The ComPaRe project generated a range of tangible and intangible results that contribute significantly to the understanding, teaching, and practice of holistic post-disaster reconstruction.

At the center of the project stands the Manual for Study Programmes on the Reconstruction of Destroyed Urban Structures, the final intellectual output synthesizing the project’s interdisciplinary work. The Manual offers a coherent framework for approaching reconstruction in a way that is technically informed, culturally sensitive, and socially inclusive. It is intended as a resource for educators, researchers, and practitioners, supporting the evolution of a new reconstruction culture.

Among the core outcomes was the development of interdisciplinary methodologies that connect architecture, engineering, urban planning, cultural heritage, and social sciences. These were tested and refined through joint staff training events, student workshops, and intensive teaching programs. The project created a strong base of content, methods, and pedagogical tools, forming the backbone of a transferable educational structure that can support future curriculum development in higher education.

Another major result was the application of digital technologies to survey, document, and visualize postdisaster conditions. Laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, and interactive mapping techniques were employed to generate 3D and BIM models that help represent both the physical damage and the cultural memory embedded in affected areas. These tools, developed and tested in real-life environments, demonstrated the potential of digital environments to inform decision-making and community dialogue around reconstruction.

A distinctive aspect of ComPaRe was its emphasis on community involvement and participatory processes. Fieldwork in the case study of Accumoli involved international students, educators, local stakeholders, and residents in workshops and surveys that examined not only physical loss but also social and cultural disruption. Students developed scenario-based approaches to reconstruction, grounded in local needs and informed by historical and cultural context. These activities deepened participants’ understanding of the intangible dimensions of destruction and recovery, while also raising awareness in the local community about inclusive and sustainable reconstruction strategies.

An important result was the development of a database of images and local knowledge related to Accumoli, combining historical documentation, community-contributed content, and digital surveys. This evolving repository offers valuable insights into the town’s past and present, and serves both as a memory archive and as a resource for planning and education.

Although no formal policy guidelines were adopted, project results—particularly from the Accumoli case study—were shared with local authorities and stakeholders as contributions to ongoing discussions about the area’s future. This created opportunities for dialogue between citizens, experts, and institutional actors, and offered new perspectives on integrating community voices into reconstruction processes.

The project also strengthened collaboration between academic and professional institutions across disciplines and countries. It fostered international exchange, built new capacities among educators and students, and promoted a shared understanding of the complexity of reconstruction challenges. In doing so, ComPaRe contributed to the foundation of a future School of Reconstruction—envisioned as a platform for sustained teaching, research, and public engagement in post-disaster recovery.

In summary, ComPaRe produced a combination of concrete outputs (the Manual, digital models, image and knowledge database, teaching materials) and lasting results (new skills, knowledge, institutional cooperation, and heightened community awareness), offering a robust and transferable approach to reconstruction that balances technological innovation with cultural and social sensitivity.
