In this follow-on, we will extend our findings and make them tangible and relevant to the community, local authorities and stakeholders, raising awareness and supporting earthquake preparedness using the methodology developed in the initial research project. We will study its applicability and scalability in Gujarat, India, by developing pilot activities and outputs for Bela, based on data already obtained, as a framework that can serve for implementation in similar cases beyond this project.Vernacular housing in heritage settlements is liable to deterioration, damage and destruction due to disasters and human-induced hazards. Inhabitants mainly build this non-monumental heritage as an affordable response to local climatic, environmental conditions based on traditional modes of living and building. If located in seismic areas, it is at greater risk due to the recurrent and destructive threat of earthquakes. But responses are usually activated afterwards, lacking mitigation strategies to diminish destruction.The most common post-earthquake approach is to build anew yet the most sustainable is to reuse, considering building's embedded energy and heritage significance. However, in mid and low-income heritage areas, documentation for a culturally-sensitive recovery and preparedness is usually absent, repairs are costly and slow, and large numbers of affected constructions hinder damage assessment. To tackle this, we exploit advanced documentation technologies aiming towards a new approach to re-construction: a culture of repair, reuse, adaptation and risk mitigation.In previous phases of this project, we combined 3D laser scanning, drone capture, photography and social surveys (interviews) to develop a sustainable re-construction methodology for seismic-prone heritage settlements of Kutch (Gujarat, India). It could improve the chances of a rapid and effective response in case of an earthquake, enhance the possibilities of reusing existing structures, and increase preparedness and resilience in local communities, by defining four strategic guidelines: 1 Immediate post-earthquake action: data obtained to inform damage assessment and planning at two different scales (village - individual buildings)2 Mid and long term study: evaluation of previous earthquake responses, risk assessment and mitigation (preparedness)3 Community engagement and participation: critical for local validation, support and knowledge incorporation. Communities' heritage valuation and conservation: bottom-up perspective to empower a local agency. 4 Applicability via institutional partnerships: overarching structure linking Academia, local NGOs and Governmental Institutions to support the methodology implementation with specific technical skills and local capacity-building. After the 2001 earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.7 Mw scale an owner-driven approach, financially supported by the government and technically supported by local authorities and NGOs was implemented to repair buildings. However, the quality of the result was not always adequate for the specific type of construction, poorly or incompletely executed. These processes could be enhanced and scaled up to reach more families if the proposed methodology is implemented. Advances have been made concerning engagement with governmental institutions and reaching local authorities. However, the gap that needs further study and will be addressed in this project is regarding impact and applicability. Based on the methodology developed, we will create impact at three levels: 1) Institutional: via developing a disaster risk management plan and post-earthquake actions with local authorities; 2) Tangible: via developing and applying an example repair solution; 3) Academic: via technical support, publications and presentations. This will be done in collaboration with our project partners in India, in which each institution will play a specific leading role for each level.

在这一后续行动中，我们将扩大我们的调查结果，使其与社区、地方当局和利益攸关方相关，提高认识，并利用初步研究项目中制定的方法支持防震工作。我们将研究其在印度古吉拉特邦的适用性和可扩充性，根据已经获得的数据，为BELA制定试点活动和产出，作为一个框架，可用于本项目以外的类似情况下的实施。居民主要建造这一非纪念性遗产，作为对基于传统生活和建筑模式的当地气候和环境条件的负担得起的回应。如果位于地震区，由于地震的反复和破坏性威胁，它面临的风险更大。但反应通常是事后启动的，缺乏减少破坏的缓解策略。地震后最常见的方法是重建，但考虑到建筑的内在能量和遗产意义，最可持续的方法是重复使用。然而，在中低收入的遗产区，通常缺乏对文化敏感的恢复和准备工作的文件，修复费用昂贵且缓慢，大量受影响的建筑阻碍了损失评估。为了解决这个问题，我们利用先进的文件技术，旨在寻求一种新的重建方法：修复、再利用、适应和降低风险的文化。在该项目的前几个阶段，我们结合了3D激光扫描、无人机捕获、摄影和社会调查(采访)，为库奇(印度古吉拉特邦)地震多发的遗产聚落制定了可持续的重建方法。通过确定四项战略指导方针，可提高发生地震时迅速有效反应的机会，增加再利用现有结构的可能性，并提高当地社区的备灾能力和复原力：1震后立即行动：为在两个不同尺度(村庄--个别建筑物)的损失评估和规划提供信息所获得的数据2中长期研究：评估以往的地震反应、风险评估和减灾(备灾)3社区参与和参与：对当地验证、支持和知识的纳入至关重要。社区的遗产评估和保护：从自下而上的角度赋予地方机构权力。4通过机构伙伴关系的适用性：连接学术界、当地非政府组织和政府机构的总体结构，以具体的技术技能和地方能力建设支持方法的实施。2001年发生7.7兆瓦级地震后，在政府的财政支持和地方当局和非政府组织的技术支持下，实施了业主主导的方法来修复建筑物。然而，结果的质量对于特定类型的建筑来说并不总是足够的，执行得不好或不完全。如果实施拟议的方法，这些进程可以得到加强和扩大，以惠及更多家庭。在与政府机构接触和与地方当局接触方面取得了进展。然而，需要进一步研究并将在本项目中解决的差距是在影响和适用性方面。根据制定的方法，我们将在三个层面产生影响：1)机构：通过与地方当局共同制定灾害风险管理计划和震后行动；2)有形：通过开发和应用修复解决方案范例；3)学术：通过技术支持、出版物和演讲。这将与我们在印度的项目合作伙伴合作完成，每个机构将在每个级别发挥具体的领导作用。
