Law n.267/1998: Landslide risk zonation Regional landslide inventories 2 million landslides mapped at 1:10.000 Lanslide risk areas ca. 10.000 areas classified at extremely high risk (R4) Social impact ca. 60 victims per year Economic impact ca. 1 - 2 billion Euro per year (0.15% of GDP) Unstable urban areas 1,306 to be stabilized 323 to be relocated

National risk zonation

Risk class Level Description Measures

R4 Very high Major risk for human life. Desctruction of buildings and infrastructures

Reconstruction forbidden, relocation or stabilization compulsory

R3 High Major losses for buildings and infrastructures. Possible risk for human life

Severe building restrictions. Stabilization works required.

R2 Medium Expected damage for buildings and infrastructures. No risk for life

Medium building restrictions

R1 Low Limited expected loss General risk prevention measures

R0 Negligible No expected loss None

tion

I1: Scarps, terraces, counterslopes

I2: Sharp variation of curvature in the longitudinal profile

I6: Sharp difference in vegetation inside/outside the landslide

I3: Irregular drainage system, water ponds, internal drainage depressions, stream channel deviation

I4: Bedrock outcrops, soil erosion, denudation

I5: Presence of rapid-growth vegetation

1. Active (moving) – R4

2. Suspended (seasonally) – R4

3. Dormant (recurrent) – R3

5. Naturally stabilized – R2-R1

6. Artificially stabilized – R2-R1

7. Relict – R0

Portable SAR apparatus known as LISA (Linear Synthetic Aperture Radar), developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission

Ground based SAR interferometry

Continuous-wave stepped-frequency (CW-SF) radar based on a Network

Analyser (NWA) operating in the frequency band 17.0-17.1 GHz

Ground-based InSAR

The synthetic aperture is obtained sliding the antennas

Phase Wrapping: Large displacement generates fringes

Decorrelation: Rapid motion causes “salt &

pepper” texture

Coherence ( 0 <Γ <1) gives an estimate of the error in measured differential phase

Reconstruction of the slip surface •  Graphical method for reconstructing

the slip surface (Carter & Bentley, 1985; Cruden, 1986) used in Structural Geology

•  Input data: position of the main scarp and displacement vectors within the landslide mass

•  Assumption: rigid deformation within each slice (Mertie, 1947)
