Abstract

Gli eventi estremi sono uno degli esiti del cambiamento climatico con maggiori implicazioni per il vissuto delle persone. L’articolo indaga l’impatto delle ondate di calore nei contesti urbani, con un’analisi di caso studio. L’analisi intrapresa con il progetto “Ricerca
Eventi Estremi a Torino” si è basata su 120 interviste semi-strutturate agli abitanti di due quartieri periferici. I risultati hanno messo in luce tendenze già rilevate nella letteratura internazionale, in particolare la percezione delle ondate di calore come fenomeni aggravanti preesistenti condizioni di precarietà. I risultati evidenziano anche come aspetti culturali e psicosociali siano fattori chiave per la vulnerabilità dei contesti locali alle ondate di calore.
