Vulnerability and climate impacts in urban areas: experimental processes

We present the results obtained by applying in a GIS platform the hierarchical process developed in the project research Metropolis in order to asses the vulnerability of the physical and social subsystems in which the urban system is decomposed; the model proposed in the research has provided for the construction of specific indicators to assess the climate impact response to the experimented wave and flooding flooding in two areas of study of the city of Naples corresponding to some urban districts in the eastern and western areas of Naples. The model built for the generation of impact scenarios is based on the IPCC AR5 approach; it has been experimented in the course of Metropolis research taking into consideration the value of the resident population in buildings as exposure to the risk generated by heat wave phenomena, and the built-up area of use on the ground floors subject as eposure to the risk generated by pluvial flooding phenomena.
