MANAGING EMERGENCY INTO HISTORIC CENTRES IN ITALY: SEISMIC VULNERABILITY EVALUATION AT URBAN SCALE
Italy is one of the most earthquake prone areas in Europe and one of the countries with the richest cultural legacy in the world. A series of seismic events occurred in the last decades caused considerable casualties and damage to historic centres, highlighting the need of un-dertaking protective measures to limit the impact of any potential earthquake. The complex morphology of historical city centres with their century-old built environment contribute to the high vulnerability and exposure in the areas. This research introduces an interdiscipli-nary approach to implement the seismic emergency management for historical centres in Italy and consequently to address their preventive planning. A procedure combining vulnerability analysis and urban spatial techniques allows defining a ranking of priority interventions to be included into a preventive plan in order to ensure free escape routes and clear access for the emergency services during the post-seismic phase. The first step of this work is the survey of the present-day configuration of historic centres, with their historical assets, aggregates, critical infrastructures, urban functions and strategic ac-tivities. Then, a key aspect regards the vulnerability assessment of the urban fabric in order to predict post-seismic damage scenarios. By considering the interference of the buildings’ vul-nerability with the street network, it is possible to develop mitigation strategies to improve the emergency management.
