Abstract

This chapter describes a methodological approach based on different research experiences developed in EU contest: CHEF, aimed to prevent damages caused by hydraulic risks to historical and cultural heritage; and RIVES, aimed to safeguard territory by avoid damages. Based on these experiences, paying attention especially to urban fabric and historical contest, it has been created a reconnaissance and evaluative chart. It is necessary to find out and quantify all the specific indicators useful to make a clear and deep knowledge about the territory involved to simplify a security project to avoid damages caused by hydraulic risks. The CBA Method, used to find sustainable actions, aimed to make a safety plan, permits to identify actions to preserve the territory, as limited and erodible resource. With the Geographic Information System, it is possible have a graphical representation about the results. The test area is the historic centre of Genoa.
