Spatial Analysis of the Vulnerability to Flooding in the Rural Context: The Case of the Emilia Romagna Region

Abstract: The adversities of climate change represent a serious risk factor on both food production, rural territories and landscapes. In light of these irreversible trends, the process of adaptation of the rural territory is a necessary step, in order to increase its climate resilience. In this study, the vulnerability assessment was the tool used to evaluate the specific phenomenon of “flooding and backwatering” in the case study of Emilia Romagna region (Italy). The approach was based on the IPCC’s risk analysis meth… Show more

“…Moreover, the advantage of this approach is the ease with which it can be replicated in other spatial contexts, through the definition of local proxies. These must be based on available information layers, usually held by the local government, or which can be obtained from satellite data [3].…”

“…Furthermore, agriculture and farming practices, typical of rural areas, are recognised as very relevant factors in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and therefore, a direct cause of climate change itself. Considering this situation, it becomes fundamental that rural territories act on a double front: mitigation (a), through the reduction of the CO 2 produced and the consequent storage and sequestration connected to agricultural practices, and adaptation (b), related to the effects of climate change in relation to flooding [3].…”
