Abstract:
KULTURisk is an European project that aims to evaluate the benefit of risk prevention of water-related natural hazards (Balbi et al.,2012).
In particular a Team that work at the Department of Economics of Cà Foscari has developed an integrated assessment methodology to estimate flood risk in a spatially explicit fashion. It is called SERRA methodology and comprises three tiers of analysis:
1)RRA (Regional Risk assessment which provides a physical/ environmental risk assessment;
2)the Social assessment aims at considering the benefits of the human dimension of vulnerability;
3)the Economic assessment which provides an economic evaluation of costs and benefits of different prevention measures
This methodology should be a good guideline for its application to different case studies.
In particular the case study that interest my work is about risk assessment in Vipacco river sub-catchment (at the border between Italy and Slovenia); Vipacco is an affluent of Isonzo, a river that flows into Mar Adriatico in the Golfo di Trieste.
It is presented a spatial implementation of valuation algorithms in a GIS context.
