The session welcomes papers dealing with disaster impact on architecture, landscape, urban and cross-border areas, territory, natural (protected) areas, and infrastructure, including but not limited to the following:
  • digital photographic or 3D models reflecting the pre-disaster state of affected areas, for example before and after disaster or before and after reconstruction surveys;
  • decision methods to balance between the (landscape) architecture–artistic–historic value and vulnerability in order to select appropriate preventive retrofit or post-disaster repair methods;
  • ways to consider regional characteristics when selecting prevention measures or when rebuilding after disaster;
  • local culture in vernacular architecture based on historic disaster experience;
  • illustration of historic disasters in image and photography;
  • post-disaster planning interventions (restructuring, reconstruction, reconfiguration, revitalization, renaturation, restoration, etc.), which lead to the positive/negative transformation of a landscape, an urban area, or an architectural (heritage) construction;
  • mapping techniques of landmark perception for consideration in reconstruction after disaster;
  • cultural landscape elements and associated genius loci – the memory of a place, architectural construction, urban area, landscape, or territory that went through a disaster or that developed as a result of post-disaster planning operations;
  • nature-based solutions for disaster resilience, including climate change effects;
  • urban wildland interfaces for the forest and natural protected areas in the city and urban water interfaces, adapting in practice solutions based on resilient planning in relevant cases;
  • ecosystem-based fire risk reduction and adaptation in practice;
  • solutions to minimize risk in areas with major infrastructure and utility networks, through design and urban planning;
  • impact assessment on infrastructure systems with a particular interest in flooding on transportation networks;
  • any other related topics.
