The Housing Design For Disaster Relief In The Lao People’s Democratic Republic
Abstract
The research offers a house for disaster victims in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic that can respond as emergency shelters, temporary shelters, and permanent residences at the same time. To build a house for victims, according to previous studies, form, materials, and labours are the 3 most significant points that have an impact on the house for victims. The proposed house is a one-story rectangular building with lean-to metal sheet roof; the house size is 3.00 x 6.00 meters. Cold rolled steel placed on the precast column is selected to be the main structure. The exterior floor is built by the reinforced concrete, while a steel structure topped with a layer of fibre-cement board is proposed to be an elevated interior floor. A steel frame lining with a fibre-cement board is also be used on the wall. When applied the proposal to the area. It took 24 days to complete. During that time, heavy rain occurred almost every day. If the area has good weather conditions, the house can be able to be completed within 7 days. The total budget was 2,327 USD which was separated into 1,660 USD for material and 660 USD for 2 labour. Regarding the survey, there are several problems. Therefore, the suggestions have been adapted to improve the house design to be more suitable for disaster victims.
