CORE Communities
Famenne-Ardenne (Belgium) The Famenne-Ardenne UNESCO Global Geopark in Belgium, encompassing councils like Beauraing, Durbuy, Hotton, Marche-en-Famenne, Nassogne, Rochefort, Tellin and Wellin, is a unique geological hub. Renowned for its extensive karstic phenomena, the Geopark merges heritage conservation with tourism and scientific research. In 2021, the area faced a tornado and severe floods, highlighting the need for resilience. Within RESILIAGE, the Geopark aims to strengthen socio-economic resilience against natural hazards, ensuring both the preservation of its geological wonders and the well-being of its communities. Famenne-Ardenne will focus on the socio-economic impact of disasters and promote the recovery of the local economy, fostering society resilience, boosting territorial activation and considering biodiversity, local knowledge and the role that tangible and intangible cultural heritage can play as drivers of socio-economic resilience. Together we can build a more resilient community! Trondheim (Norway) Trondheim Red Cross (TRC) is an emergency preparedness organisation with a team of 1 000 volunteers and 19 employees, dedicated to supporting and protecting 212 660 inhabitants in Trondheim, Norway. TRC specialises in detecting and preventing distress, providing swift and effective responses to crises, and reinforcing the local community’s resilience. Currently, its aim within the project is to explore the health and well-being impacts of acute incidents, such as landslides and urban fires, through workshops and simulations to understand their psychological effects on populations. Trondheim CORE Lab will focus on Health and Well-being. The aim is to foster an individual’s physical and psychological well-being and protective behaviour in all phases of Disaster Risk Management, with a special focus put on post-traumatic stress. Together we can build a more resilient community! Naturtejo (Portugal) Naturtejo UNESCO Global Geopark located in Central Portugal is devoted to understanding how the landscape evolved for over 600 million years, in order to foster sustainable development of local communities. Climate changes left their marks in outstanding geological sites for millions of years. However, in the last 20 years, large areas of the geopark have been affected by an increasing number of wildfires that threaten natural resources and cultural heritage. This seriously affects the development of rural areas and puts in danger our lives, our families and patrimony. Naturtejo UNESCO Global Geopark will focus on fostering individual and societal interconnections through inclusive social and cultural exchanges, including strategies to promote inclusion of all society groups and social cohesion in all Disaster Risk Management phases. Together we can build a more resilient community! Karsiyaka (Turkey) Karsiyaka, the 4th most populous district in Izmir, Turkey, is an area that usually encounters significant earthquake, heatwave, and flood risks. Despite these challenges, Karsiyaka boasts rich natural and historical-cultural heritage. Through innovative strategies and collaborative efforts, RESILIAGE envisions Karsiyaka as a model for urban resilience, where disaster risk reduction goes hand in hand with the preservation of its natural and cultural legacy. The adaptive governance plans are poised to empower the community, ensuring it is well-prepared to face the challenges of the future. Karsiyaka CORE Lab will focus on Adaptive Governance aiming to increase resilience behaviour related to innovative and adaptive governance schemes and planning, which involve diverse stakeholders and citizens in all the phases of Disaster Risk Management through collaborative processes. Together we can build a more resilient community! Crete (Greece) Crete is the largest Greek island located in the southern border of the Aegean Sea, at the center of the Hellenic Seismic Arc, generating a high and complex seismic risk. Devastating earthquakes have affected the island in both historical and modern times. The most recent one in 2021 caused significant damage to the infrastructure, human lives, economy, and environment of the area. Within RESILIAGE, the University of Crete, with the Psychology Department and the Natural History Museum, aim to mitigate earthquake risk and foster resilience within the local community and concomitantly provide practices and tools that can be applied internationally. Crete will focus on fostering collective active memory as a cohesive element of the identity of communities, reinforcing a sense of place and belonging to be activated as a key driver of resilience. This refers to active memory as a way to consider the past and culture as active resources, enabling communities to go beyond the disaster event and raising awareness. Together we can build a more resilient community!
