Landslides represent a serious threat for people living
in mountainous areas. The notion of “landslide” includes very different
phenomena, with different size, velocity and kinematical behaviour. Moreover,
landslides can change typology during their evolution. The complexity of the
phenomena makes the managing of landslides a difficult task for authorities,
agencies and institutions that usually do not have a specific preparation on the
problem.
The objective of the JPA is the calibration of
CARiMan by the application to a number of past events, and the validation of its
effectiveness by the application to the landslide events occurring during the
project itself. This part of the JPA will be conducted in collaboration with
end-users, in order to optimise the applicability of the decision support system
for non-specialist users.
