“…In the proposed methodology, the hazard factor only refers to the national seismic classification, according to which the whole Municipality of Castelfranco Emilia presents a low-to-medium level of seismic hazard, calculated as values of expected shaking on rigid ground and horizontal topographic surfaces. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that the geological and geotechnical features of a site may influence the level of the seismic ground shaking that is experienced [63]. Therefore, integrating more in-depth studies on the seismic hazard factor would allow for a more detailed mapping of the risk conditions in the urban area and would allow for a strengthened and more integrated knowledge of possible damage conditions.…”

Recent seismic events and the damages related to them have highlighted the crucial role of urban planning in coping with the fragility and intrinsic vulnerability of cities. The paper presents a methodology for assessing seismic risk at an urban scale, expanding from a single-building investigation to an urban-scale analysis by adopting an empirical method for assessing the vulnerability of the urban fabric. Data collection and analysis have been conducted through the Geographic Information System (GIS). The methodology has been applied to the Italian city of Castelfranco Emilia, in the Emilia-Romagna region, where the current regional urban planning law is guiding municipalities towards the development of strategies mostly oriented toward the retrofit of the existing building stock and the overall regeneration of the urbanized territory, in accordance with the target of no net land take by 2050. The novelty of the method stands in the transposition of approaches born in the civil engineering and protection domains to the urban planning sphere, stressing the importance of developing urban planning instruments which are well-integrated with vulnerability assessments and, therefore, able to successfully incorporate risk considerations in the decision making.

Urban and territorial planning processes are characterized by a high level of complexity that makes tools management dif?cult. This research presents a Web-GIS prototype for supporting urban planning and management decision-making processes towards social, economic and environmental sustainability. It is designed according to open-source technology and aims to de?ne new planning top-down and bottom-up approaches. The design criteria of this innovative platform respond to the essential principles of transferability, modularity, scalability, and data interoperability. This new tool is applied to a case study to demonstrate how it can support planners and local authorities in urban planning and management processes.
