Geo-hydrological risk and town and country planning
Geo-hydrological risk and town and country planning
Editor(s): F. Luino and D. Castaldini
The objective of the Special Issue is to analyze the state-of-the-art in the field of land management in relation to geo-hydrological hazards. The volume will collect papers produced by different groups working in the field of natural hazards, geo-hydrological risk, land-use planning and urban planning. After an introduction about the general problem, case studies for current land/urban management related to geo-hydrological hazards will be presented and an overview of landslides, muddy-debris flows and floods in urban areas and related management strategies will be supplied. Issues of the insurance against natural hazards will be discussed with some link to different countries. The aim of the Special Issue is to inform the international scientific community and especially technicians, politicians and urban planning authorities about the results of studies and researches that have been carried out in this field, suggesting a sort of guidelines for a sustainable land management.
