Analyzing frameworks for designing socially acceptable and culturally aligned temporary shelters in earthquake-prone cold-arid-mountainous regions
Abstract
Experience shows that survivors of disasters are often not satisfied with the shelters provided by relief forces. Therefore, one of the objectives of designing temporary shelters in the study area is to identify patterns that increase the social acceptance of temporary shelters by incorporating limited-time acceptance. Increasing the social acceptance of shelters is one of the main goals of this research. Another objective of this study is to examine the role of temporary shelters in enhancing post-earthquake physical resilience, as well as utilizing indigenous architectural techniques in the design of temporary shelters to enhance environmental resilience. The patterns that need to be applied in the design of temporary shelters to meet the physical-environmental criteria can highlight the necessity of research by interpreting adaptable shelters to the cold-arid mountainous climatic conditions of the Varezqan County. One of the objectives of this research is to design a user-friendly product with high social acceptance as a temporary housing alternative during crises. To achieve these objectives, qualitative and applied analysis and simulation of energy indicators have been conducted in the Design Builder environment. In this study, pre-designed models of temporary shelters have been evaluated in the initial phase. In the second phase of the research, the proposed models are evaluated by experts. In the final stage, the selected model is introduced from the perspective of experts, with an explanation of the optimal physical-environmental patterns as a shelter. The findings of the research indicate that environmental indicators such as safety, hygiene, evoking a sense of home, environmental comfort, cultural compatibility, zoning, etc., as well as physical indicators such as weather-resistant structural form, weather-resistant materials, expandable and modular structure, easy and quick installation, and compliance with dimensions and standards are influential factors in selecting the optimal shelter according to experts.
