Study on the evaluation of the effectiveness of centralized post-disaster housing reconstruction in rural areas of Dujiangyan city after the Wenchuan earthquake

Abstract The Wenchuan earthquake caused severe damage to rural areas in Dujiangyan. Determining the reconstruction plan for farmers’ housing and unifying reconstruction opinions, while ensuring the rational distribution of resources, became a key focus for the government. As post-disaster reconstruction planning progressed and neared completion, comparative and innovative studies on rural land systems before and after the earthquake, as well as patterns of farmers’ housing reconstruction, became important research topics. Traditional studies lack empirical assessments of rural housing reconstruction models from a micro perspective. This paper analyzes and compares the resettlement effects of three typical housing reconstruction models in rural Dujiangyan, aiming to supplement empirical assessments of post-disaster rural reconstruction effectiveness. It reflects the impacts and effects of different reconstruction models selected through collective resolutions in typical towns of Dujiangyan, considering aspects such as development intensity, resettlement efficiency, economic income, and living environment. This analysis helps understand the differences that various reconstruction methods may bring to communities, aiming to summarize past experiences, optimize reconstruction planning and management, and enhance the satisfaction and well-being of disaster-affected people in rural housing reconstruction.

Post Earthquake House Reconstruction Management Based On Community Participation of Monggang Srihardono Pundong Village of Bantul City Yogyakarta

The methodology used in this research is qualitative through interviews, sampling and ending with data analysis. The approach applied is community participation-based reconstruction management where local communities are actively involved in the process of planning, implementing and supervising the reconstruction of houses and infrastructure. The results of this research are in the form of maximizing the role of the community and direct learning to all communities about simple building reconstruction.

Корректировка проекта планировки территории в целях комплексного развития

Land use in urban areas has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. The practical implementation of Law No. 494-FZ on the integrated development of urban areas, adopted in 2020, faces difficulties of both an objective and subjective nature. Public authorities continue to improve the mechanism of integrated development of territories on an ongoing basis for the successful implementation of the project. Amendments are made in respect of those territories whose borders have not been established and, accordingly, are not displayed on the urban zoning map. Often, the integrated development of territories is understood as the reconstruc-tion or demolition of dilapidated emergency housing, whereas this concept has a much broader meaning. In areas free from dilapidated housing, it means the design and construction of not only modern residential premises, but the construction of the entire infrastructure, starting from schools, kindergartens, clinics, pharmacies, etc. Territories and residential neighborhoods have been established on the territory of Krasnoyarsk, which fall into the zone of integrated development. Solving prob-lems related to the implementation of this project is relevant.

Arsitektur Sistem Informasi Rehabilitasi dan Rekonstruksi Rumah Terkena Dampak Gempa Menggunakan Framework Togaf

The study focuses on the impact of the 2018 earthquake in the Province of West Nusa Tenggara, particularly the extensive damage to hundreds of thousands of houses. It aims to assess the initial phase of post-earthquake housing rehabilitation and reconstruction activities and seeks to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. One of the main issues identified is the absence of an integrated information system to facilitate data management and coordination among relevant agencies, often leading to errors and delays in implementing activities. To address this, the research utilizes the TOGAF ADM Framework as an architectural design method, providing detailed guidelines for creating a flexible and adaptable information system architecture. Data is collected through in-terviews, document studies, and literature reviews. The research delves into the vision and mis-sion, regulations, and guidelines pertaining to the rehabilitation and reconstruction process, as well as an analysis of the current business processes and assets owned by the BPBD of the Province of West Nusa Tenggara. The expected outcome is the development of an information system ar-chitecture that can overcome obstacles in rehabilitation and reconstruction activities, resulting in a more effective and efficient process. Moreover, it aims to enhance coordination and resource uti-lization. Ultimately, the study concludes that implementing a TOGAF ADM-based information system architecture can offer a comprehensive solution to the challenges encountered in post-earthquake housing rehabilitation and reconstruction. This resulting integrated and opti-mized system is expected to serve as a valuable reference for relevant agencies in other provinces facing similar situations in the future.

