Abstract:

Far beyond the physical consequences of the impact, a socio-natural disaster raises important issues about the territories and the affected population’s future, mainly if it involves marginal areas such as those of the central Apennines, hit by a long seismic sequence between 2016 and 2017. Proper housing emergency management, capable of offering timely and adequate responses in the immediate emergency, above all in the medium-long term, is both a challenge and a crucial point for any post-disaster policy. This research proposes an analysis of Soluzioni Abitative di Emergenza (SAE) as the institutional response to the housing emergency caused by the 2016-2017 earthquakes: temporary and prefabricated houses installed in the municipalities affected by the disaster, which will offer housing to the displaced population until the end of the reconstruction. Through ethnographic methodological tools and discursive interviews, the research investigates temporary and emergency living and highlights that the relationship between the inhabitants and space, especially the domestic one, is complex, articulated and sometimes contradictory.

Abstract:

The relevance of this work is determined by the growth of negative trends associated with the increasing share of dilapidated and emergency housing in the housing stock of Russia. The elimination of such housing is a priority of the housing policy. The aim of the study was to identify the causes of the sharp increase in uninhabitable housing and to assess the prospects of solving this problem in the near future. The rapid accumulation of such housing is associated with low rates of demolition or decommissioning, insufficient capital repairs and shortage of newly commissioned housing. The scientific novelty of the article is as follows. Using the methodology of regional typologies construction, the authors estimate the dynamics of changes in the situation with housing unfit for living in different regions of the country for 2010-2016; the number and housing supply of the population living in such fund are calculated. Resettlement of citizens from dilapidated housing is one of the most pressing issues relating primarily to the poor and socially vulnerable segments of the population. Many resettled people are provided with obviously low quality housing. Scenarios for changing the share of dilapidated and emergency housing have been developed, including calculations of the number of people that will have to live there under certain housing policy options. Application of the scenario modeling method made it possible to draw original conclusions about the prospects of reducing the time of liquidation of uninhabitable housing, which differ from similar results of other researchers. In the preparation of forecasts, the measures of the state housing policy in 2013-2017 aimed at the elimination of emergency housingwere taken into account. Forecasts with such approaches are used for the first time. The results of the study can be used in the work of Federal and local authorities, in the implementation of the Federal project "Ensuring sustainable reduction of uninhabitable housing", as well as in scientific works on this issue.

Abstract:

Wildfires are a serious and expanding threat in western North America, and wildfire encroachment on human populations leads to widespread evacuation and emergency housing operations for residents and their companion animals and livestock. Veterinarians are frequently part of wildfire response efforts and are called upon to assist in rescue, evacuation, and emergency housing operations as well as to provide medical care for evacuated animals. Although veterinarians are likely familiar with the principles of transporting and housing terrestrial animals, emergency response for aquatic companion animals presents unique logistic challenges. Veterinarians familiar with aquatic animal evacuation, housing, and care prior to a wildfire response can extend the scope of disaster recovery. This report offers general guidance for rescuing, evacuating, housing, and caring for aquatic animals in the wake of a wildfire.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper discusses the outcomes of a participatory research process with homeless parents living in Dublin-based emergency accommodation, during which a critical appraisal of a range of government schemes was coconstructed. The focus is on examining the impacts on vulnerable families of the marketisation of social housing. This is examined through the homeless families’ attempts to procure private rented housing using the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) and their experience of life in family hub emergency accommodation. The significant challenges experienced by homeless families are examined from the perspectives of human rights and capability theory. The paper concludes that the Rent Supplement, Rental Accommodation Scheme and HAP are costly market-oriented schemes and unlikely to provide satisfactory long-term housing solutions, while family hubs are far from ideal from a capability or human rights perspective. Only a significant increase in the direct provision of social housing by local authorities and housing associations can provide ontological security and well-being, and advance human-rights-based social housing.

