Abstract
The Province of La Spezia, in the activities of informatization of the PA, has organized the implementation of a provincial information system of footpaths; object of analysis is therefore complementary and alternative road network for hiking and civil defence.
The system shall be based on G-PASTRO (Gter - Path System Accessibility Outliner Tracks) which is the engine of the GRASS GIS environment and GisClient platform for the management of Web interfaces that can be created ad-hoc to interact and update the system; to store the data will be used PostgreSQL and PostGIS spatial extension.
In particular, GIS is used for proper and efficient planning and management of maintenance activities of mountain environments, besides as a support for any rescue operation.
The implemented features allow you to:
obtain elevation profiles and travel time along any stretch of the path network;
obtain elevation profiles and travel time along a path that is not included in the path network (useful for planning and managing research missing, often in areas not covered by paths);
automatically evaluate how the current trail network covers the territory, being able to identify where and by what route to create new sections of trail by the criterion of minimum energy;
store and update in a single DB all information relating to the conservation status of both trails and shelters, to plan and manage maintenance;
integrate information on the network footpaths with other data related to morphology of the land and the sources of risk (landslide areas, river network, .....) burned areas to assess when and where specific interventions of maintenance and possibly changes to current network;
integration with access points that can be used by emergency vehicles (jeep, helicopter,....).
The application is developed open source environment and can therefore be adapted to meet specific needs. In particular, it is already designed an interface for manipulating individual parameters to calculate the travel time, so you can easily and quickly adapt to different types of people (young / old man / man / woman,.... ..).
