Os incêndios na interface urbano-florestal: questões metodológicas e de gestão ...
Bouillon, Christophe; Tedim, FantinaWildland urban interfaces (WUI) are expanding, so it is important to shareknowledge and research results, particularly in the fields of humanitiesand economics. In the field of human societies, and vulnerabilities, froman economic point of view, like evaluation of costs and of potential lossesare both needed. An analysis of the governance is important for understandingthe local policies. The relationship with t...
Defining Extreme Wildfire Events: Difficulties, Challenges, and Impacts
Tedim, Fantina; Leone, Vittorio; Amraoui, Malik; Bouillon, Christophe; Coughlan, Michael; Delogu, Giuseppe; Fernandes, Paulo; Ferreira, CarmenEvery year worldwide some extraordinary wildfires occur, overwhelming suppression capabilities, causing substantial damages, and often resulting in fatalities. Given their increasing frequency, there is a debate about how to address these wildfires with significant social impacts, but there is no agreement upon terminology to describe them. The concept of extreme wildfire event (EWE) has emerged to bring some c...
Understanding unburned patches patterns in extreme wildfire events: evidences f...
Tedim, Fantina; Royé, Dominic; Bouillon, Christophe; Correia, Fernando J. M.; Leone, VittorioBurned area is a rather weak descriptor of wildfire activity, since it is not well correlated neither with fire severity and ecological effects, nor with socio-economic impacts. It ignores the heterogeneity in severity distribution within fire boundaries, and the existence of unburned patches (UPs). The purpose of this paper is to provide a first understanding of the trends and spatial patterns and characterist...

A tool for mapping rural-urban interfaces on different scales, in Advances in F...
Bouillon, Christophe; Fernandez Ramiro, M. M.; Sirca, C.; Fierro Garcia, B.; Casula, F.; Vila, B.; Long Fournel, M.; Pellizzaro, G.; Arca, B.The aim of this paper is to present the methodologies, a software and results developed in the European FUME program to map the rural-urban interfaces (RUI). Three methodologies were set up for RUI mapping: two on the local scale (the community scale) and one on the global scale (the European scale). The first local scale method was developed in a French context by IRSTEA. In this case the RUI is defined by a r...
