Built Environment Safer in Slow and Emergency Conditions through behavioUral assessed/designed Resilient solutions

Graziano Salvalai (Principal Investigator)

BE S2ECURe project aims at developing methods, tools and guidelines to assess Built Environment (building-infrastructure-open space) resilience and to designing strategies for increasing its resilience and safety. Due to recent disaster events the project focuses on earthquake and terrorist acts as a Sudden-Onset Disaster (SUOD) and on air pollution and heat wave as Slow-Onset disaster (SLOD), but its methodology will be easily extended to other disasters. Risk-increasing factors, such as crowding effects and users’ typologies (i.e. gender, age), will be taken into account. A novel holistic method, using an innovative cross-hazards and user-behaviour centred approach will be proposed and a BE multi-disasters resilience metric will be delivered.
