Description:
A priority task for correct environmental planning is to evaluate Natural Hazards, especially
in highly populated areas. In particular, thorough investigations based on different Earth
Science techniques must be addressed for the Seismic Hazard Assessment (SHA) in tectonically active
areas. Not only the management but also the multidisciplinary analysis of all the SHA-related data
sets is best performed using a Geographic Information System. In this paper we show how a researchoriented
GIS is built and used in a practical case. The Geochemical Geographic Information System
(G2IS) was developed and applied to the Gargano promontory (southern Italy) in the framework of
an EC research project, the Geochemical Seismic Zonation (GSZ) Project. This multidisciplinary
– multiscaling powerful tool is described in its structure, updating procedures and manipulation
techniques. Preliminary results are presented on the detection of geochemically active fault zones
and their correlation with remote sensing data and other evidences of seismogenic structures.
