Zusammenfassung |
Results deriving from a research focused on the interplay between landslides
and urban development are presented here, with reference to two densely
populated settings located in the Campania region, Italy: the city of Naples
and the island of Ischia. Both areas suffer adverse consequences from
various types of landslides since at least 2000 yr. Our study evidences
that, despite the long history of slope instabilities, the urban evolution,
often illegal, disregarded the high landslide propensity of the hillsides;
thus, unsafe lands have been occupied, even in recent years, when proper and
strict rules have been enacted to downgrade the landslide risk. It is
finally argued that future guidelines should not be entirely based upon
physical countermeasures against mass movements. On the contrary, national
and local authorities should enforce the territorial control, obliging
citizens to respect the existing regulations and emphasizing the role of
alternative, non-structural solutions. |
