Temporary accommodation planning and design after Qom potential earthquake

INTRODUCTION: Considering the location of Qom on one of the areas with high seismic risk, one of the most important challenges before the earthquake is the development of a comprehensive plan and appropriate layout of the temporary accommodation during the period of rehabilitation. However, there is currently no program available for this purpose. The issue of temporary accommodation after an earthquake is considered from two planning and designing perspectives. The possibility of planning with regard to temporary accommodation centers in the form of inns is due to the presence of a significant number of pilgrims, including the potential for the temporary accommodation program. Considering the possibility of using open spaces such as green spaces, sports spaces and empty fields is also one of the potential to be considered in the way of temporary accommodation planning. Considering the industrial infrastructure and existing facilities and the climate and the background of Qom's desert marginal architecture, the design of the temporary accommodation pattern is another issue. The multi-functional spaces design approach and the transformation of available spaces into multi-functional spaces to provide temporary accommodation for victims of disaster is another issue. In pursuit of this research, the development of a program and the presentation of a pattern of temporary accommodation is carried out taking into account existing potentialities and constraints.METHODs: The data analysis method in this study will be combined using the AHP hierarchical model and the ARCGIS software. Expert Choice Software is also used to determine the importance of the criteria in terms of weight. The SWOT technique is also used to analyze the status of land uses that are compatible for temporary settlement and adopt appropriate strategies. According to the present research, appropriate research method, descriptive-analytical method of field studies and scoping studies was adopted with qualitative approach. Also, a quantitative approach has been used to analyze demographic aspects and distribution of facilities.
