The ancient towns have some characteristics of the sustainable city. The buildings are preserved, improved and adapted. The Sustainable Development Goals are fulfilled, and Norcia from Italy was a good example of how to live in a town with wonderful history and important economic achievements using local food technology. After the 2016 earthquake,...
Dezvoltarea orașelor de-a lungul secolelor folosind aceeasi tramă stradală, utilizând aceleși clădiri timp de mai multe generații au caracteristicile dezvoltarii durabile. Astfel clădirile sunt păstrate, îmbunătățite și adaptate noilor generații, iar Norcia din Italia este un bun exemplu de locuire având o istorie minunată și realizări economice fo...

Impactul hazardurilor naturale și antropice asupra ariilor urbane
Autori: arh. Maria Bostenaru Dan, ing. geol. Mirela Adriana Anghelache, ing. constr. Andreea Duțu, geogr. Diana Alexandra Gheorghe (P...
Bucharest, Romania’s capital city, the 1977 earthquake, with more than 1900 victims and 2 million $ in economic loses, was used by the communist regime as a pretext for razing the urban tissue with a lot of monuments, followed by a large-scale remodeling project as a strategy for risk reduction. After 1980, more than 1450 hectares of the old land o...
As it is well known, Romania and its capital, Bucharest, suffered building collapses, heavy damage and casualties in the 1940 and 1977 Vrancea earthquakes. The paper presents methods for the assessment of urban multi-hazard risks for emergency planning, using affordable tools. The scenarios for night and day time impact in the pilot study protected...
Romania and its capital, Bucharest, suffered building collapses, heavy damage and casualties most recently in the 1940 and 1977 earthquakes, caused by the subcrustal seismic source of Vrancea, with epicenters more than 100 km far of the city. In this context, the paper evaluates the resilience of Bucharest, capital city of Romania, and especially t...
The Romanian great Vrancea earthquakes and other hazards affect large areas where heritage buildings and communities are at risk. Although the legal and technical framework exists since over a decade, the damage extent and the life safety of communities to multiple threats are not evaluated, as large data bases, sophisticated software and budgets a...
In urban areas, there is a need to evaluate the dynamics and impacts of impending disasters, in order to ensure planning for resilience, emergency actions, and humanitarian support. In this respect, a Bucharest area that suffered a deep trauma in the 1980s was studied. The total or partial demolition of the old urban fabric was ordered by the autho...
This paper investigates the mapping of the impact of
natural hazards as included in several databases reviewed or created by the author. These are:
- The database of the contribution of the session series “Natural
hazards’ impact on urban areas and infrastructure”, convened and
co-convened by the first author over 15 years at the European
Geoscienc...
Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is one of the European cities with a vast protected central area particularly exposed to earthquakes. In our approach, the architectural and urban strategies for patrimony protection, as well as for structural and non-structural management, are based on the ratio of built space qualities, as reported value (cultur...
In urban areas, there is a need to evaluate the dynamics and impacts of impending disasters, in order to ensure resilience and prepare the humanitarian support. In this respect, it was studied a Bucharest area that suffered deep trauma in the 1980’s due to the total or partial authoritarian demolition of more than 450 hectares of the old urban fabr...
This research aims at providing a sound concept and pilot application of a security centre in a study area of Bucharest that suffered a demolition in the 1980’s. As this is at present a protected area, there is a need of security assessment to multi-hazard threats. To date, the concept of cultural value has been studied with scoring criteria and me...
Human settlements, the result of continuous living on a territory, acquire classified heritage values over time, but mostly they keep specific ways of spatial organization building that identify a community. In this respect, the “Convention for Architectural Heritage Safeguarding“ promulgated by the Council of Europe – Granada 1985 – stated “the de...
The Project URBASRISK - “Urban Blocks in Central Protected Area in Multiple Hazard Approach - Assessment, Mapping and Strategies for Risk Mitigation. Case Study: Bucharest Destructured Zone by Razing Occuring in the Communist Period” is financed by the Romanian MESR - UEFISCDI in the PNII, Partnership Program, Contract No. 53/2012. The protected ar...
The book proposes a survey of buildings from the first half of the 20th century in Europe. A first article will give an overview of the spread of the buildings from this time in Europe, focusing on a new construction material: the reinforced concrete, on the basis of a chapter from the doctorate thesis of Maria Bostenaru supervised by Cristina Goci...
The paper evaluates the urban heritage situation at almost four decades after the Bucharest, March 4, 1977 earthquake disaster, followed by a razing of the present Civic Center area and a large-scale remodeling project. In this context, the first results of the URBASRISK Project (2012) are presented as a contribution to a new multi-hazard paradigm...
The paper evaluates the Bucharest urban heritage situation as a contribution to a new multi-hazard paradigm, designed for multidisciplinary purposes. The first results of the URBASRISK Project (2012) are presented, as a case study of a historic zone, demolished in the 1980's, now a district of the present Civic Center area, but designated as protec...
The paper evaluates the Bucharest urban heritage situation as a contribution to a new multi-hazard paradigm, designed not only for engineering purposes, to cope with European urban scale threats. The Romania, Vrancea, March 4, 1977 earthquake caused a disaster in Bucharest, followed later on by a demolition of a district of the present Civic Center...
Romania’s capital city, Bucharest, was struck by multi-hazards in its historybut has also suffered a huge trauma by demolition of 450 hectares, to build publicinstitutions in the 1980s, during the past regime. This zone is now a protectedarea, under the threats of climate and social changes. This research projectfinanced by the Romanian Ministry of...
The paper evaluates the long-term situation created in Romania and Bucharest after the 1977 earthquake damage and the urban razing of the 1980’s vs. other recent disasters. As a result of the March 4, 1977 earthquake, 90% of the killed, 67% of the injured, and 70% of the economic losses occurred in Bucharest. Unfortunately, the 1977 earthquake was...
This book, which is the second volume in a new series “Environmental hazards”, addresses a topic very much neglected in current research: the role of urban planning in earthquake disaster management. It is not a book about earthquake engineering issues but rather about management issues. Social sciences and arts are often disregarded in earthquake...
The focus of this ongoing research is the 3-D modelling of changes in
the urban tissue by catastrophic events. For this purpose protected
areas in the centre of Bucharest were considered. The principle idea was
to establish a reasonable amount of 3-D city models in GIS and CAD and
examine how they can be useful in and used for sustainable developme...

The objectives of this research are: 1) Implementation of a strategic management of protection against global risk by developing the concept of safety-bearer habitat as the support space, which presents a high risk-security level, meaning that it is not liable to be destroyed, as well as the space endowed with patrimonial values that create and ide...
