INTEGRATED DATASETS, GIS AND 3-D SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN A LARGE ALPINE VALLEY NORTH OF TRENTO (ITALY)

摘要

The incorporation of geomorphologic considerations in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is usually hindered by the complexity of geomorphologic systems. This paper intends to make a contribution to integrate knowledge of geomorphologic processes into EIA procedures. More detailed elaboration of geomorphologic systems through modelling will enable to forecast change in indicators due to a development. As an example, the preliminary results of a case study near Trento (Italy) are presented. The objective of this case-study is to show how the construction of a new motorway will interact with the flood-propagation on the plain in case of a flooding. Such a study will be a contribution to reduce flood risk.
