Abstract:The adverse impacts of natural disasters on lives and livelihoods, as well as regional and local economies, are increasingly evident, and losses to both tangible and intangible cultural heritage due to these disasters pay an important role in the total amount. In fact, damages to sites, structures and artifacts of cultural and historical value, as well as impacts to cultural tourism and the financial resources, produce a strong competitive disadvantage on local communities. Emergency decision making, based on awareness of the suffered damages, can play a crucial role in the attempts of improving resilience of the strategic elements; however, this process typically requires a fast overview on large territories. In this work, we propose a novel framework for obtaining an agile solution to quickly collect and analyze picture galleries and information provided by both internal staff and citizens through commercially available mobile devices. This solution virtually generates a network of information sources during emergency time (e.g., a seismic sequence), and allows to produce a situation map in GIS environment, hence supporting the health status analysis of cultural heritage over time. This paper presents the prototype system composed of: (1) a smartphone application for the acquisition of new information and the examination of existing one; (2) a web-service for exchanging data with databases; and (3) a local service that makes use of a proper piece of software for obtaining a 3D reconstruction from new picture galleries. The proposed system results in a scalable, exportable and modular tool useful during the emergency and for preserving memories of local communities.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is a complex field in which a huge amount of data is used to plan preventive measures, get prepared to natural disasters, and effectively respond when they strike. This work focuses on the definition of a co-design methodology to integrate a crowdsourcing solution in the DRR processes. We define the proposed methodology, and implement it involving operators and experts in the DRR domain (crisis managers, technical services, first responders). We show how a participatory design approach helps in the design of a crowdsourcing solution that experts are willing to integrate into their DRR procedures.

“…In crisis situations, it has been observed that crowdsourcing is successful in increasing participation and produced contents [2], [3]. Because its potential benefits, the most recent Disaster Risk Management (DRM) approaches include the direct participation of citizens along the different stages [4], [5], [6]. Crowdsourcing can support activities aiming at preventing and reducing disaster risks.…”

Abstract-Nowadays, the number and the magnitude of natural hazards are increasing. During emergency situations different forms of cooperation take place, including the crowdsourcing, which is envisioned by many Disaster Risk Management approaches to enable citizens to support the emergency management process. However, crowdsourcing is a challenging paradigm as it requires a sustained engagement in order to be effective. In this paper we propose a gamification strategy for crowdsourced Disaster Risk Management services aimed to increase awareness, engagement, and change people behaviors.
