The southern suburbs of Rome were built up for the most part during the second half of the last century. This contribution illustrates the case study of the Ostiense area, located across the Tiber River valley, where the city’s expansion has mostly not taken into account the geological and hydrogeological characteristic of the land. For this reason, many buildings and infrastructures of the area have been damaged by differential subsidence and flooding. This work proposes a hazard zonation based on the geotechnical, hydrogeological, hydraulic and seismic characteristics of the area, for the purposes of urban development planning and management.

Abstract
The southern suburbs of Rome were built up for the most part during the second half of the last century. This contribution illustrates the case study of the Ostiense area, located across the Tiber River valley, where the city’s expansion has mostly not taken into account the geological and hydrogeological characteristic of the land. For this reason, many buildings and infrastructures of the area have been damaged by differential subsidence and flooding. This work proposes a hazard zonation based on the geotechnical, hydrogeological, hydraulic and seismic characteristics of the area, for the purposes of urban development planning and management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