Abstract:

Introduction:Social isolation and death alone in the prefabricated temporary housing after a disaster has been a social concern. The importance of social ties among the community has been suggested and several reports pointed out the positive effect of “group allocation” which preserves pre-existing local social ties compared to the “lottery allocation”.Japan Red Cross Society recommended “group allocation” as a better option than “lottery allocation” on their guidelines. However, many municipalities carried out “lottery allocation” for temporary housing arrangement after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE).Aim:To collect the information about the accelerating factors and bottlenecks when practicing the “group allocation”.Method:In-depth interview was conducted between August and November 2013. Interviewees were the professionals of disaster management, individuals who were involved in arranging the prefabricated housing and the residents. This research was supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology in Japan.Results:This study found the municipality which carried out “group allocation” had characteristics such as: (1.) the staff in charge of housing arrangement had the information about the positive effect of “group allocation”, and (2.) pre-existing community leaders were able to gather residents’ opinions, and citizens were involved in the decision making to some content.Discussion:Although this study is based on the experience of a limited number of key persons, it would be useful to give the insight about the possible bottleneck for the practitioners who will be in charge of housing arrangement under the disaster setting in future. Also, the relevancy and evidence about “group allocation” should be carefully examined in the context of preventing social isolation as well as various long-term effects. It would be essential that the knowledge and experience will be accumulated and shared between municipalities in a usable and comparable format.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to develop some recommendations on the improvement of housing-and-communal services financing on the basis of the mechanism of public-and-private partnership, and namely on the basis of concessionary agreements. The analysis of the housing-andmunicipal industry condition was carried out with the use of the municipal infrastructure development index. According to the analysis results, the that a considerable part of housing-and-communal facilities are in crisis or pre-emergency condition. It is fraught with technogenic accidents, damage to an environment, additional expenses on compensation of the environmental damage. Besides, the ecological costs of outdated and wornout facilities are high even without emergence of accidents. The conclusion was drawn that development, repair and replacement of worn-out objects of housing-and-communal infrastructure are necessary. In turn, additional financing of the sphere is necessary for this purpose. The experience of the concessionary agreements implementation in the Russian regions is considered. The conclusion is drawn that this experience positive in general, but the mechanism also has some shortcomings, some problems of the legislative regulation exist. Further distribution of concessions demands purposeful measures. The corresponding recommendations, developed by the author of the article, can be useful for regional and municipal authorities as well as for specialists of the companies, working in the field of housing-and-public services.

Abstract:

Natural and human-induced disasters have become more frequent in recent years, and this has increased the need for effective, high-quality, quick, easy-to-assemble, and affordable emergency housing solutions. The purpose of this study is to create a knowledge base for researchers and developers working in the structural and structural-related fields to favour the development of relevant and most appropriate assistance for emergency housing that could meet the anticipated future rising demands. The focus of the research is emergency shelters for the Global South, an area of research sparsely addressed within the structural-related field. The emergency sheltering process has so many variabilities in its duration and unfolding that many agencies suggest relying on the resilience of those in need. This can have dramatic human repercussions and eventually further burden natural resources. To reach its goal, the paper shifts the attention to information from field actors and global agencies and employs a multiple case studies approach, conducted through a grounded theory methodology. The process has allowed identification of a list of structural-related issues faced by users, acting as codes in the grounded theory methodology, the associated challenges for authorities in addressing them, acting as categories, and some ideal solutions, derived from the theoretical coding. The research concludes that the challenges of the sheltering process shall be read through sustainability housing indicators and that the constraints of the former may be stimuli to the application of innovative and more inclusive procedures within the latter. The study fosters a new theoretical approach in post-disaster housing, which encourages more interdisciplinary collaborations and empirical investigations that will potentially enhance post-disaster housing sustainability and facilitate the development of emergency shelter construction schemes.

