  Abstract:  Negative Effects of Mud Volcanoes on Human Society and the Built Environment. Mud volcanoes are interesting mud venting geological structures with scientific and (sometimes) tourism importance, which at the same time have a harm causing potential. Explosive mud volcano activity – like the ones in Azerbaijan or Indonesia – can cause serious damages to human society and the built environment, while quiet mud discharge – as the mud volcanoes of the Transylvanian Basin – can have minor harmful effects. This study aims to present some foreign and local cases when mud volcanoes produced harms of different orders of magnitude to people and environment.

Keywords: mud volcanoes, hazard, negative effects, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Transylvanian Basin
