Soil Cadastre in Italy for Sustainable Development: the Urban Soil Cadastre (the Second Branch)
The description of the second branch of the Land Cadastre concludes
with the description of the structure of the new inventory Land Cadastre.
The principles applied are always the same: computer node where all the
information present in the various municipal, regional, state, reclamation
consortia and research centres can be entered. The scheme used in
each branch of the structure is that of the current Cadastre. In this work
the guide is the Urban or Buildings with the two elements the Particle
Map Sheet and the Cadastral Certificate. The cultural intensification
is the first step and concerns both the cartographic part and the areas
of the condominiums outside the buildings, and the particles created
representing the streets, squares, junctions of the urban agglomerations.
This branch also includes all communication routes such as: stations and
railway lines, airports, motorways and service stations, and various roads.
Within each territory are identified the particles of the Urban Land Cadastre
characterized by uniformity in terms of environment, territory and
use and management. In addition to the units, there are the sub-parcel
units indicated with a progressive Arabic subscript number. The inclusion
of all the properties of the parcel in the current certificate allows
the transition to that of Urban Soil. At that point it becomes multifunctional
because it can be used by all professionals in the area, by the land
manager and to assess the sustainability of uses (main objective of the
new inventory). Sustainable uses can be easily disseminated because it is
possible to communicate with those who manage the use. Sustainability is linked to the landscape, local slow tourism and by converting the use of
fossil fuels with renewable energies (valorising natural resources such as
the sun) in condominiums, industries, shopping centres and public administrations,
it is possible to create the least onerous management and
more competitive businesses and therefore able to conquer national and
international markets. All this leads to an improvement in the liveability
and security of urban area
Activity of the CIRIAS as regards energy and environment
CIRIAS an interdisciplinary research facility – theoretical and applied – of the University of Palermo, offening its services to the territory, proposes to conduct studies and research, teach highly technical and scientific skills, develop seminars and conferences, and manage databanks in collaboration with public or private institutions. Currently adhering to the Centre are scholars covering various areas of specialization (Economics, Engineering, Agriculture, Psychology). Through its specialists it is therefore able to develop and validate complex systems of industrial automation, industrial robotics, underwater robotics and, socio-economic systems that govern not only industrial production but also the sector of transport, telecommunications and environmental pollution; to carry out studies on predictive models related to the area, activities related to the new economy and tourism or other activities that the development of science and technology offer; to carry out training and consultancy in the field of automation for companies that operate in the territory
Land Cadastre in Italy for Sustainable Development: Application to Two Parcels of Land in a Geopark in the Process of Being Defined in Corleone (PA-Italy)
Geoparks, like all parks, are UNESCO awards for a sustainable management
of all resources and therefore also of human life. Environmental
emergencies such as climate change, pollution, soil erosion, salinisation,
and fires that, together with health emergencies, undermine life on earth,
require intervention. The widespread sustainable management of the territory
of a municipality, a region, a nation, or all of them (European
Union) allows to widen the application of these concepts to reach the
limit of a planet that guarantees life for future generations. The work
after having exposed the motivations of the geopark (an initiative born
by chance), i.e. the surface where the environmental beauties such as
the Canyon of the Corleone River, the Waterfall of the Two Fortresses,
the vertical walls with many layers from green (glauconite) to greenish
yellow, two huge blocks of limestone called Castles (distinct in Soprano
and Sottano) together with tabular structures give rise to a unique landscape
that characterizes the city of Corleone and its adjacent territory.