Abstract:

This article focuses on the comparison between the Spanish architects de La Hoz (Madrid, 1924) and José María García de Paredes (Seville, 1924) projects for ‘ultra-cheap’ housing in Cordoba, how it evolved from a British patent named Ctesiphon, and the study of some of existing buildings erected following this construction system. The aim of this article is to stablish the evolution of the system from the original patent into a new possibility for low-income social housing. This system was used to erect new developments in the 1950s that would relocate people living in huts during the dictatorship era in Spain, thus new “technological huts” were proposed and erected. The research process includes an analysis of the documents and literature available of the patent and the projects themselves, and in situ tests (infrared thermography and samples extraction) will allow to establish the relation between its original inventor, the dissemination of his works in publications from that era, and the Spanish company that subsequently, as a concession of the original patent, introduced that system in Spanish architecture. Analysis of the original patent document allows to study the primitive system as it was invented and for what uses it was conceived. Thus, such a methodology supports an establishment of the technical innovations achieved in order to adapt the system to the Andalusian environment at that time and its use for housing.

Abstract:

In the course of the prosecutor's supervision over the observance of the housing rights of citizens, many problems arise in practice, for example, when the real housing conditions of the resettled citizens do not improve during the relocation of citizens from emergency housing. The authorities offer residential premises of the same size, often in houses that do not differ much in technical condition from the demolished ones, while leaving people with the status of needing to improve their housing conditions. Thus, there is a change of "awl for soap", without actually solving the housing issue. Therefore, the housing legislation needs to be adjusted.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Patients with homelessness in the setting of burns experience more complications and longer lengths of stay (LOS), resulting in higher costs of care and recidivism rates, making appropriate screening and documentation critical to improving outcomes. However, the prevalence of housing instability and its effect on outcomes has not yet been studied. This study sought to describe the prevalence of housing insecurity, or homelessness and housing instability, in patients admitted to an urban burn intensive care unit (BICU) and compare their outcomes to their housed counterparts. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of all adult patients admitted to our BICU over 3 years. The degree of burn injury and LOS were collected. We used the World Health Organization definitions of housing insecurity to identify patients. Physician and case management notes were used to evaluate housing status. Results There were 881 patients observed. The prevalence of patients with homelessness was 2.9 per 100 patients. The prevalence of patients with housing instability was 10.3 per 100 patients. The median length of stay was 8 (IQR 4 – 11) days for patients with homelessness and 4.5 (IQR 2 – 12) days for patients with housing instability compared to 4 (IQR 1 – 8) days for housed patients (P < 0.001). Patients with housing insecurity had similar injuries to housed patients (P = 0.06). Physicians incorrectly documented housing status in 42.9% of patients with housing insecurity compared to case management, which correctly screened all patients (P < 0.01). The electronic medical record correctly screened less than 1% of the patients with housing insecurity (P < 0.01). Conclusions Housing insecurity is more prevalent than previously thought, with 13.2 per 100 patients experiencing either homelessness or housing instability. These patients have similar injuries to their housed counterparts, with longer stays and higher health care costs. Identifying and implementing appropriate screening tools can help provider teams connect patients with resources, reducing costs and improving outcomes. Applicability of Research to Practice Identifying patients at high risk earlier in their care can ensure that they are provided with the appropriate resources to avoid complications and worse outcomes.

AbstractObjectivesWe examined the association between housing type and household emergency preparedness among households in Oakland County, Michigan.MethodsWe used interview data on household emergency preparedness from a cluster design survey in Oakland County, Michigan, in 2012. We compared survey-weighted frequencies of household demographics, medical conditions, and preparedness measures in single-detached homes versus multi-unit dwellings, and determined the unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and the income-level adjusted OR for each preparedness measure.ResultsHouseholds had similar demographics and medical conditions between housing types. Unadjusted ORs were statistically significant for single detached homes having a generator (11.1), back-up heat source (10.9), way to cook without utilities (5.8), carbon monoxide (CO) detector (3.8), copies of important documents (3.4), evacuation routes (3.1), and 3-day supply of water (2.5). Income level adjusted ORs remained statistically significant except for owning a CO detector.ConclusionsHouseholds in multi-unit dwellings were less likely to have certain recommended emergency plans and supplies compared to those in single detached homes. Further research is required to explore the feasibility, barriers, and alternatives for households in multi-unit dwellings in terms of complying with these measures.

