20.500.12556/DiRROS-22976 Reducing seismic vulnerability of historic areas moving from good practices to tailored roadmaps Enhancing territorial resilience while reducing risks is of paramount importance for communities, especially for those in historic areas where vulnerability is a significant component of risk, and where cultural heritage serves as a catalyst for collective identity. However, policies and planning tools designed to protect historic areas from natural and anthropic risks remain fragmented. The aim of this paper is to provide evidence- based guidance to help policymakers build tailored roadmaps for reducing the seismic vulnerability of historic areas. This research focuses on the Adriatic–Ionian region, with six countries identified as case studies. The methodology is structured in three phases. First, good practices for addressing seismic vulnerability are identified and codified to improve existing knowledge. Second, a replicability and scalability assessment of the good practices is performed for each case study. Finally, roadmaps are developed as ready-to-use tools to support the implementation of measures to reduce seismic vulnerability. Although the results reveal considerable variability in the readiness levels of the six case studies to act for reducing seismic vulnerability, the overall methodology effectively supports policymakers in moving from good practice selection to tailored roadmaps for enhancing resilience. seismic risk seismic vulnerability disaster risk reduction territorial resilience historic area good practice roadmap Adriatic–Ionian region potresno tveganje potresna ranljivost zmanjševanje tveganja teritorialna odpornost zgodovinsko območje dobra praksa načrt ukrepov Jadransko-jonska regija true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2025 by the authors Neznano 2025-07-14 12:21:03 2025-07-14 12:27:39 2025-10-24 03:52:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 1-40 17, [article no.] 5062 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-05-31 699.8 2071-1050 10.3390/su17115062 241430275 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/17/11/5062 1 3f6eafbc-609c-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33584 RAZ_Marzani_Giulia_2025.pdf RAZ_Marzani_Giulia_2025.pdf 1 022E45AB5FDFBEB0BFFDB44F578056A5 28a84d3ffaa3ac7cdb2cb9368e34cd466da472c49293d051e04aac5a0bbe86fb d891d46c-609c-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33585 RAZ_Marzani_Giulia_2025.pdf RAZ_Marzani_Giulia_2025.pdf 1 560ED470608FABE7D5AEA02709AC5824 3147d093864ef16332942aa516e2d52f398946bfb73a86c5d1a18d7b02cb1f66 e1f017eb-609c-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33586 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14929588 0 05758283-609d-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33587 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14929544 0 27e623c4-609d-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33588 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
