The Monitoring of Urban Environments and Built-Up Structures in a Seismic Area: Web-Based GIS Mapping and 3D Visualization Tools for the Assessment of the Urban Resources
In this paper, a non-invasive infrastructural system
called MASSIMO is presented for the monitoring and
the seismic vulnerability mitigation of cultural
heritages. It integrates ground-based, airborne and
space-borne remote sensing tools with geophysical and
in situ surveys to provide a multi-spatial (regional,
urban and building scales) and multi-temporal (longterm,
short-term and near-real-time scales) monitoring
of test areas and buildings. The measurements are
integrated through web-based Geographic Information
System (GIS) and 3-dimensional visual platforms to
support decision-making stakeholders involved in urban
and structural requalification planning. An application
of this system is presented over the Calabria region for
the town of Cosenza and a test historical complex.The present work is supported and funded by the Italian
Ministry of Education, University and Research
(MIUR) under the research project PON01-02710
