Identifying factors influencing housing safety in post-earthquake reconstruction by households in Nepal
Reconstructing safer houses after disasters is essential for the resilience of vulnerable communities, but its dependence on household decision-making is underexplored. This study aims to identify which decision-making factors significantly contribute to housing safety after reconstruction to inform the design of effective reconstruction assistance. The study uses two types of linear regression analysis, with individual and composite variables, t…
Assessing and enhancing the circularity and sustainability of emergency hospital shelters
Leading humanitarian organisations strive to enhance the sustainability of their aid to avoid negative impacts on the environment, economy, and society, particularly in low-resource areas. This study explores how the circularity and sustainability of emergency hospital shelters can be assessed using literature, expert interviews, co-creation and design sessions, and pilot testing. The approach combines a qualitative circularity checklist with a q…
Mapping seismic risk awareness among construction stakeholders
To cope with earthquakes, resistant housing is crucial. Too often essential construction techniques are not applied in the most vulnerable contexts. Local construction stakeholders have a major responsibility in reducing vulnerability of the built environment. This exploratory study investigates current seismic risk awareness in the region of Iringa (Tanzania) and discusses its implications for disaster resilience policy and practice. This medium…
The influence of technical assistance and funding on perceptions of post-disaster housing safety after the 2015 Gorkha earthquakes in Nepal
Housing is vital in facilitating a return to normality following a disaster; however, it remains one of the most challenging and problematic areas of post-disaster assistance. There is a pressing need to unpack “Build Back Better” aspirations to understand the drivers of safe housing reconstruction. The objective of this research was to understand the influence of technical assistance and sources of funding on household perceptions of housing saf…
An enhanced optical micro-fading device
This paper introduces a new set-up for the determination of colour change on cultural heritage objects, referred to herein as a stereo-microfading tester. The system uses high quality optics through the implementation of a stereo-microscope as its central element. This technology enables new developments such as incorporation of high quality imaging systems, and separation of fading and colour measurement processes. This paper describes this new …
Drivers and barriers for the adoption of hazard-resistant construction knowledge in Nepal
Despite the recurring social, economic, and humanitarian costs, disaster affected populations repeatedly fail to Build Back Safer housing to protect themselves from future hazards. This paper seeks to understand how affected households interpret and intend to act upon hazard-resistant construction knowledge by assessing their motivation, ability and opportunity (MAO). We present a novel adaptation and application of the social scientific MAO mode…
Knowledge adoption in post-disaster housing self-recovery
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore communication of hazard-resistant construction techniques after disaster in the absence of outside influence. It further aims to unpack the barriers and drivers in the adoption of knowledge processes to identify strategic recommendations to enlarge adoption of safer construction practices by local construction actors. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on an analysis of stakeholders’ pe…
