected to be active after emergencies in order to upgrade maps, using data acquired by typical geomatic methods and techniques such as terrestrial and aerial Lidar, close-range and aerial photogrammetry, topographic and GNSS instruments etc.; or by non conventional systems and instruments such us UAV, mobile mapping etc. The ultimate goal is to implement a WebGIS platform to share all the data collected with local authorities and the Civil Protectio

Campus Communications Systems: Converging Technologies

This book is a rewrite of Campus Telecommunications Systems: Managing Change, a book that was written by ACUTA in 1995. In the past decade, our industry has experienced a thousand-fold increase in data rates as we migrated from 10 megabit links (10 million bits per second) to 10 gigabit links (10 billion bits per second), we have seen the National Telecommunications Policy completely revamped; we have seen the combination of voice, data, and video onto one network; and we have seen many of our service providers merge into larger corporations able to offer more diverse services. When this book was last written, A CUT A meant telecommunications, convergence was a mathematical term, triple play was a baseball term, and terms such as iPod, DoS, and QoS did not exist. This book is designed to be a communications primer to be used by new entrants into the field of communications in higher education and by veteran communications professionals who want additional information in areas other than their field of expertise. There are reference books and text books available on every topic discussed in this book if a more in-depth explanation is desired. Individual chapters were authored by communications professionals from various member campuses. This allowed the authors to share their years of experience (more years than many of us would care to admit to) with the community at large.

Territorial governance and climate adaptation. Towards an environmental perspective of urban regeneration

The literature, the scientific and disciplinary debate and the growing awareness on the part of national and international bodies of the impact of climate change on the territory (European Green Deal, 2019, Horizon Europe 2021-2027) have highlighted, in recent years, the need for climate-proof policies, strategies, tools and actions as a goal to be achieved through the updating and innovation of spatial government tools, according to an integrated and inter-scalar approach for the construction of urban regeneration strategies in coherence with the objectives of the European Strategy on adaptation to climate change (EU, 2021) and the addresses of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN, 2015) and the Climate Conference (COP26, 2021). This scenario is reflected in the most recent EU programming and policies and is, moreover, a transversal objective of the PNRR (Mission 5 Inclusion and Cohesion (Urban Regeneration and Social Housing), as well as of the PNR 2021/2027 (AT 2 Humanistic Culture, Creativity, Social Transformation, Inclusive Society in close correlation with AT 5 Climate and AT 6 Environment). In this context, the contribution presents some of the results of the research activities carried out by the authors that highlight, starting from the analysis of national and international planning experiences and best practices, the urgency of defining new perspectives and new theoretical-methodological and operational references for an innovative planning system, as a tool for a sustainable and resilient regeneration of contemporary cities and territories, at the supra-municipal, municipal and local scale, with significant impacts on mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change
