Integrated methodologies for seismic risk mitigation in Gjirokastër (Albania)

In this study, we firstly present: 1) the state of the art of the Limit Condition for Emergency (LCE) studies for civil protection planning and 2) the rationale behind the proposed methodology for implementing site-effects in damage scenarios. Then, we show the potentiality of an integrated approach which takes into account LCE for an efficient geophysical surveys planning by examining the case study of the city of Gjirokaster. Lastly, we show some propaedeutic results useful for estimating site-effects and applying the methodology at the point 2.
