“…As such, the layout of central and suburban areas, the position of public and rescue services (e.g., hospitals and transportation nodes), and administrative competencies in disaster management cannot be overlooked. Particularly, the typological character of a center (e.g., its value concentrated in or spread over an area [25]), the connection between settlements [26,27], and their environmental morphology affect the continuity of a territory and its vulnerability [28]. Indeed, both punctual services (e.g., education, production, administrative, health, and strategic services) and network services (e.g., transportation, fuels, energy, and communication) contribute to risk analysis at an urban level.…”

Natural disasters happen without warning; it is normally impossible to predict when they will occur, but it is necessary that rescue services reach the disaster site and manage the emergency. This paper proposes an innovative methodology to summarize seismic effects on road, building, and land factors in urban areas. The existing road network is modelled through the graph theory: the arcs represent the main infrastructures, while the nodes represent both the primary strategic buildings and the intersections between the main roads. Therefore, the quantitative approach takes into account the existing road network, the focal areas that play a strategic role during emergency, and their relationship with buildings and territory. The results enable the identification of the minimum urban structure (MUS) with total connectivity at maximum availability. These structures were composed of the paths that will be the priority choice for emergency vehicles after an earthquake. The proposed approach has been implemented to identify the MUS in a medium-size Italian urban center (Pomezia) in the event of a critical earthquake. The methodology is easy to apply and could represent an ideal tool in the preliminary phase of analysis of an urban road network to define new city plans through targeted territorial design, to facilitate decision makers in investment choices, to increase the road network consistency, and to implement emergency plans after natural disasters.

“…Etymologically, the word "beautification" is derived from a combination of the word "beauty" and the suffix "fication" which means the act of making beautiful. This concept was adopted by urban planners in the 19 th century for creating a more aesthetically pleasing living environment of the deteriorated part of the city [5]. Although it has been implemented extensively worldwide, it has never been aimed at slum settlements, due to issues of legality, and this has led to a regime of eviction programs.…”

This study aims to understand the determinants of the sustainable slum beautification (SB) program in Indonesia. The SB program has emerged as one of the successful slum improvement programs. However, many slum settlements in Indonesia failed to achieve the expected result. This indicates that the issue is the sustainability of the program, which demands the active participation of the residents, as a form of reproduction of the social system. This study employs a case study research method. Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan (KWWJ) in Malang (East Java) is selected as the research location, because of its reputation as an example of best practice in the sustainable SB program in Indonesia. The primary data encompasses the social system and practices, and the physical condition before and after the SB program. It is obtained by observation, semi-structured interview and participatory mapping of the physical condition of the neighborhood, as the source for descriptive analysis. The finding demonstrates that the SB program, as an external intervention, is required to thrive agents to produce agencies for the reproduction of the social system and practice. However, it has to be supported by the active participation and support of other residents. As a collective, it is of urgent interest, which holds a pivotal role in the production of the agency. This result contributes to refining the sustainable SB program in the future, especially in Indonesia.
