Genesis

Seismic Risk Management for the Tourism Development of Historic Centers in Southern Italy

What is Genesis?

The Genesis project aims to develop an IT platform capable of collecting information relevant to seismic risk affecting built structures at progressively finer levels of detail: from the territorial/urban scale (historic center) to the district level and down to the individual building level, enabling the following analyses: territorial scale: the simulation of damage scenarios useful for emergency management; urban scale: planning of seismic risk reduction measures; individual building scale: development of structural behavior models for assessing static safety and seismic vulnerability, as well as the interventions that may be necessary based on the previous analysis. This will enable the provision, at the technical level, of guidance on intervention strategies through cost-benefit analyses that balance the need for seismic risk reduction and conservation with tourism promotion, and, at the tourism level, multi-level access to information (guided tours, thematic insights, direct access to sources, etc.).

What is proposed

The Genesis project aims to develop an IT platform capable of collecting information relevant to seismic risk affecting buildings at progressively finer levels of detail: from the regional/urban scale (historic center) to the district level and down to the individual building level, enabling the following analyses to be performed:
• Regional scale: simulation of damage scenarios useful for emergency management;
• urban scale: planning of seismic risk reduction measures;
• individual building scale: development of structural behavior models for the assessment of static safety and seismic vulnerability, as well as the interventions that may be necessary based on the previous analysis.

This will enable the provision, at the technical level, of guidance on intervention strategies through cost-benefit analyses that balance the need for seismic risk reduction and conservation with tourism promotion, and, at the tourism level, multi-level access to information (guided tours, thematic insights, direct access to sources, etc.). EHT, as a project partner, contributes to these objectives by developing a series of advanced technological solutions. Key activities include the creation of a georeferenced data lake and an IoT platform, as well as an agent-based model to simulate scenarios and support emergency response planning. Platforms have been created for accessing shared data and simulations. The target markets are Smart Environment & Infrastructures.
The assets developed include:
• a platform for the dynamic acquisition of seismic hazard data;
• a data lake distributed across multiple levels of granularity;
• an IoT smart lighting system for sensory pathways;
• a multi-level platform for accessing information, and an agent-based model for planning rescue operations.