Abstract:

Natural disasters cause significant adverse social and financial impacts by damaging homes and infrastructure. These disasters also need a quick and immediate solution to post-disaster housing problems, to provide temporary housing services for short-term disaster relief and reconstruction of lost and damaged houses for complete recovery. Reconstruction of new permanent housing for disaster victims is one of the most time-consuming post-disaster activities. However, time is a vital consideration that should be minimized for the reconstruction of houses for affected populations. Modular offsite construction technology has the potential to enhance the post-disaster housing reconstruction process due to its intrinsic characteristics of time-efficiency. This study aimed to assess the potential of the modular offsite construction method as an approach that could promote the design and construction process of post-disaster reconstruction in New Zealand in emergencies. An extensive literature review has been carried out to evaluate the features of the modular construction method, which can add value to the post-disaster recovery phase. To evaluate the suitability and viability of modular offsite construction for post-disaster reconstruction and to find substantial obstacles to its implementation, feedback was collected and evaluated using the multi-attribute methodological approach by performing a national survey of construction industry experts in New Zealand. Semi-structured interviews with New Zealand experts were then followed to confirm and validate the questionnaire findings. The findings indicate that modular offsite construction technology is a viable solution for providing housing in emergencies or during post-disaster reconstruction in New Zealand, with its time-efficiency and ability to overcome the challenges of the current traditional method by its specific advantages. Reduced need for onsite labor, overcoming local labor resource constraints affected by the disaster, and enhanced productivity due to a controlled environment are the advantages of the modular offsite technology, which are discussed in this research.

Abstract:

Collaboration is commonplace in contemporary public administration. In many instances, policy mandates collaboration between previously unconnected organizations for those organizations to obtain essential funding for public services, thus creating new administrative structures grounded in collaboration. There exists substantial research that focuses on the collaborative process and potential outcomes of these structures, yet their emergence and development is less understood. The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) continuum of care (CoC) model is one such collaborative structure that has been the dominant administrative service delivery system used to address homelessness in the United States since the early 1990s. A historical analysis reveals that policy feedback effects help explain the emergence and persistence of the CoC model from before its origin to its eventual codification in the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009. A policy feedback perspective of the CoC model demonstrates how the interplay of policy, politics, and administration led to a mandate to collaborate to address a large-scale social problem.

Abstract:

This study assessed the contributions of predisposing, enabling, and needs factors in predicting emergency department (ED) use among 270 individuals with current or previous experience of homelessness. Participants were recruited from three different types of housing (shelter, temporary housing and permanent housing) in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). They were interviewed at baseline (T0), and again 12 months after recruitment (T1). Longitudinal data analyses were conducted on associations between a set of baseline predictors (T0) with the dependent variable (ED users vs. non-users) from T1. Predictors were identified according to the Gelberg–Andersen Behavioral Model. Findings revealed two needs factors associated with ED use: having a substance use disorder (SUD) and low perceived physical health. Two enabling factors, use of ambulatory specialized services and stigma, were also related to ED use. No predisposing factors were retained in the model, and ED use was not associated with type of housing. Improvements are needed in SUD and physical health management in order to reduce ED use, as well as interventions aimed at stigma prevention for this vulnerable population.

Abstract:

In response to the climate emergency declared in many German cities in 2019, political decision makers, planners and researchers began promoting climate resilience in policy areas such as housing. This article discusses the potential impact and implementation of housing-market monitoring and housing action plans on analytical and strategic capacities at local and regional levels by presenting findings from a transdisciplinary, multi-level real-world laboratory in the Ruhr city region in Germany. It proposes an integrated multi-level approach to raise awareness and provide an accessible database for housing policies in climate-resilient city regions across administrative levels and sectoral borders.

