Flood risk management in historic centres
Open AccessMariella De Fino, Gabriele Bernardini et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2026
The increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters underscore the need for reliable and adaptable risk management solutions, especially in complex environments such as historic city centres, where structural and functional characteristics pose unique challenges. To address this issue, the paper proposes a workflow that integrates GIS, BIM, and VR technologies to enable seamless informative integration and effective assessment of k…
A novel dynamic disaster risk assessment of Urban Built Environments
Open AccessEnrico Quagliarini, Alessia Freddo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2026
Disaster risk assessment in Urban Built Environments (UBEs) must consider the joint impacts of possible hazard conditions and dynamics in UBE use, and thus the spatiotemporal variations in the number (exposure) and typology (individual vulnerability) of the hosted population. The integration of such concepts could be boosted by multiscale approaches representing the complex interactions among the UBE subsystems, supporting scenario creation. Buil…
How much do users matter? An integrated method for building flood vulnerability and exposure assessment in Historic Urban Areas
Open AccessGessica Sparvoli, Elena Bosi et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026
The definition of sustainable strategies for risk mitigation in Urban Built Environments (UBEs) prone to flooding should be based on holistic yet quick approaches that comprise hazard, physical vulnerability, and user factors. In particular, the ways users occupy, live and behave in UBEs introduce significant spatiotemporal dynamics in the final risk due to their user exposure (how many?) and vulnerability (of which type?). These effects can be r…
A Novel Framework for Heat Stress Risk Assessment and Mitigation in Real and Typological Historical Public Open Spaces Under Climate Change Scenarios
Open AccessEnrico Quagliarini, Caterina Alighieri et al.ARTICLEHeritage2026
Climate change is altering the use of public open spaces in historical urban environments, compounded by urban heat island effects. Especially considering urban squares, rising temperatures increase health risks for outdoor users, particularly for vulnerable individuals (by, e.g., age and fragility). Rapid risk assessment under current and future climate scenarios can exploit integrated simulations to support the process, considering both real-wo…
Supporting “Build Back Better” in historical towns
Open AccessEnrico Quagliarini, Gabriele Bernardini et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2025
Applying ‘Build Back Better’ (BBB) principles to Historical Urban Built Environments (HUBEs) means balancing sustainable structural and non-structural strategies with revitalization and preservation tasks, by addressing multiple risk factors. Among them, user exposure (“how many people?”) and vulnerability (“of which typology?”) can describe how the HUBE and its composing parts can be attractive depending on their functions, also impacting potent…
From single to multi-risk perspective
Open AccessGabriele Bernardini, Gessica Sparvoli et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025
A workflow for multi-mitigation strategies for historic squares is proposed. • Heatwave and terrorism risks methods are combined to test multi-risk scenarios. • Behavioural simulation-based approach is used for assessment goals. • Sustainable, compatible and redundant heatwaves-oriented solutions are defined. • Solutions impact is verified for terrorist acts, and then for multi-risk mitigation. Historical outdoor Open Areas (hOA) are relevant “ho…

Behavioural-based risk of the Built Environment
Open AccessAlessandro D’Amico, Gessica Sparvoli et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2024
The assessment of risk in the Built Environment (BE) involves understanding the inseparable relationship between the physical space and its users. In emergency management, particularly during Sudden-Onset Disasters (SUODs), effective evacuation is crucial for individuals’ resilience in BE. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) offer a quantitative approach to risk assessment, facilitating a systematic evaluation of various risks within BE. The resear…
Assessing the spatiotemporal impact of users’ exposure and vulnerability to flood risk in urban built environments
Open AccessGabriele Bernardini, Thaylla Maria Ferreira et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2024
Flood risk in an urban built environment depends on the combination of the hazard, the vulnerability of the built environment itself and its infrastructure (referred to as physical vulnerability), and the exposure and vulnerability of the people residing, working or visiting it (i.e., their human condition). However, factors affecting those people vary over space and time depending on the uses of the built environment. This research offers a meth…
Towards Using Digital Technologies to Balance Conservation and Fire Mitigation in Building Heritage Hosting Vulnerable Occupants
Open AccessMarco D''Orazio, Margherita Canafoglia et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024References: 11
Digital technologies can support designers in balancing architectural heritage conservation and performances using multidisciplinary approaches. Fire safety represents a challenging issue, especially in public historical buildings hosting vulnerable occupants, since heavy modifications are often required to facilitate their evacuation. Digital tools based on evacuation simulation are able to verify the impact of other sustainable, compatible evac…
Terrorism Risk Assessment for Historic Urban Open Areas
Open AccessElena Cantatore, Enrico Quagliarini et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024References: 6
Making cities resilient and secure remains a central goal in urban policy strategies, where established methods, technologies, and best experiences are applied or replicated when the knowledge of a threat is already well established. The scientific community and specialized bodies are invited to comprehend and evaluate disastrous events that are still not well explored to broaden the concept of resilient cities. Among these, terrorism in the Euro…

