Transformative Resilience for Inner Areas and Local communities. Strategies and actions for disaster risk reduction and post-disaster recovery

Piergiorgio Vitillo (Pincipal Investigator)

TRIALs focuses on Central-Italy Inner Areas, which become a reference for the Italian sustainable and resilient restart in the Plan for Recovery and Resilience frame. The project embraces an evolutionary approach defined as transformative resilience, which means helping to maintain and quickly return to functions, adapt to change, and transform the components that limit the capacity for evolution in response to present and future shocks. The proposal innovates planning guidelines for building back better. The guidelines will be based on local potential defining territorial development scenarios under the banner of transformative resilience. In this frame, planning by scenarios experiments a resilience-in-action, offering communities a perspective to identify future developments in a multirisk age. TRIALs applies the methodology on two municipalities, Norcia and Camerino, with potential future application on other Inner Areas with multi-hazard problems.
