The integrated geological risk assessment

Objective

To establish criteria for the identification of territorial units of reference and land zoning.
To provide a multi-hazard assessment considering meteorological and climate change.
To develop a socio-economic analysis to be integrated in multi-hazard assessment and focused to the risk definition.
To define methodologies and criteria for the identification and evaluation of integrated risks in some European areas.
To suggest principles for multi-hazard and multi-risk assessment.

The TIGRA aims to be a feasibility project in order to define criteria and procedures for an integrated
methodology on risk assessment. For this scope the objectives will be achieved by focusing and detecting for
some European test areas, an "environmental inventory", based on physical and dynamic features of the
territory, and a "socio-economic inventory". In fact, a risk analysis have to be founded on the study of the
global demand of the territory as a result of demographic and socio-economic forecasting on the basis of a rule
adjustment containing a programme of socio-economic growth able to give compativle the proper requests of
development which considers the return time and the magnitude of natural events.
The project will be developed through the following main tasks:
1. Legislation.
2. Physical and dynamical characters in the view of climatic and meteorological changes.
3. Criteria for the achievement of hazard maps.
4. Socio-economic aspects and exposure analysis.
5. Vulnerability research and assessment.
6. Criteria for the achievement of risk maps.
7. Data collecting and manipulation through Geographical Information System.