Effectiveness of Socio-Technical Assistance (STA) Program for Vulnerable Beneficiaries: Evidence from Nepal’s Post-Earthquake Reconstruction

This research study assesses the effectiveness of the Socio-Technical Assistance (STA) program when combined with owner-driven housing reconstruction on rural private housing recovery after Nepal’s 2015 earthquake, particularly regarding vulnerable households. Through a quantitative, 304-question survey, the study reveals that 96% of households credited STA activities for accelerating reconstruction, with 95% acknowledging its significance and 78% emphasizing its necessity. Notably, 89% expressed dependency on STA for reconstruction, and 85% believed it heightened disaster risk reduction awareness. In conclusion, the study establishes that STA activities significantly contributed to the successful reconstruction of houses for vulnerable households, addressing such critical aspects as financial support, technical assistance, housing accessibility, earthquake-resilient construction, improved livelihoods, and safety enhancements. The field study presents crucial recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of Socio-Technical Assistance (STA) activities in post-earthquake, rural private housing reconstruction. Emphasizing the need for tailored, demand-driven interventions, the study cautions against relying solely on an owner-driven reconstruction model, challenging the one-size-fits-all strategy. The study proposes integrating tailored interventions into overarching recovery strategies, advocating for coordinated efforts to enhance disaster risk reduction (DRR) awareness and to cultivate resilient communities in particularly vulnerable households as aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11, which focuses on sustainable cities and communities. This research aims to enhance the literature on post-disaster humanitarian shelter and settlement by emphasizing the significance of inclusive and comprehensive approaches to recovery and reconstruction.

Resident Evaluation of Reconstruction Challenges and Lessons Learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake: Recommendations for Reconstruction and Industrial Policies 12 Years after the Disaster

The year 2023 marks the 12th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). Immediately after the disaster, the number of evacuees reached approximately 470,000, but by November 2022, the number had decreased to approximately 31,000. The reconstruction of housing, disposal of debris, public infrastructure development, and overall restoration and reconstruction has progressed steadily. However, a re-examination of the status of industrial restoration and reconstruction reveals that restoration and reconstruction have not progressed in some areas. This research statistically analyzes how the Japanese public perceives the issues around the recovery process and what memories and records they would like to learn from regarding the GEJE. The purpose of this study is to ask about reconstruction issues and lessons learned from the GEJE by conducting a web-based survey with 2000 respondents in Japan. The method of estimation is the use of ordinal logistic regression analysis to statistically estimate whether there are differences in recovery issues and lessons learned depending on individual attributes. The results suggest that those who are interested in, remember, and express anxiety about the recovery issues and lessons learned tend to be men, do not have children, are highly educated, and have a higher income. In sum, many of Japan’s citizens are highly interested in the reconstruction of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, housing, urban development, living environment, industry, and livelihood in the affected areas. In the future, they will play a central role in modernizing, scaling up, and integrating the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries industries, as well as in rebuilding towns and livelihoods. In the affected areas, it will be necessary to draw on the lessons learned from the GEJE and create reconstruction plans for the future, and then, policymakers will need to formulate reconstruction policies that reflect the concerns of the Japanese people.

ARCHITECTURAL ASPECTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MANOR HOUSE

During the war, there was an urgent need for new housing in the liberated territories and throughout Ukraine. Most of the funds and investments have been allocated for the reconstruction of private houses. To date, hundreds of families have received the keys to a new house in the communities of Irpen, Gostomel, Buchi. The work is aimed at considering the architectural aspects of the reconstructed housing: area, shape, style. The advantages and disadvantages of various types of reconstructed manor houses are revealed. The main technologies for the construction of manor houses during reconstruction are considered. The importance of taking into account the means of architectural composition in the design of private housing is emphasized. This article can help architects and builders determine the main directions for the reconstruction of manor houses.

