The Methodology for Building a Supply Framework of Interim Relief Housing through a Comparative Analysis of Domestic and Overseas Guidebooks

Natural and social disasters cause the displacement of people, often into temporary relief residences in the form of tents. The conditions of emergency relief tents become exponentially inconvenient dependent upon the length of stay before the availability of interim housing. In Korea, prefabricated temporary housing exists in a standardized form of interim housing, but the interim housing-related guidebooks, which are published by the Korean government, significantly lack a supply framework. On the other hand, the international aid agency published housing guidebooks dealing with the detailed phases of its supply system, allow them to efficiently distribute interim housing to victims. Therefore, to establish a framework for the interim housing supply, this study proposes a methodology for a supply framework. A literature review was conducted to produce a scenario for the interim housing supply alongside a comparison between domestic and international guidebooks. Based on the supply scenario, this study explored the important considerations that overseas guidebooks demonstrate unlike the domestic ones that do not cover these aspects and applied domestic circumstances to the supply framework. This study concludes by stating the methodology’s key considerations for the supply framework.
