Title: | A generic decision model for developing concentrated rural settlement in post-disaster reconstruction : a China study | Authors: | Peng, Y Shen, QP Shen, LY Lu, C Yuan, Z |
Issue Date: | Mar-2014 | Source: | Natural hazards, Mar. 2014, v. 71, no. 1, p. 611-637 | Abstract: | The increasing impacts of natural disasters on disadvantaged rural areas, especially in developing countries, have led to concerns regarding post-disaster rural settlement reconstruction. Various approaches, including resettlement and in-situ reconstruction, have been adopted, both of which disregard changing the pattern of dispersed settlement in villages. Against a pattern of dispersed settlement, developing a concentrated rural settlement (CRS) within a village is argued to enable the resilience of rural villages and provide a basis for sustainable development after a disaster. Nevertheless, this has received little attention when determining a plan of actions for post-disaster reconstruction. No specific guidelines can be referenced when developing CRS in post-disaster reconstruction due to the lack of a generic decision model. Therefore, this study examines the process of developing CRS in post-disaster reconstruction by mapping four cases selected in Dujiangyan, China, after the 5.12 Sichuan Earthquake in 2008. The examination leads to establishing a generic decision model for developing CRS in post-disaster reconstruction, which incorporates all the proficiencies embodied in the existing practices. This model provides an alternative tool for planning CRS in post-disaster reconstruction. It can also serve as a vehicle for identifying both effective practices and weak areas by comparing varying cases. | Keywords: | 5.12 Sichuan Earthquake China Concentrated rural settlement (CRS) Generic decision model Mapping Post-disaster reconstruction |
