Human behaviour issues are relevant especially in emergency conditions (e.g.: emergency evacuation and following post-disaster phases) and are noticed at both small (building) and wide (urban) scale. In fact, in case of disaster, the individuals’ safety depends on interactions between buildings vulnerability, related post-event damages and environmental conditions, human reaction to hazardous situations. As demonstrated by the recent research at the BS&T Lab, such interferences are critical in case of different man made (i.e. fire, terrorist acts) and natural (i.e. flooding, earthquake) emergencies because of built environment features like: intrinsic hazard (i.e.: presence of fire sources due to hosted activities and to existing plants; positioning in earthquake or floods hazard-prone areas); intrinsic built elements vulnerability and correlation with event-induced damages (e.g.: materials fire vulnerabilities; seismic vulnerability; structural vulnerability to floods); spatial layout, especially in complex spaces like urban ones, historical scenarios and public buildings, which can have also hinder safety to specific individuals’ categories (e.g.: disabled, elderly); possible individuals’ low familiarity with the layout (i.e.: visitors, tourists); high hosted people’s density, that introduce crowding safety stressors; organization of emergency management to cope with disaster by supporting the population evacuation (i.e.: evacuation plan; monitoring, alarm systems, wayfinding facilities). BS&T Lab work focuses on a behavioral point of view and defines a “behavioral design” (BD) approach for increasing people’s safety in architectural spaces [1]. BD is aimed at adapting architectural spaces depending on human behaviors. Defining how individuals behave in emergency conditions seem to be able to provide an essential issue for safety assessment evaluation and risk-reduction strategies proposals. Representing evacuees-evacuees, evacuees-environment and evacuees-emergency management system interactions could be highlighted during the assessment and design phase, and so focused interventions on built environment and evacuation planning strategies could be proposed.

ARCH is a European-funded research project that aims to better preserve areas of cultural heritage from hazards and risks. The ARCH team with the cities of Bratislava, Camerino, Hamburg and Valencia will co-create tools that will help cities save cultural heritage from the effects of climate change.

The RURITAGE project, funded under H2020, is looking for 6 rural areas located primarily in the EU and in the EEA and 3 in the 16 ENP countries, which would like to transform themselves in in sustainable development demonstration ‘laboratories’, through the enhancement of their unique Cultural and Natural Heritage potential. To join the RURITAGE project as an additional Replicator please fill in the online application form in English and attach any additional/supplementary materials in pdf format or provide weblinks to youtube or vimeo videos you consider relevant regarding your application. The submission of the applications is paper free. The submission period for proposals will be open until midnight 31 March 2019.
