Land defense from hydrogeological instability is a very important topic, at both national and international level. Every year these phenomena cause huge environmental, social and economic damages. Human activities, especially in relation to land-use change and intensification of agriculture, represent one of the main factors affecting the stability of the soil. For a proper management of territory in terms of prevention and control of hydrogeological instability, to use tools that combine support to public decision-makers with spatial analysis is essential. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with multicriteria analysis (MCDA) in relation to a case study of the basin Menotre, in Umbria; in particular we propose the use of the Dominance-based Rough Set Approach, developed in GRASS GIS 6.

Abstract
Land defense from hydrogeological instability is a very important topic, at both national and international level. Every year these phenomena cause huge environmental, social and economic damages. Human activities, especially in relation to land-use change and intensification of agriculture, represent one of the main factors affecting the stability of the soil. For a proper management of territory in terms of prevention and control of hydrogeological instability, to use tools that combine support to public decision-makers with spatial analysis is essential. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with multicriteria analysis (MCDA) in relation to a case study of the basin Menotre, in Umbria; in particular we propose the use of the Dominance-based Rough Set Approach, developed in GRASS GIS 6.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
