“…Therefore, the development level of advanced technology is an important guideline to evaluate the development level of construction industrialization. Li et al reviewed of the research on the management of prefabricated construction during the period from 2000 to 2013 [21] and found that performance evaluation mainly include environmental sustainability performance [11,15,26], economic performance [4,18], and social performance [38,39]. This paper identified the index system of RCI development level using the technical, economic, sustainable and enterprise development dimensions.…”

Abstract:In recent years, there have been concerns raised about construction industrialization in China, which have initiated a wave of policy change in both governmental and industrial organizations in order to change the mode of conventional construction. However, the current development level of regional construction industrialization (RCI) in China has not been well-characterized. This study screened preliminary index systems in five dimensions: technical, economic, sustainable, enterprise development and development environment. Based on the data gathered from the questionnaire surveys and subsequently analyzed, twenty-two critical evaluation indicators were identified. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was then employed to determine the weighting of each indicator. The evaluation method of the development level was formulated on the basis of the evaluation criteria. Jiangsu Province was used as an example in this study, with the development level of this province being comprehensively examined using a combination of the index system and evaluation method. The results show that Jiangsu has a relatively high RCI development level. The data from analysis scores of five dimensions and twenty-two indicators show that the index system is feasible, with evaluation results being consistent with actual practice. These findings provide a good practical reference for making decisions about how best to guide the development of RCI.

“…That problem seems to be more criticized in the case of temporary housing (Johnson 2007a(Johnson , b, 2008, since the cost of a temporary house can be the same as a permanent one (UNDRO 1982) or even three times higher (Hadafi and Fallahi 2010). This is a critical question because that overspending draws away resources that are crucial for the permanent reconstruction of houses (Johnson 2007b). In terms of environmental issues, temporary accommodation strategies have experienced problems with the future use of the units when they are no longer needed.…”

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.

“…In general, according to most relevant studies (Arslan 2007;Chandler 2007;El-Anwar et al 2009a, b;Félix et al 2013;Johnson 2007a), TH programs have been criticized on several issues: (1) TH delivery time; (2) social and welfare quality; (3) TH locations; (4) cost of the TH implementation process; and (5) impact on the environment.…”

“…Furthermore, according to Johnson (2007a), the site location for TH can have a substantial impact on public expenditures. Johnson (2007a) stated that TH sites located on the outskirts of cities needed further development because of their distance to basic necessities, such as schools, clinics, and so on. Therefore, the site location of TH has considerable effects on the provision of TH as well as public expenditure, in addition to the aforementioned social impacts.…”

“…Additionally, as different cities have various local living standards and characteristics, the weight of these model indicators, criteria, and requirements are different from one metropolitan area to another (Davis 1982;Johnson 2007a). Therefore, because site selection for TH is a process that involves various criteria (Kelly 2010;Omidvar et al 2013) and different stakeholders, decision makers need help dealing with the selection of the most suitable options by considering multiple criteria with respect to the requirements and characteristics of all of the involved stakeholders.…”

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.
