The paper deals with active disaster prevention of underground space by analysis of city vulnerability. City vulnerability includes structural and risk-based vulnerability. City structural vulnerability is mainly decided by the level of exposure and the degree of sensitivity of city to unexpected events. City risk-based vulnerability is mainly decided by the tolerance of city to risk and the probability of risk. As one of underused resources currently, underground space has the functions of reducing exposure of facilities, lowering sensitivity to disasters and improving tolerance to risks. Developing underground space is an important way to reduce city vulnerability effectively. Active disaster prevention of underground space is defined that underground space is an important and necessary part of city comprehensive disaster prevention system. Point, linear and surface underground space combines with ground disaster prevention space to form city three-dimensional disaster prevention space. We should integrate city space from the three-dimensional perspective and promote the construction of “reducing city vulnerability” in order for city harmonious development. The integration of city disaster prevention space includes three levels of integration in idea, function and entity.

Underground space has been used by humans for thousands of years: for example, to extract mineral resources or water. Against the background of increasing populations, urbanisation, and energy demand, underground space has come back into focus, promising to ease pressure above the surface. However, geological underground models deliver only frameworks for possible uses and we do not know much about the context between geological characteristics and human uses, demands, and changes of underground space. Moreover, governing underground space can be complicated as it involves conflicting objectives and regulatory frameworks. One key objective, therefore, must be to conceptualise and implement new approaches to underground governance, taking into account its diverse uses and various stakeholders� claims. This article introduces the current situation of underground space governance and regulation in the UK, discussing different themes, such as property rights, regulation, planning, groundwater, fracking, and the future of underground space use exemplified by the storage of nuclear waste.

Commercial Street

Planning for underground spaces has become an effective way to use central areas in cities given the steady economic growth in China. The development of underground spaces in mountainous cities has satisfied the needs of the diversification of the city commercial areas and pedestrian movement. Safety issues exist because these underground spaces were originally used for civil air defense. This study was based on the underground commercial street in Chongqing, which is a typical mountainous city. Based on the results of combined fieldwork and survey, this paper summarized current safety issues, which include the not-fully-open exit, the imbalanced exit location, blocked evacuation routes, and the poor awareness of the potential safety issues. This paper proposed a framework of the safety factors for the underground space and synopsized prevention strategies that are specific to potential disasters in the underground environment. The framework comprises ensuring that the exits are fully open, the underground corridors are kept unblocked, the open space on the street is increased for disaster prevention, and equipment security is maintained and managed. At last, This paper summarized disaster prevention strategies, which include ensuring unimpeded exits, balancing the locations of the exits, avoiding blocks, increasing the disaster prevention square area in the underground space, maintaining and managing the security of the equipment.

<p>Planning and construction of Western region cities of Latvia was created in the course of several centuries. Cities of the Courland Bishopric and the Livonian Order – Golding (today’s Kuldīga), Hasenpoth (today’s Aizpute), Windau (today’s Ventspils) and Piltene – developed as agglomerations. City planning by fortress was created around non-regular form market square near the crossroads of main land roads and water roads. The architectural dominant of spatial composition was fortress with chapel or chapterhouse.<br />In the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia on 28 February, 1567 the Landtag of Courland took a decision on building of Lutheran churches, schools and hospitals. Lutheran religion was declared as official religion in the Duchy of Courlandia and Semigallia. The understanding of city architectonic spatial planning changed – the construction of centres was created nearby churches and the main spatial dominant of city construction in 17th century became a church by the market square in the site of traffic main roads’ junction. Planning and road network developed in towns, but construction was created by wooden houses, that were characteristic to rural regions. Cities became typologically different.<br />The events of The Great Northern war at the beginning of 18th century promoted not only the improvement of city defence measures and the perfection of fortification system, but also influenced significantly the further development of cities: street and square systems of functionally different significance became important in planning. City construction, which was complemented with buildings that were for public functions, became varied.<br />The aim of the study: to analyze the development of towns of the Duchy of Courlandia and Semigallia in 18th century, to ascertain the common and different spatial composition characteristics of planning and construction.</p>

Wenchuan earthquake caused the heavy losses in relation to a number of valuable historical and cultural cities in the disaster areas. A comparison to the experiences concerning prevention and reduction planning systems applied in the advanced countries found that the lack of similar ideas before the earthquake contributed one of the main factors to the losses. A further review of the whole post-disaster reconstruction planning system and a field survey affirmed that the protection of the historical and cultural cities was specified in principle, but, in practice, the special protection planning was ignored and the protection endeavor was needed. Therefore, some objective suggestions and opinions regarding historical and cultural city planning and construction were inferred from the viewpoints of disaster prevention and reduction.
