Post-disaster Resettlement: Developing Permanent Housing Scenarios in Türkiye
Abstract
This study examines the development of two permanent housing design scenarios in Malatya's Yeşilyurt district following the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. It aims to balance local architectural heritage preservation with sustainable, resilient housing solutions that promote social cohesion and long-term recovery. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study includes semi-structured interviews and field observations to identify key themes connecting user needs with housing design. The proposed scenarios emphasize sustainability through local materials, energy-efficient designs, and adaptable layouts. Agricultural and communal spaces are integrated to strengthen the community's socio-economic fabric. The study’s context-specific findings may limit generalizability but provide valuable insights for similar post-disaster housing projects. This research offers a user-centered, culturally sensitive framework for integrating traditional architecture with modern resilience strategies, presenting a model for other earthquake-prone regions.
