| Summary: | The post-disaster housing reconstruction (PDHR) is a process discrete from the
construction of housing when circumstances are undisturbed because sensitive measures are put
in place following disasters occurrence. Most of the time, the successfulness of emergency relief
efforts are usually recorded but the same cannot be said of PDHR projects because they often
fail to meet sustainability factors. These days, the topic of sustainable building has become a
leading concern in the academic, construction industries, and governmental agencies.
Sustainability in the building sector has shifted emphasis towards a new concept called net-zero
energy buildings (NZEBs). Data collection was done through a self-administration of structured
questionnaires to 257 flood victims involved in the reconstruction projects. Findings indicated
that community involvement in resource mobilisation and reconstruction process was
insignificant due to misplacement of reconstruction priorities. This is capable of determining the
failure of the project as beneficiaries’ requirements were not considered, and the construction
industry is still unaware of NZEBs. This study is vital as stakeholders beginning with flood
victims will have a more resilient housing, the government will be updated with robust strategies
to solving resourcing and reconstruction issues, and donors will have value for their money. |
