This workflow was applied to the case study of the coastal city of Termoli, located in Molise Region (Italy), in Campobasso province. Termoli is a historical city of more than 30,000 inhabitants and, being located on the Adriatic Sea, it represents a well-known seaside town. The GIS database includes the data obtained from the Urban Plan of the town and the data referred to the Structural Aggregates (see Fig. 2), as extracted from the Department of Civil Protection. More in detail, as it was mentioned, to extract the building aggregates unique code and GPS coordinates, a Python script was developed. The Phyton script automatically converts the complex geometry of each aggregate into a representative point, while preserving all original attribute information. Although schematic, the resulting point-based dataset retains the essential geometric and descriptive features of the original polygons. To facilitate remote data collection, an interactive link was integrated, allowing direct access to each building georeferenced location via Google Maps or similar tools allowing for inspections aimed at identifying the structural-typological characteristics of buildings. Then, the generated dataset can be further enriched with these additional information, including a remote survey form for each building, which is intended to be compiled primarily through remote inspection (Figure 3).
