Construction System for Prefabricated Emergency Housing. Part 1: Introduction

摘要

A study was initiated for the development of a construction system for emergency housing in disaster situations in 1976 by the research group Plastics and Construction Technology of The Technical Group Material Sciences, Civil Engineering Section of The Technical University in Delft. A paper was prepared on the initial results for the International Conference on Disaster Area Housing from 4 - 10 September 1977 in Istanbul. A commission was formed from the participants under the auspices of the United Nations Disaster Relief Office and the U.N. Industrial Development Organization. A distinction was made in the three following phases of disaster relief: (1) Long-term planning and preventive measures for areas which are vulnerable to natural disasters; (2) Immediate actions in the event of disasters; in particular, housing primarily in the form of tents; and (3) Coordination of reconstruction and reconstruction of housing.