Abstract:

Disasters caused by natural and human-made hazards often result in mass-movement of populations. Within these movements, companion and production animals can have significant impacts on the internally displaced persons, refugees, and disaster managers. The humanitarian agency Sphere recently identified and highlighted the fact that animal welfare and protecting the livestock of rural communities (before and after disasters) is crucial to the survival of those disaster-impacted communities. Those who are faced with the decision to move will consider the impact and risk/benefit evaluation of housing, losing companion animals, or the loss of production animals necessary for food security and economic survival. Animal impacts also include the potential to spread zoonotic or animal transboundary diseases, raise security concerns within camps, loss of future breeding stock, feeding, housing, and maintaining accountability. Issues involved with animals and refugees in the evacuation decision process, during movement, and in ad hoc, developing, and mature refugee camps will be discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

Approaches from community and population ecology are adapted to study ‘homelessness’ in New York City, where long-standing and continued reductions of critical housing-related municipal services, particularly fire extinguishment, to levels below those needed for maintaining urban population densities have triggered waves of coupled contagious destruction of low-income housing and forced migration of population. Massive destruction of housing, after a delay occasioned by the outmigration of some 1.3 million non-Hispanic whites from the city between 1970 and 1980 has contributed significantly to a serious housing deficit, by direct loss of low-income housing and possibly by creating economic forces which encourage the conversion of remaining low-income units to high-income units. This deficit, which by some analyses approaches a quarter million housing units affecting perhaps a million people, has created a large ‘precariously housed’ population which, after a delay, is becoming overtly homeless as the decline of low-income housing supply collides with increasing numbers of the poor. Elementary mathematical analysis suggests the demographics of those precariously housed, but not yet homeless, strongly determines the dynamics of demand for emergency shelter, implying, for example, that under some circumstances the probability of avoiding homelessness may decline exponentially with time spent precariously housed, and that the number requiring emergency shelter may increase as rapidly as the square of the number precariously housed, depending on exact mechanisms. This paper provides prerequisites to a subsequent fuller exploration of the complex time dynamics of synergistic couplings between contagious urban decay, population migration, precariously housed population, homelessness, and public health deterioration in New York City.

Abstract:

Among the Italian initiatives for social and material reorganization in the aftermath of WWII, the most interesting was undoubtedly the INA-Casa Plan. The plan was designed to counteract widespread unemployment in the construction sector and aimed to provide new and modern social housing to the poorer classes, thus simultaneously responding to the housing emergency. During the 14 years between 1949 and 1963, architects designed, and construction companies built a housing patrimony of remarkable quality, which now becomes an opportunity to develop strategies of urban revitalization.

Abstract:

The article deals with theoretical and applied aspects of the reconstruction of the housing stock, the possible directions of reconstruction of the housing stock in Ukraine are analyzed. The article deals with theoretical and applied aspects of the reconstruction of the housing stock, analyzed the possible directions of reconstruction of the housing stock in Ukraine. It was established that the complex reconstruction of existing districts is a process of transformation of the urban environment, the content and duration of which are determined by interrelated actions, which should be aimed not only at technical and technological transformation, but also on architectural and aesthetic changes, changes in the accessibility and comfort of living conditions inhabitants. The complex approach, as a methodological principle of designing, should ensure normal living and functioning of objects in the urban environment and determine the decision to update all its elements. It is revealed that the effectiveness of the complex approach to designing the reconstruction is enabled to consider all components of the transformation object in the most important interconnections. The article analyzes regional differences in the distribution of dilapidated and emergency housing stock. It was found that the highest values of indicators of the total area of dilapidated and emergency housing are concentrated in Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. This oblast has almost two-thirds of the total area of dilapidated and emergency housing. The fourth part of dilapidated and emergency housing in Ukraine is concentrated in Sumy, Kyiv, Lviv, Zaporozhye, Khmelnytsky, Rivne, Chernihiv, Ternopil, Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk and Volyn regions. But only about 6% of them are in Mykolaiv, Luhansk, Chernivtsi, Kyiv, Zakarpattia and Kirovograd regions. It was established that in Ukraine the predominant type of residential development which is to be reconstructed are the buildings of the 1960s-1980s. For the most part, these five-storey buildings that have already run out of service, are subject to demolition or reconstruction. Accordingly, the reconstruction of these areas of development is a process of deep reconstruction of the urban environment, the content of which is marked by interrelated steps in the design, planning and implementation of reconstruction activities. The organization of reconstruction should provide for the solution of issues related to the expansion of functions such as landscaping and landscaping, the organization of recreation areas and public spaces, renovation of engineering facilities, changing the functions of the first floors of buildings, the organization of parking and parking, and compliance with sanitary and hygiene requirements. In order to reconstruct residential neighbourhoods, it is also necessary to organize internal passages and parking, to provide landscaping yard space, to arrange the functional load of the peasant territories. The experience of reconstruction of the outdated housing stock is researched in this work. Particularly close to Ukraine are the ways, methods and principles of housing reconstruction in Europe. Significant results in the reconstruction of an outdated housing stock were Germany, Poland, Sweden, and Latvia. It is established that possible ways of solving the problem of outdated housing stock can be a complete demolition, as well as reconstruction with the use of modern technologies. Possible methods of reconstruction may be the superstructure of floors with the use of reinforced concrete or metal frame or superstructure of other 4-5 floors with the expansion of the area of development, where the apartments will already meet the modern standards.

