Effective Parameters on Post-Disaster Temporary Housing Design in Rural Settlements

Provision of temporary housing for victims and survivors of a disaster is one of the most importantissues in disaster management process. The purpose of this study was to identify the parametersaffecting the post-disaster temporary housing design in rural settlements by reviewing thetheoretical literature over previous experiences. Based on the findings, the effective parameterswere: "Standards of dimensions and housing size with a minimum occupancy level"; "Durabilityand useful life of the proposed structure and details"; "Optimal construction costs such ascomponents and materials"; "Structural strength"; "Ease of production and possibility of usingprefabricated constructs"; "Possibility of building using vernacular-local details"; "Ease oftransferability (size and weight)"; "Possibility of storage and maintenance in minimum space";"Multiple applications and reusability"; "Simplicity and ease of installation, establishment,assembly, and repair"; "Familiarity of the local-vernacular people with the applied structural form";" Possibility of using local-vernacular people in establishing the settlement"; "Adaptation to thelocal, social, and cultural characteristics of the context (providing a private environment)"; "Takinginto account the physical condition and needs of special people (children, women, and injuredpeople)"; "Flexibility in arrangement and location in different geological and environmentalsituations"; "Flexibility in lay-out and arrangement in indoor spaces according to the users' needs";"Possibility of using local people to build and set up"; "Applying safety tips"; "Providing thermalcomfort"; "Energy consumption"; and "Adaptation to the micro-climate conditions of the region". The findings of this study can be considered by experts, planners, and policy makers in the field ofarchitectural design and temporary housing.
