The Impact of Post-disaster Housing Reconstruction Policies on Different Beneficiary Groups: The Case of Bam, Iran

A Review of Resourcing Approaches in Post Disaster Housing Reconstruction

“…ODR allows the affected people to participate in the decision regarding their reconstructed houses: planning activities, building design, area for building, selection of building materials, and which builders to hire (Fayazi & Lizarralde, 2019;Carrasco & O'Brien, 2018). In this approach, technical support provided for the affected people includes engineering solutions, e.g.…”

“…Then, the use of ODR is attracting increasing attention (Tambe et al, 2018;Karunasena & Rameezdeen, 2010). It was employed as a main strategy after different disasters around the world like the 2003 Bam Earthquake in Iran (Fayazi & Lizarralde, 2019), the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka (Leersum & Arora, 2011), the 2005 earthquake in Kashmir, India (Vahanvati & Beza, 2017), the 2007 Sidr Cyclone in Bangladesh (Alam, 2010), and the 2008 Bihar Kosi flooding in Nepal (Tambe et al, 2018). Additionally, ODR was used after man-made disasters such as the inter-ethnic violence after the Kenyan elections in December 2007 (Aubrey, 2010).…”

“…However, PDHR is considered as one of the least successful sectors in terms of implementation (Islam, Kolade & Kibreab, 2018;Enshassi et al, 2017a). Thus, there is a need to understand what makes it effective to utilize the disaster to be an opportunity to build back better (Fayazi & Lizarralde, 2019;Vahanvati & Mulligan, 2017;Vahanvati & Beza, 2017). One of the key contributory factors to a successful performance of PDHR projects is the availability of resources (Samaddar et al, 2016;Chang et al, 2012a;2012b).…”

Rebuilding a more resilient nepal

“…Housing reconstruction creates an opportunity to reduce the vulnerability of the households, but it may also leave them even more vulnerable (Fayazi et al 2015). To understand the vulnerabilities and the needs of the affected communities, the accurate post-disaster assessment plays the key role in the planning of the proper response.…”

“…Da Silva (2010) analyzed the post-disaster reconstruction after the Tsunami caused by the earthquake in 2004 on Aceh, Indonesia. Fayazi et al (2015) compared the impact of the different house reconstruction policies on different categories of households in Bam, Iran. Schilderman and Lyons (2011) analyzed postdisaster reconstruction processes in 10 affected countries.…”
