Innovation and transformation in landslide risk management in Italy

The aim of the event is to verify the state of knowledge in the characterization and perimeter of landslide phenomena, over 20 years after the promulgation of the laws establishing the hydrogeological management plans (PAI). These plans, initially focused on the knowledge and delimitation of the areas at risk, have seen a regulatory evolution that has refined the fields of application, as highlighted by the Prime Ministerial Decree of 8 May 2015. However, the lack of uniform criteria in the definition of landslide risk remains a critical point. More than a quarter of a century after the founding laws, there is a need to review the methodological approaches that led to the current cognitive framework in light of scientific advances, regional inhomogeneities, innovative technologies, climate changes and new legislation.
