“…Due to different predisposing factors such as high uplift rates, lithological features and the morphostructural setting (Borgomeo, Hebditch, Whittaker, & Lonergan, 2014;Di Leo, Gioia, Martino, Pappalardo, & Schiattarella, 2011;Revellino, Grelle, Donnarumma, & Guadagno, 2010;Santangelo, Gioia, Cardinali, Guzzetti, & Schiattarella, 2013; among others), the Southern Italian Apennine is significantly affected by mass movement processes, which play a key role in landscape evolution (Cendrero & Dramis, 1996;Di Leo et al, 2011;Gioia, Di Leo, Giano, & Schiattarella, 2011) and have a strong impact on human activity (Guzzetti, 2000;Lazzari, Geraldi, Lapenna, & Loperte, 2006;Naudet et al, 2008;Parise, 2002). In a similar morphostructural setting where landslide processes coexist with a growing human pressure, land use planning and hazard evaluation are a critical issue for the sustainable development and effective control of economic losses and casualties related to landslide occurrence.…”
