L’uso della cartografia digitale come base per la realizzazione di un SIT dedicato alle reti sentieristiche in Campania: esempi ed applicazioni.

The development of the hiking paths network in the Campania Region, its marking and maintenance in the field, as well as the relative cartographic restitution on up-to-date maps are nowadays important objectives, since the naturalistic tourism in mountainous environment has recently become more intense, and consequently it is necessary a correct and secure fruition of the hiking paths in the various Campanian mountains groups. Therefore, it is important implementing a Geographical Information System (GIS) dedicated to the Campanian hiking paths network with the aim of process, storing and managing all the parameters and characteristics of the local paths, also during time. In this study some routes of naturalistic and environmental particular value have been selected, which are located in the Lattari Mountains Group, the Vesuvius National Park and the Capri Island. GPS field survey measurements have been carried out along these routes and stored using the national official digital cartography. The field measurements have been taken during yearly scheduled excursions of the Neapolitan section of the Italian Alpine Club. The acquired data have been plotted on the relative maps, stored with the relative attributes tables and visualized through Google Earth interactively.The obtained results represent a feasibility study for a GIS of the hiking paths network of the Campania Region, with evident advantages and possible future developments not only for the trekkers but also for environment protection goals

Campi Flegrei volcanic surveillance by thermal IR continuous monitoring

Solfatara and Pisciarelli areas are the most impressive example of hydrothermal activity at Campi Flegrei caldera (Southern Italy). In these areas INGV-Osservatorio Vesuviano has been handling since 2004 a surveillance network for continuous, long-term volcanological monitoring of fumaroles fields by using thermal IR acquisition stations. In this paper different methodologies of analysis applied to time series of IR scenes are introduced and discussed. In spite of substantially different approaches to data analysis, the results of these methodologies agree with ground deformation data of the same area and likely are a useful tool for volcano monitoring and long-term risk definition

Approccio metodologico per l’ individuazione di siti potenzialmente inquinati attraverso l’integrazione di dati multiparametrici, in ambiente GIS: un esempio di applicazione al Comune di Marigliano (Napoli)

In the most recent year, the environmental monitoring is became important for managing of territory and mitigation of the geo-environmental risks. The integration of the current geo-technologies and geomorphologic, geological, geochemical and geophysical parameters is fundamental for excellent results. In this paper we describe a methodology of study to identify environmental anomalies (illegal buried waste) of the Marigliano town, in province of Naples, brownfield of national interest for the reclamation. Particularly we have been described the use of satellite imagines in several years that has been the goal of this research. Brownfields not known potential contaminated have been identified and managing in GIS system to give a base for realization of a control support system

Thermal monitoring of hydrothermal activity by permanent infrared automatic stations: Results obtained at Solfatara di Pozzuoli, Campi Flegrei (Italy)

A permanent automatic infrared (IR) station was installed at Solfatara crater, the most active zone of Campi Flegrei caldera. After a positive in situ calibration of the IR camera, we analyze 2175 thermal IR images of the same scene from 2004 to 2007. The scene includes a portion of the steam heated hot soils of Solfatara. The experiment was initiated to detect and quantify temperature changes of the shallow thermal structure of a quiescent volcano such as Solfatara over long periods. Ambient temperature results as the main parameter affecting IR temperatures while air humidity and rain control image quality. A geometric correction of the images was necessary to remove the effects of slow movement of the camera. After a suitable correction the images give a reliable and detailed picture of the temperature changes, over the period October 2004 – January 2007, which suggests origin of the changes were linked to anthropogenic activity, vegetation growth and to the increase of the flux of hydrothermal fluids in the area of the hottest fumaroles. Two positive temperature anomalies were registered after the occurrence of two seismic swarms which affected the hydrothermal system of Solfatara in October 2005 and October 2006. It is worth noting that these signs were detected in a system characterized by a low level of activity with respect to systems affected by real volcanic crisis where more spectacular results will be expected. Results of the experiment show that this kind of monitoring system can be a suitable tool for volcanic surveillance

WEIRD – Real Use Cases and Applications for the WiMAX Technology

IEEE 802.16/WiMAX is one of the most promising technologies for Broadband Wireless Access, both for fixed and mobile use. This paper presents the structure of some testbeds, set up in the framework of the European project WEIRD, about novel applications running on top of a WiMAX-based end-to-end architecture. The presented testbeds are based on real use case scenarios, including monitoring of impervious areas, tele-medicine and tele-hospitalization
