Abstract
A terrible roaring makes people confused and all of a sudden, the ground starts shaking. Apparently, disasters are not finished. Houses are destroyed, breathe stop and for a moment, there is silence, absolute silence. All wishes and ambitions are re buried under a mountain of soil
This is a repeated story of Iranian peasant lives that live in instable houses. Iran with many old and young faults is one of areas susceptible to earthquake in the world. The fact is that we can’t escape from these natural disasters, but it is possible to live with these disasters.
How countries incorporating different measures to control natural hazards is highly influenced by the level of scientific development of that country. In other words, incorporation of science in making improvements is what differentiates between developed and non-developed countries.
In recent years, authorities are more inclined toward using risk management methods based on science as opposed to specify higher safety level against natural hazards. In fact, this method of approach is highly dependent on sustainability.
In this paper, we first propose a construct of an emergency shelter. Then, we investigate the potential of its transformation in to a temporary shelter that led to occurrences in Azarbaijan, August 2012.
