| Abstract | |
The planet is currently facing many natural phenomena and their catastrophic consequences which have affected about 250 million people per year according to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster (CRED) at the University of Louvain, Belgium. According to an evaluation of the same center in February 2010, Brazil was the 6th country in the world to face the greater number of natural disasters in 2009. Nevertheless, the mapping of risk areas and the development of preventive and mitigating plans on disasters, such as planning of actions in advance and adequate provision of emergency and temporary housing, are not frequent throughout the country. Likewise, the resulting emergency camps and the shelter used still seem precarious regarding the real needs of the refugees, who can stay up to a few years in inadequate and sub-human shelters. The objective of this paper is to analyze the existing theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of emergency and temporary housing, and to identify key determinants that may initially guide the development of new and appropriate design in Brazil and worldwide. In a general manner, the goal is the theoretical contribution in the field of architecture and urban planning for post-disaster housing. The methodology is based on the analysis of specialized publications to obtain a set of guidelines from which will be evaluated few contemporary examples of shelters and their suitability on varied contexts (AU) | |
