Task 8.5: Pilot Analysis Support Platform and GIS Risk database of ASTARTE ProductsTask 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.
