Abstract

The SISTEMATI project is developing a distributed information and communication system aimed at distributing and sharing information among people in charge of preparedness and response activities in the field of Spatial Planning and Civil Protection. To this end, the project provides authorities and volunteers with a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) supporting different tools and facilities targeted to: retrieve natural hazard risk maps on the basis of geo-information included in metadata files; it makes use of a Spatial Decision Support System to suggest and control the flow of actions to put in practice during an emergency; and manages Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) provided by citizens to point out anomalous conditions of the territory. Although, the SDI has been originally conceived and designed to support the management of distinct natural and man-made risks, in the prototypal implementation of the proposal, the management of wild fire risk in a study area approximately covering 3.900 km2 in the central-eastern part of the Sardinia Island (Nuoro province) is the primary issue.
