Earthquake and social vulnerability. The research project moves from the question of "safe city" posed by the community in the risk society: thanks to the selection of some predominant factors in the definition of the complex risk paradigm, the objective is to identify a feasible way to overcome the gap between a strictly techno-centric approach and a socio-anthropological approach, which emphasizes the vision of risk as a social construct.
