A new GIS based integrated approach to analyse the anthropic-geomorphological risk and recovery the vernacular architecture

This work, carried out with an integrated approach, represents an effort to evaluate the state of conservation of the historically built heritage of a medieval village in southern Italy, characterized by a valuable vernacular constructive culture. Typological emergences were collected, through a field survey, and were put inside a GIS that is the base for analysis with the main aim to detect the priorities of intervention for their structural recovery and management in relation to geomorphological and anthropic risk. The vulnerability of historical buildings has been evaluated through a decay index calculation, while the risk level has been defined considering the presence of man-made caves and evaluating their relationships with historical buildings, as well as their possible collapse and evolution in time as a function of the natural geomorphological processes.
