A continuous increase in water levels is being observed in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as globally. Furthermore, the trend is accelerating, and in some coastal areas the phenomenon is more evident in terms of impact on the life of the inhabitants. Between 2013 and 2021, sea level rose by 4.5 millimeters per year. The Venice lagoon, like other coastal areas, is particularly at risk as the sea level could reach 45 centimeters by 2100. The MOSE, (electromechanical experimental module), is a system of mobile dams aimed at defending the city of Venice and its lagoon. The purpose of this study is to detect the perception that coastal and non-coastal inhabitants have of this infrastructure, through a questionnaire with answers on a Likert scale submitted to subjects living in the Po Valley at different distances from Venice. We therefore want to verify the different sensitivities of the inhabitants in relation to their geographical distance from the infrastructure, returning possible correlations.

Climate change increasingly evident, such as global warming, floods and droughts, but also as new epidemics, affects the entire planet living system. From an anthropocentric approach that is in fact devastating and irreversible on several fronts, humanity must rediscover a synergy, a holistic approach that we can call "biophilic approach" where, starting from every individual aware of his influence, even if minimal but decisive (effect butterfly by Edward Lorenz), the entire human society, in its local and global organizational expressions, must find a proactive adaptation that cannot be delegated to nature itself through the biological mechanisms of the evolution of the species. In fact, the extinction of many animal species shows us that the times of anthropocentric development do not coincide with the biological times of the species' adaptation to climate change. The purpose of this study is to identify a paradigm shift, which involves a subversion of the mechanism of natural adaptation, focusing on what are already the "lost games" with the planet, the non-renewable resources being depleted, the ecosystems compromised, and how much and how a biophilic approach can influence a new synergistic adaptation between the human component and the others, to find a balance on the residual capacities of coexistence and survival of the entire planetary system.

The sea level rise, as a result of climate change, is inevitable and will represent one of the greatest challenges for the coastal regions in the coming years. Therefore, the need to assess and monitor the vulnerability of the coastal regions to these hazards has been of growing interest and has also been highlighted in many recent studies. In this context, the main goal of this paper is to analyse and map the vulnerability of the Slovenian coast to sea level rise, a coastal area historically known to be highly susceptible to coastal flooding and erosion. Since there is no single method for measuring vulnerability, we chose to use an index-based approach that expresses coastal vulnerability through a one-dimensional vulnerability index. The study was conducted using a combination of the Physical Vulnerability Index (PVI) and GIS methods to assess the physical parameters of the coastal region (elevation, coastal slope, coastal orientation, bathymetry, presence/absence of protective structures, beach width, and geomorphological processes) and classify them into five categories of coastal vulnerability. The results show that 7.5% of the coastline can be classified as highly vulnerable and 2.5% as very highly vulnerable.
