Abstract

Romania’s regional structure includes different types of hazard-prone areas, most of them very active in recent years. Even though the extreme events that occurred here lately lasted for only short periods of time, they inflicted important damages on local communities and the built environment. The impact on people and the whole context of their existence is very complex and had multiple consequences in the long run: increased death rate, various diseases and posttrau-matic stress caused by delay of intervention by local authorities, failure to provide humanitarian and/or medical support, social and economic decline of the entire area and radical changes of the natural environment. In this paper we will analyze a possible model of intervention and reconstruction for hazard-prone areas, focusing on the role of a sustainable design process and durable planning of new dwellings/communities and we will suggest some strategies for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates community structure, local tradition, cultural diversity and disaster management planning.
