13 A multi-scalar approach
14 Macroescale Strategy Region -Municipality
15 Mesoescale Strategy / Tactics Municipality Community
16 Microescale Tactics Community - Owner
17 Relationships between scales The relationship between scales: influencezones (macroscale), impact zones and settlement pattern (mesoscale), final affectation zones (microscale). The importance of microscale in the transformation of communities territory, from microscale (immediate) to mesoscale. The role of owners. Current trend: reinforce and qualify local administrations for the prevention and auto-protection against natural hazards: creating resistant and resilient communities and landscapes.

162 Towards a common WUI Strategy in Europe
163 Our ten-points strategy 1. WUI as a new land use, new regulations 2. Inhabitability map (safe, defendible, undefendible) 3. Land servitude of protection and safety (owners) 4. WUI Code, at the three scales 5. Provisioning, training, reinforcing municipalities 6. Guide of equipment and operations in the WUI 7. Implementation of risk assessment tools 8. Research program, experience capitalisation 9. Awarenes raising, education, population involvement. A metric to measure preventionimpact & benefit 10. Program for the integral landscape management
