Beyond Abandonment
The article presents the results of a national inventory of abandoned settlements—ghost towns—in Italy while also exploring possible strategies for revitalising these unique sites. The time window considered spans from the 18th to the 21st centuries. A tailored methodology, divided into six main phases, involved an in-depth bibliographical analysis and the compilation of a preliminary list of abandoned settlements. Transparent inclusion and exclu…
Geological and Cultural Heritage in Urban Areas
This study examines the challenges of conserving and enhancing geological and historical cultural heritage in urban areas of the southern Apennines, focusing on the Basilicata region in Southern Italy. The area’s complex geological evolution has produced diverse landscapes shaped by outcropping lithologies with different characteristics. Many urban centers are surrounded by rugged terrain where geological and geomorphological features remain visi…
From Settlement Abandonment to Valorisation and Enjoyment Strategies
The abandonment of inhabited places is a phenomenon widespread on a global scale that has spanned centuries. It has led to the birth of the so-called ‘ghost towns’. These lifeless sites dot the internal Mediterranean and European areas, testifying to the changeability of the human settlements. Through a vision that reverses the paradigm that epitomises the ‘ghost towns’, these places can be transformed from a problem into an opportunity for the d…
Urban Geoscience
Beyond the human-related conception, Urban Science is a broad concept that includes and concerns various interconnected issues linked to Natural, Engineering, Human, Social, and Computational Sciences. Natural Science is represented by issues linked to GeoScience and BioScience. GeoScience issues concern (i) the physical-environmental aspects linked to (a) design, planning, and expansion of the urban environment; (b) urban management intervention…
Reconstruction of the structural setting of the north-eastern side of the high Agri Valley (Southern Apennines, Italy) based on detailed field mapping
The Southern Apennines consist of a Cenozoic to Quaternary fold and thrust belt characterized by a complex structural architecture. In the axial portion of the chain, corresponding to the Agri Valley, folds and faults with multiple styles formed during the progressive emplacement of various tectonic units, derived from different paleodomains. In the available geological maps, the geometry of these tectonic structures is often hindered by scarce c…
Geomorphology of the Agri intermontane basin (val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, Southern Italy)
The aim of this paper is to show the most important landforms of the Agri intermontane basin, a large continental tectonic trough included within the Val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, southern Italy. The map was produced using aerial photo interpretation and field survey at a 1:25,000 scale and is composed of a main geomorphological map and three smaller submaps that provide more information on the geology of the basin. The geomorphological m…
Chronological constraints on a Holocene landslide in an intermontane basin of the southern Apennines, Italy
In this work a detailed geomorphological study aimed to reconstruct the Holocene evolution of a slope largely affected by landsliding is presented. The study area is located in the lower valley of the Tanagro River, flowing in the Auletta basin, a Pliocene to Quaternary tectonic depression located along the elongation axis of southern Apennines. In order to investigate the relationships between landscape evolution and triggering factors, and to b…
