Ceptic toilet of the community house
Filter system: a well (10m) with gravel on the bottom graduately filters grey water, and the water is absorbed by the soil.
In Cuscatancingo waste is thrown off the hill and burned. If it’s to much they call the Municipality to pick it up.
Pick up twice a week. Inefficient storage on the streets. For example the dogs eat garbage.
Garbage is hung or raised from the ground in order to keep dogs away.

Repetetiveness & Vulnerability
Vulnerability most high during winter/rainy seasonNGO & Municipality raise awareness and build capacity all year long. Participation by habitants is very low during the summer season and very high during winter, more reactionairy than prevention focus.
Community house:During disaster this house is used to shelter up to 15 families.

High vulnerability
Aside from earthquakes, floods and landslides > heavy rain, trees falling and strong winds could severely damage the houses.
Municipality mainly focus on public space/infrastructure due to regulations. (In collaboration) Procomes built ‘retention’ walls to slow down the landslides, in order to have more time for the evacuation process.

Integretion R5 Angular analysis
-The analysis on integration is based on the connec-tions that streets have. People intend to measure distances and the number of times they have to turn to get to their destination. This graph shows the most integrated (vital) streets according to this phenomenon.
-The angular analysis is based on the angles streets make with one another. People intend to choose less sharp angles while walking their routes. The graph shows the streets that are most vital accord-ing to this phenomenon.

Map the contemporary conditions:
To create a fi gure of the urban Vitality of sector Mon-treal we will investigate and map the three diff erent disciplines: the liveability, the urban conditions and the sustainability. The liveability, in three or four most vulnerable communities, the urban conditions and the sustainability on the scale of the whole section of Montreal
Determine the most vulnarable, disaster prone
communities:
- In which communities did disasters occur in the last ten years?- In which communities disasters are most likely to occur?
Tracing back incentives in the post-
disaster proces:
- Where/which/ by who: were post disaster responses implemented?- What were the objectives of the post disaster responses.
- interview with Victor.- interview with ‘geistion de Riesgos’.
- interview with Victor.- Interview with involved NGO’s.- Visit to diff erent projects.- Put up and distribute survey among communities.
discipline liveability:- Put up and distribute survey for inhabitants.- observation trips (help of GIS and Photographs) to dif-ferent communities in order to create analysis.- Interview with community workers (Victor and Hector).
discipline Urban conditions:- create analysis maps on the scale of Sector Montreal increasing in detail on the scale of communities (services, economy, networks, connectivity, infrastructure, etc.)- interview with offi cials about former development and future plans (Ricardo Barrera, Victor).
discipline Sustainability:- Interview with offi cials (protecion civil, desarollo urbano, comunidad, schools). -
1. Interview with Victor.
2. Observation trips to diff erent communities, in order to create analysis (possibility to team up in to groups, so two community workers needed).
3. Create a survey and distribute among diff erent communities.
4. Interview with department of Protection civll.
5. Visit projects and interview the NGO’s that imple-mented disaster responses (Procomes, Oxfam, Fundasal).
6. Interview with Ricardo Barrera on the future plans.
7. Interview in schools and communities on educa-tion programme.

Santa Tecla (plan overview week 14 to 16)
Tracing back incentives in the post-disaster proces:- exploration into the incentives that caused an effect on the liveability of the affected people, the urban conditions of Santa Tecla or the sustainability.
Tracing back the flow of people:-where did the affected people in the emeregency camp came from (inside or outside of the city)?-where did the affected people left after ‘cafetalon’ closed (did they went back to their old place or have they been replaced)?
Current plans:-what are the plans for the future of Las Collinas (dif-ferent stakeholders)?-what are the plans for the future of the three provi-sional settlements (different stakeholder)?
Evolutionairy mapCreating a graph of gathered data, in the disciplines that has there influences in the spatiality of Santa Tecla, focussing on the timeframe of the last 10 years.
Contemporary conditions:mapping the Urban Vitality on the scale of liveability, urban conditions and sustain-ability in transitional settlements.
- Visit settlement ‘poly deportivo’.- Visit settlement ‘Pequena Inglaterra’ - Interview affected people in transitional shelters.- Interview affected people in Las Collinas.- Interview with officials that worked in Cafetalon.
- Interview local government- Interview affected people in transitional shelters.- Interview affected people in Las Collinas.- Interview national Government.- Interview civil organization ConFena.
- Visit provisional settlements.- Interview affected people in transitional settlements- create analysis maps, space syntax, observations, etc.
- all the actions above will contribute to the evolutionairy map.
- Visit provisional shelter settlements.- Interview affected people in transitional shelters.- Interview affected people in Las Collinas.- Interview with officials that worked in Cafetalon.- Interview NGO’s that worked in the post-disaster pro-cess.
1. Appointment to visit Poly Deportivo, and inter-view with affected people to create an understand-ing of the people flow(possibility to split up into two groups: one to observe and track, the other to interview inhabitants).
2. Interview with official that worked in Cafetalon (Humberto de Paz), to create a list of facts about people, organizations and responses in order to map the process in more detail (Municipality, NGO archive?).
3. Interview with ConFena and current or old inhab-itants of Las Collinas.
4. Interview with NGO’s that helped in the response on the 2001 earthquake and landslide (Care, Plan).
5. Interview with National Government in order to get an insight of the plans on Las Collinas.
6. Maps: munipality, GIS, OPAMSS etc.

Downtown (CHSS)
Cultural-historic analysis:
In relation to all case studies we investigate certain repetitive phenomona, for example: individualism, political ineffi ciency in collarboration and landowner-ship. Downtown contains key information about the history of detail. We aim to go in detail in certain time periods: 1986 earthquake and 1980-1992 the infl u-ence of civil war.
Occupation by population El Salvador:
We aim to investigate the daily fl ow of people in and out DowntownInvestigating the occupation of street > buildingsIncoming migration and outgoing migration, includ-ing the informal settlements
Economic fl ow:
We aim to investigate the quantity of market stalls and other economic activity. The typologies of street profi les.For now we focus on the scale of liveability, the impor-tance of the economic fl ow for an individual/family.
Interview with:- inhabitants/local formal/informal workers- landowners- offi cials/politicians
Map transport system: e.g. autobusses
- map typology of marketstalls- map product fl ow (Downtown + Latiendonna): investi-gate prices compara to other market- map the crowdedness of public space like streets, squares and parks
