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...

On the seismic vulnerability assessment of urban areas using census data: The Lisbon metropolitan area as a pilot study area (2023)
Journal Article

This paper presents a procedure for the application of an index-based vulnerability assessment method to the seismic risk assessment of 292,978 reinforced concrete and 152,916 unreinforced masonry buildings in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA). A si... Read More about On the seismic vulnerability assessment of urban areas using census data: The Lisbon metropolitan area as a pilot study area.

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...
