Abstract

Disasters that destroy homes and infrastructure and cause significant financial damage are becoming more common as population centers grow. In addition, several natural disasters have resulted in a major loss of life and created countless refugees due to damage to housing. After major catastrophic disasters, it is very important that the government agencies respond to post-disaster housing issues and provide resources such as temporary housing before the full rehabilitation and reconstruction of destroyed and damaged housing. To provide affordable temporary housing for residents who may lose their homes as the result of a catastrophic disaster including storms, government agencies must develop a post-disaster housing prototype. In general, government agencies should explore several different forms of factory-built single-story, single family housing, such as modular homes, panelized homes, and precut homes. In urban cities including New York and Seoul, it is very important to provide housing which supports the demand for higher-density living spaces than single-family homes or trailers typically available due to the high population density and the desire to resettle as many residents as possible in their former neighborhoods. This study identified the urban post-disaster housing prototypes that may provide higher density housing with high quality living spaces, high air quality, and energy efficiency as well as rapid deployment. A case study of "Urban Post-Disaster Housing Prototype Program in New York" was conducted through a detailed interview process with a designer, engineer, contractor, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in New York, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and temporary occupants. An appropriate disaster housing program that can provide living spaces for victims of disasters that keeps residents in their community and allows them to live and work in their neighborhoods was developed.

주택 및 사회기반구조를 파괴하고 심각한 재정손실을 야기하는 재해들은 인류의 삶속에서 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 게다가 몇몇 자연 재해들은 주택의 손상으로 인해 많은 이주민들을 만들거나 인류의 생명을 빼앗아가기도 하였다. 정부가 재해이후 주택관련 문제들에 대해 대처하고 파괴 또는 손실된 주택의 완전한 재건 전까지 지낼 임시 주택을 이주민에게 제공하는 일은 매우 중요하다. 재해의 결과로 주택을 잃을 거주민들을 위한 충분한 임시주택을 제공하기 위해 정부는 재해후 임시주택 모형을 개발해야 한다. 기존의 정부는 자연재해 임시주택 제공은 단층 모듈러 주택, 컨테이너를 이용한 주택으로 한정되었다. 하지만 뉴욕과 서울의 도심지에서 인구밀도가 높고 토지가 부족하여 이런 방법들을 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 이주민에게 빠른 설치뿐 아니라 쾌적한 생활공간과 환경, 에너지 효율성을 가진 주택을 제공할 수 있는 재해 후 도시주택모형을 파악하는데 그 목적을 두었다. '뉴욕에서 재해후도시주택모형'이라는 프로젝트의 사례 연구가 설계전문가, 공학자, 계약자, 뉴욕위기관리사무소, 미국공병, 그리고 임시주택 거주자들과 심층 면담을 통하여 이루어졌다. 지역사회에서 이주민들이 삶의 터전을 지키고 이웃과 살아갈 수 있는 적절한 재해주택 프로그램이 개발되었다.
