GNGTS 2024 - Atti del 42° Convegno Nazionale

Session 2.3 GNGTS 2024 Before beginning our analysis, we examined how the literature on seismic risk communicaton has evolved over tme, startng in 1970. The Google Scholar database shows that the number of Fig. 1 – a) Publicatons on seismic risk communicaton over tme. Raw data from Google Scholar database searches according to the strings listed in the text are ploted for all risks (right y-axis) and seismic risk communicaton (lef y- axis) in Europe and worldwide; b) publicatons shortlisted for this review study. publicatons increased signifcantly afer the year 2000 (Fig. 1a), whereas it was negligible before. Therefore, we fltered out publicatons with the following terms in the period 2000-2022 (Fig. 1b): seismic risk communicaton; earthquake risk communicaton; seismic risk educaton; earthquake risk communicaton; educatonal seismology; seismic risk educaton campaign(s); seismic risk awareness campaigns. Other criteria included peer-reviewed full-text publicatons in English and case studies from European countries. Some additonal documents were found via citatons in the selected publicatons. We shortlisted 482 documents that underwent further screening afer reading the ttle, abstract or main text to remove duplicates, grey literature (conference proceedings, abstracts, reports, dissertatons, web documents, magazine/newspaper artcles), documents not strictly focused on earthquake risk communicaton or not dealing with case studies in Europe. Finally, 109 publicatons were considered for the scoping review (see Musacchio et al., 2023 for more details). The 109 selected publicatons were examined on the basis of six key aspects of risk communicaton (Fig. 2), namely when the communicaton takes place, who communicates what to whom, why and how. We divided the publicatons among all co-authors in order to be able to read and categorise them in detail.
