Eleonora Guadagno, Lorenzo Cicatiello, Giuseppe Lucio Gaeta, Marzia Mauriello
ABSTRACT:
Raising awareness among urban communities about socio-environmental risks is a crucial element for their effective and efficient management, this presentation aims to illustrate some of the methodological approaches employed in an ongoing field study focused on risk perception in the urban contexts of Enna, Macerata, and Bacoli as pilot cases within the framework of the CITIES Project (Climate Initiative for Transforming and Improving Environmental Sustainability), funded by the EU–Next Generation EU Extended Partnership RETURN (Multi-risk science for resilient communities under a changing climate).
The overall goal is to build a methodological framework that facilitates dialogue between citizens and institutions operating at different levels of governance, thus promoting a
more participatory and integrated risk management.
