Abstract
After Wenchuan earthquake, there occurred a lot of post-disaster temporary settlements with high building density, which was the first case in our country or in the world. Over 200 victims in Dujiangyan were randomly investigated with questionnaire after they had left temporary settlement areas and had been settled in their permanent houses. It showed that the abominable summer indoor thermal environment was what most interviewees could not bear most, and that the tolerance for the indoor thermal environment related to some objective conditions of subjects’ temporary buildings. Based on the analysis of this relationship, some flaws of architecture and planning design were discovered. Furthermore, in order to improve the summer thermal environment of post-disaster temporary settlement, some strategies were proposed in this paper.
