Abstract
Integrated hydrologic and landslide risk management in the Romagna River Basins using cartographic predictive modeling A.Pistocchi, O.Zani Autoritd del Bacini Regionali Romagnoli, Regione Emilia Romagna, Forli, Italy Abstract The paper illustrates the general decision support system architecture set up by the Basin Authority, which includes descriptive cartography and databases concerning flooded areas and basic thematic maps, together with model-based cartography about terrain analysis, regionalized hydrological and soil properties data, simple distributed kinematic runoff modeling, stream hydraulic data and links to GIS-coupled simulation models. The decision support system was set up by integrating existing technologies in the Arc-View GIS environment, and exploiting to full extent the modelling capabilities of the software. Most analytical operations are performed directly using GIS analytical tools, while for more specialized enquiries dynamic models are implemented. A