The application of the principles of the Land Cadastre of the extra-urban
Soil to two plots has made it possible to highlight the ease with which
sustainability can be assessed and also the need to intervene in one plot,giving indications of grazing management to limit or stop the erosion
in progress. The water resources of Corleone come from this formation,
but also the cheeses that together with durum wheat, oil and wine from
other territories create a rich area that has allowed the population in past
centuries to pay tyrants to regain their freedom. Today, by networking
the structures for the reception of visitors, it is possible to create development
and enhance the local production. This is why Corleone can be
defined as the City of bread, wine, oil, water and breathtaking views and
sunsets, the “The city of clean living”
CADASTRAL MODELS IN EU MEMBER STATES
AbstractCadastres are always related to land: they are a creation of man as effect of his relationship with land.The different conditions of the Cadastre in 14 EU Member States, including the former EU Candidate States (that nowadays are also EU members), are shown in this paper.Half of EU countries store cadastral and registration data in the same database.Basically two original models of cadastral system exist in the EU, related with systems of land registration :1) in the Central European model (beyond the area of the Germanic “Grundbuch”) Cadastre emerges as a graphic basis (map) of land registration (Land Registry), so that physical changes must be reflected in the Cadastre and legal changes in the Land Registry, by maintaining a perfect parallelism;2) in the Latin model the Cadastre emerges only as a taxation instrument, useful for collecting land taxes.The Land Cadastre in the EU is almost always parcel-based and contains an urban Cadastre (of buildings) only in a few countries.Moreover, the European Land Information Service (EULIS) is shown as result of a project carried out by nine partners of eight EU Member States.The knowledge of the cadastral models in EU Member States is a fundamental condition for the harmonisation of Soil Cadastre at EU level as an inventory for environmental, social, economic, legal and taxation purposes

Nomenclature for Hydrogeological Instability Risks
The nomenclature for hydrogeological instability risks includes four main risks, which are distinguished according to the risk causes :
1) hydrogeological risk, that is slowly caused by natural factors (e.g. collapse landslides in a calcareous cliff in uninhabited areas and erosion along a marly-calcareous slope) in environments where human activities are minimal, i.e. woods, forests and mountain pastures;
2) hydraulic-pedological farming risk, that implies the occurrence of landslides in every winter and is caused by incorrect crop selection, not suitable for the soil and climate parameters (e.g. on a hilly slope with a clay vertisol type with a landslide having different fronts, when the arable land is cultivated with a cereal-legume crop rotation), or the presence of springs with missing drainage in clay soils with a high gradient;
3) hydraulic-infrastructural risk, that is caused by the building up of infrastructures not suitable for the surrounding environment, as they change the downflow of shallow water;
4) hydraulic-infrastructural-pedological-management risk, that is caused by crop operations not suitable for soil and crop parameters, where the selected cultivated plant species are suitable for the environment and field improvements change water downflow (e.g. in soils along hilly calcarenite slopes cultivated with olive orchards, where up-down soil tillage causes shallow water erosion)
Proposal of a Nomenclature for Hydrogeological Instability Risks and Case Studies of Conservative Soil Tillage for Environmental Protection
In order to implement environmental protection, within the Soil Cadastre, previously proposed as a multipurpose inventory that aims to promote sustainable soil uses, the hydrogeological instability caused by human activities is the focus of this work. These activities can be aimed at sustainable agricultural soil use or the building of roads to allow the access to the fields. The soil’s hydrogeological instability causes the unsustainable use and management of a cadastral parcel. Therefore, the aim of this work is to propose a nomenclature for hydrogeological instability risks, as well as the best practices of conservative soil tillage in case studies, in order to reduce environmental impact. According to the proposed Soil Cadastre, the missing environmental sustainability of a parcel and the reason for this must be communicated to the field owner or manager. In a hilly area of inland Western Sicily, four main risk types of hydrogeological instability were identified: hydrogeological instability (caused only by natural factors); hydraulic-pedological-farming instability (crop not suitable for the field for missing or insufficient soil drainage and landslides); hydraulic-infrastructural instability (built up infrastructures unsuitable for the site); hydraulic-infrastructural-pedological-management instability (field improvements changing the downflow line and crop operations not suitable for the soil and climate parameters). The farm owner or manager must be informed about the risk type affecting their fields in order to perform the best practices (i.e., conservative soil tillage),
for implementing or restoring a sustainable soil use or management in each cadastral parcel
