Coexistence of a Marginal Mountain Community with Large-Scale and Low Kinematic Landslide: The Intensive Monitoring Approach

Mountain territories affected by natural hazards are vulnerable areas for settlements and inhabitants. Additionally, those characterized socio-economic marginality, further favoring their abandonment. The study area is located in Liguria (Italy), a large, slow-moving phenomenon endangers the region. Monitoring such phenomena requires use of instruments capable detecting yearly, millimetric displacements and, due to size, remote techniques which can provide deformation measurement entire extent phenomenon. methodology proposed here couples long-term interferometric sensing data analysis with intensive situ monitoring (inclinometer, piezometers global navigation satellite systems). Furthermore, inclinometric measurements were carried out an experimental, robotized inclinometer. aim frame overall context ground deformation, assure information inhabitants, stakeholders land-planners, secure coexistence Remote provided time series 28 years while instrumentations allowed, last years, better understanding surficial deep behavior phenomenon, confirming data. high-frequency allowed us record acceleration after precipitation peaks. approach, including experimental instruments, proved its viability be replicated similar mountain contexts.
