  • ADRISEISMIC [Elektronski vir] : report on collected norms and incentives : WPT1 – Harmonization of regulative and incentive-based approaches
    Triller, Petra ...
    The main purpose of the Technical Work Package 1 is to establish a common reference framework concerning regulative, operational and economic-financial instruments of seismic vulnerability and its ... reduction in the Adriatic and Ionian area, by harmonizing the different instruments and approaches. The first activity, A.T1.1: Collection and systematization of norms and incentives, aims at collecting, analysing and systematizing current national and/or local planning and regulatory instruments and approaches to seismic norms and incentives, seismic vulnerability standards as well as related financial and economic incentives in each involved Partner State. To achieve the overall objective of the work package, ADRISEISMIC has firstly developed an in-depth study of the existing regulations in the Countries involved regarding the reduction of seismic vulnerability on existing buildings and related forms of financial and economic incentives. A particular attention has been paid at collecting specific regulations and tools addressing the historical parts of the cities, intended as the more fragile but at the same time the richest of cultural heritage. In order to achieve the best possible comparability between countries, while incorporating as much existing documentation as possible and obtaining its detailed data, it was decided to collect the data in the form of a survey, which has been conducted in two phases. The type of collected material varies from e.g., laws, regulations, incentives, guidelines, manuals, instructions to applications and tools. In the first phase, a basic survey to get a general insight into the current situation in all project partner countries has been prepared. After receiving the first results, the evaluation phase started. With the aim of comparability and obtaining as much information as possible about the existing material, the 2nd stage survey proceeded from the 1st stage survey. Basic topics for the collection have been selected. Besides basic information about the country, there were six content topics determined, namely seismic norms, building regulations, urban planning regulation, seismic incentive frameworks, post-earthquake planning and insurance against earthquake. For each of the norms/incentives from the above mentioned topics the information on the following data has been collected: since when the document is in force, if the document relates to the EU regulatory framework, the level at which is valid, who is the promoter and who are the target groups of the document, which period (pre-7post- earthquake) does it relate to, whether it addresses cultural heritage, etc. For each of the topics, each project partner country provided a brief summary of the current state of norms and incentives in the country and an indication of whether all existing documents are actually included in the survey. In the report, a summary of the first results of collecting existing norms and incentives in all project partner countries is presented in general and per each country separately in dependence on the topic among which the documents are listed. A total number of 88 has been collected, highlighting the high level of complexity that characterizes the seismic vulnerability at urban scale. Some general findings on the situation in the main topics covered can be drawn. Among the topic of seismic norms European Eurocode standards are currently in force in all partner countries. In general, regulation on the national level prevails. All project partner countries have listed building regulations in force at national level. Each project partner country has one document representing “national building law”. Only in Italy, alongside the national legislation, it is possible to find building regulations enacted at a local scale, namely the municipal level. In dealing with the field of urban planning regulations the laws enacted at national level concerning spatial planning and affecting seismic vulnerability have been inserted for every project partner country. Whereas urban planning is a matter of regions, only instruments in force in those ones interested by the ADRION programme have been considered in the survey. As far as seismic incentive frameworks are concerned, only Italy has financial and economic incentives, while Greece and Slovenia collected some incentives, which help in raising awareness of the seismic vulnerability of built environment. Other countries have no existing (in)direct incentives. On the other hand, all project partner countries have post-earthquake planning documents, which are in force at national, regional and/or municipal level and which represent action plans in case earthquake/natural disasters happen. Some of the laws among this topic refer to reconstruction of specific territory after an earthquake. Insurance against earthquake is not obligatory in any of the project partner countries. Optional insurance against earthquake is available in all PP countries. Countries provided slightly different data on the conditions and characteristics of voluntary earthquake insurance. The collected data represent the first picture of the situation in the considered area. All in all, it will be a good basis for further activities within WPT1. The first one of the latter is a comparison matrix, presented in detail in Deliverable T1.1.2. It should be noted that the report has so far included documents collected within project partner countries by the end of January 2021. It is expected that during the project and especially if there is the event of seismic activity in the ADRION area, the collection of norms and incentives will be further supplemented.
