- Abstract:
Post-disaster reconstruction plays an important role in disaster management. This activity aims to restore the living conditions of disaster affected communities by building new houses and infrastructures, but reconstruction is also concerned with future pre-disaster mitigation activities. The success of reconstruction will greatly influence the community s capacity toward the next disaster. Recent major natural disasters show great destruction to constructed facilities, and also pose great challenges in reconstruction. Identification of those challenges and factors that lead to a successful reconstruction project will help to direct efforts and formulate strategies for the next reconstruction. Based on a literature review of project critical success factors (CSF) and of reconstruction projects and processes in different countries, this paper investigates and documents challenges and factors that influence the success of reconstruction.
