Simulating and visualising indoor seismic damage
Earthquakes pose a significant risk to human lives because they can cause severe damage to structural and non-structural components of buildings, thereby harming building occupants. Accordingly, reducing earthquakes’ social, economic and environmental losses requires significant effort. Indoor seismic damage, which refers to damage caused by earthquakes inside buildings, such as falling objects, broken furniture and collapsed walls, is especially…
A pathway towards resilient cities
Cyclone resistant housing in Fiji
Fiji housing stock suffers extensive damage during the annual cyclone season, leading to high costs in repairing and reconstructing the damaged properties. Historically Fijian houses were resilient, and the communities could self-recover from natural hazards. The country's more recent disasters have been beyond the country's ability to self-recover. Reasons for this include reliance on international aid, new housing types and materials, populatio…
Knowledge types and knowledge transfer mechanisms for effective resilience knowledge-sharing between cities – A case study of New Zealand
Choosing a holistic urban resilience assessment tool
An integrated framework for assessment of smart city resilience
Cities are becoming smarter in their functions; however, they are not necessarily resilient and able to survive the impact of disasters. An integrated, smart and resilient city is a quest for today and future sustainability that has been scarcely studied. Therefore, this current paper develops a comprehensive framework for re-evaluating cities’ smartness and assessing their resilience against unforeseen disruptive events. A top-down approach is a…
Planning the resilient city
Evaluating socio-economic recovery as part of building back better in Kaikoura, New Zealand
Impact of flagship projects on the recovery of a city post-disaster
A social resilience measurement tool for Tanzania’s water supply systems
Comparing Client Values between Business-as-Usual Construction and Postdisaster Reconstruction
The complexity and resources required for postdisaster reconstruction projects can present a formidable challenge for project participants. Exploring client values in a postdisaster situation can assist in assessing contracting services and developing a suitable contractual framework for reconstruction projects. This study focuses on an analysis of client values in postdisaster reconstruction projects. In so doing, it investigates how client valu…
Investigating the technical dimension of water supply resilience to disasters
South African community in Auckland
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the resilience of the South African community in Auckland to a potential hazard event. Design/methodology/approach The research collected data from both primary and secondary sources. The research used parametric and non-parametric analytical procedures for quantitative data and a general inductive approach to qualitative data analysis and a three-step coding cycle for interviews. A content anal…
Social capacities in fostering water supply resilience in Vanuatu
Purpose In March 2015 Vanuatu experienced Tropical Cyclone (TC) Pam, a category 5 cyclone with estimated wind speeds of 250 kph and one of the worst disasters in Vanuatu’s history. Prior to the cyclone, one-third of water in Vanuatu was collected by means of rainwater harvesting systems; around one quarter of these systems were damaged due to the cyclone and no longer functional. The purpose of this paper is to investigate social and organisation…
A conceptual framework for measuring livelihood resilience
Resilient Post Disaster Recovery through Building Back Better
"Building Back Better" (BBB) has been a popular slogan in disaster recovery efforts around the world, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 2009 Samoan Tsunami, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. BBB has recently been identified as one of four priorities of action for disaster risk reduction globally in the next 15 years by the United Nations Sendai Framework. However, there has consistently been a mismatch…
Client values within post-disaster reconstruction contracting services
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and prioritize the key client values within contracting services for reconstructing the built environment in post-disaster situations. Design/methodology/approach A literature review, semi-structured interviews and questionnaire survey were included in this study. A comparative analysis was used to obtain different perspectives between public and private sectors. Findings A total of 39 client values…
Legislation for building back better of horizontal infrastructure
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine how post-disaster legislation can be used to support building back better (BBB) in the horizontal infrastructure sector (roading, water, wastewater and stormwater networks). Design/methodology/approach A case study approach was taken looking at the rebuild following the Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured open-ended interviews wi…
Build back better
The 'build back better' (BBB) concept signals an opportunity to decrease the vulnerability of communities to future disasters during post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. The 2009 Victorian bushfires in Australia serve as a case study for this assessment of the application of core BBB principles and their outcomes. The results show that several BBB measures were successfully implemented in Victoria and are relevant for any post-disaster reco…
Resource challenges for housing reconstruction
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify resourcing challenges that face housing rebuild following the 2009 Victorian “Black Saturday” bushfires in Australia and to examine the impacts of resource shortages on longer term community recovery. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology included a longitudinal study which consists of a questionnaire survey, field‐based interviews and observations to track trends evident in the surv…
Resourcing for post‐disaster reconstruction
Purpose There is a need to understand resourcing issues when reconstructing the built environment in a post‐disaster situation. The purpose of this paper is to determine the resourcing difficulties that are likely to face the international practitioners in post‐disaster reconstruction by identifying and comparing the factors that affected resource availability following natural disasters in Indonesia and China respectively. Design/methodology/app…
Donor-driven resource procurement for post-disaster reconstruction
An integrated approach
A lack of resources for post-disaster housing reconstruction significantly limits the prospects for successful recovery. Following the earthquake in Wenchuan, China, in May 2008, housing reconstruction was not immune to resource shortages and price inflation. Difficulties in sourcing materials and labour considerably impeded recovery. This paper provides evidence of the resourcing bottlenecks inherent in the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstructio…
