Earthquake affected households too often insufficiently apply seismic construction knowledge during reconstruction. This study aims to assess to what degree safety guidelines have found their way to practice in Nepal. Differences are explored between communities in the Gorkha and Okhaldhunga districts, which received differing levels of technical assistance following the 2015 earthquakes. Seismic resistance of houses was assessed 3 years after the earthquakes. Findings from 955 houses in 25 communities show high degrees of adoption of earthquake-resistant construction knowledge in all selected communities. Variation in safer construction across communities differs only slightly for different intensities of humanitarian technical assistance. This finding points toward the need to more closely examine the communication methods employed and motivations of households to build back safer.

受地震影响的家庭在重建过程中经常无法充分利用抗震建设知识。这项研究旨在评估安全指南在尼泊尔的实施程度。探索了Gorkha和Okhaldhunga地区的社区之间的差异，这些地区在2015年地震后获得的技术援助水平不同。地震后三年评估房屋的抗震性能。来自25个社区的955栋房屋的调查结果表明，在所有选定的社区中，抗震建筑知识的采用程度都很高。对于不同强度的人道主义技术援助，各社区之间安全建设的差异仅稍有不同。
