Abstract :
One of the major emergencies in Europe is the presence of illegal waste dumps, where toxic elements have negative effects on the environment and human health. In order to take mitigation measures, IRSA has developed Perimsiti, a software application that allows perimeter, managing and monitoring through WEBGIS all data relating to illegal rubbish dumps. This paper shows an example of its application in the Apulia, region particularly affected by karst processes .
