Description
VESUVIUS 2000 is an interdisciplinary project aimed at producing a safe and prosperous habitat for the people living around Vesuvius.
To produce this environment requires an effective collaboration between the experts and the public, whereby the danger from the volcano
is used to reorganize the territory and thus produce new opportunities for the people surrounding the volcano. As an all inclusive physico-mathematical-computer
model of the volcano, the Global Volcanic Simulator is a key tool for determining the effects of different eruption scenarios and thus
for urban planning of the territory. Unlike the evacuation plans which tend to manage emergencies, VESUVIUS 2000 aims at preparing the
Vesuvius area to confront future eruptions with minimal socio-economic and cultural consequences.
