“…A number of research contributions have dealt with the effects of natural hazards on depopulation of inland areas, as well as of social and structure vulnerability, see, e.g., [17,18]. However, there is no clear indication of specific methodologies to quantify natural risks in inland areas, an issue being tackled in the remainder of the paper.…”

The abandonment of inland areas has become a major demographical challenge, causing a condition of local fragility in terms of spatial marginalization. To deal with this issue in Italy, a number of policy actions have been implemented over the time, namely the National Strategy for Inland Areas, established a decade ago, and more recently the Next Generation EU (NGEU) to foster local economic recovery and employment. In this context, RI.P.R.O.VA.RE., a project funded by the former Italian Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea (MATTM), was aimed at strengthening the resilience features of communities and territories, focusing on areas within the Matese and Ufita in the Campania region and the Medio Agri in the Basilicata region (southern Italy). Besides the ability to respond to different pressure factors (e.g., of demographic and economic origin), the project also addressed issues concerning seismic and flood risks. This paper synthesizes the methods and tools provided for their analysis and mitigation as a prerequisite for regenerating inland areas. After presenting the developed methods and tools, the results obtained for the Matese study area are presented and discussed. While, on the one hand, the retrieved risk zoning maps allow individuating those municipalities requiring priority structural interventions, on the other hand, the latter are properly individuated based on the peculiar characteristics of urban fabrics.
