5. Conclusions This study describes the first outcomes of an interpretive model for the integrated management of seismic risk in historic city centres, combining advanced geomatic techniques, structural engineering, urban planning approaches and conservation strategies within a unified GIS environment. By integrating detailed surveys, structural vulnerability assessments, and street network analysis the model provides a holistic understanding of complex urban environments. The definition of this model establishes a robust base for seismic scenario evaluations, allowing for the prioritization of interventions and the strategic identification of emergency facilities and critical evacuation paths through the integration of street and building vulnerability analyses. These preliminary maps offer policymakers a solid basis for immediate seismic risk mitigation strategies and emergency planning, using a methodology that is highly replicable for other historic centres and ready for future enhancements through more in-depth correlation studies and weighted vulnerability assessments.
