Abstract

AbstractThe Republic of Fiji was hit by Tropical Cyclone Winston in 2016, and housing reconstruction was enabled through government support. This study was aimed at observing the impact on housing in a rural village consisting of both modern and traditional housing types, as well as identifying the reconstruction process. The results show that the distribution of materials was delayed, and housing quality depended on local carpenters. We concluded that there was a need to train carpenters, and the reconstruction of traditional houses should be considered. This is to reflect the natural environment in tropical islands and enhance traditional building knowledge.
