“…a 2 : Land Suitability The authors consider some land properties such as land availability and possibility of capacity expansion in the future (Omidvar et al 2013;Çetinkaya et al 2016), land slope (Chu and Su 2012;Wei et al 2012;Omidvar et al 2013;Kılcı et al 2015;Çetinkaya et al 2016), drainage of surface water and sewage (Chu and Su 2012;Omidvar et al 2013;Kılcı et al 2015;Çetinkaya et al 2016), and finally land safety as key suitability factors of shelter locations.…”

“…• Distance to fault lines and landslide or seismic areas: temporary shelters should be far away from zones with geotechnical risks Su 2011, 2012;Wei et al 2012;Omidvar et al 2013;Anhorn and Khazai 2015;Amiri and Asvadi 2015;Çetinkaya et al 2016). • Suitable distance from sources of danger: factors such as high voltage transmission lines, gas transfer lines, gas and fuel stations, refineries, poisonous gases, inflammable, explosive or radioactive substances would affect the safety of shelter Su 2011, 2012;Wei et al 2012;Omidvar et al 2013;Kılcı et al 2015). So locations of temporary shelters must be as far as possible from these potential sources of risk.…”

The aim of this study is to determine and prioritize the factors affecting optimal location of temporary accommodation sites. Using the opinion of experts and the Fuzzy Delphi method, three main criteria including infrastructural factors, access, and sustainability and 11 subcriteria are identified. To specify the weight of the identified factors, the fuzzy DEMATEL-based analytic network process (FDANP) method is used. After applying this technique, it is determined that the main criterion of access has the greatest weight among the main criteria. Finally, District 6 of Tehran Municipality has been considered as a case study to represent the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method. According to conducted research on different scenarios of earthquake activity in Tehran, the number of displaced people requiring shelters, the area of required space, and suitable places for the construction of temporary shelters are determined. The alternative locations have been ranked using the linear assignment method, and the best prioritized sites to establish temporary shelters for two assumed cases of temporary accommodation are presented. ; separate discussions must be submitted for individual papers.

“…Thus, it is essential to design social spaces as squares, plazas, gardens, parks, etc. (Weia et al 2012), so people can have places that create opportunities to meet and talk to others, socialize, organize activities for interaction between dwellers, and so on. Likewise, it is crucial to provide services and amenities to help people to regain their normal life activities.…”

The number of houses damaged or destroyed after disasters is frequently large, and re-housing of homeless people is one of the most important tasks of reconstruction programs. Reconstruction works often last long, and during that time, it is essential to provide victims with the minimum conditions to live with dignity, privacy, and protection. This research intends to demonstrate the crucial role of temporary accommodation buildings to provide spaces where people can live and gradually resume their life until they have a permanent house. The study also aims to identify the main problems of temporary accommodation strategies and to discuss some principles and guidelines in order to reach better design solutions. It is found that temporary accommodation is an issue that goes beyond the simple provision of buildings, since the whole space for temporary settlement is important. Likewise, temporary accommodation is a process that should start before a disaster occurs, as a preventive pre-planning. In spite of being temporary constructions, these housing buildings are one of the most important elements to provide in emergency scenarios, contributing for better recovery and reconstruction actions.

Many people lose their homes around the world every year because of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, the displaced people (DP) have to move to temporary housing (TH) and do not have the ability to choose the settlement dimensions, distributions, neighborhood, or other characteristics of their TH. Additionally, post-disaster settlement construction causes neighborhood changes, environmental degradation, and large-scale public expenditures. This paper presents a new model to support decision makers in choosing site locations for TH. The model is capable of determining the optimal site location based on the integration of economic, social, and environmental aspects into the whole life cycle of these houses. The integrated value model for sustainable assessment (MIVES), a multicriteria decision making (MCDM) model, is used to assess the sustainability of the aforementioned aspects, and MIVES includes the value function concept, which permits indicator homogenization by taking into account the satisfaction of the involved stakeholders.
