ABSTRACT

Natural disasters and the adverse human activities are the key events in the history of mankind that form our history and shape our collective memory to this day. People on the planet Earth are not obsessed only with natural hazards, caused by earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions, and troubles unlikely come solely from the action of nature. Disasters threatening the human race can be caused also by people themselves. Both types of disasters cause vast human suffering, at the same time destroying cultural heritage as well, that has the function of determining the identity of social communities. These sufferings should be added to those that can be determined only by in-depth analyses which are derived from the synergy of natural forces and mistaken choices made by the humans, when it comes to their habitat. The proposed strategic plan for protection of built heritage in emergency situations may become the powerful catalyst for the process of revitalization by which the social tissue of community is maintained and restored, creating the symbol of resistance by which it endures each and every natural element and evil men behaviour.

KEYWORDS
