摘要:The study area of the Costa Viola mountain ridge is strongly exposed to shallow landslides triggered by rainfall. Starting from a susceptibility map, recently published by the same team, the related risk has been assessed, limitedly to landslide sources. The hazard has first been evaluated by considering the recurrence periods of triggering events. Economic value and physical vulnerability of the types of elements at risk have been assumed by considering land-use and the effects of similar events in Southern Italy, respectively. The 1:30,000-scale risk map (Main Map) has been produced by combining the above-mentioned layers. Low risk prevails in the study area, whilst the highest values are concentrated along the coast, where villages and the main infrastructure are located. The expected annual damage exceeds 570 million € (about 68% pertaining to low-risk cells). Risk maps produced through similar simplified geographic information system-based procedures may play a crucial role in accurate land-use planning and effective decision-making.
