Abstract
This paper focuses on a small Greek village named Vrisa and a specific condition of Lesbos as the arrival island for hundreds of thousands of refugees, aiming to reconsider places in state of emergency and think of flexible future reconstruction strategies which are able to adapt to the new unpredictable conditions of post-disaster. After the 2017 earthquake, the buildings in Vrisa were marked with red, yellow and green which shows different levels of damage. Also, there are some regulations to restrict the fa?ade, square meter, decoration and funding of rebuilding. By analyzing the characteristics of Vrisa village before earthquake and situation after earthquake, we came up with three reconstruction strategies from different aspects to find solutions. Meanwhile, this paper hopes to provide a reference and suggestions for similar cases of post-earthquake reconstruction.

Summary
On 12 June 2017, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Vrisa that a woman died and 10 people were hurt (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Few houses in Vrisa were marked as inhabitable. Most of the inhabitants were moved and distributed to the nearby villages of Vatera and Polichnitos, in hotel resorts or empty houses. Due to the architectural value of Vrisa, the discussion at the moment concerning the reconstruction of the village focuses on what level the houses should be rebuilt exactly the same as they were before. This article aims to analyse the present situation of Vrisa and put forward some reconstruction strategies to help activating this village. It can provide guidelines for places in condition of post-disaster and give some inspired suggestions [1] [2]
