SH0019 - LABORATORY A - ENVIRONMENTAL RISCK

The degree laboratory in Risk Planning aims to develop fundamental theoretical and practical skills for students. In particular, it seeks to provide a solid theoretical foundation on the principles of territorial and environmental planning, with a specific focus on risk management. Through laboratory activities, students will have the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real cases, thereby developing practical skills.
​​​​​​​Another objective of the laboratory is the analysis of natural and anthropogenic risks. Students will be guided in understanding and analyzing the main natural risks, such as landslides, floods, and wildfires, as well as anthropogenic risks, such as pollution and unsustainable resource use. Furthermore, they will learn to assess the potential impact of these risks on communities and the environment.
The laboratory also focuses on the development of mitigation strategies. Students will be trained in designing effective strategies for risk mitigation, taking into account territorial specificities and the needs of local communities. An integrated approach will be promoted that combines technical, regulatory, and socio-economic measures to ensure safety and sustainability.
Additionally, the laboratory includes the design of integrated solutions. Students will be guided in creating innovative interventions and solutions to improve the resilience of the territory to identified risks, ensuring that proposals are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.
Finally, the laboratory will offer a field experience using the Maiella National Park as a testing ground (or any other territories suggested by students and agreed upon with the instructor). Students will analyze the geomorphological, ecological, and cultural diversity of the chosen area while working on planning processes that address the challenges of multiple risks in the context of the park (or other agreed-upon areas). This approach will foster experiential learning that further enriches their education in preparation for their thesis.
