The present paper deals with the investigation of the effects of climate change in the urban systems. The methodology consists in the employment of an MCDA approach, in the form of a system of multidimensional indicators for calculating a multidimensional index of Urban Vulnerability (UVI) as an indirect measure of the urban resilience. Part of the indicators has been processed through the software RClimdex for investigating climate extremes. The methodology has been tested on a real case study in Piedmont, that is the city of Rivoli, in the Metropolitan Area of Turin. The results reveal a higher vulnerability for Rivoli in respect to the city of Turin. This proposal may be considered a reliable tool to support the definition of guidelines and policy implications in the ambit of Climate adaptation planning and Vulnerability reduction.

Abstract
The present paper deals with the investigation of the effects of climate change in the urban systems. The methodology consists in the employment of an MCDA approach, in the form of a system of multidimensional indicators for calculating a multidimensional index of Urban Vulnerability (UVI) as an indirect measure of the urban resilience. Part of the indicators has been processed through the software RClimdex for investigating climate extremes. The methodology has been tested on a real case study in Piedmont, that is the city of Rivoli, in the Metropolitan Area of Turin. The results reveal a higher vulnerability for Rivoli in respect to the city of Turin. This proposal may be considered a reliable tool to support the definition of guidelines and policy implications in the ambit of Climate adaptation planning and Vulnerability reduction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
