Changing conditions: Global warming-related hazards and vulnerable rural populations in Mediterranean Europe (2024)
Journal Article

Human-induced climate change has profound effects on extreme events, particularly those linked to global warming, such as heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires. These events disrupt ecosystems, emphasizing the imperative to understand the interactions a...

Evaluación de la vulnerabilidad sísmica de edificios históricos de mampostería usando modelos semánticos apoyados en evidencias empíricas: Aprendizajes en México (2024)
Journal Article

La evaluación de la vulnerabilidad sísmica asociada a las construcciones históricas representa diversos retos metodológicos y de escala. La no linealidad en el comportamiento estructural en edificios de mampostería no reforzada, la variedad de soluci...

Assessing the spatiotemporal impact of users’ exposure and vulnerability to flood risk in urban built environments (2023)
Journal Article

Flood risk in an urban built environment depends on the combination of the hazard, the vulnerability of the built environment itself and its infrastructure (referred to as physical vulnerability), and the exposure and vulnerability...

Building rehabilitation, sustainable development, and rural settlements: A contribution to the state of the art (2023)
Journal Article

The quality of life in rural housing settlements is at the heart of territorial cohesion concerns across Europe and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. However, the gap between urban and rural developments remains substantial, stressin...

Multi-vulnerability analysis for seismic risk management in historic city centres: an application to the historic city centre of La Serena, Chile (2023)
Journal Article

A comprehensive understanding of the elements at risk, through the identification of the main hazards, level of exposure and different dimensions of the vulnerability of the communities, is an essential step toward the definition and adoption of more...

Flood vulnerability and risk assessment of historic urban areas: Vulnerability evaluation, derivation of depth-damage curves and cost–benefit analysis of flood adaptation measures applied to the historic city centre of Tomar, Portugal (2023)
Journal Article

Around 45% of natural hazards reported worldwide are related to floods, and current indications show that exposure to floods and inherent losses will keep escalating. Historic centres are particularly vulnerable in this context due to the structural...

Modelling and mapping urban vulnerability index against potential structural fire-related risks: An integrated GIS-MCDM approach (2023)
Journal Article

Identifying the regions with urban vulnerability to potential fire hazards is crucial for designing effective risk mitigation and fire prevention strategies. The present study aims to identify urban areas at risk of fire using 19 evaluation factors a...

Implementing open-source information systems for assessing and managing the seismic vulnerability of historical constructions (2023)
Journal Article

The characterisation of the seismic vulnerability of historical constructions represents a complex problem in which the typological variability, the difficulty of performing reliable large-scale assessments and dealing with a large database all play...

Application of Data Mining Techniques to Rural Vernacular Buildings: A Methodology for Characterisation and Awareness (2023)
Journal Article

Data-mining techniques (DMTs) have been widely used in the context of existing buildings. However, studies comparing its application to different objects and using rural territories with vernacular constructions as case studies remain highly unexplor...
