This paper proposes a risk-based framework for the adaptive reuse of abandoned historic villages in environmentally fragile areas. Applied to Alianello Vecchio (Basilicata, southern Italy), the method integrates natural hazard assessment with analysis of the built heritage’s condition and vulnerability. Geological and geotechnical investigations were combined with a survey of building aggregates, revealing widespread deterioration, collapsed floors and roofs, and highly vulnerable irregular stone masonry. The combined assessment supports differentiated strategies: selective demolition, partial reuse, ruin conservation, and full restoration. The degree of ruin is proposed as an operational criterion to guide safe and sustainable regeneration for cultural and temporary uses.
