<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The increase in the intensity and frequency of natural disasters in recent years require
new methods and tools to deal with this change. New approaches must be developed to
ensure the safety of cities and settled communities from these events. Implementing
the resilience of a territory requires an integrated approach to act simultaneously on
physical, economic and social reality. The described research had investigated on
possible tools to really improve physical and social dimension. Resilience is assumed
as a paradigm within the project for the construction/transformation of the built
environment. Is highlighted the fundamental role of the social component in
determining priorities and security issues for each specific context. Physical and social
environment are characterized, therefore, as an inseparable dyad for any action aimed
at strengthening the resilience and safety of the environment built. In the
implementation process of the resilience of an urban system, two closely interrelated
areas are identified: for one, the community capability of implementing organizational-
procedural adaptability; contrary, the physical space and the natural dimension, as a
place of construction of the technological-spatial convertibility, and the ecological and
environmental responsiveness. Among the several conditions to ensure adequate levels
of connection and correlation with ecological factors, topological, social and
technological developments of the built environment, in this paper are described those
related to risk communication as fundamental first tool.</p>
