1.2 Vision, mission and goals

ISLA's vision is put on the net all the stakeholders who live and inhabit the territory (local authorities, private citizen, researchers) to support and manage the achievement of a sustainable balance of environmental, economic and socio-cultural dimensions.

ISLA's mission is the development and testing of projects, policies and innovative technologies about issues of seismic, geological, environmental and climate changes hazard, resilience, urban and regional planning of complex systems, smart cities / smart polis / smart risk management and GIS systems, training, participation and active citizenship in close collaboration with national and international partners (universities, research centers, SMEs, NGOs, public administrations).

The association aims to achieve exclusively aims of social solidarity through the protection and enhancement of nature, environment, territory, landscape and cultural heritage of the city for a sustainable planning and a defense of citizens through the multi-sectoral analysis of risks with the exception of collecting and recycling of urban, special and dangerous waste.

In particular, the aim of the association is to, in its functional autonomy, promote, organize and manage activities shared with other public or private partners, operating at local, national, and international level, in fields related to its institutional capacity purposes through training, information, research and development. The conduct of these activities is mostly aimed to assist young people, even providing for their involvement.

In order to achieve its purpose, ISLA may perform the following tasks:

A. local, national and international planning; B. fund raising for public sector, third sector and profit world; C. training courses of basic and advanced level, for high schools, public administrations,

associations and NGOs; D. organisation of events, workshops, seminars, conferences at national and European

level; E. enter into agreements and memoranda of understanding with public administrations,

companies, research centers, universities, associations and NGOs.

These aims can be achieved through the organization of cultural events, conferences, meetings with the world of public administration, SMEs and with people involved in the process, presentation of projects, participation and organization of competitions, and any other activity and








/ or initiatives for the achievement of the objectives.

ISLA will ensure its collaboration with other organizations to carry out initiatives falling within their own purposes. For the best achievement of its aims, ISLA , among other things, may own and / or manage and / or take or give on lease assets, whether movable and immovable, make contracts and / or agreements with other associations and / or third parties.








2. Undertaken activities 2013/14

In the 1st year 2013/2014 ISLA has set up a working group aimed at the participation of calls (European, national, local), conferences, national meetings and community.

In particular ISLA lists the submission of the following project proposals and works:

September 26, 2013

submission “Smartrisk - Interdisciplinary Platform for Government of Urban Risks” in reference to the EU COST program, as project manager e coordinator.

3. Institutional activities

3.1 Description of social needs to which the Association responds on territorial and international scale. The association is developed in a local (Aso), national and global context in which disasters have increased due to non-compliance with a policy of prevention. The consequences of this wrong approach involve citizens and consist of an increase of costs for the community (local, national and European), in terms of human lives and environmental, socio-cultural and economic damage. This phenomenon could become a resource to plan a good land management, involving not just the private and public authorities in charge to do it, but all citizens. The multi-disciplinary approach that characterizes ISLA (geology, architecture, urban planning, engineering, computer science, international design) is a guarantee for a holistic, integrated and synergic approach, about topics of interest.

3.2 Networking on the territory ISLA has set up partnerships with other public and private agencies at local, national and international levels. In particular, we list the MoUs and agreements at the regional level:

July 30, 2013
