| 要約: | Since the late 20th century, wildfires have increasingly disrupted ecosystems, particularly in Mediterranean-climate countries like Italy. This trend is linked to agroforestry and the abandonment of grazing activities, which is worsened by climate change. This study examines the knowledge within Italian society, using data from a survey conducted as part of the European FIRE-RES project, with 152 answers, mainly from northern Italy. The research explores traditional practices, identifies knowledge gaps, and proposes a program to enhance community resilience and to mitigate the impact of wildfires through preparedness and adaptation measures. Results show that, despite a strong cultural connection to the use of fire in Italy, there is a significant gap in public knowledge and readiness to address wildfire incidents among the population. This shows the need to develop educational programs to improve community awareness and adaptive measures to mitigate the impact of wildfires.
