“…The traditional system, which is still in use, involves data collecting on maps and on paper notebooks, and from this the transition is being made to digital gathering of data and information. When timing, accuracy, and group work are of the essence, digital methods allow quick, shared, and accurate results to be achieved [1].…”

The PARSIFAL (Probabilistic Approach to pRovide Scenarios of earthquake Induced slope FAiLures) method was applied to the survey of post-earthquake landslides in central Italy for seismic microzonation purposes. In order to optimize time and resources, while also reducing errors, the paper-based method of survey data sheets was translated into digital formats using such instruments as Tablet PCs, GPS and open source software (QGIS). To the base mapping consisting of Technical Regional Map (Carta Tecnica Regionale—CTRs) at the scale of 1:10,000, layers were added with such sensitive information as the Inventory of Landslide Phenomena in Italy (Inventario dei Fenomeni Franosi in Italia—IFFI), for example. A database was designed and implemented in the SQLite/SpatiaLite Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) to store data related to such elements as landslides, rock masses, discontinuities and covers (as provided by PARSIFAL). To facilitate capture of the datum on the ground, data entry forms were created with Qt Designer. In addition to this, the employment of some QGIS plug-ins, developed for digital surveying and enabling of quick annotations on the map and the import of images from external cameras, was found to be of considerable use.

“…In particular, these authors identified, in addition to alluvial episodes between the 16th and 18th centuries AD, a specific event, dated 1472. Continuous human interventions added to the post-Roman age flood events and relative alluvial deposits, determining an elevation of the local soil level of about 2 meters and thus bringing the urban area to its current topography [53]. In the same area, in the Middle Ages, a "gate" was built to control the flooding of the Misa river, which could be closed if it occurred concurrently with that of the S. Angelo channel.…”

Geomorphological Evolution of the Sena Gallica Site in the Morpho-Evolutive Quaternary Context of the Northern-Marche Coastal Sector (Italy)

The Sena Gallica Roman town was settled on the Adriatic coast in the 5th to 4th century BC. The choice of the site was largely influenced by the geomorphological and physiographic conditions near the Misa river mouth. The interactions among climate variation, river dynamics, and marine oscillation determined the anthropic development. At the same time, the new settlement strongly influenced the evolution of this sector in both medieval and in recent times. This work aims to highlight the geological setting and geomorphological evolution of the Senigallia area within the Northern Marche region, taking into account the main scientific literature and new studies to propose a new interpretation of the Holocene history.

“…In addition, mobile applications are a perfect tool for exploiting digital and multimedia materials for didactic and touristic purposes, engendering the possibility to create an immersive experience and expanding the temporal and spatial scales of perception that you can have simply observing a point of interest [29,33]. In several case studies mobile applications have already been created and tested with urban areas as prime locations [34] but also in non-urbanized contexts [35][36][37][38][39]. The topic is often focused on building stones, since the target images are easily recognizable and obtainable by visual recognition tools [40].…”

Over the past two decades, significant efforts have been made to diversify the tourism industry and enhance its educational experience. One such endeavor is urban trekking and geotourism, which have emerged as important means of promoting geological knowledge. The recent advancements in augmented reality technologies as well as the increasing availability of ‘born digital’ data such as those gathered from social media create a basis for the development of immersive and customized touristic experiences. Urban scientific heritage, augmented reality, and data mining are the key elements of the HUSH project. Its first focus is the identification of the naturalistic components in a given urban area (flora, fauna, and geological features) through literature surveys and scientific research. These factors become points of interest (PoIs) along touristic paths, where they are connected to the historical and artistic components of the area. Augmented reality serves as the medium through which the user can access this content. The contents are delivered as videos, text, images, or interactive 3D models. The mobile application from this project is a useful tool for promoting geoheritage and naturalistic values in urban areas and for improving the awareness and the sustainability of our cities.
