Abstract
Population growth and the expansion of settlements and basic supply lines (e.g. water, gas, etc.) in the Vesuvian area have greatly increased the potential impact of a volcanic disaster in recent decades. Correct land-use planning is fundamental in minimising both loss of life and damage to property. In this study a Geographical Information System (GIS) has been shown to be one of the most promising tools for the evaluation of the impact of a volcanic eruption.
