An application of a cost-based programming model for the management of seismic vulnerability of the historic center of San Giorgio a Cremano (Italy)

Within historic city centers, custodians of a timeless cultural heritage, lies an often-overlooked reality: the seismic vulnerability of buildings. These ancient structures are often constructed with techniques and materials that do not meet modern seismic safety standards. In the outlined framework, the contribution aims to address the issue of managing the seismic vulnerability of urban and historical fabrics, implementing a tool capable of coordinating and optimizing resources, whether public or private. This is achieved through the application of a cost-based programming model for the management of seismic vulnerability in the historic center of San Giorgio a Cremano (Italy). Operational areas of relevance for the present study include the conservation of architectural-urban heritage, the management of territorial planning processes and urban redevelopment, and the implementation of economic assessment and programming tools to support decision-making processes.
