In Italy landslides are widespread natural phenomena causing a significant number of fatalities and huge economic losses throughout the country every year. Information on the spatial and temporal distribution of landslides at national scale is critical for developing landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk maps, as well as, more generally, for decision making in landslide risk management. The paper presents, after a brief review on global and national landslide databases, a new geo-referenced catalog of recent landslides affecting the Italian territory. The catalog, called Franeitalia, includes both fatal landslide events and events that did not produce physical harm to people. It has been developed consulting online news sources from 2010 onwards. The following seven steps have been performed to define and populate the catalog: i) selection of news sources; ii) identification of effective search keywords; iii) collection of relevant news articles; iv) identification of landslide categories; v) definition of catalog fields; vi) information mining from news articles; vii) geo-referencing of the events. Landslide events are classified considering two numerosity categories and three consequence categories. The numerosity categories are: single landslide events (SLE), for records only reporting one landslide; and areal landslide events (ALE), for records referring to multiple landslides triggered by the same cause in the same geographic area. Both SLEs and ALEs are divided in three consequence classes according to whether the event produced victims and/or missing people (C1, very severe), injured persons and/or evacuations (C2, severe), or did not cause any physical harm to people (C3, minor). Information on the landslide events collected in the catalog always includes: data on the location of the event, day of occurrence of the landslide (s), source (s) of information, and number of landslides in case of areal events. Additional information may include: onset and duration of the landslide event, landslide characteristics, phase of activity, details on the consequences. Reports and statistics on the landslides included in the catalog are presented highlighting: the main figures of the landslide inventory, currently spanning from the 2010 to 2017 and including 8931 landslides; and time-dependent national and regional trends, with a focus on the consequences induced by the events. The paper also compares and discusses the figures in relation to other catalogs reporting recent landslides that occurred in the Italian territory.

FraneItalia：最近的意大利滑坡目录

在意大利，滑坡是一种普遍的自然现象，每年在全国各地造成大量的死亡和巨大的经济损失。在全国范围内，关于滑坡的时空分布的信息对于制定滑坡敏感性，危害和风险图，以及更一般而言，对于滑坡风险管理决策至关重要。在对全球和国家滑坡数据库进行了简要回顾之后，本文提出了一个新的地理参考目录，其中包含了影响意大利领土的近期滑坡。该目录称为Franeitalia，其中包括致命的滑坡事件和未对人身造成伤害的事件。从2010年开始，它是通过咨询在线新闻资源开发的。已执行以下七个步骤来定义和填充目录：i）选择新闻来源；ii）确定有效的搜索关键字；iii）收集相关新闻文章；iv）确定滑坡类别；v）目录字段的定义；vi）从新闻报道中挖掘信息；vii）事件的地理参考。滑坡事件的分类考虑了两个数值类别和三个后果类别。数量类别为：单次滑坡事件（SLE），仅记录一次滑坡的记录；和区域滑坡事件（ALE），用于记录由相同地理区域中的相同原因触发的多个滑坡。根据事件是否造成受害者和/或失踪人员（C1，非常严重），受伤人员和/或撤离（C2，严重），SLE和ALE分为三个后果类别，或没有对人造成任何身体伤害（C3，未成年人）。目录中收集的有关滑坡事件的信息始终包括：有关事件位置的数据，滑坡发生的日期，信息的来源以及在发生区域性事件的情况下的滑坡数量。其他信息可能包括：滑坡事件的发生和持续时间，滑坡特征，活动阶段，后果的详细信息。目录中包含的滑坡报告和统计数据突出显示：当前滑坡清单的主要数据，目前涵盖2010年至2017年，其中包括8931个滑坡；以及随时间变化的国家和地区趋势，重点关注事件引发的后果。
