Abstract

This article presents an exploratory methodology to co-create climate services for the tourism sector together with local stakeholders, emphasizing focus groups as an essential step for obtaining relevant data throughout the process. The article describes the user engagement for defining the optimal conditions for tourism in four different types of destinations in terms of tourist specialisation in Spain (Jacetania Council in the Aragon Pyrenees, the city of Calvi`a on the island of Majorca; the city of Barcelona and the Barcelona Coast) and Italy (Sila National Park) This methodology involves a sequence of steps to extract and validate such information through engagement, with destination stakeholders along the value chain (from accommodation managers to destination planners as well as final users). The process facilitates the design of numerical indices based on the information collected (from qualitative to quantitative data). Our methodology is suitable for application in other contexts and tourism activities where the subjective perception of weather and climate plays a role, as well as in other sectors.

Abstract

Coastal areas are particularly sensitive to climate change. Owing to a significant increase in human activities and pressures, these areas have become particularly susceptible to extreme physical phenomena that increase the exposure and vulnerability of population. The Authorities ought to make strong efforts to: i) take the necessary measures and actions to reduce the negative impacts of the natural phenomena on the coastal areas, which are also due to the climate change; ii) investigate the factors that influence the communities' perception of natural hazards and the climate change. Indeed, in order to effectively manage the negative impacts of climate change both considerable scientific know-how and of people's perception of the risk associated to them is paramount.Within this framework, a Research Project funded under the Agreement on Scientific Cooperation between CNR and the University of Malta (UoM) was developed. The Project is organized in order to synergistically combine the various scientific researches of the two partners (CNR-IRPI and University of Malta) in the context of natural hazards, public knowledge and perception of geo-hydrological risk and climate change. Calabria (Southern Italy) and Malta, the two Mediterranean regions considered as target areas for the Project, show different geomorphological and climatic settings but, although with different exposure levels, they are both affected by extreme physical phenomena and climate change.

Abstract

The present work aims at identifying the location of recent debris-flow-dominated alluvial fans at a regional scale in Calabria (southern Italy). Here, alluvial fans widely occur as both tributary junction and mountain front types and represent a potential hazard to human settlements and transportation links near or on them. The alluvial fans inventory map at 1:250,000 scale was obtained by means of a stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photos shot in 1954–1955. To establish the activity of the detected alluvial fans, recent documentary evidence (scientific reports, local newspapers and journals, and Internet blogs) on debris-flow events and historical satellite imagery available on Google Earth, covering the period 2001–2014, were analysed. Subsequently, the activity of the alluvial fans over the last 60 years has been divided into four classes. A total of 1170 alluvial fans have been mapped, 545 (46.58%) of which have been active over the last 60 years. The alluvial fans with a length from apex to toe < 200 m predominate, constituting 70% of the total. In the feeder basins, the dominant lithologies are represented by medium to high-grade metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks, gravel and debris and, shales and low-grade metamorphic rocks. Finally, the inventory map shows that 103 settlements are located on alluvial fans, 18 of which are active or have been active during the last 60 years. This map is a useful tool for land planning policy and for the assessment of risk deriving from debris-flows on the alluvial fans of the Calabria region. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
