“…From an experiment performed in collaboration with the Civil Protection of the Calabria Region [32], using the potentialities of the GIS environment, the authors built the virtual city [33,34] of Gioia Tauro, in which the SBs, EAs, and strategic road network were mapped. The GIS platform considered is the open source QGIS Desktop software [35].…”

One of the main goals of disaster management planning is to ensure the effectiveness of the emergency measures when a hazard occurs. This happens only if the decision-makers use operational tools considering the structural characteristics of urban systems. Starting from these assumptions, the authors proposed an emergency management method based on the integrated work between two different scientific sectors, the urban planning and construction engineering sectors. The proposed method aims to evaluate the practicability of the strategic road network, as well as defining the emergency rescue routes based on the out-of-plane (OOP) seismic collapse of masonry infills (MIs) in reinforced concrete (RC)-framed buildings. The OOP failure of MIs is predicted according to an innovative MI macro-model. The authors test the method on a geographic area in the municipality of Gioia Tauro (Reggio Calabria, Italy). The results show that due to the collapse of MIs, the functionality of the strategic road network in emergency conditions can be compromised, causing losses of the urban systems’ performance. Based on the obtained results, the authors recommend that decision-makers use the proposed methodology to identify the vulnerable rescue paths and to locate the strategic infrastructure while spending the financial resources in a more effective way.

Urban space’s physical and environmental characteristics impact urban public safety. Specifically, many areas in the older urban core are morphologically unsafe. The historic city’s resilience to natural disasters and emergency phenomena often surpasses expectations thanks to settlement principles, post-disaster transformations, and redundancies that enhance the performance of the historic built environment. Yet, the necessity to introduce new qualities to reclaim urban heritages scattered throughout the territory, often abandoned or sparsely populated, underscores the need for maintenance and management measures to boost safety and resilience. This study aims to identify technological components in urban space that influence the safety of places and define a design method for safety planning in historic urban settings. Urban safety interventions encompass various technological aspects in conjunction with the widespread distribution of equipment, adaptation of public and private facilities, and networked infrastructure and services. This paper delineates the elements that converge in the technological design of an appropriate historic town center to address potential emergencies. It presents the initial findings of studies conducted on a minor center with a strong historical value. This document aims to be useful for administrations of smaller municipalities, as the proposed method can be replicated in similar contexts.
