This study analyzes three project process for the reconstruction of urban areas destroyed by natural disaster or armed conflict: the village of Gondo in Switzerland, partially destroyed by a landslide, has been refurbished following an architectural compet ...
The incidence of disasters around the world and the role of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) in relation to reducing vulnerability are reviewed, with reference to the relationship between climate change and landslid ...
In most natural disaster prone areas, vernacular builders have implemented affordable strategies that have proven to perform adequately during natural hazards. Learning from these practices represents a great potential to further strengthen the resilience ...
The engineering of cells for the production of fuels and chemicals involves simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives, such as specific productivity, extended substrate range and improved tolerance – all under a great degree of uncertainty. The achi ...
Recent large-scale blackouts and other incidents have shown that failures in network industries can have serious economic and social consequences. A large body of literature covers critical infrastructures (and their protection), but most of it is confined ...
Phytotechnologies are ecotechnologies relating to the use of vegetation, to resolve environmental problems in a watershed management, by prevention of landscape degradation, remediation and restoration of degraded ecosystems, kontrol of environmental proce ...
Landslide hazard mapping aims at providing very useful information for urban planning and for risk analysis. Though landslide risks represent a common threat to human lives and properties worldwide, the procedures applied for hazard and risk assessment are ...

On account of the current global warming, climate researchers warn of a possible increase in the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather conditions in the future. As an alpine canton, the Grisons are particularly exposed to such events. In the article, ...
With the rapidly growing trend in urbanization, sustainable planning and management of urban engineering systems is gaining more importance. The evolution of engineering infrastructure that is related to transportation, built-space, energy, and environment ...
Technological innovation – combined with scientific research – has always constituted a driving force of transformation in our societies. At the same time, it is no longer simply possible to transfer technologies from the North to the South; it is also ess ...
