One of the main challenges in assisting displaced persons who have lost their homes as a result of a natural hazard is the provision of adequate post-disaster accommodations, such as temporary housing. Although the need for temporary housing has increased around the world in recent years, it has been criticized on economic, environmental, and social grounds. A universal approach to post-disaster accommodations cannot successfully deal with this issue because each recovery process involves a unique set of conditions. Therefore, rather than defining a specific strategy, this study aims to present an approach capable of producing customized strategies based on contextual and social conditions. To this end, first, the main factors influencing the choice of post-disaster accommodations are identified through five case studies. It is concluded that all of the factors can be organized into three main vertices to simplify the highly complex issues involved in post-disaster accommodations. The case studies also show that the decision-making process consists of two main parts. To date, a recurring failure to distinguish between these two parts has led to unsuitable outcomes. Thus, this paper presents a new decision-making methodology, consisting of multiple steps, phases, and indicators based on the main vertices.

确定适当的灾后适应的决策方法:重新考虑决策过程的有效指标

援助因自然灾害而失去家园的流离失所者的主要挑战之一是提供适当的灾后住房,例如临时住房。尽管近年来全球对临时住房的需求在增加,但由于经济,环境和社会原因而受到批评。通用的灾难后适应方法无法成功解决此问题,因为每个恢复过程都涉及一组独特的条件。因此,本研究旨在提供一种能够根据情境和社会条件制定定制策略的方法,而不是定义特定的策略。为此,首先,通过五个案例研究确定了影响灾后住房选择的主要因素。结论是,所有因素都可以组织为三个主要顶点,以简化灾后适应所涉及的高度复杂的问题。案例研究还表明,决策过程包括两个主要部分。迄今为止,经常性的未能区分这两个部分导致了不合适的结果。因此,本文提出了一种新的决策方法,包括基于主要顶点的多个步骤,阶段和指标。
