In this paper, the importance is underlined of promoting higher education
and training courses and opportunities, focused on a close connection between GIS
and geography to cover topics of remarkable and daily social interest. In the first
part of the contribution, some educational key points are defined in order to fuel a
virtuous circle which can provide considerable methodological and applied skills in
the use of GIS applications. It is considered fundamental to broaden one’s mind, to

In questo volume, radicato attorno alla dimensione applicativa della ricerca e della didattica, per la quale offre un ampio ventaglio di input ed esempi, vengono presentati e discussi modelli GIS e metodi di visualizzazione e restituzione digitale funzionali ai processi interpretativi di eventi, fenomeni e problemi contingenti.

Il volume raccoglie alcuni dei risultati raggiunti attraverso due progetti tra loro strettamente
connessi: il progetto GIS4RISKS. Synergic use of GIS applications for analysing volcanic and seismic risks
in the pre and post event e il progetto 3D and 4D Simulations for Landscape Reconstruction and Damage
Scenarios. GIS Pilot Applications. Incentrando l’attenzione sul territorio della provincia di Napoli,
quale eloquente area di studio per il rischio vulcanico, indotto da Vesuvio e Campi Flegrei, sono

Numero speciale della rivista "Semestrale di Studi e Ricerche di Geografia" dedicato alla relazione tra digital technologies e geografia

In veste di curatrice della pubblicazione, l'autrice introduce i contributi contenuti nel numero 1/2017 del Semestrale di Studi e Ricerche di Geografia, dedicato alla relazione tra tecnologie digitali e geografia.

Historical cartography is an important source of geographic information for diachronic studies.

This study, focused on the Archaeological Park of Centocelle, was carried out to test the functionality of different geomatic products for the identification and monitoring of complex archaeological evidences in urban areas. The method proposes a better knowledge of the archaeological context as a tool to favour a better protection, allowing the establishment of limits to urban enlargement in areas of respect. The test area is chosen because of the combined presence of hypogeal evidences related to Roman and pre-Roman

This paper proposes a simplified GIS-based procedure which aims to preliminary assess areas exposed to debris flows by evaluating erosion and deposition area into channels and along alluvial fans. The methodology is based on the definition of several morphometric parameters on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs); it is independent from landslide volume and its rheological characteristics.

One of the open challenges in transport modelling is to estimate within-day demand flows that reflect the complexity of individual activity-Travel behaviour. While disaggregate (Activity-Based) demand models can recreate realistic daily mobility patterns at an individual level, they usually require an accurate knowledge of individual user behaviour (i.e. via travel surveys), which is not always available.
