Description
Summary:The post-earthquake housing redevelopment projects success will be much affected when facing with labor, technical staff and experts who are not competent in their field. Moreover, materials scarce supply can cause poor quality of work. At the same time poor community involvement and other important factors that may hinder the project success. Assessment needs also to be carried out in determining the level of damage, location and community conditions so that successful reconstruction can be achieved. This paper provides an overview of the issues and challenges in the implementation of public housing redevelopment projects due to earthquake. The methodologies adopted were mainly focusing on analyzing the information gathered through review of literature and observations made based on personal experience involving in housing redevelopment projects. It was discovered that the most common problem in post-disaster housing redevelopmentis funding. In many instances the government is expected to provide funds earlier. Housing redevelopment project can be an opportunity for corruption which causes loss of project funding, injustice and community rights. Redevelopment projects require top managerial coordination to avoid the ineffectiveness and repetition. Effective policies and strategies are very important to ensure that people's lives are returned to a better condition and are able to withstand future disasters. Identification of ownership and loss of land documents needed to be identified to prevent the redevelopment process from being hampered and delayed. In order to ensure successful implementation of reconstruction projects issues and challenges that influence its success need to be addressed early.
