GNGTS 2023 - Atti del 41° Convegno Nazionale

Session 2.2 GNGTS 2023 of the risk to which European centers are exposed and to prioritize future interventions and extensive structural analysis. The two studies just illustrated represent an essential enrichment for urban planning tools aimed at preventing seismic risk. In Faenza, the approach - tested in different historical contexts in both ordinary and damaged conditions - is based on an in-depth knowledge of the built reality to formulate a qualitative assessment of vulnerability. In Timi ș oara, on the other hand, the study attempts to define general and quantitative risk indicators on the current historical fabric. However, both studies aim at the same objective: to provide criteria for preventive intervention. These preliminary observations highlight the opportunity to develop a common methodology to assess the vulnerability of a historical urban area in a multidisciplinary way that overcomes the limitations of each individual method.
