Task 8.5: Pilot Analysis Support Platform and GIS Risk database of
ASTARTE Products
Task leader: UNIBO
The application of different methods for hazard, vulnerability and risk analyses implies
the need to build a tool helping analyze results and provide solutions. A pilot Analysis
Support (AS) platform will be developed and implemented that can build a solution by
a combination of more or all assessment methods following a sort of a tree logic.
Further, producing a large amount of thematic maps related to hazard, vulnerability
and risk covering different geographic regions within NEAM and at different scales
can be handled properly only by means of a GIS-based database populated of such
ASTARTE project products.
T8.5.1 Devising and implementing an Analysis Support ASTARTE platform to
synthesize results obtained by the application of different approaches of hazard,
vulnerability and risk assessment.
T8.5.2 Implementing an ASTARTE GIS-based multi-layer database including results
in form of maps produced by WP8.
