Urban security of urban objects affected as a result of terrorist attacks

Abstract

This study examines the development of an optimal urban planning methodology that ensures the safety of buildings and structures in residential areas affected by hostilities in Syrian cities as part of the recovery and reconstruction process to minimize the loss of urban property and population in the event of a recurrence of such hostilities in the future. The study is based on the urban planning methodology developed by the author to assess the destruction of residential areas and is considered its continuation, which allows determining the degree of destruction of residential areas in the radius of the source of destruction by the excessive pressure of a blast wave and the explosives used. The principles of safest urban planning were determined by analyzing and comparing urban planning models and determining the optimal distance between buildings by defining the blast radius and the safest distance at which buildings can be located.