Abstract:

Dispossession need not be the product of malicious intentions or a deliberate programme of accumulation. As I argue in this article, it may paradoxically be the consequence of social spending, or what I call dispossession through delivery. Using as a case study the proliferation of temporary relocation areas (TRAs) in post-apartheid Cape Town, I show how what appears as adequate housing from the municipal government’s perspective exacerbates social isolation, perpetuates squatting and aggravates unemployment, transport costs and interpersonal violence. I draw on 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork in TRAs and land occupations, NGO reports and interviews with housing officials to understand dispossession through delivery in these relocation sites. While TRAs began as emergency housing in cases of environmental catastrophes, they have become regularised as a form of state-provisioned housing even in non-emergency situations and, above all, in cases of land occupations. They are but one of a range of technologies of delivery that facilitate dispossession, and I conclude this article with a discussion of how formal housing distribution and informal settlement upgrading have similar effects. When these various technologies of delivery are understood as bound together in a single articulation, ‘dispossession through delivery’ challenges the standard opposition between neoliberalism and social spending that characterises much of the literature and begins to map novel socio-spatial effects of one trajectory of urbanisation in a Southern city.

Abstract:

The housing and communal conditions of the city of Sevastopol are examining. The purpose is to determine the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city based on the study of housing conditions and the regulatory framework in this area. In particular, the analysis showed that there are positive trends in this industry, such as an increase in the total housing stock, major repairs in most of the apartment buildings, a decline in the proportion of emergency housing and an increase in the improvement of housing stock with water and gas pipelines, and heating. There is also a positive trend in the actual and planned indicators, which reflect the level of development of the housing and communal services of the city of Sevastopol. It was revealed that a fairly large number of the population needs to be provided with residential premises, but, on average, only 2% of the population of the city receive it annually.

Abstract:

Abstract Prefabricated, lightweight construction systems, thanks to their quicker construction processes, cheapness, higher portability, and adaptability, are increasingly proposed all around the world as emergency architectures (after natural disasters, pandemics, etc.), and as affordable housing solutions in countries with increasing housing demand. Due to their low thermal inertia, however, these buildings are often characterized by poor thermal performance in hot climates due to indoor overheating. The possible application of passive cooling measures is often investigated to improve their thermal performance. Among others, cool materials present some advantages in terms of ease of application and costs. However, few studies investigated the impact of this passive strategy on the thermal performance of emergency buildings. For this reason, this work evaluates the impact of cooling materials on the thermal performance of a novel lightweight prefabricated construction system (HOMEDONE) based on the assembly of reinforced-EPS panels. First, a numerical model of an experimental mock-up was created and calibrated on experimental data. Then, the thermal performance of a typical temporary housing solution was numerically evaluated under different climatic locations. Finally, the effectiveness of cooling finishing materials is investigated. The potential of cooling materials in reducing the energy demand for the studied construction system is then highlighted.

