10.45-11.15: Introductory remarks. Recap of the August meeting (University of California Los Angeles). Agenda review Massimo Sargolini, Full Prof., Arch., PI of RE-LAND, University of Camerino, School of Architecture and Design Flavio Stimilli, Research Fellow, School of Architecture and Design, University of Camerino

11.15-12.00: Presentation. Definition, evaluation and management of different natural hazards. Topics addressed: - Hazards considered: earthquake, wind load, hurricanes, wildfire, and post-fire debris-flow - Hazard characterization for design applications (building codes, policy documents). Discussion will include

mechanisms for periodic updates as science evolves, and highlight possible gaps in the implementation. Jonathan P.

12.15-13.00: Presentation. Interaction between climate change, natural hazards, cultural landscapes & communities Topics addressed:

- Definition of different cultural landscapes and their vulnerability to the hazards considered; - How climate change may affect each hazard;

- How climate change may affect cultural landscapes;

- Methods of assessing landscape heritage based on community perspectives;

- Identification of case histories from US and central Italy;

- Building capacity for climate adaptation in the cultural landscapes of central Italy.

Robert Z. Melnick, Prof. Emeritus, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Oregon Noah P. Kerr, Research Associate, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Oregon Ahmadreza Shirvani, Ph.D., Reserch Fellow, School of Architecture and Design, University of Camerino
