“…Currently, the monument is in danger, unrecognizable behind a big garden and difficult to identify, with serious risks of fully collapsing if no emergency measures are taken into consideration. The questions that arise, when dealing with the issues of heritage protection are diverse, how to revalue this forgotten monument, what are the procedures to be taken in order to start the work of preservation, what are the useful functions, which help to conserve this ancient heritage to the future generations [12], [13], [14], [15]. The main objective of the study was to discover the history of the monument, with a big concentration on the diagnosis of the problems and pathologies, to finally treat them with the right remedies, which eventually helps the project of intervention: the rehabilitation of the villa into an art residency.…”

The Colonial Heritage is the subject of misconceived interpretations when exploring the historical legacy of French Algeria. The present research interrogates the complexity of the French strategies and the emergence of various architectural styles within the colonial context. The rehabilitation of the Sheridan Villa into an art residency emphasizes the aspirations of the study, from the architectural survey of the monument; to the monograph of its historical evolution, the results indicate severe cases of humid and physical pathologies menacing the stability of the construction. A significant number of similar monuments are dilapidated and hence call for coherent interventions; to upgrade their state of conservation.

“…As highlighted earlier, Holling (1973, p. 21) formalised the resilience concept as “the need for persistence” and has since been applied in various disciplines, though with minuscule variations. Its recent adoption in the construction industry has somewhat centred on a system's ability to mitigate, resist, absorb and recover from the perturbation by maintaining its functions and structure (Fatiguso et al , 2017; Lizarralde et al , 2015). As identified in the literature, the contextual application of resilience factors suggests that the factors can be categorised into five criteria categories, using the open-coding technique (Khandkar, 2009), namely, governance, innovation, reconstruction approaches, resource management and stakeholder expectations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the literature on resilience factors applied to post-disaster reconstruction projects and to develop a guiding framework to assist in their strategic selection and application. Design/methodology/approach A systematic review was undertaken on the literature’s account in four major bibliographic databases to elicit resilience factors contributing to improving post-disaster reconstruction projects' robustness. Through summative content analysis and open-coding of research outputs over the past decade, the factors identified informed the development of a conceptual framework that can significantly impact the built environment’s resilience development process. Findings The review found 24 resilience factors open-coded into five criteria groups: governance, innovations, reconstruction approaches, resource management and stakeholder expectations. While these factors have influenced reconstruction projects, the recently increased participation of clients and end-users in construction management accentuates their strategic selection and applications. Research limitations/implications The research focused on English language articles; therefore, any claim to a comprehensive resilience factors listing can be amiss. The framework provides a platform for developing clear measurement indicators for allocating project resources and determining resilience deficiencies. Practical implications Results confirm the designs and assessment of a resilient built environment extends beyond the traditional structural characteristics, but includes the ability of the integrated network of buildings and infrastructure to support the continuous delivery of the community’s social and economic services in normal and post-disaster settings. Originality/value The review is very specific as it attempts to develop a novel conceptual framework for guiding developers and practitioners in the application of resiliency to post-disaster reconstruction projects.

“…Although the historic environment has inherent flexibility, its vulnerability has become increasingly prominent. Its natural exposure to increased environmental pressures and historical protection requirements often limit the enhancement of its material performance [28]. Thus, many scholars have begun fragility research of the historic environment, investigating various disasters including climate disasters [29], geological disasters [30], fires [31], earthquakes [32,33], floods [34] as well as marine and aeolian processes [35].…”

Historic Environmental Vulnerability Evaluation of Traditional Villages Under Geological Hazards and Influencing Factors of Adaptive Capacity: A District-Level Analysis of Lishui, China

The historic environmental vulnerability of traditional villages (HEVTVs) is distinctly differentiated; however, the priority of relevant emergency management practices still lacks appropriate evaluation. This study proposes a new assessment system to quantify HEVTVs at the district level and an extended analysis of the influencing factors of adaptive capacity. This provides a basis to classify the emergency management of villages under geological hazard risks. Based on the coupled human–environment system, this research designed the assessment with three criteria, six factors, and 13 indexes from the perspective of HEVTVs. Furthermore, a demonstration test was conducted of 148 traditional villages in Lishui, China. The results showed that 64.19% of HEVTVs in Lishui were moderate or above, and that villages with very high vulnerability were mainly distributed at mid-elevation of mountains with strongly sloping terrain. In contrast, low-vulnerability villages were generally on plains at low altitudes. Furthermore, three high-vulnerability clustering groups were identified as critical improvement targets for which special zoning strategies should be proposed. Five influencing factors were found to be strongly related to the adaptive capacity, indicating a spatial variation of the impact intensity. This could be applied to streamline vulnerability optimization strategies according to local conditions.
