Sustainability Model to Select Optimal Site Location for Temporary Housing Units: Combining GIS and the MIVES–Knapsack Model

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(8), P. 4453 - 4453

Published: April 8, 2022

Selecting the best site location for temporary housing (TH) is one of most critical decision-making processes in aftermath disasters. Many spatial variables and multi-criteria indicator problems are involved analysis. Incorrect treatment these components often led to failure previous post-disaster recovery programmes. Wrong decisions caused short- long-term negative impacts on environment people as well wasting capital spending. In this regard, research paper aims present a novel approach that helps decision makers select optimal locations consider sustainability-related by assessing numerous alternatives. This new model based combining knapsack algorithm integrated value sustainability assessment (MIVES) derive makes it possible objectively quantify indicators (economic, environmental, social aspects) satisfaction indices each (or set sites) terms TH location. The designed receive filter data from geographic information system (GIS). Using future programs believed increase stakeholders’ maximise associated with selection.

The making of cities after disasters: Strategic planning and the Central Italy temporary housing process

Cities, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 131, P. 104053 - 104053

Published: Oct. 30, 2022

The interest of scholars in the temporal dimension post-disaster housing has grown past decade, but analytic focus primarily been around design and delivery more sustainable Temporary Housing solutions. However, addressing temporality promoting Building Back Better disaster recovery reconstruction also requires a better understanding regulatory organisational process which produces transitional city. Since strategic planning grows popularity as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) paradigm, an analysis its application outcomes helps capture lessons to inform future assistance practices. To this end, paper reconstructs analyses Central Italy temporary supply process. It combines meta-analysis published documents business modelling uncover links between policy, society, space. results suggest that gaps (related multi-level governance, resource management) are significant explanatory factors for technical social clashes highlighted by analysis. is emphasised importance produce well-informed plans achieve DRR goals potential benefit adopting proposed approach leveraging capacity model simulate

Design of new energy-efficient temporary facilities for emergency housing: An Italian case

Journal of Building Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 80, P. 107945 - 107945

Published: Oct. 21, 2023

The construction of temporary houses (THs) is one the first interventions to support displaced in emergency situations such as earthquakes or floods. In addition safety aspects and fast time, it necessary design THs able guarantee thermo-hygrometric comfort, responding defined energy performance requirements, using environmentally sustainable technologies materials. this regard, best strategy during a non-emergency period, that favors an in-depth study materials systems. frame agreement between Italian Civil Protection Department University Sannio, paper defines methodology highly performing TH solutions. innovative point work lies definition complete exhaustive method investigate several building-HVAC solutions considering minimum requirements. climate heterogeneity territory taken into consideration and, respond diversified family needs, different geometries are proposed for housing module. For them, four possible load-bearing structures (steel, wood, concrete brick) various traditional vertical horizontal opaque closures identified, with two types glazed systems, three HVAC photovoltaic panels. total 324 case analyzed, showing solution each size zone.

A Comparative Study to Assess the Energy Efficiency of Temporary Structures to Guarantee Emergency Basic Healthcare in Italy

Buildings, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(8), P. 2295 - 2295

Published: July 24, 2024

During emergencies, healthcare is generally provided by tents and temporary shelters, without considering the environmental social impact of structures as a priority, in favor swift response. The resultant constructions intended solution often persist for long time. This paper aims to analyze an alternative innovative modular structure designed transitory emergencies everyday life. aim this study assess compare energetic performance adaptive model basic people who are not subscribed Italian National Health System. main goal challenge standard models proposing new able diminish weaknesses current sanitary models, improve conditions, flexibility energy efficiency, thermal comfort occupants. In first part paper, conceptual framework preliminary design described investigating benefits safe space generator care services community. second part, technological requirements system defined comparing use different panel low-impact technologies. efficiency assessed several two climatic areas Italy (northern Mediterranean areas) using SketchUp EnergyPlus simulation. As result, configurations proposed according order optimize model, from both architectural point view (box composition).