Pathways of multi-hazard post-disaster housing reconstruction among Ivatan Indigenous households

Most disaster-affected populations face the complex task of reconstructing their dwellings with minimal or no external support. However, not much is known about the self-initiated reconstruction pathways of households, especially among Indigenous groups needing to address the competing impacts of multiple hazards. We conducted a case study analysis based in Itbayat, Batanes in the Philippines to understand the housing reconstruction trajectories of the Ivatan Indigenous households after the 2019 earthquakes that redefined their typhoon-resilient construction practices. Using interviews and focus group discussions, factors affecting the reconstruction process were elicited. Then, using concept maps, we explored the linkages of these factors leading to the adoption of the emergent housing outputs. We found that the emergence of new housing typologies that displaced the vernacular architecture was influenced by the compounded urgency to reconstruct houses, perceptions of housing safety influenced by the seismic events, the nature of aid provided alongside households’ financial capacity, and the regulatory barriers affecting traditional resource extraction. To achieve structural housing safety, this study demonstrates the need for policies that enable and guide reconstruction in emergency contexts, as well as systems to channel aid to provide equitable opportunities to build back safer. Additionally, the role of local governance is shown to leverage the use of existing indigenous construction practices salient for rebuilding. This study builds upon the heightened imperatives in the disaster risk reduction practice and policy environments to focus on the multi-hazard realities affecting communities and the use of local and indigenous knowledge to reduce disaster impacts.

Associations Between Lifestyle Factors and Constipation Among Survivors After the Great East Japan Earthquake: A 9-year Follow-up Study.

Disaster survivors experience deterioration in lifestyles and an increase in constipation. After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, some survivors were evacuated for a long term, even after moving to temporary housing and public reconstruction housing. However, annual changes in constipation and the association between lifestyles and constipation among the survivors are still unknown. Overall, 9,234 survivors aged 18 years or older participated in this 9-year follow-up survey after the disaster. Information about the prevalence of constipation and lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity, and mental health) was collected using a self-reported questionnaire. Their dietary intake was categorized into the following two dietary patterns: prudent (fish and shellfish, soybean products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products) and meat (meat and eggs). Odds ratios for constipation according to lifestyle factors were calculated using a generalized linear mixed model. In women, the prevalence of constipation was the highest at baseline (8.7%) and remained around 5% afterward. In both men and women, older age, poor mental health, and poor physical activity were significantly associated with higher odds ratios of constipation. Moreover, a lower frequency of meals and a lower prudent dietary score were significantly associated with women's constipation. The prevalence of constipation was the highest at baseline and remained around 5% in women. Lifestyle factors, such as poor mental health, physical inactivity, and low frequency of meals were associated with constipation. Our findings suggest continuous support for the survivors with constipation for medium- to long-term after disasters.

재건축사업에 있어 재건축부담금이 사업소요기간에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to examine how the reconstruction levy system for housing reconstruction and maintenance projects affects the project period, review major procedures and contents that affect the project period by stage, analyze problems, and improve the system. We are trying to find a solution. Due to the influence of the reconstruction levy system, which has been reimposed since 2018, the total project period and the project period for each major stage of the reconstruction project are changing, making decision-making difficult, resulting in unreasonable results. This shows that changes in government systems and policies bring uncertainty to the overall project period, lowering predictability. Accordingly, in this study, we collected and reviewed empirical data related to the reconstruction charge for each business complex for reconstruction projects in Seoul, analyzed the impact of the reconstruction levy on the project period through statistical analysis such as t-test, and analyzed the impact of the reconstruction levy on the project period. We looked at the causes of unreasonable problems, such as delays in the project period for each major stage and difficulty in predicting. As a solution, it was proposed to revise, supplement, and improve the procedure for calculating the estimated contribution under the Urban Development Act. Forecasting the project duration in a reconstruction project is an important feasibility analysis indicator and decision-making tool. As the reconstruction burden affects the project period, in order to smoothly promote the reconstruction project, a system that can reasonably estimate and predict the project cost share and reconstruction burden is established, and the goal of the urban development project is to provide high-quality urban areas in the city center. We hope that by supplying housing, we will be able to achieve great results in improving the residential environment and stabilizing the housing market.