Abstract:

The results of analysis of housing sector in the Primorsk territory indicate an unsatisfactory situation. Primorye is characterized by a low total housing area per 1 resident, a lag in housing commissioning from the western and central regions of Russia, high share of dilapidated and emergency housing, low share of housing equipped simultaneously with water supply, drainage, heating, hot water supply, gas, etc. The pace of providing affordable housing for residents of the Primorsk territory laid down in regional programs is being implemented, but it is insufficient to significantly improve the situation. Extensive measures are mainly used: stimulating demand for housing, increasing funding for housing construction programs, reducing mortgage loan rates, implementing the Far-Eastern Hectare program, etc. The approaches used to develop the construction industry, based on stimulating demand and financing construction at the expense of the state, do not give the proper effect. In this regard, intensive measures are needed aimed at the innovative development of the construction industry, the use of more modern, economical construction materials, construction technologies, management models for the construction enterprises, etc.

Abstract:

This study focuses on strengthening citizens’ capacity as disaster management agents and on facilitating the provision of housing information by finding ways to prepare for disasters by analyzing the case of housing information centers in Japan. The results are as follows. 1) The victims of the disaster asked for counseling and information about restoration of house and life. The housing information centers installed in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto as housing information support platforms were able to respond quickly. 2) The housing information centers confirmed that it was necessary to expand the counseling system available in case of disaster as a forum for counseling, education, and networking. In addition, it was necessary to educate on the importance of self-help, form networks between citizens, businesses, and organizations, and establish a company selection system. 3) Housing information centers provide a counseling and information service for disaster prevention education and disaster damage prevention. In an emergency, the housing information center serves as a window for counseling and information provision regarding the housing stability and reconstruction of victims.

Abstract:

The company group of the PJSC “ROSSETI” pays great attention to reducing occupational hazard at the facilities of the power grid complex. The analysis of the accidents in the branch of PJSC “IGDC of the Center”– “Orelenergo” revealed that transformer housings installed at the mast-type transformer substations 6-10 / 0.4 kV can’t fully provide the required safety level as they can be slightly raised even without using a special tool, and therefore one can stick his hands or some objects to the current-carrying parts of the transformer substation. According to the statistics of the damages at the mast-type transformer substations 6-10 / 0.4 kV various small animals and birds can enter the electrical installation through small slits between the housing and the transformer, which will lead to different emergency situations. To prevent the aforementioned negative consequences, a universal transformer housing was developed for a mast-type unit transformer substation (UTS) 6-10 / 0.4 kV. The offered design of the housing is universal, since it can be used for the transformers of various capacities; for its manufacture tools and materials with different characteristics can be used. At the same time, the installation of the developed housing will allow power grid companies to reduce occupational hazard, reduce the undersupply of electricity and increase the reliability of power supply to the agricultural consumers. The technical solution presented in the article can be applied for the mast-type UTS 6-10 / 0.4 kV in the post-Soviet countries.

Abstract:

This paper presents the post-disaster reconstruction of the Tōhoku region. Although Japan has always been one of the most prepared countries because of its long history with natural disasters, the 2011 Great East Japanese Earthquake and tsunami might be one of the most significant disasters recorded in the country’s modern history. This unprecedented disaster that has shaken Japan is a decisive turning point for the entire society as well as for architects and urban planners. Almost ten years later, reconstruction work is still ongoing. This paper introduces specifically Japanese architects’ involvement during the three phases of recovery: emergency shelter, temporary accommodation and permanent housing. After the first stage of perplexity and doubt, architects gradually stepped up and started initiatives to resolve the disaster victims’ precarious situation. This article outlines some of the architects’ actions through the three phases of recovery since the 3.11 disaster. Each of these temporalities has its issues and challenges which the urban planners, architects and designers tried to solve using their know-how to help rebuild devastated communities.
