Abstract Urbanization is a global phenomenon and currently more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. Studies on geomorphological heritage development specific methods investigation (assessment, inventories, cartography) are, however, relatively rare limited. This paper first describes relationships between urbanization geomorphology. Secondly, it presents an overview main works heritage. Then, are presented. Finally, we discuss challenging issues concerning protection promotion
Cities all over the world have developed on different geological-geomorphological substrates. Different kinds of human activities operated for millennia as geomorphic agents, generating numerous and various erosion landforms huge anthropogenic deposits. Considering increasing demand land expansion built-up areas involving disturbing any kind natural system inside surrounding actual urban areas, it is not negligible how important dynamics environment its physical evolution are. In this...
The results of a long-lasting geomorphological survey carried out in Rome are summarized. A method aimed at integrating data, historical maps, aerial photographs and archaeological literature produced map the present-day centre. geomorphology is related to paleogeographical conditions prior founding City; they allow us recognize stages landscape evolution ancient Caput Mundi (Capital World). study area has been affected by continuous man-made changes drainage network topographic surface over...
In the framework of geosite management, specific targeted symbols for geomorphological legends are still lacking. Concerning geosites interest, mapping requires in relation to goals and applications, either concerning geomorphic hazards risk detection or enhancement resources, particular those related cultural heritage and, hence, geoheritage. A new methodology geo(morpho)heritage on maps is presented this paper. Nine iconic examples from Italian landscape, selected different morphogenetic...
Abstract The definition of landslide hazard is a step-like procedure that encompasses the quantification its spatial and temporal attributes, i.e., reliable susceptibility detailed analysis recurrence. However, available information often incomplete, fragmented unsuitable for quantitative analysis. Nevertheless, evaluation has key role in implementation risk mitigation policies an effort should be done to retrieve make it useful this purpose. In research, we go through topic optimising...
Geotourism is a useful way to educate societies in the field of geomorphology and related natural hazards. Geosites, including geomorphosites, represent basis for development this type tourism. This study describes 12 representative gully regions within nine European countries. The characteristics 42 permanent gullies, systems, badland landscapes are presented. Based on scientific values sites, educational lessons be learned were identified that mainly (i) gullies as geological window, (ii)...
Abstract Urban geomorphology has important implications in spatial planning of human activities, and it also a geotouristic potential due to the relationship between cultural geomorphological heritage. Despite introduction term Anthropocene describe deep influence that activities have had recent times on Earth evolution, urban heritage studies are relatively rare limited geotourism development is recent. The analysis complex landscape often need integration multidisciplinary data. This study...
In historical urban centres, the superimposition of excavation and deposition activities over time has resulted in an irregular spatial distribution anthropogenic deposits, which may reach considerable thicknesses. The detection those thicknesses requires extensive investigations. Broad borehole geophysical campaigns cost money, consequently at urban-planning level, it is usual to shift estimation thicknesses, be performed through map-algebra operations, that is, by subtracting from modelled...
Based on long-lasting multidisciplinary and multitemporal investigations, in 2016 the first geomorphological map of central area Rome was presented. It introduced innovative solutions for cartographic restitution urban landforms. Under this work, analysis delved deeper, because study focused smaller Urbs, ancient city centre that has been modified by human activities over millennia. The main goal new to verify if 1:5000 scale survey could allow improve legend symbols, order better represent...
Urban geomorphology focuses on the changes to natural landscape caused by human activities in cities. Cities have different geological-geomorphological substrates, and several been operating within them times. Humans as “geomorphic agents” generating anthropogenic erosion accumulation, moving a “tremendous amounts of soil rock” since Paleolithic [1]. Study urban helps understanding natural, historical evolution, imposed settlements relation with...
Urban geomorphology is a recent topic and its theory practice require continuous updates. However, few studies have focused on issues specifically connected with the cartographic representation of geomorphological processes landforms in urban environments, aim reconstructing clarifying original physical landscape. Recent conducted Italian cities tried to propose new strategies for detecting mapping human induced modifications topography, anthropogenic landform classification has been...
In mental health services there is an increasing attention to the recovery of people with severe illness. Consequently a growing literature on this topic focused above-all description excellence paths that often include variables related organizational aspects service. Less given specific interventions foster all goals are essential improve living conditions, including defining and planning goal, emotional perception, effective communication for negotiation, practical interpersonal...
Mass tourism affects Italian minor islands during summer, and the main attractions are seaside boat tours, together nightlife. Nevertheless, hotspots of Mediterranean geodiversity, biodiversity, culture. This study presents a geotourist itinerary on Capri Island based geomorphological survey mapping, geoheritage inventory, evaluation for geotourism purposes. research highlights Capri’s geosites’ scientific, scenic cultural values as an alternative to mass focused coasts....
<p>The increasing scientific interest in urban geomorphological survey and mapping is recently demonstrated by the number of case studies which can be found literature. It due to support discipline brings knowledge effects growth on processes landforms vice versa, analysis geological risks. In addition, dissemination cultural geoheritage areas represents an effective communication tool, both for landscape historical evolution storytelling anthropogenic impact...
Comparing two areas, characteristics of Central Italy's Geological Heritage, we propose geotouristic trails. The urban-environment geotrail, in the city centre Rome, that shows geomorphological evolution area, whose geological and climatic framework greatly contributed to historical development city. natural-environment one, across Ernici Mountains (southern Lazio), describes a karstic landscape, which is an example cultural history Lazio's countryside. This proposal importance trail...