Boosting urban community resilience to multi-hazard scenarios in open spaces
Open AccessMariella De Fino, Riccardo Tavolare et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2023
A key role in making cities resilient has been acknowledged in raising risk preparedness and awareness of urban communities, by appropriate education and communication strategies, which should rely on innovative and pervasive tools. In this regard, an outstanding paradigm shift is driven by the advancement of Virtual Reality, which can take advantage of Serious Games, for helping individuals develop responsive behaviours in case of both slow and …
Determining behavioural-based risk to SLODs of urban public open spaces
Open AccessJuan Diego Blanco Cadena, Graziano Salvalai et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2023
A behavioural-based approach can be used to assess how users’ reactions to surrounding environmental conditions can alter the urban Built Environment (BE) risk to Slow Onset Disasters (SLODs). Public Open Spaces (POSs) in the BE are relevant scenarios, due to micro-climate-related stress, users’ vulnerabilities (e.g., age, health frailty) and exposure time. Simulation methods can support behavioural-based risk-assessment, but results are generall…
How Could Increasing Temperature Scenarios Alter the Risk of Terrorist Acts in Different Historical Squares? A Simulation-Based Approach in Typological Italian Squares
Open AccessEnrico Quagliarini, Gabriele Bernardini et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023References: 3
Squares in the urban historical built environment are public open spaces prone to the risk of terrorist acts, essentially because they are ideal soft targets and attract significant user densities. Risk assessment methods should consider how users behave in them, both before and during an accident (i.e., the evacuation process). In addition to squares’ morphology and layout, and considering that urban areas are more and more prone to the effects …
Users' vulnerability and exposure in Public Open Spaces (squares)
Open AccessEnrico Quagliarini, Gabriele Bernardini et al.ARTICLECities2023References: 47
Public Open Spaces (POSs) such as streets and squares, in our cities are characterized by spatio-temporal variations of users' vulnerability and exposure in view of the hosted social, governmental, religious, and commercial functions. Single or multi-risks conditions in POSs can hence vary over time. This work proposes a methodology to perform local-scale analyses on use patterns in real-world POSs, pursuing a quick-to-apply approach based on rem…

Urban morphology parameters towards multi-risk scenarios for squares in the historical centers
Open AccessFederica Rosso, Letizia Bernabei et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2022Cited by: 1References: 3
The historical built environment (HBE) in urban areas is prone to disasters, which threaten both people and the historical built heritage itself. In such a scenario, risks depend on the combination between different possible (multi-) hazards (including climate change-related ones), the vulnerability and exposure of HBE users, and the physical (morphology-, typology- and construction-related) features of the HBE. In this context, squares are relev…

Seismic risk of Open Spaces in Historic Built Environments
Open AccessLetizia Bernabei, Giovanni Mochi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2021
Earthquakes affect the safety of the users hosted in both indoor and outdoor urban built environments, especially in Historic Built Environments (HBEs). Many full HBE-scale risk-assessment methods are defined, while methodologies oriented to local analysis of meso-scale elements, such as Open Spaces (OSs), are still limited. Nevertheless, OSs play a crucial role in the first emergency phases, like in the evacuation process, since they host emerge…
