- Аннотация: Hazards, all the way up to disasters, in urban areas can be approached in various ways, but by far the most suitable way of examining them is that of focusing on their impact. This has been the approach of choice for scientists in the fields of natural sciences and of engineering, and more recently, also social sciences. By contrast, planning to improve prevention or even post-disaster intervention has not been as deeply researched.The complex relationship between natural and human-made hazards results in complex hazards. We give the example of fire as one of the possible complex hazards (but migration, e.g., climate migration, and epidemics as current hazards can also be consid-ered). It can be investigated how drought or lightning from a storm can lead to forest fires as in the recent example in Australia but also recurrent fires in Portugal, Greece and California which affect urban areas and transport infrastructure. Drought and pollution and neighbouring fire can lead to urban heat islands. Recent examples of fire hazards affecting heritage sites in restoration include Notre Dame in Paris, which is only one example from several of this kind (Bistrița church and Banu Manta in Bucharest, ManegeMilitaire in Quebec City, the Glasgow school of arts, etc.) which can beconnected with the potential of how wildfires may have an impact on the protection of localities against risks. All these can be considered addressing the following research questions.The aim of this Special Issue is to gather multidisciplinary views from (landscape) architecture, urban planning, seismology, geography, structural engineering, communi-cation sciences and history on a set of problems.
