Description
Summary:This work explores how the rehabilitation sector can significantly minimize environmentalrisk by restoring, maintaining, strengthening, and installing practices in rehabilitation or newconstruction projects. The rehabilitation of affected buildings is considered an effective strat-egy to reduce the impact of pollution on the construction industry and rebuild the resilienceof urban communities by preserving the structures and improving their performance capacity.Encouraging the reuse of more efficient materials and modern technologies and applying sus-tainability principles (Green, Local, and Digital). The results of the sample of 45 buildings sur-veyed and rehabilitated in the field show that around 80% are eligible, based on the building'svarious safety and hygienic conditions, an increasing number of affected buildings needingreconstruction, strengthening, and rehabilitation interest at percentages (17, 33, and 50) %respectively. A perspective on the indicators of failure of the building affected by the Türki-ye-Syria earthquake has been presented. These were observed by analyzing the data reportedand conducting field inspections of the phenomenon. The collapsed buildings index (CBI) andthe main topic, the impact of rehabilitation on building sustainability, have been brought up.
