Abstract

Natural and human‑caused hazards constitute serious threats to human habitats. In the event of such disasters, little may be done at the moment of occurrence, whereas by identifying them and paying attention to crisis‑management planning and passive defense the effects of damage and vulnerabilities can be reduced and minimized. Preventive crisis‑management methods cover the period before a crisis; in the event of a crisis cover response and confrontation; and after the crisis cover relief and recovery. Likewise, passive defense discussions are primarily before the occurrence of a crisis and involve preventive factors. In the present study, effort has been made—through crisis management and passive‑defense approaches—to identify the hazards present in the study area and to act in a preventive manner in the area, to derive guidelines and principles for the design model of temporary shelter in crisis conditions. The objective is how to achieve a design model for temporary shelter in crisis conditions with minimum of physical and human losses by the William T. Fine risk‑assessment technique, so that the strategies proposed, in the event of crisis, have the lowest level of risk‑exposure. To this end, the study area was investigated in terms of environmental, social, physical‑functional characteristics and also infrastructure and facilities, and finally the current‑state assessment was analysed through a SWOT table, and implementation strategies and policies were proposed, leading to alternative strategic options. After weighting the strategies, the optimized alternative was extracted and based on it the principles and guidelines for presenting the design model for temporary shelter under crisis conditions and with regard to minimizing losses and risk‑exposure have been achieved.
