| Zusammenfassung |
| The study area (600 km2), consisting of Orco and Soana valleys in the
Western Italian Alps, experienced different types of natural hazards,
typical of the whole Alpine environment. Some of the authors have been
requested to draw a civil protection plan for such mountainous regions. This
offered the special opportunity (1) to draw a lot of unpublished historical data,
dating back several centuries mostly concerning natural hazard processes and
related damages, (2) to develop original detailed geo-morphological studies
in a region still poorly known, (3) to prepare detailed thematic maps
illustrating landscape components related to natural conditions and hazards,
(4) to thoroughly check present-day situations in the area compared to the
effects of past events and (5) to find adequate natural hazard scenarios for
all sites exposed to risk. The method of work has been essentially to compare
archival findings with field evidence in order to assess natural hazard
processes, their occurrence and magnitude, and to arrange all such elements
in a database for GIS-supported thematic maps. Several types of natural
hazards, such as landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, stream floods and snow
avalanches cause huge damage to lives and properties (housings, roads,
tourist sites). We aim to obtain newly acquired knowledge in this large,
still poorly understood area as well as develop easy-to-interpret products
such as natural risk maps. |
