“…If we analyze the perception of exposure to extreme natural events, the perception of exposure to earthquakes by respondents from Lago and Amantea is high on both. These data, in the context of this geographical study area, confirm the high perception of risk exposure, also found in other studies carried out in different areas of Calabria-Pollino [63], Aiello Calabro [78], Costa degli Dei [60,79], Maierato [61,80]. As we have pointed out, the two municipalities are located in an area with high seismic hazard.…”

The consequences of climate change can involve various ambits and be very severe. For this reason, the social perception of climate change is a fundamental issue since it can influence the decisions of the policymakers, by encouraging or discouraging political, economic and social actions. In this paper, a sample of 300 interviews, collected through a standardized questionnaire and carried out among two municipalities located in southern Italy, was exploited to investigate the perception of climate change. Specific issues, regarding perceptions about climate change, concerns about its impacts, level of information, behavior and actions, exposure to extreme natural events and trust, were addressed to give answers to the research questions: (i) Is climate change perceived by the population? (ii) What is the degree of the community resilience to extreme natural events and climate change? As the main findings, this survey highlighted that the spatio-temporal dimension affects population perception, suggesting that some issues, such as correct behavior towards the geosphere, the sustainability of anthropization processes, community resilience and disaster risk reduction policies, can be very central and useful to mitigate the effects of climate change in population and society. Moreover, climate change perception varies in relation to contextual factors, including media communication, socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, knowledge and education, economic and institutional factors, personal values and, finally, psychological factors and experience.

“…The mean annual rainfall is approximately 995 mm (Figure 3): generally, the rain is distributed on 90 rainy days per year, essentially between October and March, when approximately 77% of the annual precipitation falls. Generally, the rainiest months are November and December, during which several landslides occur [19,34], while June, July, and August are the driest months of the year. The maximum daily rainfall of 290 mm was registered on 16 November 1987 (Figure 3c).…”

“…This basin is filled by Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary units (Figure 4) consisting of marine and continental deposits, unconformably lying on the Hercynian crystallinemetamorphic units of the Calabrian Arc [37,40,41]. As a geo-structural setting, the SA is situated on the north-eastern edge of the Catanzaro basin (Figure 4) and is the linkage zone between the northern and southern sectors of the mountain belt named the Calabrian Arc [34,[36][37][38][39]. The Catanzaro basin, including the SA, is a graben-like structure placed between Sila and Serre Massifs, bordered to the north by NW-SE-trending faults and to the south by a WNW-ESE-oriented fault system [35,38].…”

“…Finally, Holocene alluvial deposits are present along both valley floors and the coastline; also, along the latter, beach sediments can be found. The northern and central sectors of the SA are crossed by several normal faults, with an average N 120 • trend [34,36] (Figure 5a).…”

“…The inventory map (Figure 6) highlights that a large number of landslides were mapped on the foothill slopes of the Sila Massif and along the hillslopes surrounding the Catanzaro urban center. Several phenomena appear to be concentrated along the faults, representing weakness zone predisposing deep weathering processes [34]. Moreover, in the central sector, the hillsides carved on clayey terrains, even with low-gradient slopes, are affected by widespread landslides, primarily shallow landslides and soil creep.…”

This paper presents a GIS-based approach to create a multilevel data system for detailed knowledge of landslide occurrences in small territorial units such as municipalities. The main aim is to collect all the available data (geological, geomorphological, and climatic data, as well as landslide inventory maps and catalogues) in a structured data management system and perform further analyses to identify the typical landslide scenarios of the study area that can be useful in landslide risk management. We demonstrated the use of the methodology analyzing landslide risk in the municipality of Catanzaro (southern Italy), having a surface of 111.7 km2, 20.5% of which was affected by landslides. The spatial and temporal distribution of landslides highlighted that in several cases, they are reactivations of pre-existing phenomena. In fact, in the municipality, approximately 17% of the buildings fall within landslides-affected areas, 7.9% of which are in areas where landslides are classified as active. Furthermore, active landslides involve 8.1% and 9.5% of the roads and railways, respectively. In the 1934–2020 study period, 53% of activations occurred between October and December and were triggered by daily rain which in the highest percentage of cases (49%) showed values between 50 and 100 mm. The proposed GIS platform can be easily updated in order to preserve the landslide history of the area and can be enriched with further thematic layers (i.e., layers concerning flood events, which often occur simultaneously with major landslide events). The case study demonstrates how the platform can support landslide risk management in terms of monitoring, planning remedial works, and the realization/updating of civil protection plans.
