Sustainable Hazard Management in the Built Environment by Eco-Innovation and Intelligent Systems

The growing urban areas and increased damage to the built environment because of hazards provoked academic groups and companies engaged in cutting-edge research to share expertise within the current proposal. The project aims to provide a step-change in assessing the capacity to rehabilitate the built environment damaged by hazards (landslides/rock slides, earthquakes, desertification, drought, floods, etc.) through advanced data analytics methods. The project defines advanced measures of sustainable rehabilitation providing a framework for design, construction and the symbiotic relationship between people and the built environment affected by hazards. It also aims to predict risks and post-disaster behaviour of buildings, it investigates the critical aspects of hazards with a multi-disciplinary approach, it reviews the current status of rehabilitation operations, integrates the built environment for long-term disaster risk reduction, and makes it resilient to the increasing threat of hazards. The project bridges the current knowledge i) to enable current capabilities to rehabilitate the built environment through risk prevention and mitigation ii) to generate new approaches to different research methodologies; iii) to enable knowledge exchange among researchers with expertise in complementary fields and share experience in hazard risk mitigation and built environmental research; iv) to train Early Stage Researches to expand knowledge during their secondments; v) to provide competitive knowledge to European companies modelling hazards/dedicate degrees of intervention to the built environment; vi) to improve codes ruling hazard prevention and building rehabilitation; vi) to preserve buildings through new techniques of material rehabilitation; vii) to identify the history of individual buildings located in a specific built environment in the context of hazard risk; viii) to reset the way people think about hardly surviving the built environment because of hazards.
