Beskrivelse
Summary:Temporary shelters are directly related to human survival in the early stages of a disaster. In that sense, shelters must provide an adequate response, focusing on spatial characteristics that should be relevant to social and environmental expectations. These work studies which spatial attributes of temporary shelters must be explored through a dimensional approach of public places proposed by Holanda and Kohlsdorf. Designing temporary shelters with a specific regard on the user-environment relationship is an activity that must also be based on the compatibility between the principles of Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Logistics, concepts that will be also approached in this study. From the dimensional approach to places, the authors also present spatial attributes that must be explored when seeking the best possible performance for temporary shelters.Keywords: architecture, emergency shelters, spatial attributes, Humanitarian Logistics, natural disaster.
