  • ADRISEISMIC [Elektronski vir] : comparison matrix : WPT1 – Harmonization of regulative and incentive-based approaches
    Triller, Petra ; Kreslin, Maja, 1980- ; Anžlin, Andrej, gradbenik
    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. 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. The Deliverable presents comparison matrices of the existing norms and incentives listed in a two-stage survey and presented in Appendices of the Deliverable T1.1.1. In a one-year period from March 2020 to February 2021 there have been quite a few collection-related activities regarding T1.1. Based on the contributions of all countries, a database of all collected data has been created. The main goal of the comparison matrix is to form the basis for further analyzes of the existing documentation in this work package and to highlight good practices and some shortcomings in PP countries. In the introduction of the document, a brief description of the methodology of data collection within all participating partner countries: Albania, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia is presented. In order to achieve the goals of the Technical Work Package 1, six specific topics, common to all project partner countries, have been identified, namely seismic norms, building regulations, urban planning regulation, seismic incentive frameworks, post-earthquake planning and insurance against earthquake. Chapter Comparison matrix and basic analyses represents the most extensive section of deliverable. Introductory comparison matrix is dedicated to some contextual information about project partner countries, while further subchapters deal with individual topics among which the norms and incentives have been collected. In each of the subchapters, firstly, there is a comparison matrix with data on the collected norms and incentives among specific topic, followed by a summary of the first findings. The parameters in the comparisons are: subsection of the norm/incentive, timeframe, period cluster, reference to the EU regulatory framework, level at which the documents is in force, information if the document is mandatory, target groups, referential period and reference to cultural heritage. Based on the matrix (submatrices), first findings and conclusions have been made. While addressing contextual information, the PP countries have many similarities, but also quite a few important differences, especially in terms of the size and population of each country. In the field of seismic norms, the document, which is in use in all participating countries, is the European standard Eurocode, where each country has its national supplements. It should be emphasized that the use of the Eurocodes in Italy is voluntary. As some countries have additional existing norms in this category dealing with cultural heritage, this is an opportunity to highlight some good practices and to address shortcomings elsewhere. While analyzing building regulations, the preliminary evidence from the investigation conducted so far highlight that territorial scale and responsible authorities vary considerably when it comes to codes for intervening on the building stock. At this stage tailored approaches seem more promising than common approaches valid for all. The preliminary evidence from the investigation conducted so far in the field of urban planning regulation highlights that harmonizing the urban planning regulations can be challenging in the framework of the project, as many documents are in force and, moreover, at different territorial scales. Differences in scale and responsible authorities make difficult to cluster common approaches. Therefore, recommendations to tailor the introduction of considerations on the vulnerability of the built environment in the historical centers seem a more promising strategy in the case of urban planning regulation. In addressing seismic incentive frameworks, none of the documents deals with cultural heritage, which could be a great opportunity for improvement within the project. Therefore, the harmonization of the incentive framework among the project partners involved in ADRISEISMIC project represents one of the more concrete possibilities to enhance the risk awareness in those countries that do not have active programs related to the topic, and also the opportunity to allow the diffusion of economic and financial incentives to intervene on existing buildings by reducing seismic vulnerability. In the category of post-earthquake planning all the countries listed documents related to Civil Protection activities, therefore they have shown a clear opportunity to cluster and harmonize these types of documents within the activity T1.2, identifying the similarities and the differences among the procedures, addressing the different phases of disaster risk management. While studying the category of insurance against earthquakes, it has been found out that none of the participating partner countries has a compulsory insurance or regulations to determine this topic, while all participating countries, however, collected data on optional earthquake insurance and the data are slightly different on the conditions and characteristics of voluntary earthquake insurance. The preliminary evidence from the investigation conducted so far shows an opportunity to further explore possible improvement and harmonization in this category as well. The comparison matrix represents the first picture of the situation in the considered area. It should be noted that the matrices have so far included documents collected within PP countries by the end of January 2021 and consequently, are expected to be further supplemented. The comparison matrix will represent the basis for the following activities, within which a report on ADRISEISMIC common normative and regulative advanced standards for seismic vulnerability reduction as well as for the ADRISEISMIC Roadmap for the harmonization of the existing regulative- and incentive-based approaches will be prepared.
