“…The assessment of the hazard is obtained by combining time and spatial features, following the processes described in 15 , 17 , 18 in which are considered three types of hazard scenarios: short-term (2020–2040), medium-term (2041–2070), and long-term (2071–2100).…”

“…The urban system is partitioned into three subsystems: residential buildings, open spaces, and population; the model was implemented and tested to evaluate the vulnerability of the three subsystems to the heatwave phenomenon and the impact scenarios. The model was evaluated in accordance with the research reported in 17 , 18 , considering the resident population as an exposure component and assessing the combined vulnerability by combining the intrinsic vulnerabilities of the subsystems with the exposure.…”

“…Our research was conducted as part of the PLANNER project 17 , 18 , in which a geocomputational platform was tested, breaking down the urban system into atomic units made up of the individual census sections. In order to evaluate the performances and the portability of our framework, it was developed and tested on two study areas: the city of Naples, a complex urban system with a very high build density, and the city of Avellino, a less dense context both for building and housing density.…”

In this work, we propose a GIS-based platform aimed at the analysis of heatwave scenarios risks produced in urbanised environments, applied to assess vulnerability and impact heatwave scenarios. Our framework implements a hierarchical model that represents a good trade-off between forecast accuracy and portability in different urban fabrics, apart from the spatial scale of the data, using topographic and remote sensing spatial data provided by institutional agencies. The framework has been applied to two study areas: the dense city of Naples (Italy) and the intermediately populated city of Avellino (Italy) in order to evaluate its accuracy performances and portability in different urban fabrics. Our framework can be used by urban planners and decision makers as a tool to locate potential risk zones where it is necessary to implement climate-resilient solutions.

The growing awareness of the danger of extreme weather phenomena highlights the inadequacy of current cities and the increase in their level of vulnerability concerning the impacts resulting from climate change. The theme of design to combat climate impacts requires the development of knowledge and process models capable of managing the complexity of the information necessary to direct a climate-proof transformation of the urban systems. The research made it possible to develop a methodology based on the exchange of data between GIS-based ICT tools and for parametric design, to analyze the microclimatic and performance behavior of recurrent types of urban open spaces in Italian cities, characterized by different climatic conditions, through generic urban patterns, homogeneous in terms of building density and morphology. The goal achieved was to define the critical aspects of urban open spaces with the performance offered in response to the phenomenon of heatwaves, to verify and measure the performance effectiveness of climate-proof intervention categories, to transfer these results in the form of database, hazard maps, and potential levels of adaptation, and to define guidelines for the climate-oriented project. The transfer of the project data took place through a decision support webGIS platform (SDSS).
