This document proposes a quantitative approach to computing the image of a city. It begins by discussing how the image of a city is traditionally obtained through qualitative interviews. It then introduces concepts like legibility and imageability that contribute to a city's mental image. The core of the proposal is a multi-step process: 1) organizing city artifacts into layers, 2) ranking artifacts by size, 3) partitioning artifacts into "head" and "tail" groups using the mean size as the threshold, and 4) iteratively applying this partitioning until the distribution of large artifacts is no longer heavy-tailed. This process aims to capture the underlying "scaling pattern" common to cities where there are far more small artifacts than large ones. The

This document presents a new methodology for assessing the vulnerability of road networks using GIS applications. It describes calculating a vulnerability index based on road design characteristics and identifying critical links. The methodology was applied to a road network in Ogliastra, Italy. Maps showed the most vulnerable central links that are on multiple shortest paths and critical for rescue services. Considering population in the exposure index showed more vulnerable municipalities in more populated areas. The methodology effectively evaluates vulnerability in low traffic, low population density areas and can help prioritize road improvements and emergency management.
