Examination of the principles of sustainability in architecture after the disaster, limitations, potentials and necessities
The increasing frequency of natural disasters and the rising population in areas prone to natural hazards have raised concerns about socio-environmental impacts. This situation has brought more attention to the sustainability of post-disaster housing. However, providing a vast amount of accommodation for displaced populations in the aftermath of natural disasters, often under the pressure of emergencies, presents a critical challenge in terms of sustainability. Additionally, post-disaster housing is a multifaceted issue that involves interconnected factors, sometimes with conflicting impacts, making sustainability in this context difficult to achieve. This project aimed to (1) examine the sustainability concept of post-disaster housing as presented in previous research and (2) design a new general approach to address this issue, considering necessities, existing limitations, and impediments to achieving sustainable post-disaster housing.
