Description:
This report discusses indigenous village building methods in earthquake regions. It proposes a methodology for the upgrading of village buildings – to better withstand earthquakes – involving local people themselves and materials and technologies which remain in their hands. The report is prepared in light of surveys carried out in the areas of the Bandar Abbas earthquake in March 1977 and the Zarand earthquake of December 1977.
