Abstract
This work presents a new methodology to assess the problems that soil instability and river floods may cause to Telecommunication (TLC) network infrastructures. The methodology was applied in a selected area of South Piedmont hit by a disastrous event on November 1994 when landslides, floods and bridges col- lapses caused many damages to TLC network infrastructures. The hazard condi- tions have been defined through thematic maps about flood areas, landslides, lithology, geomorphology and depth of water table using Geographic Informa- tion System techniques (GIS). The results obtained, synthesised in a thematic map of risk conditions, are very helpful in planning t
