The objective of this study is to provide an empirical example of a flexible and replicable methodology to estimate the micro-scale Urban Heat Island (UHI) risks within an urban context which takes into account all the relevant elements.
Cover
In this paper, the Italian young people's awareness, perception and preparation about natural risks, mainly landslide and flood risk, as well as climate change are investigated.
Cover
This work aims at developing a GIS-based FDICH that (i) weights exposure based on the level of listing, (ii) weights vulnerability based on ad-hoc taxonomy, (iii) provides a damage density per unit surface instead than a point classification.
