Millions of people are displaced globally due to natural hazards, conflicts, and development projects, necessitating resettlement processes that often fail to meet long-term community needs. This study aims to evaluate the long-term residential satisfaction of postdisaster resettled communities and propose actionable improvement strategies. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were collected from 90 households across three resettlement sites and analyzed using statistical tools. Additionally, qualitative insights were gathered from 12 experts to inform the development of practical strategies for improvement. The study revealed significant dissatisfaction among resettled communities regarding housing quality, structural stability, and access to essential amenities such as drinking water and communal facilities. Positive correlations were identified between residential satisfaction and factors such as workmanship quality, access to schools, and community cohesion. These findings informed recommendations for improving legal frameworks, enhancing community engagement, ensuring essential services, and promoting sustainable livelihoods. This study advances academic understanding of postdisaster resettlement satisfaction by highlighting critical factors influencing long-term community well-being. It provides actionable recommendations for industry practitioners to refine resettlement practices and lays the groundwork for future research to contextualize these findings on a global scale
