The integrated survey as the base for urban planning

Due to the earthquake that on April 2009 severely hit the Abruzzo region, in 2011 the Municipality of Navelli signed an agreement with the DICATeA (University of Parma) to develop scientific and technical activities to implement a project for the reconstruction of the old town centers of Navelli and Civitaretenga. DICATeA used an original and highly interdisciplinary methodological approach, aiming at the development of an information system, resulting easily accessible, updatable and interfaceable with other existing archives. This approach allows for a more fundamental survey, featured as a critical instrument of knowledge and as a way through which the built environment reveals the multiple information it contains.
