    An agent-based model of greening a city for reducing pluvial flooding at a cultural heritage site

    We present an agent-based model which explores the impact of green- ing a city for pluvial flood risk reduction, to inform planning decisions in cities. In particular we focus on the location of an archaeological site lying 2 meters below ground level in the city centre of Ravenna, Italy, which is subject to pluvial flooding. A map of Ravenna was divided into cells which could be eligible for modelled greening if they contained a car park, a street or a pedestrianised area. The number and location of cells greened varied with each run of the model. This was combined with precipitation and temperature data from Ravenna, and subse- quently estimated scores for evapotranspiration and permeability. In general, the greater number of greening measures introduced corresponded to a reduced vol- ume of excess rainwater. There was a particular effectiveness of greened streets at reducing excess runoff compared to car parks and pedestrian areas. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of ABM in the field of disaster risk management

    THE COMPLEX OF SANTA CROCE IN RAVENNA AS A CASE STUDY: INTEGRATION OF 3D TECHNIQUES FOR SURVEYING AND MONITORING OF A HISTORICAL SITE

    Get PDF
    Over the last decades, climate change has brought more and more challenges to managers of cultural heritage and researchers. The increasing effects of natural hazards on assets have required the development of a new protocol of techniques and methodologies for the monitoring of Cultural Heritage and the adoption of management plans adapted to the new challenges at every stage of risk management. The work here presented aims at providing an insight of the work undertaken under the framework of the H2020 SHELTER project, to showcase the first steps of the multi-disciplinary research conducted in one of the project’s case studies, the complex of Santa Croce in Ravenna, Italy. The paper provides the presentation of the case study and the description of the surveying activities with some first results, to provide a preliminary assessment of the site criticalities to be addressed in the future activities in the area, in line with the EU project expected outcomes

    Enhancing Resilience of Cultural Heritage in Historical Areas: A Collection of Good Practices

    Get PDF
    Although the need to protect and draw upon the various benefits of heritage as an asset for resilience is nowadays more clearly highlighted than in the past, policies to protect heritage from disaster risk remain fragmented, while the importance of learning from heritage and existing knowledge for building resilience is underestimated. The aim of this study is to provide an insight on good practices dealing with cultural heritage when it comes to disaster risk management and climate change adaptation, aiming at increasing cultural heritage resilience of historical areas. To this aim, the paper applies the best practice research methodology for investigating cultural heritage resilience in historical areas through the codification and analysis of good practices collected from EU-funded projects. The results consist of more than 90 good practices reviewed and analyzed according to a set of criteria. The research findings, organized according to three main categories (i.e., institutional, structural/physical, social), contribute to emphasizing the importance of improving knowledge from already available good practices. Two main approaches have been highlighted in the discussion, according to the key role assigned to stakeholders, education, data, and technology. The results allow to take advantage of existing knowledge to support communities to increase resilience of cultural heritage in historical areas

    Il Parco Archeologico di Urbs Salvia: proposte per la conservazione e la valorizzazione del Teatro e dell'Edificio a Nicchioni

    No full text
    Questa Tesi verte su un approccio conservativo dei ruderi del Parco Archeologico di Urbisaglia (MC) e approfondisce il processo di indagine e tutela dell’area del Teatro romano e dell’Edificio a Nicchioni. L’obiettivo del progetto è quello di restituire ai cittadini un luogo vivibile, liberandolo dalle barriere di accesso attuali, e far riscoprire ai turisti un importante area museale richiamando i valori estetici e storici ormai persi. La riorganizzazione degli spazi monumentali che caratterizzavano questa fiorente colonia del Piceno romano è alla base di tutto il progetto. Un ulteriore scopo è quello di permettere la comprensione delle geometrie e delle dimensioni dell’antica città romana attraverso interventi puntuali ed evocativi a scopo didattico. La tutela delle emergenze architettoniche avviene mediante operazioni di restauro riproponendo le tecniche antiche, di consolidamento strutturale date da un’attenta analisi dei meccanismi di cinematismo in atto nei manufatti, di valorizzazione attraverso l’inserimento di nuovi percorsi di visita e di conservazione della struttura verde attraverso un piano programmatico di manutenzione
